I do indeed. A bucket always seemed like pretty poor.protection from the end of the world, even if it was full of purified water and high protein MREs and whatever else. I suppose you could put it on your head and make like Ned Kelly
Planning for securing food in a nuclear winter? What a great wheeze. If your advice isn't any good, nobody can tell until there's a nuclear winter, and if there is a nuclear winter they won't exactly be able to ask for their money back because they'll be too busy dying of radiation sickness.
And Max Mosley definitely didn't share his father's views
Eurgh!
Musk seems like he's 1cm away from Jeffrey Epstein.
Update: another acronym.
I honestly don't know, and if anyone tries to find out he might delete his blog again. If he is on a Thiel sinecure or running his own business, he shouldn't be using the first person
I don't think Scott Alexander is entitled to get annoyed about excessive anti-racism programmes in the workplace given that he is well known to be very racist.
Hell, maybe he has done an above-average number of unconscious bias trainings and DEI workshops and racism book clubs, but it's because he keeps talking about how black people are mentally inferior at work and making him do training is cheaper than firing him.
California just had a small one the other day, so maybe Scott Alexander's shitty opinions cause earthquakes.
Noted sex pest Andrew Cuomo wants to run for Mayor in New York, and he might actually have a chance given the incumbent Democratic candidate is corruption magnet Eric Adams. Housing is a big issue in New York, so what's Cuomo's plan? Well, his plan is to use chat gpt to write his plan.
Angry New York Democrats were using the slogan DREAM meaning Don't Rank Eric Adams for Mayor. It was then amended to Don't Rank Eric or Andrew for Mayor, and amended again to Don't Rank Evil Andrew for Mayor.
Just close your eyes and imagine a mediaeval yokel who has accused her sister's girlfriend of being a witch so she can take over her turnip patch. No need for a new monitor
I think Ian Levine loves Doctor Who more than he loves disco. That's the only explanation for Doctor In Distress.
All I've learned from the most recent round of publicity is that herself has a new hat. It looks stupid
Infamous Dr Who "big name fan" Ian Levine is using generative AI to recreate lost episodes of the show. This got some mainstream press coverage and fans seem miffed.
We wanted to be able to hold a job without reciting DEI shibboleths or filling in multiple-choice exams about how white people cause earthquakes. Instead we got a thousand scientific studies cancelled because they used the string “trans-” in a sentence on transmembrane proteins.
If you were too racist to see the wood for the trees, that's your problem comrade! Well, actually it's everyone's problem now.
I think they're claiming that they are aware of the potential issues in how knowledge is produced (bias, unconscious or not)....but they think that they are uniquely humble and aware of all the issues, they certainly aren't influenced by ideology, and they aren't susceptible to the same logical fallacies as everyone else.
Colonizers fuck off 🇬🇱🇬🇱🇬🇱🇬🇱🇬🇱
Oh that tattoo is regrettable
I don't think whoever wrote this zine goes here, but they should!
It's the network state flag. Which I presume is based on the Swiss flag, because they are horny for the idea of a small, rich, well-connected country that profits from mass murder and exploitation.
