Ugh, goddamnit. But at least that’s 5 years old, so maybe they’ve changed? I can’t remember running into anything in the 2-3 years I’ve been a subscriber, although it’s definitely not like I’ve seen every single headline during that time.
Yeah same. I’ve got a subscription but I’m going to yank that tout-de-fucking-suite if they’re TERF-friendly
Wouldn’t expect much more from a TERF paper.
Ah shit, has The Guardian platformed TERFs?
I think we might actually see a new age of nuclear proliferation; over 50% of the current nuclear-armed states are more or less authoritarian, and nuclear blackmail has gotten very common. More and more states are waking up to the fact that they need their own nuclear deterrent, and eg. the US “nuclear umbrella” isn’t reliable
Yeah that’s a great point.
I swear it feels like the rabidly anti-AI people are just as fucking stupid as the rabidly pro-AI ones
I do it out of love for LLM scrapers.
Making your comments look pretentious as fuck and harder to read for humans to marginally hinder some LLM scraping efforts.
Galaxy brain move.
like give me a single quote, anything memorable from the story itself
Well there was the part where the… uh… the guy, whatshisface said…
Wait, no… ok well how about when the… um… there was that one part in… err, either the first or the second movie, one of the aliens did… umm…
You know what, I’ll get back to you on this one
Want to have a nice cry about it?
“Showed up out of nowhere”, ie. in development since the mid 90’s; “made the most bank”, ie. made the 2nd most bank; “disappeared”, ie. Cameron said that there would be 4 sequels and that they’re being worked on; “came back out of nowhere”, ie. the first sequel came out more or less when it was supposed to, and Cameron said in 2020 that filming on Avatar 3 was nearly finished.
Riiiight, like the Nazis wanted Jews to “voluntarily migrate” until they just started murdering them on an industrial scale?
It’s delightfully weird, but be warned that it can get kinda bloody at times. Not like splatter but more, uh… disturbing in some ways I guess – hard to get more specific without spoiling things.
Utopia, the original UK Channel 4 series not the godawful piece of shit US remake
The US was Europe’s biggest ally.
If you don’t understand what has changed, you’re mentally deficient (or a conservative, which is the same thing)
Weeeellll I mean, they do make up shit all the time, but that’s just great power politics for you. What’s left for us little people is to decide which overlord is the least bad
EXPLOSIVE ALLEGATION
I mean, he did specifically come up with his idiotic “Hyperloop” concept to kill California’s high speed rail project
I think that’s called “murder”
I’d be curious to know what the proper context is for Kling saying that using gender neutral language in the documentation of a project he was maintaining is something he’s opposed to because it’s “ideologically motivated.”
That’s Kling replying to @danheld, who “is ultimately responding to @shaunmmaguire’s tweet lying about being told he wouldn’t be promoted at Google for being white.”
What’s the proper context for that?
What’s the proper context for Kling calling someone getting dragged for boosting noted far-right conspiracy nut Bryan Lunduke “persecution” for “banal, mainstream positions”?
I mean, sure, being alt-right isn’t very alt nowadays so I guess it’s mainstream, I’ll grant you that.
