I'm more upset than I've been in a while. Windows 11 sets the default documents folder to onedrive\documents. Anything that gets saved there gets backed up to one drive. This includes various save games, all my Reaper stuff, and various other odds and ends that I like to, you know, save. To […]

Note to anyone else having #breadmaker problems: open a fresh packet of in-date yeast and try that. Sigh. Weeks of crappy baking experiences caused by an out of date tin of yeast.

It was never extreme for trans people to want to be treated like human beings in whatever spaces we entered. It did not go too far, and no amount of historical revisionism will make the simple request for equal access to safety in public spaces unreasonable.

I VEHEMENTLY reject the idea that it would ever be legitimate to exclude trans women from a woman's group or women's bathroom or whatever because of someone's trauma around men. That sort of rhetoric has been weaponized against minorities for years to justify their exclusion. "I'm afraid of […]

The fact that my ballot appears to have been conveniently lost or delayed by US customs despite every effort to be early and discreet is tied to why I try to avoid going to America anymore at all even as a citizen and why I don’t have services like Global Entry which could be weaponised against me.

A one-time 5% wealth tax would bring Silicon Valley's billionaires' wealth back to where it was just 31 days ago (when it was "just" 178% higher than on January 1, 2023). They'd rather let 3 million people lose their health insurance than let that happen.

Remember kids, Israel has to bomb hospitals and starve Gaza and incinerate children and shoot people waving white flags and assassinate doctors and journalists and commit daily massacres of civilians, because if it doesn't do this the region will be dominated by evil terrorists

»Anti-fascist Economics« is triggering all the usual suspects even before publication. They come after me with sexist slurs.

This is the deepest crisis of Western democracy since the Nazi era. Growing up in Nuremberg, I have learned that being anti-fascist is my first civic duty. There can’t be a question which side I’m on, as a human and an economist.
As a student of FDR, I say: “I welcome their hatred.”

TL;DR All of the most powerful in US AI companies are in different factions of the same doomsday cult going back almost 2 decades, which of course is fascist and eugenicist. They believe an AI apocalypse is inevitable, someone will create «god»/AGI. The goal is that it’s them, because reasons.
