Light years ahead on rudimentary equipment in 1971. Beautifully sparse, wonderfully wonky Lee Perry brilliance at the Black Ark.

The broligarchs' personal inability to see woman as human beings 1st led them to tout robots for sex; now they're pushing robots as caregivers.
My prediction: next step will be to propose robots for gestation of human fetuses.
Their goal, an adolescent dream: no women in the He-Man Boys Club!

absolutely insane to see Musk feted at Davos as the icon of a boldly "optimistic" future in 2026, as if he hadn't just spent the last year buying elections for fascists, making Nazi salutes, condemning millions in Africa to death, and building "Mechahitler," and a nonconsensual porn/CSAM generator

Surely the King should be putting his head above the parapet at some point. I know it's not the done thing, but we are so far past usually done things. The Royal Family are the only thing he respects here because he doesn't know the difference because he is that stupid.

I cannot tell you how absolutely infuriatingly this stuff comes across to Europeans.
When we say America is no longer a reliable ally, it goes considerably deeper than Donald Trump himself. This kind of complacent, condescending shit is a *huge* part of it.

ah well at least we restructured the entire contemporary university, the product of many centuries of slowly accumulating human ingenuity, to boost this
“One notable MIT study found that 95 percent of companies that integrated AI saw zero meaningful growth in revenue. For coding tasks, one of AI’s most widely hyped applications, another study showed that programmers who used AI coding tools actually became slower at their jobs.”
AI Completely Failing to Boost Productivity, Says Top Analyst
AI may or may not excel at a lot of things, but from an economic standpoint, it's definitely not making us more productive.

Been saying this. Trump respects " kings " ( lol ) and doesn't have the intelligence to understand the constitutional difference between our Keir and our Charles. I'm sure Charles has got an opinion. This royal vist is the absolute best leverage we have and Charles needs to step up talk some game
Trump is acting as the world's bully and there comes a point where you have to do something.
Sucking up doesn't work. We have to put threats on the table.
Trump adores the Royal Family and the royal visit to America is leverage that no one else has. We should use it.

Israel is raining bombs on civilian homes in South Lebanon right now.
Residential homes. Not military sites.
And this despite a so-called “ceasefire.”
