Speaking of lifestyle things to address obesity and diabetes, has anyone asked Marty Makary and RFK where in the actual fuck they expect people to exercise in somewhere like OKC or North Denver? “Just walk around your neighborhood” is unsafe without sidewalks. Gyms cost money, and you have to get there, and many don’t have childcare while you’re there.

These wellness-focused fucks are so used to their hospital gyms and safe neighborhoods that they can’t imagine reality. Fuck ‘em.

Please annoy all the usual suspects and vote for Gary Lineker as best presenter in the National TV awards. You have to wade through a few categories to get to the correct bit, but don't let that put you off!

I’m officially done with takes on AI beginning “Ethical concerns aside…”.

No! Stop right there.

Ethical concerns front and center. First thing. Let’s get this out of the way and then see if thre is anything left worth talking about.

Ethics is the formalisation of how we are treating one another as human beings and how we relate to the world around us.

It is *impossible* to put ethics aside.

What you mean is “I don’t want to apologise for my greed and selfishness.”

Say that first.

Please donate to your local food bank if you can.

Please make sure people you know have enough to eat.

It's one of many quiet, non-valorized, invisible ways you can literally save lives.

Under Pete “whiskey dick” Hegseth’s leadership, the US Marine Corps changed their grooming standards in a way that will result in expulsion of mainly black Marines. Many black men have an inflammatory response to close shaving, causing painful scarring. The military knows this, and decades ago issued waivers allowing neatly kept beards for service members in this situation. Now the Marines are doing away with it. This hurts readiness, is overtly racist, and is fucking stupid.

If your corporation's business model relies on lawbreaking, your corporation has no legal legitimacy.

We don't let narcotic cartels and trafficking rings list themselves on the stock exchange: why should OpenAI or Facebook be any different?

Britain's strictest headteacher claims transgender children more likely to be 'white' and 'privileged' - The Standard

apple.news/AmyyKxp_gTDaE-083mX. She certainly has strong opinions. She’s wrong of course, but when did that ever stop a self serving gobshite?

maybe a bit early in the morning for this much swearing. Fair warning. 

@HarriettMB @sundogplanets we know how to fix Climate Change without all these unproven technologies.

But that would mean Rich Men would be a little less rich so wild super-science ideas that appeal to rich idiots is the way we're going!

Don't anybody ask the Scientists if this shit will work, get some influencer on Twitter to say it's fine instead!

I remembered the Black Sabbath song Snowblind and decided to listen to all of Volume 4 because why not.

I had forgotten what a banger it is.

I see Pete and other Democratic "resistance leaders" talking about "standing up to the MAGAs, about "making our opposition clear"

We are not going to talk the MAGA dogs off the meat wagon. It will require violence. Until the resistance realizes this, we are just slipping further into darkness.

abortion, persecution 

A few days ago I posted about the case of Nicola Packer accused, tried but found not guilty of having an illegal abortion....

If you thought the details of that post was horrific, the further details of her treatment revealed in this interview are both heartbreaking & disgraceful - a women abused by legal process.

Misogyny has no place in the legal system but we can see all too well that its structurally embedded in the law!

Stupid? Evil? The "immigration" thing.

What do reform voters want? They *pretend* they want numbers to go down. Now, this is already a false debate, shifting a debate about rights/benefits/costs to reducing people to numbers.

But it's also a lie. Because what they want is US-style performative cruelty. Which is impossible under the rule of law.

And so, "responding to voter concerns on immigration" is a sure vote loser. --
