Hey y'all, call me Ace or EconEnby. I'm a neurodevelopmentally disabled anarchafeminist researching eugenics, scientific racism, and the intersection of anarchism and disability activism. I'm AuDHD and have OCD and fatigue of some kind. I might also post about books and random special interests.

Radicals are, contrary to what one might have been told, not the spoilers who otherwise stop movements from working. Quite the opposite.

So the next time you hear something bizarre on this front ("they believe the only valid activism is mortaring a wal-mart!") consider if you're just being played.

So, it's worth remembering *a lot* of just outright false bs about radicals spreads during times like this.

Case in point: I have seen far, far more condemnations of leftists and anarchists supposedly discouraging people from the rallies yesterday than I have any radicals actually doing so...

Yeah, while I think there are valid criticisms to be had of tactics, the mere fact that there hasn't been immediate results is not an indication that it was a failure.

I feel like people are getting more and more hostile and cruel online and frankly it’s depressing trying to persue a career on here in that environment.

Like I am getting dozens of death threats and cruel comments a day for nothing. Sharing any opinion gets you mocked.

i understand missing rainbow capitalism but part of the entire critique was that corporate interests would abandon LGBT advocacy as soon as doing so became politically and economically risky and that critique has been pretty categorically proven right

Not for nothing but also love it when the “you should just not go out in public” people then yell at you for spending your time advocating online. Okay. Where should I go then? Not out. Not online. Dead? Would dead be okay?

People focus on LLMs generating false statements about general factual information or being inaccurate when they collate/summarize data but probably the funniest tendency is just lying to the user about their actual affordances or capabilities

This person is paying OpenAI two hundred dollars a month to have a chatbot gaslight them about making an excel spreadsheet

Cannot generate simple excel files on pro version
Question
So I have used ChatGPT pro for a while now and recently I have been facing an issue while trying to collate data from pdfs and put it in an excel sheet where in my chat it keeps asking me questions when it finally gets down to generating an excel sheet it never gives me the me the link to download the file.
After multiple attempts when it does give me a lin k to download the excel file I rec an error which says file not found. Starting to grow frustrated with this now.
Look forward to any suggestions to tackle this #problem

I find it interesting that everybody assumes every woman over the age of about 30 they see a picture of on a protest is a liberal winemom or whatever.

I did not think when I wrote this in 2020 it would remain so relevant. I get no kickback from resharing my work. I share it because it explains shit

As we go into No Kings weekend (and with the influx of new followers from x) seems like a good time to resurface this.

It was written in 2020 then focused on George Floyd about the media's antagonistic relationship to protest

It’s time to change the way the media reports on protests. Here are some ideas.

"People kept sharing these videos that were coming up and it was unambiguous what was going on. We weren't looking at a stream of videos of violence erupting or clashes breaking out. We were looking a...

I kind of hate how I have had to gain a tough skin while researching the far-right. I'm sure you've seen far worse than me, but I have definitely seen my share of nasty shit. It's a bit like poison to read; small doses I can handle, but I have to take breaks.
