This site has become unusable, unsafe and unnecessary for any sane person. I shall not be posting here anymore.

Dear BBC. Do better.

It's all a fucking game to these pricks. They don't actually care about helping people or making society better.

They have no empathy or sense of humanity. They are sociopaths who don't care who gets harmed in their malformed ideological pursuits.

They just want to 'win'.

[Dr Steven Buckley @StevenJCBuckley]

Can't be arsed to post it all here as this site is fucking dreadful.

Essentially will only be coming on here now to promote by posts on other sites and when I want to get needlessly enraged.

Had Portugal's largest national newspaper ask me for my views about Musk, Meta and the dark road social media and America is heading down.

It's paywalled but I've screenshotted my quotes which you can view on my BlueSky

@Bencjacobs I'm amazed it's not more.

@FrankieWard I love the comments pointing out those words only crop up on the pirated version that’s online at the moment!

(Rings true given he tweeted as “currently” watching it this late at night and I doubt many cinemas open this late at this time of year)

Tell me you’re an uninformed moron without telling me you’re an uninformed moron.

Even if you think X is the best source for news (it isn’t) limiting yourself to a single source is just plain dumb.

I expect nothing less from an Elon simp.

[Tesla Owners Silicon Valley @teslaownersSV]

Do you still trust legacy media?

I only trust 𝕏. I’ve deleted all the news apps.

Trust me you’ll be happy you did.

I hope Musk and all the simps replying to his post have a terrible year filled with anxiety, misery and misfortune.

Merry Christmas and may you have a wonderful New Year! 🎁🎄🎅

Soulless shitty slop.

If you think this looks good then I only have pity for you.

MOVIES MADE BY AI? WE’RE BASICALLY THERE NOW

Every shot in The Heist was created with Google Veo 2’s text-to-video AI.

No cameras. No sets. Just words turned into film.

Jason Zada handled the sound, editing, and music, but the visuals? Pure AI.

We’re on the brink of AI-made movies becoming the norm.

Think about it—storyboards to screen without ever picking up a camera.

Hollywood, you nervous yet?

@FrankieWard I saw one clip and was like ‘wow, production is pretty impressive. Everything else I totally hate’

As someone who did their PhD partly on TYT it's super disappointing to see their trajectory and many of the actions they have taken.

TYT circa 2014 is very different to TYT in 2024.

Just a gentle reminder that it's the right wing and likes of Reform, Farage et al, that want to scrap the BBC and deny people the likes of #StrictlyComeDancing #Strictly

Ergo, Van Jones is now fringe.

@daveatherton @X I'd also note that you are funded by the right-wing Hungarian Government... Hardly someone I'd want to be associated with.

Interesting report. I’m not surprised.

[The Centre for Media Monitoring (CfMM) @cfmmuk]

1/🧵 NEW REPORT: GB News seems to hate Islam and Muslims. Would you agree?

Our 2-year analysis - published today - shows our findings & reveals an obsessive focus on Muslims unlike any other UK broadcaster.

Full report here:

[Dr Steven Buckley @StevenJCBuckley]

@daveatherton @X So what about the report is untrue?

Which of the statistics regarding the amount of coverage do you disagree with?

Tell me you’re an incel without telling me you’re an incel….

But seriously, what the fuck possesses people to post like this?

[Mid Castizas @castiza]

Observe the subtle differences between a mestiza (left) and a castiza (right).

First, note the darker complexion and hair of the mestiza, a result of the darker pigmentation common among Amerindians.

You’ll also note a more robust frame. This is an archaic feature due to the presence of higher Neanderthal-like Denisovan admixture present among Siberian and North American peoples.

The castiza has longer limbs and is slenderer, with a narrow waist. Her Southern European ancestors descend predominantly from the Neolithic Farmers of Early Europe, who came from the Middle East, where heat dissipation in a hot climate was facilitated by a higher ratio of surface area to body mass.

Likewise, being 50% descended from Siberian migrants who experienced a bottleneck 12,000 years ago as they crossed subarctic Beringia and the receding Late Pleistocene glaciers, the mestiza has a larger trunk and stockier limbs to reduce the surface area and heat dissipation, for survival in a cold climate.

You can see the larger teeth of the mestiza, another sign of robustness and that her Amerind ancestors ate a harder, less processed diet. The castiza, having a majority of ancestors who lived in European civilization thousands of years more advanced than the Stone Age primitives of the Americas.

Psychological differences exist as well. You can see increased impulsivity in the mestiza as she invents new moves and brings herself closer to the camera. She also follows less of a structured dance. This is a result of lesser planning capabilities primarily due to lower IQ, as selection for intelligence was not as intense in North America as it was in Southern Europe.

The mestiza is obese, whereas the castiza is merely overweight. A higher proportion of Amerindian genetics is associated with risk for developing metabolic syndrome, obesity, insulin resistance, and diabetes. The genetic factors involved are not clear, but it may be due to a longer history of adaptation to the carbohydrate heavy diet of agriculture. However, maize-based agriculture was widely practiced in the Americas prior to the Columbian event.

I hope you have enjoyed this analysis and are able to see these differences in women I post in the future, so that people no longer make inaccurate claims that the women I am posting are not castiza or mestiza.
