I may be quiet for a while as I'm in the process of changing instance

@leahmcelrath.bsky.social Maybe we should stop using the label "Antifa"

There are people who don't know what "Antifa" is, they think it's just another mob with a weird name causing problems

I had to explain Antifa to my sister, she had no idea what it meant

Call it what it is, "Anti Fascist"

Not "Antifa", spell it out, shove it in people's faces, make them understand what it means

No one can misunderstand what "Anti Fascist" means

And they know what those who oppose an "Anti Fascist" are

Trump issues an executive order to force US hospitals to replace Doctors with evangelical pastors who will lay their hands on the sick** compelling the illness to leave their bodies & return to Satan

Health insurance will pay the pastor directly, you will however have to take out a mortgage to handle the copay

If the treatment doesn't work it will be repeated as many times as it takes for your assets to hit empty

**Providing it's nothing contagious

And this got less funny the more I wrote 😢

@HarriettMB The jigsaw has arrived, looks really good, Mrs SaC is very happy & sends thanks too, are you sure you're ok with the postage ?

UK #Trans people

I had a meds review the other day

My Dr seemed interested in when I last saw my psychiatrist & if it was more than 5 years ago, it was around 30

I thought nothing of it at the time but it's starting to worry me

AFAIK there's no requirement to continue seeing a psychiatrist post op, as long as you're OK they're OK

I did have a few appointments after my op, in the last one he asked me why I was still going to see him which is where I found I didn't need to

Any thoughts ?

Men fear women will laugh at them

Women fear men will kill them

Trans women fear both men & women will kill them

Given #ProtonMail has allied itself to fascism

Does anyone know if #Thunderbird still supports #OpenPGP ?

And if so is it worth using ?

Is it difficult to set up etc... ?

#Petition #OFWAT #Water

On 19th December, OFWAT, under pressure from water profiteers, is expected to announce its decision on whether to approve the largest water bill increase in the history of five year reviews - an average 40% hike, with some areas facing shocking rises of 84%

When they deliver on the infrastructure improvements THAT WE'VE ALREADY PAID FOR OVER THE LAST 30+ YEARS

Then we can discuss price rises

The answer will still be no, but we can discuss it

@id1om Every word of that LLM output came from a human creator

It's highly likely every word came from a different creator

None of whom get any reward for their words being stolen, thrown into a blender & output as a statistically probable mashup based on your query & the words it's already output

Nowhere in that process is any intelligence or check for accuracy

Using an LLM steals content from human creators & rewards those who own the LLM for the theft

Don't use LLM's

Mastodon hive mind your assistance is requested please

Any recommendations for a Blu-ray player that'll play DVD's, some don't apparently

It isn't ever going to be connected to the internet so it doesn't need to be smart, don't mind if it is smart as long as it still works air gapped & doesn't complain

And it needs to be available in the UK

Thanks 💋

@transworld ECT in my opinion is like taking a fabulous, jeweled, Fabergé clock with a billion tiny fragile parts

Then throwing it repeatedly, at the wall until it tells the time instead of just winding & setting it

It's an act of extreme violence

Which imo, if it works, has more to do with the fear of repeating the procedure than any actual therapeutic benefit

There is no theory or science behind it, beyond "if the clock isn't working, throw it at the wall again"

OK Enough!

I get some people don't like Biden

But the choice is Democracy or Fascism & not making a choice is also Fascism

That's it, that's your choice, I'm not interested in debating this, I won't be reading any replies

So I don't care who you are or if I follow you, every post I see from now on where Biden gets dissed & I don't see an equal amount of dissing Trump in your timeline will get you blocked

Go promote Fascism somewhere else

Or you can save me the trouble & just block me now

@mayaisloading I'm 66, no idea what that makes me, probably a boomer, they seem to get the blame for everything

I've tried very hard to make the world a better place, but there were too many bastards in the way

I still try, but fuck I am tired & there are still too many bastards

Sorry, I failed

I hope you can do better than me

A question for Labour politicians

If trans women are to be subject to a law which bans them from female only spaces, so that women can be protected from them

There must be an incident practically every other day where a trans woman assaults a cis woman in a female only space to justify the legislation required

It'd be front page of the Mail every other day

So where are these incidents ?

I keep hearing there's an issue but no one shows any evidence

Maybe I should ask my Labour candidate
