Sarah has a suggestion

People who don’t understand that you have to actualize things in physical reality, that we don’t live in digital artifacts.

billionaires have consigned civilization to the fire so they can feel like big great important geniuses

This thing with AI usage devouring RAM and storage and driving prices way up out of range for previous consumer uses? That’s an analogue of cancer. It’s going to kill whole societies.

The heat is a feature!

Yeah. Got that. I wonder if that’s a CPT (continuous performance task) as well. They’ve been used for ADHD testing for like, 70 years I think.

Yeah. That’s a whole mood.

You can still buy them as reptile vivarium basking lights as well. Nothing works as a well as a 100 watt tungsten lamp.

“I like high electricity bills”

Is it a CPT?

I had to do QbCheck. It made me cry.

Shh. Let people enjoy things.

Any article on fb about ADHD, which I get shoved at me a lot now, be full of people in the comments being like, “well I’m aggressively neurotypical and know nothing about this but I bet I’m the first person ever to suggest ‘just yell at them to not be lazy’. I am very clever.”

Me on the sofa, lying down, eyes half closed, very chilled.

Appreciate I don’t STFU about this but it will never not be funny that this is the result of an amphetamine and coffee cocktail.

Cases that pretty much the entire legal profession keep agreeing should go one way tend to generate bizarre results when it is anying to do with trans people.

With ANY other aim I would agree.

This one appears to be “special”

The other issue is that the Greens are run on basically no money. They can’t afford to go to court.

Or Epstein-adjacent radical feminism, as I like to call it

He only quit the Greens after he was suspended for transphobia. A matter of days ago, he was claiming that the Greens want to dish out "puberty blockers like confectionery."

What despicable little man.

The problem is, the UK judiciary has been institutionally captured and it's entirely likely that they will rule that an actual political party does not have freedom of association to not promote people who actively oppose its policies where said policy is "don't put trans women in a big mincer".

Let's be entirely clear here. The Mayor of Casterbridge is totally not "The English Les Mis".
Look down! Look down! You can't handle the grog!
Look down! Look down! The kid is not your sprog!

Even a year ago that would have been unthinkable. Something has "clicked". (2/2)

Phone call out of the blue from car dealer about organising a service. Changed location, date, various sundry questions, all in Portuguese, all with no more stress than had it been in English (which given I hadn't taken my Elvanse yet is a very low bar). (1/2)

Please don't. The Times would have to massively expand production to make room for all the weekly columns they give them.

Progressives in the UK who still haven't got the message: the TERFs are now trying to bankrupt the Greens through repeated litigation, with a fresh round dropping now they're demonstrably a credible choice in elections.

Join the dots. "Feminist" transphobia is a vassal of fascism.

I love watching people use LLMs in public. They’ll reply to a breaking news article and say “@grok is this true?” Babe where do you think it’s about to pull its answer from

Press Association comment from Quakers in Britain This evening, for the second time in a year, the Metropolitan Police raided a Quaker Meeting House and arrested a number of young nonviolent activists who were meeting there on the grounds that they were conspiring to commit a criminal act. The room in Westminster Quaker Meeting House was let to Take Back Power to hold nonviolent direct action training. Quakers support the principle of nonviolent direct action, which aims to protest without harming people. Oliver Robertson, head of witness and worship for Quakers in Britain, said: “For Quakers, faith and action are inseparable. Peaceful protest, prayer and nonviolent action are integral parts of many Quakers' religious life. “Whilst we take the planning of criminal acts very seriously, we believe that this incident is a deliberate targeting of committed young people who want to make our country a more equitable place. This raid is part of a systematic stifling of dissent. “That this is the second time in a year that the police have raided our meeting house dramatically illuminates the broader trend in the UK of cracking down on those who disagree with the government. The right to protest is fundamental to our democracy. It's a key part of how people make their voices heard between elections.”

Statement from @quaker.org.uk about tonight's police raid on Westminster Meeting House. Guys, I don't think they're buying the Met's line about it all being a cover for plotting "mass shoplifting"

i remember when we were told israel doesn't target hospitals.
