I imagine @nadiawhittomemp.bsky.social will be getting the usual abuse for speaking out - solidarity with her and all those fighting against hate manipulated by the wealthy right gleefully creating a distracting wedge issue

Mirror
EXCLUSIVE: JK Rowling
'funding transphobia' as equality in Britain goes backwards, MP says
Nadia Whittome, who has just joined Westminster's Women and Equalities
Committee, called for the Government fight back against toxic narratives and show solidarity with the trans community

She said: "It's increasingly difficult when what we're up against is a machine funded by billionaires in this country and the US, with political support from countries like Russia as well.

"You just need to follow where the transphobia is coming from, it's not coming from working class people, it's trickling down from the top.
"These concerns are not being raised by a cleaner on the minimum wage, somebody stuck in an abusive relationship. Trans people aren't a threat to them, the threat to them comes from violent men and the structures
that keep them trapped, whether that's low pay, low benefits, not having access to the public services they need.

She said: "We see negative headlines about trans people in the media every day, the Tories and Reform continue to use them as a political football, often most damagingly in reference to protecting women from women who aren't trans, which misdiagnoses the problem of male violence, which is something...done to women both trans and not trans by violent and abusive men.
"The only way we can stop trans people being used as a political football is to stand up for their rights unequivocally, by not giving an inch.

The adventuring party thought they’d bagged a gelatinous cube… but they were in for a very different kind of encounter.

💀 ⚔️ 🍈

A fantasy tavern scene: four adventurers and a wizard sit around a table examining a large green gelatinous blob with coins and bones floating inside it. The busty tavern waitress leans in and says, “Nah, if it was a gelatinous cube, it would have corners… and NOBODY would want to touch it!” The caption below reads: “Indeed, the adventurers had captured the equally dangerous gelatinous boob.”

rich people do not know any more than the rest of us, except occasionally about the very specific thing that made them rich (and often not even that)

in many ways the process of becoming rich and insulating yourself from ever being told you are wrong means they know significantly less

rich traditions @helldude.bsky.social · 6h

theres a whole category of newstertainment thats gotta go. and its "ask a really rich freak who is also evil and directly stealing from you what hes seen on the computer lately that has made him feel bad." the only -- ONLY -- story about this guy worth exploring is: he is getting rich spying on you

IRELAND: These folks make GORGEOUS slate place mats edged in copper leaf—and one of the really fun things about slate is you can write on it with chalk, which delights small children (what design will be under their plate today?) and works great to indicate who sits where at a dinner party

Putting the office back together after the disruption of the living room redecorating. Jim suggested I add Judge Death's feet to my "blasphemous altar".
Voila!

An old TV stand covered in an antique white table cloth with two enormous brass church candle holders on top. Beneath the cloth, a pair of monstrous green feet can be seen poking out from under the lace. These are Judge Deaths feet, which I sculpted from foam.

Stupid lore Sunday

Despite presiding over a galaxy spanning empire that has lasted ten millennia humanity is a relatively young race. The Aeldari strode the stars when man’s ancestors still resided in trees. Even the orks, primitive as they are have a long and storied history.

Altman has been quite clear about his strategy.

From the 2008 crash he learned that if you bind enough of the economy to your business you can do whatever you like; government will decide the rules no longer apply.

What he's selling is unaccountabilty.

Alan Elrod @aselrod.bsky.social · 17h

I honestly don’t get the value of this company. They hoover up energy and water. Their product constantly gets things wrong and, in extreme cases, coaches people into suicide.

And it’s all built on what seems to be malicious and vast intellectual property theft.

What does OpenAI offer the world?

As you may already be aware I'm a bit of a history nerd and I particularly like reading biographies of women written by women. If anyone wants a recommendation from the books I've read, let me know.

"According to the publication, the communications could demonstrate willful infringement, potentially leading to enhanced damages of up to $150,000 per work, a massive increase from just $750."

The fact that it was ever at $750 is a slap in the face.
