Quite a few bots are raging about our vid that mentions the ongoing Genocide in Gaza.
To anyone asking me to apologise for calling it exactly what it is, I won't.
End the Genocide. Free Palestine. Free Gaza.

Should my stance on AI require reiteration, here's a thing I wrote about it on Monday. My nicest opinion is that AI is foundationally unethical; my least polite opinion is that the CEOs of every major AI company belong in jail and that the tech itself should be illegal for the same reason meth is.

Blocking trans kids from care is evil.
Its not 'caring'. Its not 'being a concerned parent'. Its evil.
Its staring someone who is telling your their truth in the eye and saying truth means nothing, and your ignorance means more.
Trans kids want to live. Deny them, and you want the opposite.

Let me just say: Fuckers.
Just now, a national trans healthcare felony ban for youth has passed the US House, with 10 year prison terms.
3 Dems crossed party lines to vote to jail providers.
4 GOP crossed party lines to vote against.
It is not expected to pass the Senate, where Dems hold filibuster power.
Story to come.

Do read this. It’s by Brian Eno for @thenerve.news & it’s about this generation’s BandAid.
Lullaby is based on a traditional Palestinian melody, all proceeds go to Gaza, it would be amazing for it to be Xmas no 1, but more than that, buying it is a political act 👊
