Some buildings hold their shadows after sunset. They stretch and pace beyond the failing sun. Stalk corridors, assemble in former ballrooms in hope of a grand waltz. Creep wooden doors and walls overdressed for the dark. Shadows that are so eager to meet you. – #DAKilroy, 1982

There's still a few things I miss about dating people, and compliments that come at you from left field, but that tell you you are very very seen, is probably the top one.

I came out as nb to an (ostensibly straight) bloke I was seeing who immediately said he would have had to be with me even if I were a dude. I mean I assume nobody who's dated me is actually straight*, but it's still the joint-best compliment I ever got, and the joint most unexpected one.

Aw man, Sir Prime Minister Andrew "Kieth" Starmer QC was JUST about to adopt every single Green party policy but then the vile Polanski decided to say that zionism is racism so now Mr Starmer will have to build another £20 billion worth of data centres and it's all Polanski's fault 😡😡😡

AI has talked kids into suicide, fueled paranoid delusional that led to murder, degraded education quality in both k-12 and higher ed, run roughshod over copyright law, increased spam, fueled spam, fueled fraud, degraded the environment, put people out of work, the list goes on and on.

In both cases, life has been drastically reshaped for the worse and society is taking it with a shrug. In both cases, reasonable concerns and radical demands are treated as equally ignorable. AI is making everyone's life worse, both boosters and critics acknowledge that, but nothing is done.

I'm increasingly frustrated that people who are anti-AI aren't being taken seriously, and taking a page out of my thoughts on why the anti-trans backlash got as far as it did I'm starting to think the anti-AI side isn't extreme enough.

“For others, it will be a pathway that may lead to goods or services, or possibly just signposting, but not to a cash award. If the details given to us are correct, the result could be thousands of potentially arbitrary and unexplained decisions not to allow a PIP claim to go forward.”

“…the proposed model involves an initial triage phone call during which a claimant explains their situation. They are then placed on an “assessment pathway”…for some, this will be the PIP pathway that allows them to claim a cash benefit and perhaps services as well.”

“But the most consequential issues are left to the final session and the cost-based system for deciding awards does not appear until the very end of the workshop, slide 60 out of 60. Participants have reported that there was not time to discuss the idea.” What a surprise said no #Disabled person.

And not just "people" (I don't know anyone who bought that bullshit, but perhaps my social circle isn't representative of a norm); the news outlets all bought it, spread it, pulled a sad face and repeated it.

I have reached that part of the year where the foxes inexplicably deposit random objects on my lawn. Today: a very large man's shoe. I realise as I type this that I have not in fact checked whether it contains a very large man's foot, which, if so, might suggest I have a lion problem.

As described. Shoe is black and has the forlorn look of an object that has had a rough few days.

The problem is, you can't really say "we condemn this thing" and then only explain in the small print that you are using one particular definition of "this thing" and very specifically not any other definitions, even though a lot of other people use those definitions and will react accordingly.

Right, and the moment comes where you fully realise that by having feelings about it, you're actually wasting energy. It's a hell of a thing, to understand that you can't even afford feelings. I'm 18+ official years in now. 😬 And I'm very very calm, almost always. #mecfs

Public schools banned nearly 12,000 books in the past year, says PEN America. That's the most since tracking began 5 years ago. "Many of the bans were in Florida and Texas.... School district administrators rely increasingly on AI to determine which books should be pulled." tinyurl.com/35edktjk

Schools banned a record 12,000 books in a year, according to annual report

Themes of race, sexuality and gender remain common reasons to ban books, as some school administrators use AI to determine what gets pulled, a new report finds.

Over and over again, all around the world

A black-and-white cartoon of a flock of sheep in a field with a billboard showing a wolf in a suit, and the words "I AM GOING TO EAT YOU" censored. One sheep comments to another at the bottom, "He tells it like it is." The scene humorously depicts a straightforward, if grim, political message. Cartoon by Paul Noth.

Managing this - the effect the furious grief about the loss of your old life, the restriction and social isolation #mecfs has on your MH - is a job in itself in the first few years. Took me about 7 years to get to a non-dangerous-to-myself place with it. There's no help from the #nhs.
