LGBTQ+ “Activist” Calls for More Government Surveillance and Censorship of the LGBTQ+ Community
The LGBTQ+ community has frequently been the target of government censorship. For one "activist", apparently they need more of that.
`They say, 'no, they can't do that, you are good immigrants'. But I think there is no such thing as 'good immigrants'. We are all immigrants.` -- from https://www.thelocal.se/20250825/we-are-devastated-volvo-engineers-family-forced-out-of-sweden-by-teen-deportation-law #law #immigration #citizenship #EU #sweden #sverige #stupidity

British Gas: “Just a quick reminder - we'd love to know more about your recent experience of receiving a bill.”
What on earth do they expect me to say?
“I LOVED GETTING A BILL!”
“I AM STOKED TO SEE HOW MUCH I PAY FOR ENERGY!”
Whoever thought this was a good idea needs their head felt. Sadly they have probably been promoted.
And yes, the US Congress, with many #Democrats voting in favor, continues to send weapons to Israel. Why?
“If they recycle the Israeli bombs that didn’t explode there is an endless supply of explosives, and the genocide provides an infinite recruiting pool for new members.”
"American intelligence estimates suggest Hamas has recruited 15,000 operatives during the war, about twice as many as Israel has killed."
Nothing like a policy that generates more people supporting violence - especially since both the impacts and memories of wrongs can last for generations

“"The big #trouble with #dumb bastards is that they are too dumb to believe there is such a thing as being #smart." — Kurt Vonnegut”
“In his open letter to the ladies and gentlemen of 2088 [U.S. writer Kurt Vonnegut] offered this advice.
Start listening to nature and stop polluting Earth. Teach your kids how "to inhabit a small planet without helping to kill it." And "stop thinking science can fix anything if you give it a trillion dollars"“

Hanlon's razor, Mk 2:
Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by AI

Melanoma (and her family) are barely legal in the US as it is (coming in on false pretences and later, dubiously sponsored visas) so threatening a lawsuit against those who report she and Agent Orange met thru a mutual connection with Jeff seems both foolhardy (why highlight a matter few knew about - throwing herself under bus) and yet, self-serving ('Hey - look at me!’).
Seems she’s learned a lot from Donna.

Starmer’s determination to cling on to the coat tails of the US (I am being restrained here) might have a few dividends.

Another demonstration that we MUST differentiate between the ability to reproduce some kind of data and the ability to perform abstract reasoning.
So-called “artificial intelligence” tools are just stochastic parrots.
Beware the marketing hype.

"Not just the true-believer Nazis but also the complacent Christians of Germany (95% of Germany during WWII was Christian) who found a way to reject their own beliefs to allow this malignancy to grow. The worldwide death toll of WWII was 70-85 million, all of which could have been avoided if the German people had simply stood up against stupidity. Not doing so, despite knowing the inevitable outcome, makes them just as stupid."
Continued thread
"Bonhoeffer was a German Lutheran pastor and influential Christian theologian whose anti-Nazi stance got him arrested by the Gestapo in 1943 and imprisoned in a concentration camp. He was hanged by the Germans on April 9, 1945, a month before Germany surrendered. Even knowing they had lost the war, they still wanted to kill their critics.
In the end, his quote was prophetic. He was murdered by stupid people."
Continued thread
"'For that reason, greater caution is called for when dealing with a stupid person than with a malicious one. Never again will we try to persuade the stupid person with reasons, for it is senseless and dangerous.'
This may be the longest quote I’ve ever posted (and even then I cut some), yet Bonhoeffer makes such an articulate and timely statement that I wanted to include as much as possible."
Continued thread
"in such moments, the stupid person even becomes critical—and when facts are irrefutable, they are just pushed aside as inconsequential, as incidental. In all this the stupid person, in contrast to the malicious one, is utterly self-satisfied and, being easily irritated, becomes dangerous by going on the attack."
"Stupidity is a more dangerous enemy of the good than malice. One may protest against evil; it can be exposed and, if need be, prevented by use of force…Against stupidity we are defenseless. Neither protests nor the use of force accomplish anything here; reasons fall on deaf ears; facts that contradict one’s prejudgment simply need not be believed—"

Mallen Baker looks at the question "Is Trump Bringing In The New Dark Ages?"
The issue is the rejection of science towards faith/cult based decision making where objective truth is replaced with belief. Anything providing contradictory information is obviously woke/wrong and must be shut down.
We are not immune in the UK either - if Reform get any real power you can say goodbye to renewables.
He is a really good listen
