The Ms. Rachel thing is instructive because ppl just vaguely talk about her being antisemitic so as to avoid articulating her original offense: daring to feature in her videos a 3 year old whom the IDF blew the feet off of

Feeling that some piece of media or other is “cringe” betrays a weakness of spirit. Oh, this book makes you cringe? Are you some sort of princess-and-the-pea-type weakling? Pitiable.
Oh no they’ve lost the discerning experts of Gen Z booktok

the recovery of atlantic cod stocks is nothing short of a miracle but the lesson of the moratorium has been and always will be if you listen and set policy by science and what workers on the ground are actually telling you, you might be able to avoid economic apocalypse before it happens

In my opinion Democrats get nothing nothing NOTHING by betraying trans people. They hurt themselves with a good deal of their committed voter base, and still don’t get the Republican votes they are so fucking obsessed with winning over. Lose-lose!

People hate voting for squishy moral cowards!!

Quick clinical note:

If you have client who suddenly feels brilliant, overconfident and seems hypomanic without history of significant mood instability

OR

a client who suddenly out of the blue seems to feel confused, incapable, insecure & everything they do is wrong -

ASSESS THEIR AI USE.

for a website full of 39 year olds many of you do not remember the events of 2001 to 2004 very well, and those were only a couple of years ago.

the job of the new york times is to take every utterance of the mad king and place it in a rock tumbler until all the sharp edges are gone and it may be swallowed smoothly by a comatose readership
Here’s how the New York Times describes this moment in their coverage:

53,742 words. Still about 2-3 scenes to go. Lol.
My novel is at 47k words and has about three major scenes left to write. The finish line is in sight.

Star Trek transporter accident + body horror + gritty gay romance btwn two emotionally damaged space mercs + the power of friendship saves the day + the Fermi paradox + the banality of capitalism

This is so enraging. I'd recently relaxed my Loblaws boycott out of general fatigue, but more than happy to fire it up again because of this bullshit
Someone on Reddit filmed an aerial drone advertisement in the night sky in Toronto and if this is real, it needs to be banned immediately.

“What about Canada’s residential schools?” is perhaps the most instructive example, because America had its own residential school system that predates ours, and the only reason why the States can count it as a point against us is because we actually acknowledged it as a problem we need to address.

This seems like the sort of thing Muse will get angry and write an entire album about with song titles like the Loquacity of Silence
Meta, the company behind Facebook and Instagram, has kicked Muse off their longtime social media handles. Yesterday the company launched a new AI product, which is also called Muse, and now the band has been relegated to “@museband.”

The fact we have an executive class that doesn't know what to do with the Looney Tunes or The Muppets really sums up what a joyless, barren world they inhabit.
There are currently no active conversations for a full ‘MUPPET SHOW’ series revival.

Disney, The Muppets Studio and Point Grey Pictures have had difficulties with deciding on a premise for the series that they can all agree on.

Is it somehow AI’s fault that every time my desktop PC restarts all my settings are fucking different and I have to wrestle with the damn machine to make it go back to what I continually tell it to be it’s defaults? Or is this just evil spirits.

This is seismic news for fisheries scientists. Northern cod is *the* iconic symbol of total fisheries collapse due to overfishing (and other factors) *and* the iconic symbol of a complete failure to recover for decades afterwards. This is like announcing the complete recovery of bison on land.

If AI kills us in 10 years it will be because we spent $1 trillion on building gas fired data centres during a tipping point for the climate crisis. We should be spending at that level on the climate crisis, rather than trying to make trillionaires.
