@JoshConstine @eddievasy Seeing everything in life through a ROI calculus is a fundamental moral judgment

@JoshConstine @realtw33t3r Show me the AI that helps me feel the feeling of speaking/reading/hearing Finnish/English/French/Swedish/German. Just because you don’t enjoy doing something doesn’t mean others don’t

@JamesSurowiecki @dieworkwear He’s trying for an American one, or at least euro-tinged American. It’s jarring but it’s definitely not intended as British

Why Musk will sacrifice democracy and maybe even jail, in one convenient chart @nytimes

[Faiz Siddiqui @faizsays]

NEW: Elon Musk was working unlawfully when he built the startup that made him a millionaire in the 1990s, according to interviews, documents and records obtained by The Washington Post. Board members found out and mobilized to fix it: "We don't want our founder being deported."🧵

Alongside its endorsement of Kamala Harris, the LA Times editorial board had also planned a multi-part series, ‘The Case Against Trump,’ before the whole thing was killed by Trump-loving owner, Patrick Soon-Shiong. https://t.co/eVW7Tqbiqf

@Elemjay1 @muttonshunter @Shadows_Regrets @Lyam131 Exactly, I was baffled too! It’s a great photo 🔥

@Shadows_Regrets @justifiableWTF @muttonshunter @Elemjay1 @Lyam131 Assuming they actually have daughters, imagine the body image hang ups, need to perform (often wildly oversexualised) femininity, eating disorders, fear of aging naturally etc this kind of behaviour generates. Defending women, indeed.

[Anna af Hällström @annaafhallstrom]

@muttonshunter @Shadows_Regrets @Elemjay1 @Lyam131 And just to be clear, “most of the women in my family of a certain age” look pretty damn good, happy and fun, actually ❤️

[Anna af Hällström @annaafhallstrom]

@muttonshunter @Shadows_Regrets @Elemjay1 @Lyam131 What a strange response. I defended a person who looks like most of the women in my family of a certain age. Do you think that attitude makes your daughter’s life easier, safer and/or happier? What are you telling her that she has to look like, in order for you to care about her?

[Anna af Hällström @annaafhallstrom]

@muttonshunter @Shadows_Regrets @Elemjay1 @Lyam131 Not sure what this is meant to insinuate, as I’m a woman and was a young girl. But seeing as you respond with irrelevant “edgy” memes instead of actually responding, we seem to have our answer anyway.

[Anna af Hällström @annaafhallstrom]

@muttonshunter @Shadows_Regrets @Elemjay1 @Lyam131 What has the higher actual risk factor, your phobic fantasy or your daughter being adversely impacted by seeing her parent start conflicts and attack people who don’t conform to arbitrary standards, in public? Do your feelings matter less than your daughter’s actual safety?

Se retweeter soi-même est sans doute le comble du narcissotwittisme mais là … c’est on ne peut plus approprié non?

@aspiringpeasant Wow. Blocked? Anyway, my answer: No, we should refrain from belittling other people’s experiences and making claims that what you think of as a solution will obviously be theirs.

[Anna af Hällström @annaafhallstrom]

@aspiringpeasant It’s about as roundly debunked as depression always having an external trigger. As in, it’s a complicated diagnosis with uniquely individual expression and therefore uniquely individual treatment needs
