If you're considering following me, bear in mind that I'm a social butterfly, both in research (as a bioinformatician), and on social media. If there's news I want to spread, I'll repost a woman's report of it (if possible). "Like" means I like something, and have read it.

If you want to know where all the money is, it's not the poor and those deliberately throw out of work and onto benefits that have got it. It's the fkn rich.
Same when the rich bleat about the share of tax they pay. It's because they've got all the fkn money. And still no wealth or CGT.

Nothing winds me up more than Luxon and assorted other suits saying we need to be wealthier before we can afford doctors, nurses, water we can swim in etc. Meanwhile wealthier kiwi households have stacked up huge piles of savings (cash, shares, equity etc). The economy works for the few. [🧵 1/n]

If you have a LARGE follower count, pls know that Scott Horton is a chronic thief of posts. He also gets things very wrong and won't take posts down. No matter how nicely you ask.
Please unfollow him and do not repost.
Although he steals everything, Horton was recently verified by Bluesky.

people who use AI and are disingenuous about it really can't maintain that lie over several weeks or months. if i look at their posting history or their github profile, they really can't go that deep to fabricate a background that totally contradicts their values and stuff

This woman is a hero.
Mark Tramo gave Epstein “tips” to get babies to suck harder
She stood outside his building with a sign that had a quote from the email
She was all alone
One woman & one voice
She screamed as loud as she could. She made sure they heard her
Tramo’s contract won’t be renewed

The Epstein files contain emails with doctors advising how to get babies to “suck harder”.
Doctors providing abortions to underage girls.
Doctors treating STIs and ectopic pregnancies in children.
None of them have lost their licenses. They enabled a pedophile & they’re still treating patients.

Okay, so I’d watch this film in cartoon sketch version
My favorite artifact in the "you don't need AI to do art" discourse is, of course, screenwriter Dan O'Bannon's sketch of the facehugger to explain it to Giger.

One thing about moving to a new, bigger house is getting home from a trip and realizing 1) the dogs pooped somewhere and 2) you have no idea where because there's always *the spot* but you don't know where the dogs have decided that is yet.

Something you may have missed: the EU's recent trade agreements with India, Indonesia, and Mercosur all reference Paris Agreement implementation.
The EU said at the time that the EU-NZ FTA was a template for their new approach to trade, and they weren't kidding.

It's always rubbed me the wrong way a bit when I've heard other artists say that messy loose drawings are more authentic than polished ones. I think polished art is still authentic, it's just saying something different. My polished art authentically conveys my struggle to be good LOL

the threat isn't that AI will replace you — it's that your boss gets to use "AI could do this" as leverage to pay you less, demand more, and kill your negotiating power. the technology is just the excuse for what they already wanted to do.

The main conceit of "AI" (namely chatbots and "agents") are the twin promises of control and productivity.
The mechanism of control is that you can be replaced more effectively by a machine, or someone who wields the machine more adroitly than you.

The bosses are forcing their employees to use it. Politicians are competing to shovel money & infrastructure at it. The billionaires who control media are constantly lecturing & hectoring people to accept it & use it more.
They don't care it's losing money. They don't care people hate it.

RESULT: Democrat Chasity Martinez wins a special election for a legislative seat in Louisiana, 62% to 38%.
This was a district that Trump carried by 13% last year, so a big overperformance by Dems, but the seat was already Dem-held.
