Imagine the system that creates a man of such astounding racism, ignorance and dishonesty, and allows him to rise to such a position of power. He is bullshit in human form.

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

I know this isn't an original observation, but it is absolutely WILD to me that in the last five years tech adverts have gone from aspirational futuristic cool to just outright saying "Oh my god, you're such a fucking loser, just get the computer to do everything you useless shit".

The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead: www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr...

Bloomberg: Epic Games is going all in on AI as an unannounced shooter featuring Marvel & Star Wars characters is implementing an "AI first" production model "generated with full AI workflows". "No more hand-written code", said one of the directors to staff. ➡️ www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

A spaceship landed in the park. A door dilated. An alien emerged with a chair, which they sat down on, backwards. "Look," they said, "we're not here, okay? You know why nobody contacts you? Because the write-up would be such a pain." They sighed. "Get your shit together, okay? We know you can."

Can you imagine the press reaction if Palestine Action were forcing Ambulance Stations to close? Or the Socialist Workers Party were shutting Fire Stations? No, of course not, cos it wouldn't fucking happen. These people are terrorists and should be treated as such. Ban, arrest, imprison.

"A general observation; the test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposing ideas in the mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function. One should for example be able to see things are hopeless and yet be determined to make them otherwise." --F Scott Fitzgerald

As both an academic and a writer, I am repelled by the "this looks like a long document. Would you like me to summarize it for you?" that seems to appear at the top of every pdf viewer now. NO. The *entire point* of good writing (either books or journal papers) is that every sentence has a purpose.

You know, when you find out that the art you like is made by people you've learned hold views you find wholly repugnant, I don't think you need to disavow ever having enjoyed the art. It's okay to acknowledge you liked or loved that art, but are now putting it aside. That was then, this is now.

A long journey across space from a distant colony world cut-off from Earth, twenty years after the fall of the Alliance of Free Stars to the relentless Ur-Quan. But uh oh, what's up with Earth? A stellar port of a DOS space opera classic. 📺: Star Control II, 3DO, 1994

People in the comments telling this guy that he's wrong, but he's not, he's spot on. AI is a crypto fascist feudalist project to disenfranchise and impoverish the "useless eaters" and promote an unelected elite. What would YOU call it?

USER WAS BLOCKED FOR THIS POST@blockedforthispost.bsky.social

Everyone knows that making or sharing AI slop is an act that promotes and enriches white supremacism and fascism. Anyone making or sharing AI slop does so knowing that it exposes them as a nazi piece of shit.

Absolutely great work from Annie here to capture what I can only describe as an inexplicably cool scene from Charlie's Angels. Sam Rockwell giving an absolute masterclass in being a Magnificent Bastard.

Annie Wu@anniewu.bsky.social

My algorithm has inexplicably been 51% Charlie’s Angels (2000), and I had to get some sketches out of my system, even though I haven’t seen the movie in decades.
