Bethany wore a “Protect The Dolls” t-shirt during rehearsals. The BBC posted it on their socials then quietly deleted and reposted it without showing her from the front. On TV last night they actually blurred the message #Strictly

Reading Nerd Reich and it is jarring to learn for how long technocrats have been dreaming of the society we're inching closer to everyday.
The following year, in 1997, tech critic Langdon Winner coined a term for this emerging ideology: cyberlibertarianism. he defined this as a "collective of ideas that links ecstatic enthusiams for electronically mediated forms of living with radical, right-wing libertarian ideas about the proper definition of freedom, social life, economics and politics in the years to come.

It's becoming clear the LOL/Bryson were *wildly* over optimistic about the amount of support they'd get from loyalist paramilitaries, or the broader Orange Lodge network and the protestant community in Portadown. Nor did they expect the cross community support for the GRRC protest.

Imagine being this disconnected from humanity and the collective human experience. Imagine thinking that art is only about your subjective consumption and not the connection with another soul, experience, time, or place. Imagine speaking and only hearing your own echo. Imagine being this cunt.

Trump White House misspells “United” on the official “super intelligence” document with AI executives. Instead of “President of the United States,” it reads: “President of the Unites States.” Nothing says “super intelligence” quite like misspelling the name of the country.
Screenshot of a Truth Social post from Donald J. Trump’s verified @realDonaldTrump account displaying a signed document titled “Joint Commitment on Frontier Responsibilities.” The document outlines voluntary AI safety and oversight commitments for companies developing frontier artificial intelligence models. On the right side are signatures and company labels for leaders including Sundar Pichai of Google, Dario Amodei of Anthropic, Mark Zuckerberg of Meta, Greg Brockman of OpenAI, Elon Musk of xAI, and Jensen Huang of Nvidia. Near the center-right, Donald J. Trump’s large signature appears above the printed title identifying him as president. The title contains a noticeable typo: instead of “President of the United States,” it reads, “President of the Unites States,” misspelling “United” as “Unites.”
