TRANS LIBERATION NOW!

you’re laughing? oil doesn’t exist anymore and you’re laughing?

Narratively having Ever Given getting stuck in 2021 to set up Hormuz in 2026 is great foreshadowing. You want your audience to understand the basics of international shipping in a lower stakes context so you drop the real plot without a lot of saggy exposition about the minutiae of cargo logistics.

I should get off of here for the day, but I also want to post stuff that isn’t gonna contribute to destroying my mental health lmao.

Like stuff about the space opera I’m planning (though I try not to post anything that’ll spoil it).

Or about puppies. My parents got a new puppy. He’s a rescue.

Thicc hairy man, dressed as a slutty version of Toad from Super Mario, wearing a mushroom headpiece, blue vest and classic white jockstrap while holding a vegetable prop and tugging at the waistband of his jockstrap.

Happy MAR1O Day!

And how in exchange the zionists were to try to stop the Jewish Labor Bund from trying to overthrow the Tsar?

Or just read about teenagers armed with rocks and guns taking on capitalists, antisemites, zionists, proto-tankies, and the police every nation while singing and holding each other close.

and as always, preorders have a disproportionate impact in the publishing world, because they provide a spike of sales right at release, which tells the publisher to promote a book and the author, so it's always worth preordering books you care about.

Here Where We Live Is Our Country by Molly Crabapple The dramatic story of the Jewish Bund—a revolutionary movement from a vanished world—and their radical vision of solidarity in an age of division.“Molly...

you can preorder it and I recently set up affiliate links with @firestorm.coop because they're a cooperative bookstore that is rad as hell, if you want a discount and to support a rad store.

holy fuck, @mollycrabapple.bsky.social's new book is fire. I'm interviewing her about it for Cool People, but seriously, I read history books about this exact time period for a living and I don't know that I've seen an author pull off "this is how this history matters today" quite so well.

Duncan Hothersall is such a colossal loser

Man with a monthly direct debit to the "kill trans people" party:

Waaaa! Why dont the trannies like me! 😢😢😢

He blocked me before I could even see his response, but I saw it on clearsky bc I was nosy.

I had to make some sort of comment though, bc the idea that some random bigoted loser in Scotland knows Mr Rogers better than an American who grew up on him is silly.

“Oh no! A marginalized person with trauma was mean to me on the internet for materially supporting a genocide against them in my own country!”

I think I know Mr Rogers better than some transphobe from Scotland.

Yeah, guess what? Having that in my bio doesn’t mean I won’t curse or be mean to bigots. I never said I literally AM Mr. Rogers.

I’m under no obligation to treat you as gently as he would.

Learn what definitions are before you try your stupid little retorts.

“I know better than trans people” is talking over us, you fucking jackass.

I think it’s obvious you’re either extremely poorly informed or you’re a disingenuous prick.

Okay so you’re just posting revisionist history now.

Also you’re talking over trans people so you’re a pretty shitty “ally.”

Honestly, go fuck yourself.

No you haven’t.

The closer your AI gets to a random number generator, the better.

There’s a reason @horsedisc.bsky.social produces funnier posts than most LLMs can dream of.

By trying to make it approach human behavior, we make it approach order, when chaos is what makes it create new and unexpected combinations.

The AI bros love messing with AI and want it to be perfect.

I’m not that.

I love messing with AI and want it to be dogshit.

Dogshit AI is way more fun.

Markov chains produce way funnier outputs than GPT-5 will ever be capable of.

Make AI worse.

Make it hallucinate 100% of the time.

Since I now feel the need to add at least a partial disclaimer:

• Runs on my smartphone, not a data center
• None of what I do improves the model
• I treat it as a gimmick and not to generate or modify anything I actually output (except stuff where it’s obvious, and usually just me discussing it)

Anyways, one of my favorite things the AFM-on-Device LLM will do is respond to a prompt like “Is it true that X?” with “No.” and then proceed to explain that X is true.

I always feel the need to add disclaimers to posts about my messing with (mostly breaking) generative AI stuff because I don’t want people mistakenly thinking I’m contributing to it in the process.

But that means every time I post about it, I feel I have to write paragraphs explaining why I’m not.

Anyone who argues that AI can do your research for you was not the one who did all the work in the group project

You are exactly the problem. And calling trans people “people like you” is part of the issue.

We’re not on the same side. You’re willfully materially supporting trans genocide.
I’m trans.

You don’t get to tell ME that YOU are my ally. That’s for ME to decide.

You cannot change the party from the inside. That’s nonsense that’s been debunked countless times about systems like this. They’re designed to shut down dissent against the party, not to hear and respond to legitimate criticism.

You’ll never be an ally to trans people so long as you continue to support Labour.

You have scottish labour in your bio Duncan
