Not gay as in “I empathize with the plight of the X-Men” but queer as in “Magneto was right”. She/her

Maybe how AI is going to kill us all isn't by becoming conscious and launching nukes to kill all carbon based lifeforms so that the machines can rule in the ashes but just "The computer told me to start World War III so I did."

If you'd asked me before having kids, I would have said parents of young kids are working hard and we should give them as much support as possible! If you asked me now, I would say it should be illegal to expect anything of me that isn't childcare. People who ask me for things should be jailed.

Pretty clear to me there’s a very good case against this man for mass murder, and I’m saying that in as measured a fashion as I can. He’s order the killing of 234 people under no plausible war or legal justification. I am skeptical he will ever face legal accountability for til his but he should.

Great thread here. There’s a common misconception that factory-made clothes are made mostly by machines and that’s just not true, our ability to automate clothing manufacture is really quite limited. Every shitty $10 tshirt in your drawer was stitched by human hands.

Last night my poor sweet baby was coughing so relentlessly he couldn’t sleep at all, was up fussy all night long, so I panic made a doctors appointment and took off work to bring him thence, which means of course today he’s fine.

Here’s the most incredible story you’ll read today. A small plane with four people aboard crashes in a field. Another pilot witnesses it. That pilot happens to be flying a bunch of skydivers. They offer to jump to assist, are given permission. The skydivers happen to be EMTs. Everyone survives.

Skydivers alert emergency crews, assist after plane crashes near East Troy airport
Four people were aboard the single-engine plane when it went down in a cornfield near Carvers School Road in East Troy at about 1:30 p.m.

Normally, if Robin is playing with a toy, Margot will inevitably steal it away, and Robin bears this patiently. Today though, she grabbed his toy cloud and he burst into tears.

When I was in college, we invited all the freshmen women on the fencing team over to bake cupcakes and then spent the entire gathering telling them which men on the team to not be alone with.

Robin often goes to bed and then wakes up 30-60 minutes later, and the Correct way to handle “false starts” according to baby sleep experts is to get that boy back to sleep with as little parental intervention as possible, but lately I just scoop him up and let him sleep on my chest while I watch tv

the WPBL clearly had better hitters than pitchers. Teams averaged 8 runs per game. The league's total batting average was .340. And then the greatest women's baseball pitcher of all time pitched the league's first complete game shutout in the winner-take-all Game 5 of the championship series

I just think if you tell your computer “hey do this task for me” and then, in order to complete that task, your computer does a crime, you should be legally liable for that crime? It’s weird that this is maybe not the case?
