Great to catch up with the Camden New Journal. Tomorrow on the ballot paper in Holborn & St Pancras - a Green win means I'll be in Parliament pushing on housing costs, nationalising Thames Water and keeping oil & gas in the ground. Vote Green! 💚 youtu.be/bM4YgbS96Nw?...

You really do not need to do this to yourselves. But if you decide to anyway, please remember when covering it that LessWrong & Rationalism came *first*. EY wrote the fic as a *recruiting tool* to bring more people into the cult.

The squandered opportunity is absolutely incalculable. A historic, unforgivable betrayal, that will directly grandfather in forces of monstrous fascism. There is no moral distinction between fascists themselves, and the handmaidens of fascism. Labour delenda est.

Not a Christian myself, but my understanding of the theology is that the bible was relayed by god to various prophets, who recorded what he told them. So the events in Genesis weren't passed down in a continuous oral tradition from people of the time, god told a prophet about them centuries later.

"They're not misunderstanding the film; they're co-opting a message"
Screencap from the interview linked in the quoted post

Marlow Stern (the interviewer):  You have one of the most renowned replies in Twitter history. Elon Musk tweeted out, “Take the red pill,” then Ivanka Trump enthusiastically wrote, “Taken!” to him, and then you replied, “Fuck both of you.” I’m curious how you feel about the co-opting of “The Matrix” by those on the right who don’t really seem to understand its messaging.

Lilly Wachowski: I mean, I can’t sit in a room and explain the movie to every single person who watches it. Even if I did sit in a room with Elon Musk and Ivanka Trump — yikes — it doesn’t matter. They’re not misunderstanding the film; they’re co-opting a message. And that’s what fascists do: They co-opt the messages of progressives and use it to their benefit to confuse and obfuscate what is going on and the intention of their ideology. They do it with everything. They do it with Martin Luther King Jr. Look at how they’ve changed the idea of what antisemitism is.

If a lEgiTiMaTe dEbATe aBOut iMMigRaTioN leads to people turning up with pitchforks to demand credentials from every group of young non-white men arriving in town, you’d think even Labour MPs would start asking themselves if it’s really a legitimate debate
Amanda Martin, Labour MP for Portsmouth North, called the hotel incident "deeply concerning".
She said: "It's completely unacceptable that misinformation has led to young cricketers visiting our city being wrongly targeted and mistaken for people seeking asylum.
"It's also wrong that people who work in the hotels had to deal with this.
"Those who arrived in Portsmouth on Sunday were transported outside of Hampshire for processing.
"There is a legitimate debate to be had about immigration, but it must be based on facts not misinformation or rumour."
The BBC understands the England and Wales Cricket Board has checked on wellbeing of the Pakistani under-19s team, and is reviewing security arrangements for the remainder of their tour.

It's impossible for Cofnas' views to stay outside the classroom, though. He's made it very clear he thinks certain groups have lower/higher IQ based on race/ethnicity. Even if he never brings that up in class, the fact it's public means it will affect his students' relationship with him anyway.

Sarah Ditum is a truly horrible person. Jason Arday is DEAD. You don’t need to keep mocking him and hounding him, he is gone. They can’t even leave him alone in death. Has the internet really dissolved everyone’s humanity this much? Genuinely upsetting. What’s wrong with people?
Screenshot from her awful Substack reading ‘And Arday was a perfect silly season story. It was
- and I am sorry to say this now that Arday is dead, but it is true — very funny. There was a childish brazenness to his exaggerations and inventions. Running 600 miles in six days, and 30 marathons in 35 days (some with a broken leg): obviously ridiculous. When The Guardian's Lanre Bakare investigated some of Arday's more baroque claims of harassment and found they didn't stand up, Arday's response was hilarious:
"To be honest with you, I thought you'd just believe me." This was a misfortune for Arday too.
If he had been less amusing, he'd have attracted less attention.
