Yeah it is genuinely fucking scaring me the degree to which all our cultural output about nuclear war lately seems to present it as a Struggle That Humanity Will Emerge From Stronger. We honestly cannot allow that message to propagate in our fictions, because it *will* doom us. Nuclear War is not…

Threads director Mick Jackson has expressed worry over the upcoming remake’s focus on finding “hope even in the most challenging of times.”

“That one phrase worried me,” he tells Empire. “Hope is not part of nuclear war.”

The Behind the Bastards podcast 5-parter on "The Men Who Might Have Killed Us All" was a terrifying eye-opener for me as a Millennial. Hearing about how much some people wanted an excuse to use them, how lax the controls were, that a power outage could bring us closer to annihilation

One of my big nightmares is them quietly setting up some shit tech bro software to run some vital link in the communication chain, so the next time an inevitable false alarm happens (as has happened SO many times), no human will be positioned to catch it and stand down.

Mason @realMasonMohon : 1h You have a pride flag in your bio. You obviously think marriage is a term with no actual content that can be applied to anything. No wonder we say you don’t understand marriage Ephraim Stone @TEStoneWrites - ih The rainbow in my bio is a reminder that G-D will never again bring destruction to creation, that His covenants are eternal, that his word is unfailing, and that His gifts to my foremothers and forefathers are everlasting.

Money can buy happiness. If Elon Musk built a rocket and shot himself into the fucking sun that would generate massive happiness.

"AI doesn't work" is incorrect.

It functions perfectly as a plausible-looking bullshit generator used by fascists and pseudoscientists to inflict major damage on societies.

won’t somebody think of the childrennnn
4 panel comic Panel 1: A dad and his child watch a kids tv show featuring a big cuddly bear and a small cute dog (who is eating a pizza) Bear, gesturing to dog, says: This is Spot. They like pizza a lot. Panel 2: Dad, immediately incandescent with rage shouts: “They” Oh my God what the hell is this?? In a kids show??” Panel 3: Dad, now ascending on a wave of frothy fury points to his child and yells: This is gonna confuse you!! You won’t learn!! You’re gonna need therapy!! Panel 4: Therapist’s office. A therapist makes notes. The child, now an adult, lies on a couch and says: …And my dad would just start screaming at cartoons…

Eastern Kentucky coal fair cultural victory, I fear
One of my physicist grew up in rural eastern Kentucky. When she was in school, they did not have a science fair. Every year they had the "Coal Fair". All of the science projects had to be about coal in some way or another and they had to be positive about coal, not negative. As you might imagine, the fair was sponsored by the local coal company, and the head of the coal company would come and give out prizes to all of the little Kentucky kids for their excellent work

They had the audacity to claim Bluesky didn't have the juice, but not since peak Twitter have I logged off for an evening and come back to my entire feed speaking in a new language of rapid-fire in-jokes that I have to reverse-engineer to figure out what's happening. That, my friends, is The Juice.

Whoever has sent me a DM on here, I can't read it because I refuse to give my private identity details to an off-shore 3rd party

Meaning - BlueSky has disabled the messages feature here unless you provide them with your age

However, @bsky.app have farmed age verification out to this crowd 👇🏽
A screenshot of a UK media article, that reads as follows: The path Bluesky has chosen is Kids Web Services (KWS), a system controlled by Epic Games. Yes, that Epic Games. To verify yourself as an adult to Bluesky UK, you'll have to register with KWS. You don't have to use KWS if you're a kid - only if you're an adult, or "parent" as KWS will refer to you. That's a clue that KWS isn't primarily an age verification platform; it's a child privacy protection system. The sort you'd build - or buy in - when huge fines for violating children's privacy are in the air. Epic has focused on the parental registration part of the platform and made it available for free as a tool for adult age verification. It might seem uncomfortable to force adults onto something called Kids Web Services, but to be fair rebranding as Adult Web Services would be even worse. A free service from a major company; it's easy to see what Bluesky gets out of it. What does Epic get? Irish data compliance lawyer and blogger Simon McGarr dug around and found out. You have to give permission for an enormous amount of your personal data, including payment card details, phone number, address, face scan, national ID numbers and documents, access to your device details, when, where, and for how often you do things online, and on and on. This is by way of building what Epic describes as a corporate asset of a database to do with as it wishes. McGarr has been reading the fine print: "If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, we may share your personal information with the acquiring or receiving entity." The price for being an adult on Bluesky is corporate surveillance, at least in the UK, on a fortnight's notice. This has very little to do, in theory or practice, with protecting children from harm online, and everything about protecting Bluesky and Epic's bottom lines.

Imagine if #Russia would be destroying the headquarters of UN's UNCHR in #Ukraine today.

It would be the leading news in the 'West', eclipsing Trump and Greenland.

#Israel is today destroying the headquarters of UN's UNRWA (@unrwa.org) in #Palestine.

And it goes almost unreported in the 'West'.
