I do not want it on TV.
"Why not try it? Just for me?"
Fine, I'll try it, then you'll see.
As she opened up ChatGPT.
And typing in, she said: alas,
This really is just total ass.
"But don't you want it in your car?"
"Don't you want it near, and far?"
"Don't you want it on TV?"
"It's going to be the future, see?"
I have to say, it's very clear.
I do not want this, far or near.
I do not want it in my car.
I do not want it near my art.
I do not like this gen AI
I do not like what it implies
I do not want it in my art
I do not think it makes you smart
I do not want it in my games
I do not like its goals and aims
I do not want it in my books
I do not like the way it looks
I do not like it, I don't care
I do not want it anywhere
Dolly Parton is literally the only good billionaire and proof we don't just actively hate people with money simply for having it.
We hate you because you're all fucking monsters.
What we see here is Donald Trump, acting as he always does, as a global chaos generator.
The further we stand away from that, the better off we will be.
Well said @georgemonbiot.bsky.social 👏

I once voted LibDem & they became part of the coalition & enabled the Tories. I could never vote for them again
Absolutely, there's a reason the Lib Dems have not had a big bounce on the back of Labour's conversion to Tory, the LDs did the same in the coalition, the start of permausterity, and people are still bitter about it.
And here’s the fun part: these people are going to remember what the Sensible Moderates did and said, and how they behaved when given power, for the rest of their lives.
My family background is working class Tories, too. On reflection, I feel like I was quite well placed to predict that doing crackdowns and aping Reform to impress racist retirees, while roaring abuse at lib/left types, was going to destroy the base of your support and earn you no additional voters.
This is the people who were against austerity, are anti-racist, who didn’t like the wars, struggling to get on. *Loads* of people like this. Did it not occur to anyone that relentlessly plastering all channels with “Fuck You, Specifically” was going to give these people the impression you hate them?
Labour is losing voters to progressive parties disproportionately. And they are not mainly "lanyard" professional or working classes, the oppositional forces of Blue Labour and right discourse. It's squeezed millennials in service careers. Which our politics ignores. • Demographically, most progressive defectors are frustrated lower middle class Millennials - not affluent urbanites or a PMC 'lanyard class. Though they have liberal social values, many are frustrated graduates; Millennials with a mortgage or rent they are struggling to afford - primary school teachers, IT support or clerical workers. In short, the face of the modern social democratic voter.
Speaking as a lower middle class graduate with an office job and a mortgage, born in the late seventies, I would say: this is half my social circle and most of the people I worked with for years. How in the name of Christ did nobody in politics or media see this coming?
In Defense of Effeminate Boys If anyone had suggested that I might really be a girl, I don’t know how I would have responded. By Ben Appel
No one before Ben has ever considered that trans women might actually be effeminate gay boys. No one has ever suggested such a thing to us, repeatedly, in a bid to prevent us from transitioning, or developed entire typologies around the idea, or reinforced it in multiple academic fields!
Lib Dem Leader Ed Davey:
"Tax exiles like Isabel Oakeshott and washed up old footballers who mock ordinary people who stay in the UK and pay our taxes... As we protect them, it's only right for tax exiles to start paying taxes to fund our armed forces, just like the rest of us".
"On the day I visited, men were waiting outside two GP surgery rooms to get blood tests done, with the promise of a consultation to discuss the results two weeks later."
Everyone - gym rats, recreation drugs users - gets blood tests from their GP. Everyone, except trans people.
Hell of a legacy you’re building there, dummy. It doesn’t matter how many times you plaster your name on buildings and ballrooms in tacky gold letters. Your grave will be one big beautiful public urinal.
Starmer's ability to find the exact sweetspot which pisses off everyone is extraordinary. He's a savant.
It took just one phone call from Donald Trump for Starmer to jump into yet another Middle East illegal war, failing to learn the lessons of the tragedies of Iraq, Libya and Syria.
As a historian, I'd just like to remind the politicians who follow me that it is not, in fact, 2003 anymore and the current GOP war in the Middle East is not, in fact, even remotely popular.
So if you're a weathervane who just tries to do what's already popular, full-throated opposition is it!
realised this article does not at any point name the hormones as "estrogen" or "testosterone", instead they're mysterious "cross sex" hormones which the reader is invited to assume are something completely different and scary
There is no such fucking thing as "trans hormones"
Cis men are accessing testosterone on the black market purely for vanity at unprecedented levels…
It’s “estimated that there are about 500,000 men in the UK between the ages of 15-64 who have used steroids in the past year… there are about as many steroid users as cocaine users among men that age”
I raised a smile at this, yesterday. The Times pushing T - off label and against the evidence - but only for cis women.
For years we said they’re going for a genocide of trans people and for years we were told to “stop being so dramatic.”
Now we’re at the point of human experimentation with the explicit goal of eradicating us.
Can we call the genocide a fucking genocide now?
"Unquestionably blindly following the Americans is, in my view, the wrong thing to do.. I'd pass legislation that said military action could be taken if.. the lawful case for it was made.. there was a viable objective &.. you got consent of the commons"
When's the vote, Keir?
Reform win a seat: The true Volk have spoken and we all must listen.
Greens win a seat: Early reports that Muslims may have ‘voted’ (an ancient Islamic practice designed to steal elections). How severely should the franchise be limited in response?
There’s this One Weird Trick for preventing desperate people self-medicating called ‘providing necessary healthcare’, so weird no one has thought of it 🤷♀️
This is eugenics. Genocide. An attack on science, medical ethics, bodily autonomy, and human rights.
Where is the outcry from the biomedical community? Trans people aren't just abstract patients and research participants: We're your friends, family, and co-workers.
Speak up before it's too late
Well, yes, trans people are getting drugs; yes, from entirely unregulated sources; yes, without counselling; yes, without blood tests; yes, they are self-administering; yes, without clinical oversight; yes, risking long term harm; yes, it is highly suboptimal.
What did you think would happen?
Genuinely astonishing how clueless The Times when it comes to everything about DIYing - in particular the scale at which it is happening. Literally, what did they expect? People can't stop being trans.
Streeting must know - but his preference is that trans people die in private not live in public.
This is exactly right. We knew what Labour's full-scale withdrawal of healthcare would mean for trans people. We told them it would be devastating. This should have been obvious. But to please JK Rowling they did it anyway.
