  • the hackernewses whining that linus is so unfair in enacting legal sanctions against the russian who works in development for bomb components are comedy gold
  • stalinists, like pigeons, are gonna shit over every place where they congregate. it is a pity that they have half the brain and quarter of the cuteness of the pigeons though.

  • …and that's one of the dudes personally invited to the site by its main moderator (see, the public invite trees can be useful sometimes).

  • US startup charging couples to ‘screen embryos for IQ’
  • ironic eugenics is genocidal the same way

  • US startup charging couples to ‘screen embryos for IQ’
  • there is no unobjectionable eugenics

  • The walled marketplace of ideas: a statistical critique of SSC book reviews
  • tbh i would not call richard hanania “an ex-white nationalist”; he's a white supremacist through and through and never stopped, also, freddie deboer is as far to the left as the late unlamented gregor strasser, and probably much less.

    and even with these caveats, it's a pretty damning piece, even if every other careful reader is probably aware that siskind engages in whitewashing scientific racism and white supremacy for fucking decades.

  • Stubsack: weekly thread for sneers not worth an entire post, week ending Sunday 20 October 2024

  • NaNoWriMo gets AI sponsor, says not writing your novel with AI is ‘classist and ableist’
  • whee, i missed that one completely. it seems that some over-eager hachyderm mod suspended @dgerard@awful.systems 's account. nothing that can be done on our side. (unfortunately i don't have a backchannel to the hachyderm mods).

  • if you wait this long to create me for this bad of a reason, you'd better expect some re-education

  • so the official reply is that mod got bored, and also was asked to re-open. which is, of course, fine.
