Just to be clear, none of them are geniuses. They're privileged boys who were born into the right families at the right time

Online, there are heated discussions about whether or not it is safe to give Musk access to all your private data and/or finances.
His fan club of cellar dwellers thinks it's safe because, duh, “Musk has enough money and has no interest in stealing yours” - as if Musk hasn’t made all his money doing just that on a grand scale. Their opponents try in vain to remind them that no one, absolutely no one, should be given such incredible power. Unless, of course, you want to live in a feudal society ruled by an all-powerful overlord.
The discussion is doomed, of course, because what Musk fans and all those who worship tech bros get wrong is that they confuse having made a lot of money with innovative genius

If you have a Kindle and "bought" ebooks over the years, you have a week to download and back up your files before Amazon blocks you from doing that.
There are scripts (see the thread below) that will bulk-download.
It's a reminder that Amazon is a rapacious monopolist.
@karensmiley thank you for having me on your podcast Karen!

We were conditioned to say killing is wrong, while we were fed stories of heroic killers. So, we have all built an intricate internal framework of good and bad killings. Justified and unjustified taking of lives.
I wrote this a while ago but now that the orange buffoon and his spoiled rich kid sidekick are chomping at the bit to ruin the world I feel this is more true than ever

I love a good conspiracy theory as much as the next (wo)man, so I’d love to believe the Republicans stole the election. But I’m convinced they didn’t. The Democrats lost because, apart from the clownish performance of the Republican nominee, there isn’t that much difference between both parties anymore.

Was ihr hier seht ist der Server der Fediverse Foundation.
Ein ziemlich großes Teil, nicht?
In grün ist die Hardware eingezeichnet, die mit Strom läuft, den wir mit euren Spendengeldern bezahlen. In rot ist die Hardware eingezeichnet, die Strom frisst, den wir selbst bezahlen. Ziemlich genau die Hälfte unserer Jahresausgaben sind also bisher durch Spenden finanziert. Hilfst du uns bis Jahresende den grünen Bereich noch zu vergrößern?

"We all know the mid-life crisis men jokes. Dressing like a 30-year-old in clothes so tight they can’t sit down, drinking kale smoothies so fast they throw them back up again, going to the gym to pull a muscle, and buying a motorbike that gives them saddle sores that make them walk like John Wayne."
Is there a male menopause?
Interesting perspective on the by Carol.
Love the empathy and the humor.

If you need another reason to dislike what we're doing with AI, read about the recent AI CSAM case. This week, in a landmark case in the UK, Hugh Nelson was sentenced to 18 years in prison for creating sexual abuse material for strangers on the internet who sent him pictures of real children. Some of these pedophiles sent pictures of children they had contact with in real life.

When the time came that I needed to wear a swimsuit in public, I considered the options. I genuinely couldn’t figure out why I had ever worn a bikini. I studied photos of models in tiny tops and bottoms and remembered all the times I too wore such attire and suffered all of the requisite fears — Am I too bloated? Is there an unacceptable dimple of cellulite somewhere on my body? Is my bikini line behaving? Am I simply far too white?

Whenever a man tells you something is a woman’s job - if it’s not growing and birthing a new human - remember they’re trying to exploit you. Say no and remind them of all the examples of men prominently making money doing women’s jobs.

We’ve been given this one life and intend to enjoy it to the fullest now that we’ve been liberated from the burden of childbearing, childrearing, and child caring — caring for and rearing everyone around us #postmenopausalwomen
#DEI made sure that men now knew to preface #sexist jokes with “I know I’m not supposed to say this,” and sometimes I was no longer the only woman in the room. But now we're back to the roots #WomenInTech
