Hey I'm Sam (she/they), I like long walks in the moors, full moons and organising for revolution. I'm probably complaining about trans rights or making weird synth noises otherwise.
Help fund my slot! www.gofundme.com/f/sams-gende...

I would commit a lot more to my job if it paid in boops and ice cubes (and free rent but tbh it's mostly the ice)
After a long day at the aquarium, the otters help tidy their toys away. Payment is made promptly and entirely in ice cubes.

The fact that this guy who quit anthropic “for ethical reasons” had an exclusive about it in the Wall Street journal should have been the big warning. Instead it was the sign to take it seriously! Good stuff everyone

The best way to honor Charlie's memory is to continue his work: engage with each other, across ideology, through spirited discourse. In a democracy, ideas are tested through words and good-faith debate — never through violence.

If breaking a commandment is grounds for removing someone's Jewishness phew, wait 'til they hear what those books say about killing.
Ed Miliband’s parents survived the Holocaust, Ed Miliband is Jewish - that is immutable
Questioning his Jewishness like this tells you all you need to know about people like this, and what their values are - and what they truly think about Jewish people that don’t behave how they want them to

Microsoft wants to build a 160MW AI data centre just outside of Leeds, next to the River Aire. By its own numbers the resulting habitat loss is massive. The reedbed and wet woodlands will lose 87% of their biodiversity value whilst the site as a whole will lose 72% of its existing wildlife habitats.

Food Service has effective channels for response: Michellin Guide reviews. Firing me for shitting in your food is literally cancel culture gone mad.
Academia is a unique space where people can pursue controversial questions wherever they lead. If the work is pseudoscience (and, in my view, Cofnas' race science clearly is), academia has effective channels for response: public criticism and peer-review.

After Stock professed extremist ideology twice this past week (e.g. disabled women are faking; autistic people and people with ADHD are 'unsuited' for academia) and being billed as an expert during the Arday plagiarism scandal, I forgot until now that Stock was involved in her own plagiarism scandal

![From Wikipedia:
The purpose of a system is what it does (POSIWID) is a heuristic in systems thinking coined by the British management consultant Stafford Beer,[1] who stated that there is "no point in claiming that the purpose of a system is to do what it constantly fails to do".[2] It is used in systems theory, and is generally invoked to counter the notion that the purpose of a system can or should be read from the intentions of those who design, operate, or promote it. When a system's side effects or unintended consequences reveal that its behaviour is poorly understood, then the POSIWID perspective can balance political understandings of system behaviour with a more straightforwardly descriptive view.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:xa4eltdd2z3scndtv4yvb65p/bafkreiem4i55e3gqp6endhcbz2voh2vgqd4y5xdo7bd5qgkrvnz745riby)
