At the weekend, a group of trans women protested topless at the Scottish Parliament about the recent Supreme Court ruling that the Equality Act defines women as "biological women". The police couldn't arrest them, because to arrest them for showing their breasts would be to define them as women (it's not illegal for men to be topless). And, of course, the right-wing press that reported on it censored their breasts, thereby making their point for them.

haven't seen anyone upload the can't close the gate freestyle yet :acab:

are there still mall cops that remember heelys and still hold them in contempt?

eye contact, non-vegan food mention 

Thank you for to playing my game! :mario_flop:

not-vegan food, :garfield: 

I think we should stream this :garfield:

hello yes, I have made the long journey to the new website, could you please help me down from my litter and prepare my posting throne? I will be expecting a captive audience of 40,000 shortly. chop chop.

I was looking at the Hebrew Wikipedia page for the Roswell Incident and found this beautiful computer graphics abstract representation of the "crash site".

fascist scifi futurism 

If you want to understand contemporary fascist futurism you must first understand StarGate. Because 90% of the time, it is just a random episode or idea from the Stargate franchise. All the space force stuff, etc, are just taking ideas outright from Stargate. There is even a program called "Stargate" now. This will be the aesthetic of Reagan Star Wars 2.

AI hype thoughts 

Companies looking to replacing employees with agentic AI slop, just outright refusing to hire, are more likely to seek even less scrupulous methods of getting their work done when the techno-futurist promise falls flat. Like kids being made to scab in long haul trucking that couldn't be automated, something sleazier will come along. Will mean different things for different jobs, but we need some opposition ready for that eventuality.

:ai: "AI" , Microsoft Dotnet, dogfooding humilation 

Just when you start to think Microsoft's tech debt problem couldn't possibly get any worse: github.com/dotnet/runtime/pull

Maybe corporate is looking for agentic AI :ai: to save them from scabs, kind of like in other industries. This is just a test, but the public AI dog-fooding burnout just shows how far the hype is from reality. The question remains: how long is tech capital willing to strike against tech workers, with hopes of an 'AI bailout'? Will the money run out first, or will hype hubris strike first?

Anyways, Stephen Toub is hilarious. All his GitHub activity is *like this* , just herding copilot around like a matador in a china shop. Enjoy this hilarious quip from the GitHub thread.
