He’s running out of time.
Please sign and share to help this innocent man who not only didn’t pull the trigger, but the man who did got life without parole, while Sonny is set to be executed for a murder he didn’t commit on March 12th. Gov Kay Ivey needs to do the right thing.
There's also the fact that Rowling has been fairly explicit that the money she earns through Harry Potter she's putting into anti-trans lobbying efforts.
There's a difference, IMHO, between an artist with a shitty private life, and an artist using their money to fund regressive social change.
This. My university keeps wanting me to make a “syllabot,” an LLM-based chatbot my students can query about the syllabus. And all I can think about is all the resources being consumed so no one has to use Ctrl+F.
Yes! John Brown and Jayhawks stole from slave owners.
If you thought it was OK to steal Black people from Africa and keep them as slaves? Then they thought it was OK to steal them from you and set them free, and to steal all your other stuff and keep it.
If you didn't like it? They took you out.
What’s fucking enraging about this is that every lovely turn of phrase the AI churns out is human-authored. Google each fragment of the below - “forged in dying stars,” “created in stellar furnaces,” “the universe is not indifferent to us,” “implicated in something vast” - and you’ll find a source.
There are a lot of people in the quotes who are amusingly overconfident in their ability to spot AI either from habits it has or just a lack of human "vibe" and both attitudes are pretty dangerous tbh - you can't assume everything with em dashes or rhetorical triples is AI!
No transfers from Labour should be in the Greens' top team or act as spokespeople. They should spend at least a few years as unimportant normal members/candidates. As penance, but also to keep the Greens' integrity intact...
Amazon calls emergency meeting because using AI-generated code keeps breaking Amazon.
200 years ago today, Alexander Graham Bell became the first Boomer to call someone younger than them for absolutely zero functional reason at all.
People tell me that AI code is fine, because you can run automatic tests. But tests can only tell you if code is doing the thing you want it to do.
To know what it SHOULD do, we used to have requirements. But now requirements are themselves vibe-coded slopotypes.
The result: waste and risk.
‘As a couple, Andrew and Sarah Ferguson have always been too stupid to understand the vulnerability of the institution that supports them, and they began wrecking it from the inside as soon as they met.’

"electability" is such a dumb concept. if you win an election, you are by definition able to win an election.
It's 2026.
Puberty blockers have been banned on the basis of a fake study conducted by a generalist paeditrician.
Hormones for under 18s have been banned on the basis of a fake review conducted by a head injury specialist.
Both remain available for cis kids because that's 'different' somehow
If you’re a Labour MP who doesn’t want to be called transphobic or be tarred with the bigoted stench this Labour government’s policies leave behind?
Leave Trans kids alone you absolute freaks.
the best analysis money can buy and they’re all getting circles run around them by “orange man bad”
The reason the middle-class media has not reported Hannah Spencer being attacked by right-wing transphobes is that it needs to preserve the nice, coffeee-round-the-kitchen-table, middle-class view of transphobia, not the thuggish fascist reality.
There is apparently credible evidence that the president of the United States is a pedophile. The comforting phrase “accused him without evidence” no longer fits this situation, and journalists must resort to the more perfunctory “hasn’t been formally charged.” www.thedailybeast.com/key-details-...
I had a relative who started giving people ball point pens when her dementia got really bad, don't know what made me think of that just now
the weasel word here is “good quality”. you can’t do a double-blind study if the people who get the placebo drop out because they can tell they’re obviously not getting HRT. they rely on obfuscating this
This didn't happen. The perception that it did is largely based on fictional shows that were about rich people. Much more common was a household where one person (theoretically Dad in a het household) was the higher earner and paid the housing costs and the other paid utilities & food
When all the other time travelers are busy killing Hitler, I’m gonna take out Laura Ingalls Wilder.
Almost all the cultural spaces and restaurants I've been in recently have switched to gender neutral toilets. It's indicative of how Labour's rabid hatred of trans people feels bizarre to so much of civil society which is asking itself, 'what drugs is Labour on, and how do we ban those?'
Tomorrow Wes Streeting will remove trans minors ability to access, and doctors to prescribe, cross-sex hormones.
Try as it might Labour will never eradicate trans people. They cannot, and should not, change who they are. All Labour will do is make trans lives harder - with more harm and more death.
This International Women's Day, please remember that trans women are women. Full stop. No qualifiers.
This is an excellent rule for storytelling but also implies that Philip Pullman witnessed the death of God as a boy.
If 176 children were slaughtered in their classrooms in Dublin, Brussels, Berlin, Tel Aviv or Texas by a foreign adversary, the world would rightfully be at a standstill.

• Veterans who were discharged from the uniformed services due to sexual orientation or gender identity/expression. - They do not need to live in Washington. - They do not need to enter school within a certain amount of time after separating from the military. - They maintain resident student status as long as they stay continuously enrolled. - Does not apply to veterans who have a dishonorable discharge from the uniformed services.
TIL that military service members who were discharged for their sexual orientation or gender identity qualify for in-state tuition rates in Washington regardless of their residency!

The thing about a FIREFLY revival is this:
It was a show with a very particular voice, one nearly unique to its writer-creator, who is...an issue. If you bring him back, that's a problem. If you don't bring him back, it probably doesn't feel right.
And either way, he gets paid.
Concept art of Rosalind Lutece's wardrobe and outfit construction from Bioshock Infinite, drawn by Claire Hummel
"concept artists can experiment with AI to make their lives easi-"
wrong
I smack you with Claire Hummel's immaculate and detailed understanding of costume design, which she got by studying historical references, which made her strong, which you will not become by relying on AI
get good
The footage of Keir Starmer in Gorton & Denton saying emphatically "ONLY LABOUR CAN BEAT REFORM HERE! ONLY LABOUR CAN BEAT REFORM HERE!" just gets funnier.
