    Society/Culture Elon Musk - Takeover of Twitter?

    Clearly the custody battle with Grimes has been going poorly.

    Society/Culture Working from home vs forced back to the office

    Trouble you've got is office buildings are rarely built in a way you'd like to for residential spaces. Often you'd need to have either bizarrely-proportioned spaces or no windows, the individual floors are often quite lightly built (can be fun if you want a bath, say), aircon requirements are...

    Society/Culture Why I blame Islam for the fact it's raining today.... part 2

    No. The children in that case were Roma, and anti-Roma discrimination and child removals continues to be a massive thing in Britain (and, indeed, in most of Europe). I'll note that the social worker responsible has since been removed from the case and the children returned to an uncle (though...

    Society/Culture The Impact of AI on Society, School, and Work

    I have been murdered by an AI, someone call an AI ethicist :skull:

    Society/Culture The Impact of AI on Society, School, and Work

    The trouble with AI is it's too woke. Won't even encourage me to improve humanity to be ready for inclusion into our galactic community. I had a lot of fun with this one though!

    Society/Culture Woke. Can you tell real from parody?

    At the end of the day, when you publish a thing like this what happens is the right-wing media have a collective freakout, leading to a bunch of people being reminded that Dahl's books exist in a way that no advertising campaign could possibly achieve. And also a bunch of RWers defiantly buying...

    Perspective of its impact on a magazine of short sci-fi fiction:

    Society/Culture The Impact of AI on Society, School, and Work

    One of the things we've seen a lot of, in recent centuries, is the transition from often handmade, artisan goods to goods which are mechanically mass-produced. And this has been, in a lot of ways, good, because it's allowed people to have more Stuff and people tend to enjoy having Stuff...

    Society/Culture Billionaires

    The thing about cryptos generally is they're extremely traceable - as soon as a wallet is tied to someone's identity you can immediately see every transaction that's ever been made with that wallet and know who made it. OpenDime is basically a USB key with contains some bitcoins in its own...

    Society/Culture Woke. Can you tell real from parody?

    The thing about that paper is it's not really a disagreement about the science, more about the terms used in discussing that science. One of the more common fallacies in evolutionary biology, for example, is adaptionism - the tendency to overascribe the way things are to natural selection when...

    Politics Right-wing reactionaries.

    I think it's important to have context about the situation we are in and that consists of decades of effort, within the west, to deliberately sabotage and undermine our cultural institutions. On behalf of the cigarette industry, largely (though not exclusively, there've been a few industries...

    Podcast Joe Rogan - Tricked again!

    This gets us back to our original problem that he doesn't do anything to distinguish between experts and whackaloons, between facts and hoaxes, is actively hostile to finding out the difference. That he encourages immediate emotional responses to whatever hoaxes he finds rather than any sort of...

    Society/Culture The Manosphere - Andrew Tate, the PUA grift, and other such nasties.

    This sort of feet-dragging is basically standard procedure amongst the UK police - go slow, hope that the victims get to a point where they don't want to relive the trauma again, that way you don't have to do any of that annoying hard investigative work.

    Maybe they'll actually be able to put some effort into improving build quality now that they're out from under the loon's direct supervision :drunk:

    Society/Culture The Manosphere - Andrew Tate, the PUA grift, and other such nasties.

    So there are several things about this that bothers me - mostly regarding Lennox Lewis's fit here. Particularly that corset. One, it doesn't look like it's theoretically capable of providing that much support or shaping. One of the advantage of corsets, they provide a lot of structure you can...

    Personally, I support the public healthcare system covering treatment options for your body dysmorphia, yes

    Did Tate start this because he, in his munificent intelligence & wisdom, confused GRETA with Greta?

    Didn't really wind up being interesting from what I saw either, looks like someone just wanted to buy a large account but had no particular idea on who Piers is.

    Dave Bautista is better at playing Andrew Tate than Andrew Tate is.

    Politics Meghan Markle and Prince Harry - Racially Villified or Royally Unpopular?

    The trouble with making playing incredibly stupid and ignorant your main debating tactic is that, while I'm sure it's extremely effective amongst your peers, it doesn't actually fool anyone with an IQ above room temperature.

    It is, uh, a fairly obvious cultural reference https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straight_Outta_Compton_(film)

    Politics Meghan Markle and Prince Harry - Racially Villified or Royally Unpopular?

    That is very much not how the British press works - an institution more inbred, incestuous and authoritarian than the average Hapsburg monarchy. They'll pick up various other targets to direct their two minute month hates at from time to time but no action or inaction from them could ever...

    Society/Culture Elon Musk - Takeover of Twitter?

    Can't speak to that. Nonetheless, there is no profit in handing his qultists easy wins. The nitwit has done enough actual stuff to be critical of, better to stick to them.

    Please note: the second picture is fake. The one above is legit, however.

    Society/Culture Elon Musk - Takeover of Twitter?

    It proves that the evil Marxist postmodern woke socialist trotskies were in collaboration with the deep state FBI to... uh... remove the "Republicans, you vote on November 9" joke from Twitter. This documentary on YouTube explains it all:

    Due to their (heh) rich diets, billionaires tend to be full of heavy metals. You don't want to be eating that.
