welcome new followers. you've all made a terrible mistake

[J.R.R. TolKee @Jeremyakee]

I was born with a rare disorder. In the year of my birth only two other children were born with it anywhere on earth. Because of this, the first 15 years of my life were spent in doctors offices and operating rooms.

People like Ms. Siddiqui would look at my medical history and say that it would have been better "for me" that I never existed for all the pain and challenge that I - and my family, let's be clear - had to go through.

And yet, I do exist - a fact I am rather happy about. Life has been far from perfect but it has been a life, and where there is life there is hope.

Ms. Siddiqui advocates for death and nihilism under the guise of compassion. These are lies. At the heart of this is a darkness that few can truly comprehend. It is a thanatos, a death impulse.

Pray for Ms. Siddiqui, and for all the unborn souls whom she and those of her ilk will never allow to know life.

Only a “paradox” when you ignore the human toll, the environmental toll, and the fact that the technology manifestly doesn’t do what it’s marketed as doing.

Exactly. I make looking over others’ shoulders and copying their exam answers part of every class so that doing so is not cheating.

The Leadbeater bill is on a knife-edge; but if it passes, you can expect in 10-15 years to hear its backers saying, “Of course, in retrospect…” and “Hindsight is 20/20” and “Had we known then what we know now…”

we're honestly so cooked. how is this not the headline and the only thing that matters. and instead everyone is desperate to pretend they're modern and forward thinking by insisting you use AI in every assignment

Rob Rinder asks Steve Reed how much would it cost to renationalise the water industry? He says £100bn. Rinder points out this figure came from the water companies

It wouldn't cost anything if we fined the companies into bankruptcy & then took them over. Why isn't Lab doing that?
