if your default reaction to someone doing something monstrous or cruel is to assume they're mentally ill, you're not making a diagnosis; you're afraid to accept that they are just a person, just like you are.
Bigotry is a symptom of precisely zero mental illnesses.
Fascism too.
Leftists have got to unpack their saneism.

this isn't funny buses only do this when they're really scared
So this happened in Oslo yesterday. Four articulated buses got stuck in a roundabout.

Well it’s definitely an improvement!
Society is a construct. You can just ask someone to do a ska cover of Faith of the Heart and they'll say "$300 please" and you give it to them and then you have it.

People are So Weird
Fleetwood Mac 's "Silver Springs" is a trending sound right now at least on Insta, and people are using it for ... their wedding videos and getting brunch with friends.
they hear "you won't forget me" and go "awww 🥹"
🫠 You don't even need to know the background, just actually listen to the song

I got a Twitter DM from the publisher of a book by Jeffrey Haas (Fred Hampton's lawyer) that I'd recommended in a thread that went viral, thanking me for the unexpected spike in sales. I'm sure we're talking dozens, not hundreds, but they were like doing highkey internet sleuthing to figure it out!
I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

I’m still thinking of the audacity of writing a piece basically entitled “GET A LOAD OF THESE NUTCASES” and then nobly telling the world you will endeavor to endure the “harassment”, ideally with a tear in one eye.
Also the dude regretfully posted on Twitter that he’s bracing for “a wave of harassment” for the piece. Absolute crybully behavior. I’m sure the 600 followers his little zine site has on Bluesky will take up arms for him.

Men will do things like announce “the most popular pie in the country is bad and it’s not debatable” and still be allowed to have jobs and drive cars.
Apple pie is bad. This is not really debatable. So is key lime pie, while we’re on the topic. Pecan pie is the 🐐 tho.

Ok I read the article so you don’t have to and honestly it isn’t as obnoxious as the headline but it’s not leaning into the most interesting part of the question, which is “why do we still know so little about human consciousness that we can’t easily explain why a talking machine isn’t conscious”

I don't even want to link to this, but the author of the article also wrote a novel about how 'ai will transform humanity' lol.
Almost every assumption the article makes is something that should be challenged immediately. "AI is starting to sound like another kitchen appliance" NO IT ISN'T.

Tall and protruding hoods are a massive problem and here’s another reason why.
Yes, HID headlights are very bright but the bigger problem is the proliferation of gargantuan vehicles with 5’+ hood heights so that if you’re driving a normal sized car their headlights are at your eye level rather than seat level like they’re supposed to be.
