We are looking at the face and head of a white woman. The colours have been altered so her skin is aqua-blue, with some purple patches. The background is red and black. The colours shine like a translucent oil slick. Her face is duplicated six or seven times, growing more transparent each time, as each version of it moves diagonally downwards, to her right. I wonder how it feels?

Melbourne writer Lucia Nardo lived in this coffee palace building from the 1960s to the 1980s; more details of her life there are in the "consider the sauce" blog post about Stephen Street in Yarrraville.

On an inner-suburban street stands a red-brick building, one half of which has been covered in drab greyish paint. On the red-brick side, a sign near the roof reads "The Yarra Coffee Palace 1914". The upper storey has two modern metal windows, while the bottom has four, with two doors. Although the building was obviously once meant to provide access to the public from the street, the downstairs windows are covered to give privacy to people living inside, and the doors do not invite random visitors. Old faded painted advertisements for Capstan cigarettes and Temple Bar tobacco are on the side wall of the red-brick section.

This sort of thing is why "pseudo-AI" would be a great descriptor to send mainstream.

It gives the illusion of being conscious, but nothing actually conscious could make a mistake like this.

What to do 1. Contact your doctor immediately or go to the nearest emergency room. Explain that you had a colonoscopy and did not wake up from the anesthesia.

No that's canon.
There is an article on BBC News which contains an interview with George Lucas, including the following passage: ...But Lucas revealed that despite their monastic regime, Jedi were permitted to have sex. "Jedi Knights aren't celibate - the thing that is forbidden is attachments - and possessive relationships."

A woman sits in a lounge chair in front of a half-covered window. She wears a polo shirt and a beret with a pin of a cyclops skull being slithered around by a two-headed snake. She also wears a floppy scarf knotted around her throat, with two tails falling over her upper chest. She looks quizzically to her side, where a light leak effect in aqua, blue and red runs along the height of the picture. The rest of the photo is black and white.

A white woman sits in a big armchair, mostly obscured by her body. Her photo is in blackband white. We can see the head and shoulders, and upper chest. Her face is clean-shaven, and she wears a fluffy purple beret on the back of her head. A peak of hair, half white and half black, peeps out from under the front of the beret, at the front is a small badge of a double-headed snake slithering around a cyclops' skull. Around her neck a scarf is tied in a floppy bow. She wears a white polo shirt.

i've written about this before but the tl;dr this isn't true. "malakos" means "soft, effeminate," and it was slang for queer people, esp., trans women & gay bottoms. in the context of abusive exploitative relations like pederasty, it refers pretty exclusively to the child-victim, not the abuser

No survivor woke up today & decided, "I'm going to sabotage the sh*t out of myself today." Even our worst choices are attempts to protect ourselves.

Forgiving ourselves starts w/ acknowledging our own positive intent-- even when things go spectacularly wrong.

My Dinner With the ZX-20.
We look straight down at a heavily-edited photo of dinner. The photo has been edited to have the colour palette of a VIC-20 computer, and the resolution display of a ZX Spectrum. A crockery plate with brown markings holds some green spinach, on which are air-fried rissoles with tomato chutney on top. There are also two pieces of toast, which have thin slices of cheese on top. The cheese is brown, yellow and green.

We are standing right next to a huge stack of refrigerated shipping containers. The stack is at least six containers high, and over twenty long, just in our view. The white containers with black and yellow markings, and blue compressor units, form a wall we cannot even hope to see over.

We are standing next to a smoke stack that lets dirty air out of the new West Gate Tunnel. Its long front stretches past us, and rises into an oval-shaped top. It is covered in white, triangular panels and it looks like a giant sneaker that would be endorsed by a famous NBA basketballer in the USA.

The department's focus on behavioural change, via mutual obligation punishments, is criminally deranged.

“behavioural change can be achieved quickly” through “unanticipated life-threatening events (such as surviving electrocution after touching live electrical wires"

Fuck me dead
"Rationale for requiring three months of compliant behaviour Behavioural science research and literature does not specify a rigid threshold for behavioural change to be considered permanent. The circumstances that lead to behavioural change are a significant influence on whether that change will be permanent or temporary. Common examples where permanent behavioural change can be achieved quickly include unanticipated life-threatening events (such as surviving electrocution after touching live electrical wires) where there is a strong connection between cause and effect, versus equally life-threatening behaviours such as smoking or having poor diet or exercise regimes where behavioural change can take years – arguably because the effect of that poor behaviour only manifests after a longer period, if at all. Pragmatically, three months of compliant behaviour is recommended as being adequate to demonstrate the required change in behaviour required for a job seeker to return to the personal responsibility phase. The recommendation for three months of compliant behaviour is supported by the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet’s Behavioural Economics Team (BETA), who considered three months to be proximate enough to be perceived as an achievable goal that job seekers would strive for." "Changing job seekers’ behaviour A key goal of the proposed targeted job seeker compliance framework is to focus compliancerelated interventions on job seekers who have a pattern of persistent non-compliance, with a view to improving support where capability issues are uncovered and changing the behaviour of wilfully non-compliant job seekers so that they meet the agreed activities prescribed in their job plan. The introduction of a completely new compliance model, with associated educational material, is expected to drive a degree of underlying behavioural change in and of itself. Further changes in behaviour can reasonably be expected at various steps in the proposed targeted job seeker compliance framework, as the consequences of non-compliance loom and sanctions are imposed. The first of these step changes in behaviour is likely to result from the face-to-face capability interview with the provider and the subsequent DHS capability assessment, once three and four demerits have been accrued respectively. The impact of having a very personal discussion about errant behaviour and reminding the job seeker how close they are to receiving a significant financial sanction could reasonably be expected to result in a markedly more significant change in behaviour than introducing the new model achieved in the first place. Perhaps the largest changes in behaviour will flow from imposing financial penalties in the intensive compliance phase. There are two broadly comparable benchmarks that can be drawn on for comparison: Suspend until attend changes that were introduced in 2015 saw attendance rates at jobactive reconnection appointments rise from 65% to 88%, while the introduction of sanctions in the UK in 19962 , saw job seeker exit rates increase from 21% to 28%."

MeToo did not go far enough. People were saying "MeToo has gone too far" when it had barely just picked up momentum.

It was an attempt at reckoning with how institutionally misogynistic and sexually exploitative most institutions are and what women are constantly put through. So it was crushed.

This idea that #metoo was a temporary piece of insanity that happened because America was too woke...

Fuck you. It was a temporary moment in time when people decided, for the first time, that 20 women were finally equal to one man.
