I think if you share someone's work after having cut their name off of the piece you should be forced to pay for their groceries for a month.

a vote? the other MPs should have voted the transphobes out with their fists
It sucks that there even had to be a vote on this but given there were at least two transphobic Your Party MPs and given the Corbynite faction has been welcoming transphobes into the party bureaucracy members explicitly codifying support for trans liberation was probably necessary.

“can you make me a website/app, i have a great idea…”
What’s the worst question someone can ask after you tell them your profession? For linguists, it’s definitely “how many languages do you speak?”, but I’m curious what else is happening to the rest of y’all out there?!

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

had to block two recently-created accounts today claiming to be random middle-aged men, which were indiscriminately following hundreds of accounts with the only factor in common being that they belonged to women. not the first time I've had to either. something feels sus about this

So many people who imagine themselves to be Marxists have a deeply liberal and idealist understanding of transphobia. It's not a debate, it's a power struggle and if you aren't willing to clearly take trans people's side, you are a scab.
Nah, bullshit tbh. You don't deal with the presence of transphobes by debating them. That the guy arguing no felt comfortable doing so and wasn't immediately heckled into silence speaks to a fundamental fucking rot.

Once upon a time, we featured an image of Magdalen's kitten, Ozymandias, in our newsletter. We figured it might be a gentle contrast to our regular diet of planning and local politics.

Let me give some insight on this, as a producer in the dub industry who worked with major streamers, who's witnessed first-hand where this push for AI is coming from.
tl;dr: Only CEOs want this. Tell them how much you hate it. Be loud, email, call, @, post. You will kill this.

The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them
A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.
