Uke-player, busker, from Nottinghamshire, ordinary person, trying to make sense of the mess of a capitalist colonialist billionaire-producing shitshow that the UK and world has become. Trying to be environmentally better than many, but still having to balance that with practical home budget. Christian, which is where a lot of my philosophy starts from, but try to be inclusive and helpful. Work as a bus driver, generally schools.

I’ve just had email notification from the Royal Mail that a parcel is out for delivery. Apparently it’s due to be delivered Tuesday 1st February 2000 between 12:30 and 14:30. A time machine would be good rn.

@pomegranate_stew @Wearwolf I read that and wondered why it had two house numbers...
I’d like to see the #DeathCult hold a rally announcing all the cuts to healthcare, social assistance, and public safety while instructing the brainwashed crowd to cheer “We’re all going to die anyway!” after each announcement. I’d bet my house they could get crowd to do it too.

When people call LLMs “useless” they’re generally being kind as it’d be more accurate to call it harmful, dangerous, toxic, or risky.

It’s like calling white asbestos “useless”. Technically true in most western countries because you literally can’t use it, but it kind of elides the reason why

Today, the Israeli minister of defence Katz said Khamenei ‘can no longer be allowed to exist’ after hospital strike. Apparently Mr. Katz, who is responsible for the very discriminate targeting of hospitals, health workers, and patients across Gaza, occupied Palestine, and beyond, is someone who cannot extrapolate!

I had already basically written-off ever going back to the United States ever again, but these (repeated) stories of completely innocent travellers getting detained and deported are the nail in the coffin.

How My Reporting on the Columbia Protests Led to My Deportation

"Maybe you think calling ChatGPT/Stable Diffusion/etc “weapons” is too extreme. “Actual weapons are made for the purpose of causing harm and something that may cause harm should be in a different category,” you say. But I say: if a tool is stealing work, denying healthcare, perpetuating sexism, racism, and erasure, and incentivizing layoffs, splitting hairs over what category we put it in misses the point."

The Cost of a Tool - Edward Loveall

The more Iran bombards the zionists day by day,
The more Palestinians get slaughtered in #Gaza

84 starved Gazans murdered only today

The whole nightmare reminds of Auschwitz and Dachau, just before the Red Army deliberated the prisoners.
Nazis kept killing more and more as a revenge to losing the war

Someone needs to be the Red Army for Gaza asap
