ICE killed a teacher in Georgia yesterday when they chose to chase a man who posed no danger and had no criminal history. A Black woman, a beloved teacher, was killed by ICE in Savannah, Georgia.#abolishice

l love this crazy show, but not sure how I feel about the undeath of the shady, sinister bisexual trope.

Anyway I absolutely do not buy for one second that Yasmin never did anything gay at school, so I'm assuming there's a lot of denial and defensiveness behind her blowup.

That's our Yaz! 🙄

Hilary Cass here arguing for children to be prevented from being known by a preferred name or getting a haircut in case it encourages them to continue later in life to transition.

Hilary Cass acts like gender variant children should have the transness hazed out of them.

"Our standing rule is: If one of us brings up using GenAI in any of our work, then it's safe to assume we've been assimilated by The Thing and should be burned alive by Kurt Russell," said a game design consultant in the US.
Over 50% of game developers now think generative AI is bad for the industry, a dramatic increase from just 2 years ago: 'I'd rather quit the industry than use generative AI'
The latest GDC survey also found that managers are more likely to use generative AI than their employees.

Mother: so you run a school?

Charles Xavier: a school for gifted youngsters, like Timothy

Mother: but it’s a real school right?

Xavier: oh my yes

Mother: so he won’t be trained to kill

Xavier: oh no he certainly will

Mother: but he won’t actually have to do it

Xavier: oh no he certainly will

Person of Interest is a great show that plays on themes of mass surveillance, artifical intelligence, right to privacy, the boundaries of doing good vs doing harm, but also
Sarah Shahi, who plays Sameen Shaw on Person of Interest, being interviewed in front of a San Diego Comic Con backdrop. She is saying "And it's always a fun day on set because all I do is chase boys and then I kill them."

“The document is from last May and reportedly describes the new “Name Tag” feature that would allow smart glasses wearers to identify people using Meta’s built-in AI assistant. The New York Times reports that Meta initially planned to launch the feature during a conference for the blind before releasing it more widely, but that never panned out. Meta, which makes smart glasses with Ray-Ban and Oakley, reportedly plans to launch the feature as soon as this year. Sources tell The Times that the facial recognition technology wouldn’t allow people to identify everyone they see. Instead, Meta is reportedly considering using the feature to detect people that the wearer is connected with on one of Meta’s platforms. It’s also exploring “identifying people whom the user may not know but who have a public account on a Meta site like Instagram,” according to The New York Times.”

Feb 14th 1929 - Joe & Jerry witness the St Valentines Day Massacre.

📽️📅 Some Like It Hot (1959)
3 Screenshots from the movie "Some Like It Hot" (1959): First, a group of men with their backs to the camera, hands raised against a brick wall, with a table in the foreground covered in playing cards and coffee cups. Second, a tense standoff scene with men in suits and fedoras, one holding a machine gun, inside a dimly lit garage. Third, two men crouching behind a car, looking alarmed, with a visible Illinois license plate.

To give you an idea of how deranged the UK has become about gender stuff, here's Enid Blyton - the absolute avatar of classic English conservatism and a huge fan of racist "gollywogs" - casually describing a gender non-conforming kid in the 1940s and having their friends be totally cool with it.
"I say! Are you Georgina?" The child in the opposite bed sat up and looked across at Anne. She had very short curly hair, almost as short as a boy's. Her face was burnt a dark-brown with the sun, and “Famous Five 01 - Five On A Treasure Island” By Enid Blyton 7 her very blue eyes looked as bright as forget-me-nots in her face. But her mouth was rather sulky, and she had a frown like her father's. "No," she said. "I'm not Georgina." "Oh!" said Anne, in surprise. "Then who are you?" "I'm George," said the girl. "I shall only answer if you call me George. I hate being a girl. I won't be. I don't like doing the things that girls do. I like doing the things that boys do. I can climb better than any boy, and swim faster too. I can sail a boat as well as any fisher-boy on this coast. You're to call me George. Then I'll speak to you. But I shan't if you don't." "Oh!" said Anne, thinking that her new cousin was most extraordinary. "All right! I don't care what I call you. George is a nice name, I think. I don't much like Georgina. Anyway, you look like a boy."

Good morning please enjoy these French porcelain sphynxes, they can’t believe you would actually post that, they are both repelled and intrigued
Two exceptionally derpy-looking mid 18th century French ceramic sphynxes who look like disapproving aunties The bluer sphynx. She looks both repelled and intrigued at what you just said. The redder sphynx. She looks like someone just farted at a funeral The two sphynxes seen facing each other. They’re kind of neat looking! But derpy. I wouldn’t expect good riddles from them tbh, their riddle game looks mad weak but their gossip game looks 11/10
