Dr. Benjamin JJ Carpenter

And yet every time you see a picture of the same 23 terfs looking miserable in a field somewhere, we're told they're the majority opinion

Bindel and Stock are really still out there grifting the grift.

Odd to see Doctorow in such a lineup.

side note, but i love this phrase "woke scolds policing the playlist" as if right-wingers aren't perpetually stuck in the cultural/musical equivalent of a one-horse town that also happens to be in hell

AI cannot 'do research'. It can mimic an appearance, but it is incapable of engagement or reflection beyond that appearance.

Those convinced by the illusion reveal their lack of understanding as to what research is.

My partner passed with minor corrections! 🎉🎉🎉

A semantic game. He's normalised so much of them that they now appear far more acceptable to many despite holding fundamentally abhorrent views.

Alas, the constraints of timetabling.

Would that I could exclusively lecture in the afternoons.

The seekers of knowledge shall need to struggle if they wish to learn of Nietzsche.

This morning's lecture is deep within the Science building; a veritable warren. Will anyone be able to find it? Stay tuned!

Heard Mr Brightside for the first time this year.

I have told a few MPs this. I genuinely feel a lot of adults hate the existence and needs of young people. Then they act surprised/bewildered that these kids are anxious/depressed.

Kids can't hang out in parks. They can't hang out at the mall. They don't have 3rd spaces because no one wants kids around and then we are surprised when they rely on SM for connection.
If you take that away, what do they have left?

the magic of the Muppets is that there are two fourth walls. they constantly break the one that reminds the audience they are performers. they NEVER break the one that reminds the audience they are puppets. this dynamic is the key to their entire comedy style

One of my least favourite genres of reply on here is when someone says something like this and someone else will reply "lol, like there will be history books in the future" as if this has anything to do with the point being made

I'm so glad to find others willing to say the truth out loud. Sanderson's prose is not great!

“AI is the asbestos we are shoveling into the walls of our society, and our descendants will be digging it out for generations.”

Graham Linehan proves the point that trans liberationists have been saying from the start:

If you'll permit dehumanising and stripping the rights of trans people, you will dehumanise and strip the rights of anyone on a long enough timeline.

Who agrees? ✋

Okej...

There's a child in this shop using the plunger of a caffettiere as a rattle. Ingenious, if loud.

Happy Partially Muscled Skeleton Day to all who celebrate. Be sure to let all your screams out and then disappear.

Genuinely delighted to download a PhD thesis from a university repository where the author has neglected to remove the words "BITCH THIS IS YOUR THESIS" from the filename.

I just heard the Fate of Ophelia for the first time. May she rise from the watery depths to claim her deserved vengeance.

People say this as if this being average wouldn't be, in itself, extremely alarming.

Why are scholars researching the far right still so reluctant to use racism as a defining concept?

It was problematic when racism was disguised under a thin veneer of twisted liberal discourses, but now it's pretty much in the open I'm surprised there still appears to be a reluctance

Throw all the shade you'd like, honestly. It can be grating when people profess a general intolerance for bad media and then make every possible excuse for their favoured trash. Like, climb in the garbage with the rest of us!

Makes sense to me that people might engage with different media differently, taking one 'more seriously' or paying more attention to it than others. I feel like I'm much more attentive to writing than to TV and film, generally speaking.

The world is so filled with beauty and wonder and I feel very strongly both that it should be a kinder place to live in and that it is within our power to make it as such

There's an older couple I often see in a local coffee place. They're usually around on Friday afternoons, always take the same seat by the window, holding hands and watching the world go by as they sip on tea. Occasionally, they take a nap in their seats, side by side.

Honestly that's the ideal.

So much TERF vomit is just projected insecurity about aging, a fear that the world might leave them behind. The irony is that the world is rushing too precisely because they insist on being so utterly vile.
