For those still using it, I question your morals.

Please share & donate to help Mohammed's son Karim recover from severe malnutrition as Israel's genocidal famine continues. Donations are slow since the 'ceasefire' & Israel is still starving little children with their siege:

Bertie Ahern quoted in the Irish times: "The problem with equality is that if you give it to one person, then everyone else comes looking for it."

I've never seen the point. Search algorithms already spew out a lot of nonsense, translation software is already really bad, I've known the kind of people who worked in developing this stuff and they're consistently self important gobshites who don't understand things like bias and interpretation
Hands up if you've never used Chat GPT ✋

(I feel like Dozer and Tank in The Matrix right now - at first I didn't use it because, rather ironically, I'm lazy and stubborn (peak Taurus energy there) - literally no, don't make me use the new thing I don't wanna. Now I'm glad I didn't 😅)
Probably a good way to tell right now if the job you’re applying for is run by absolute dumbfucks is to ask if they’re using AI.

ngl I've never once found a topic that I wanted to ask it about- either I'm interested in the thing and want to read up on it properly or I'm not in which case why waste time on it at all

Transphobes absolutely know who “pregnant people” was for and you’ve gotta stop helping them get away with it with your “haha! they still don’t know trans men exist!” - they want you to say that!
transphobes tie it to trans women for reasons twofold - another excuse to demonise trans women despite knowing who the words are for, and willfully erase trans men et al. who they *know* the words are for

They're still going on with that "ceasefire" bullshit.
#BREAKING | Despite the ceasefire and Netanyahu contradicting himself on his trial, his jurists accepted his request to not go to trial tommorow due to "security meetings"

Of course, this is his way of escaping trial, we cannot know what he will do at that time to delay his trial even further

Longshot, but: @kenwhite.bsky.social, do you have any legal resource suggestions for a trans immigrant to Canada who is dealing with a crippling, nightmarish series of spreading facial abcessed caused by heinously incompetent dental work done there?

Ah the deep ocean, answering the question (this time) of:
What if shark but ALSO pig?

Let's meet the angular roughshark (Oxynotus centrina), found across the eastern Atlantic Ocean & Mediterranean.

They're 'hairy', they grunt & they look like this 👇

Bandcamp is more fun
Spotify is crashing HARD because of the boycott. Their stock dropped 11% in value over the last month. Let’s keep this going!

Tell everyone you know to boycott Spotify. There are plenty of alternatives that don’t run ICE advertisements and screw over artists.

We made it easy at boycottspotify.com.

As an American abroad I’d love for my international friends to have a glimpse of things like gerrymandering, and the electoral college when talking about the USA. This brittle, unnatural conservative chokehold is neither as strong nor as representative of the people as the administration says.
Just how big was Donald Trump’s election victory?
The US president-elect has emphasised the scale of his win – but data shows that most voters picked someone else.

The LLM thing is remarkable because if anyone was like "I never went to medical school anyway here's my magic anti disease device pls give 100 billion" they'd be laughed out the room or beaten with sticks but we're supposed to let guys who never read a book hand us an app claiming it'll write them

Back in 2004 a lot of us were already talking about how ugly Rowling's politics and the politics of her books were and getting dogpiled for it because HP fans were nasty, cultish bullies.
Willing to bet this happened to Mamdani too.
Glad he gave his mother such excellent advice.

Nasser has a new fundraiser so even little donations help ❤️
I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Nasser. Nasser was a vegetable farmer before this, but the occupation destroyed his home and the farm he worked.

He has four children Muhammad, 11, Jana, 10, Yazan, 8 and little Adam who is only one and was born during the war. He needs help

Records of great spotted woodpecker, extinct in Ireland for centuries, but which reintroduced itself naturally to the east coast and has been moving west ever since.

Still waiting for them to make it down to my place in Beara, but looks like it's only a matter of time!

This joy and hope carries movements and it is OURS. Any article or post that doesn’t pass the sabotage test can simply suck it!!
So we've been trained to sabotage our own movements from within and it worked on all of us I'm afraid! ESPECIALLY if you're marginalized. But here's how to stop it. Save these. These go in your phone now. REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE.
