They’re still arguing with me πŸ’€

Apparently I need to β€œlearn about AI” if I don’t think an β€œAI” app that blocks real creators from home pages is a good thing.

They’re hailing it as β€œgetting rid of all the slop” but all I see is another sloppy AI project that doesn’t do the thing it claims.

JOYCE MESSIER - β€œOf bodies of water and forest-covered surfaces, clusters of light where the cities lie. You've seen the montage, we all have -- this world is enough,” she concludes.

CONCEPTUALIZATION - It *must* be. This is the greatest and kindest arrangement the atoms had in them.

Jayme Lawson from Sinners hit the nail on the head and said how I felt with the whole BAFTAs situation.

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads:

The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.

And our governments are very much the same...

- Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

"How can you oppose war when Khamenei was evil?"

Simple. If you killed Donald Trump by nuking Washington DC, I would not mourn Trump but I'd still say you're an evil war criminal who belongs in the Hague. It's really not hard.

Evidentiary Pragmatism in Transgender Health Care | AJPH | Vol. 116 Issue 3 American Journal of Public Health (AJPH) from the American Public Health Association (APHA)

It took a hot minute, but I can finally share my new paper on evidentiary pragmatism in transgender health care!

In it, I propose a new principle for evaluating scientific evidence based on the best reasonably achievable evidence, avoiding the β€˜catch-22’ where trans care can never be justified.

Children 'weaponised' in toxic trans debate, Cass says Clinician Dr Hilary Cass says

Hillary Cass both sides-ing the β€œtrans debate” dismisses the material power imbalance

- One side is pushing for restrictions, removal of care, & the eradication of trans kids
- The other is pushing for access to care and legal protections

Those are not symmetrical in terms of power or impact

People On Here or irl may not like you. They might have good reasons, or they might not.

They still deserve basic human rights, though. Food, water, healthcare, representation, education, housing, and dignity are for EVERYONE, regardless of the social media beefs and arguments we have.

EVERYONE.

Trump accused of β€˜corruption, plain and simple’ after UAE invested in family firm White House says president is not involved in running his businesses. Ethics experts remain concerned

Two days ago, we discovered Trump has engaged in the most corrupt behavior of any president in historyβ€”giving secret technology to China's ally in exchange for the Trump family getting half a billion dollars.

And nobody is still talking about it. #Corruption

Israel's apologists spent over 2 years sowing distrust in the official Gaza death toll.

Now the Israeli army quietly accepts that it is actually an underestimate.

Eternal shame for the atrocity deniers. They must never be absolved of their guilt.

I've read some bollocks-laden pitches from production companies in my time, but 'Alan, at 50, is approaching a difficult reckoning in his life: does he want to buy a castle or not?' is top tier. Astonishing.

It has been more than half the month, and I have received absolutely no work assignments, including from my most major client, who has never gone this long without assigning me work before. Please let me help you make closed captions while I continue looking for other work.

Too much of my life right now is at the whim of capricious, vindictive, selfish, shitty people in the twilight years of their lives who seem determined to make themselves the main characters to the bitter end. Anyway, maybe tomorrow.

Norwegian PM StΓΈre says Trump repeatedly raisesβ€”complains about, pleads for, and demandsβ€”the Nobel Peace Prize every time they meet. StΓΈre gives same answer each time: decision is made independently by Norwegian Nobel Committee, with no role for Norwegian govβ€”a concept Trump appears unable to grasp.
