Since a lot more people are running to my profile for argument material when I try to correct them:

1) Yes, I'm queer and have three pronouns. Your god made me like this, and I have learnt to love it. If YOU think he made a mistake with me, argue with him yourself.

After the world is done raving about 🇨🇩 DR. Congo’s grand arrival and fashion look for the World Cup, please also take the time to educate yourselves about our issues and amplify our voices. DR. Congo is currently undergoing a genocide and one of its worst Ebola outbreaks.

There you have it. Anthropic's CEO said it: The murder of more than 100 schoolgirls in Minab targeted by Anthropic's CLAUDE "is a use case that doesn't even violate our red lines." Time to rise up against these technofeudal war criminals.

Folks talk a big game about how they care about Orang Asli rights but they are never there when Orang Asli have their land stolen from them. PSM often has to fight with the Orang Asli alone.

It's interesting isn't it. They call PSM Indian but it's PSM that shows up

What people don't realise is while PH, Rafizi cytros and PH were attacking Indians, and Selangor was drafting this terrible guidelines, Johor UMNO MB and MIC worked together to solve multiple temples issues and did not label our temples Haram. Selangor will fall over this

I looked this up and it’s being done for courts to recognise assisted reproduction, surrogacy, and same-sex couples during disputes

So the backlash is another example of how transphobia gets used to justify pushing more restrictive & conservative values across the board

Compelling essay by sci-fi writer Ted Chiang on why LLMs are nowhere near consciousness, but why it serves the interests of LLM companies to constantly suggest that they might be.

I've pulled one quote below, but the whole article is worth reading.

men will see the inhumane exploitation of labourers (esp ethnic minorities) and think feminism is the problem

[bani haykal @fdbckfdfwd]

there’s a difference between a refugee and an asylum seeker and it is important to make this distinction

where a refugee is granted rights (i.e employment) in the country they’re in, asylum seekers are not yet legally recognised as refugees and are not granted said rights

Here's RM20 billion and probably will be gained with minimal to no taxes. Increase taxes for the rich before cutting education and healthcare

GARIS MASA HOSPITAL PETALING JAYA

Semalam, kerajaan Selangor mengumumkan bahawa KKM telah bersetuju dengan tapak yang dicadangkan untuk pembinaan hospital awam di PJ. Ini garis masa penuh isu hospital PJ, dari kenyataan @PSMPetalingJaya sehingga ke pengumuman menteri besar.

It's the same trick the world keep falling for at the hands of American robber barons: "Adopt this technology quickly and uncritically or else you will be left behind! Do it NOW!!!!"

Meanwhile your access to the technology being promoted is owned and controlled by them, such that once you adopt it and become dependent on it, they control you. That's how Nigerians banks stampeded themselves into all manner of "Digital Banking" without having the infrastructure to actually host it.

Now all your mobile banking apps are hosted on AWS and the US government can basically turn off most of Nigeria's electronic financial system if it ever decides to.

You keep giving away your sovereignty to gringos in the name of "adopting disruptive technology" and "staying up to date with trends" and it never occurs to you to wonder why the same people who will NEVER help you build a bridge or a hospital to improve your life are so eager to give you access to their "groundbreaking technology" - often for "free".

Whenever all of you wake up sha.

If you ever wake up.

The sequel to “Spider-Verse” is quite literally about a mother telling her mixed race son, who is leaving home and going to college, not to let anybody tell him that he doesn’t belong there. But he ends up pinned to ground by a (continuity) cop.

It’s really not subtle at all.
