I would be extremely uncomfortable sharing a toilet with this person here who wants to look at my genitals
How would women know if there's a male person in their toilets? By using their eyes.

Any #skystorians on here familiar with the life and work of the communist poet and International Brigader Miles Tomalin? I'm trying to find out if he's the same Miles Tomalin that was writing documentary film scripts in the 1950s.

I often think that "hefting chalk-hulled flint" is a Ted Hughes line til I remember it's a Sylvia Plath line taking the piss out of Ted Hughes

... and that it is therefore absolutely vital that we reconfigure our understanding of what 'fascism' is in this content, rather than simply trying to speedrun the 1930s in our heads again and again
You ever just sit down and realize that the rise of 21st century fascism is capital's answer to climate change?

just as drunkenness explains but does not excuse dangerous driving, those who operate and profit from LLMs ought to answer for their own entirely avoidable jettisoning of responsibility. one neither writes nor steers, but subjects others to the words and the crash.
