We’re not modern apes, but we are apes, in the same way that birds are dinosaurs

According to AOC she wanted to do a senate run and Trump wouldn’t let her, hence the scorched Earth

WRT 3 don’t forget the US flag being lowered into shot on a crane as the photographers were being ushered in. I’m also not a conspiracy theorist, but either a lot of people did a lot of thinking really quickly, or there’s something fishy about it all.

It normally goes in waves. Younger generations don’t want to do what their parents do. Parents drink? Kids will drink less or not drink at all. But when the next generation comes round, the kids are likely to drink because their parents don’t.

The mainstreaming of anti-trans rhetoric and representation.

We’re far from perfect when it comes to representation & discourse now when it comes to women, gay people, and people who aren’t white, but look back 30-50 years and you can see how far we’ve come.

As an example, in Kindergarten Cop there’s a scene where a worried mother comes to see Arnie. She found some dolls in her boys room and she’s worried he’s going to end up like his gay father. Arnie laughs and reassures her that it’s okay. He uses the dolls to get close to girls so that he can look up their skirts. She’s relieved. Arnie says he’ll “keep an eye on him, just in case”.

Imagine that scene in a modern kids film. Unthinkable, right?

I think we’re kind of at that stage WRT trans people ATM. Not so much in fiction, but in public debate. I think ina few decades the slurs used against trans people by prominent figures, and the indulging of the idea that whether trans people have a right to exist is even a debate that needs to be had will be seen in the same way a modern audience would view that Kindergarten Cop scene.

I once asked why anybody would want a smart fridge. Most people didn’t seem to know. The most common answer was that it could act as a focal point for a busy family for keeping track of things like appointments.

So, like a blackboard/whiteboard, cork board, or even a normal fridge, some paper, and magnets.

I’m no Luddite. I’ve got smart lamps so i can change the lighting in my living room & bedroom without getting up. And I’m looking into heating so i can have my heating come on when i leave work, rather than at a specific time. That saves effort and money.

But i just see no reason whatsoever for anybody to have a smart fridge.

More significantly, he’s one of the key instigators and powers behind the current us government. Explicitly wants to create a technocratic dictatorship.

Hatsune Miku has been putting on live performances for decades. There’s no reason at all why an AI-generated musical act couldn’t too.

Here’s the thing - the same thing that Microsoft is being roasted for saying they’re going to implement is the thing that Apple are being roasted for not having implemented yet. The difference is -rightly or wrongly- people trust Apple in a way that they simply don’t Microsoft.

I’m pretty sure he could grope children on live tv and his base would still find a way around it.

I mean, there’s that photo of a 13 year-old Ivanka sitting on his lap at a gig.

I don’t think this is accurate. I think they’re brought in by the dinosaurs.

That’s what the anti-porn laws are for. Literally. That’s in Project 2025. Define anything LGBTQ as porn, outlaw porn, hey presto, being gay is illegal.

Seriously, who had Taylor-Green & Boebert down as being the Republicans to do the right thing here?

I’ll buy the VR headset if, as well as streaming games, you can also play video/mirror your desktop. I know that’s not the market they’re going for, but it seems to me that those are the main use-cases of VR headsets aside from gaming and to my non-tech way of thinking it doesn’t seem harder than streaming a game.

The law used to arrest protesters, section 13 of Britain’s Terrorism Act 2000, makes it a crime to wear, carry or display an object in circumstances that “arouse reasonable suspicion” that someone is a member or supporter of a proscribed organization, and can be punished with up to six months in prison.

This is bot highlighted enough. What’s the crime? Is it bring a member of a terrorist organisation? No. Is it being a supporter of a terrorist organisation? No. It is a crime to be suspected of being a supporter of a terrorist organisation.

That’s what’s illegal. Having a police officer look at you and think you might be up to something. Whether or not you actually are is irrelevant. Someone else’s suspicion of you means that you have committed a crime. A crime which could see you spend 6 months in prison.

Leaving everything else aside, I’m sure there’s no way this could lead to discrimination on the basis of race or religion.

This is something the government should be repealing, not applying to grannies holding signs.

There’s a Korean film called A Tale Of Two Sisters. In the commentary, the director says that the actor playing the younger sister had three modes: “eat, sleep, and run”

You’re right, I’m an idiot

Tall people were born tall.

The tallest baby ever born was 28 inches tall. That’s 2’4”.

I’m not tall, but I’m taller than that.

I put it to you that babies are born short and grow over time.
