Lunatic. Alleged artist, critic, and some secret third thing. Trans woman, but in a weird upsetting way.

I have a website allegedly, I’ll update it when I have an ounce of focus.

The idea that there are doctors who throw Puberty Blockers, let alone HRT at a kid who wanders in off the street and then whip them away for surgery is on a par with believing in secret alien bases at the centre of the earth, one will get you weird looks, the other will get you a job in journalism

Real "What views?? WHAT WERE THE VIEWS, ACTUALLY???" moment
I know we're all focusing on the chat gpt thing but this is an absolutely insane way for the observer and also glinner to refer to an ecofacsist who believes that trans people were invented by jews to eliminate humanity and that mass bombing campaigns should happen for the enviroment.

every limitation, every danger, every implausible claim about LLM capabilities needs to be analyzed through that lense. they are language models, they are not capable of doing anything a language model can’t do, they don’t think or feel, they don’t know or dream, they create likely text responses.
Every prompt to chatbot software is “generate me some text.” If it generated you some text, it performed its function correctly. It never lies, it never wants anything, it’s text generating software that generates text.
Not wanting to disappoint you so much that it lies is the last quality I want in a computer.

Archita is having a truly terrible time between family and house issues.
Thank you to everyone who's shared & donated for your generosity. But support has fallen a lot. Please help Archita reach her goal and get some semblance of security in this terrible time for her and her mother. I'm the only one who's donated in 3 days:
Fellow Calcuttan writer/editor Archita Mittra is in desperate need of financial help. She recently lost her father, her home was damaged in the recent rains, & her mother's in hospital. They don't have insurance, & she's a freelancer. I can vouch for her. Please share widely & donate:

If you're enjoying home-cooked meals this Thanksgiving, please give a thought to the people who can't.
Please share & give to help little Hassan's family keep him alive through Israel's continuing genocide. Donations have slowed a lot since the 'ceasefire', & Palestinian babies like Hassan are still critically malnourished & freezing in winter rain:

@mattzollerseitz.bsky.social has politely asked if I can spin this off into another thread, so - Arnold Schwarzenegger King Lear. Play Lear as fundamentally a former Conan type, who built the kingdom with his bare hands and a lot of bloodshed.

my biggest problem with Stranger Things, and i've been saying this for nearly a decade now, is that they're so vague about when the show is set. maybe if they gave us some hints it would help contextualize the narrative a bit. but no, it's a complete mystery when this show takes place! baffling

Studying history keeps me grounded because it reminds me that humans have always contained beauty and majesty within us, and have also always been weird gross little freaks who like weird gross stuff and try to kill each other for absolutely bonkers reasons

Sometimes you pause to marvel at the fact that the mods of this platform have been deleting the accounts of mothers begging for money to save their children's lives in the middle of a genocide for 2 years now, and this is just...normal. We live in utter depravity.

I've spent some time thinking what I should say about this, but I can't.
I owe Goran almost everything I've accomplished as an artist online. He's helped and supported me as he's done to hundred others, and his willingness to help is what he's been banned for.
For being the best one can be. Sad.

I think the slipping standards of literacy and education in the US in particular is having a really deleterious effect on culture, because the global tastemakers and cultural gatekeepers come from a nation that made phonics education controversial and turned consumer brands into religions.

"I DNF first-person books if I can't relate to the protagonist" is a kind of illiteracy.
The point of first person is not to insert yourself into a narrative. You are supposed to experience and empathize with the perspective of a character that is intended to be fully fleshed out.
