I would imagine that for most people, 82 children is more children than they could name. And that's just children, because there's an additional 82 adults dead in those four hours too.
Every. Four. Hours.
For years on end.

All I can think of this Christmas is that last Christmas, between 70,000 and 120,000 Palestinians were alive that have since been murdered by Israel's genocide. Over half of them were children. That's 500 to 1,000 children murdered per week. Or 82 during a four hour Christmas evening.

Luckily Britain doesn’t have to worry about this so much, because we have a thriving anti-racist movement and people are free to speak openly against bigotry, without being relentlessly hounded for it by opportunist shitehawks and far right psychos in politics and the press.

Surely this will outrage Rowling and the terf squad, right? These are men accosting women in a women’s restroom. I’ll wait!
ICE agents illegally break into a woman's bathroom in a NY nutrition bar manufacturing plant. "Pull up your pants," says a male agent. The agents only had a warrant to review employer documents. They didn't have a warrant to search for, detain, or arrest anyone there.

Incompetent courtiers being put in charge of key technical positions and then totally botching them was a recurring feature and major weakness of historical absolute monarchies and authoritarian regimes. Anyway, Bari Weiss,

As a white male member of camera department I've also experienced this, and it's fine! I get it! When I first entered the industry 18 years ago it was *overwhelmingly* white and still is now. "The barest of bandaids on centuries of racism both explicit and structural" is a phenomenal way to put it

It’s really funny how they keep thinking they can treat people on the left like this and bank on their vote… pre-2020 I’d have been a dead cert to vote for Labour, now I’d happily crawl over broken glass to the polling station just to spite these awful fucking people. They’ve lost me for life.
Yet another crap video from another Labour MP (Josh Simons) attacking me and "lefties."
Showing us exactly who they are.
They serve only power & weath.
2026 - the year of people power.

If anything, it’s worse that you’re using it for shit you can easily do yourselves and not seeing any productivity gains for. You’re helping train mass surveillance tools so you can generate a harder to find Lorem Ipsum? For THAT? Fuck you.

Everyone who uses AI for content gen tries to justify it with increasingly bizarre mitigations from "we're only using it to prototype", "we're only using it to iterate", "we're only using it to fill in some gaps", "we're barely even using it", "hey it still took us all night", "it's not even good"

I am also interested in how, after at least a half-decade of our media and politicians deriding tone policing, trigger warnings, inclusive language and other concepts, they have pivoted on a dime to debating whether certain utterances should be made criminal offences without a moment's hestitation.
I invite you to ask yourself why the language of protestors has been a terrifying daily concern, but e.g. successive governments giving the US unlimited use of our airbases to fly a gajillion dollars of weapons of destruction into Israel for use on huge numbers of civilians is not concerning at all.

Using AI tools to make your own work easier is cognitive fly-tipping. That work is just unloaded onto someone else downstream of you who will spend far longer sorting out your mess than you saved avoiding doing the work in the first place.
Eventually AI wastes everybody's time. Now it's archivists and librarians.
