5-7 books to something something about me? Good Lord. Um...

Okay, "A Wrinkle in Time", that's like a free space.

Thaddeus Golas, "A Lazy Man's Guide To Enlightenment".

Robinson, "A Short, Sharp Shock".

Me, "All Reality" (docs.google.com/document/d/1KH)

Ram Dass, "Be Here Now"

I don't know! Maybe Morick (ed) "Challenges to Empiricism".

Ooh how about Abbott's "Flatland"?

"Principia Discordia" of course.

Darn, that's eight already, and I haven't listed "The Wind in the Willows" yet, which should probably have been first.

And lots more!!

You know what makes just as much sense as designating "antifa" a major terrorist organization?

Glory holes.

Glory holes are obviously a major terrorist organization.

They are precisely just as organized as antifa. They're all over the USA. In shadowy underground locations.

Every one of them has the same nefarious purpose. Committed to a common goal: anonymous lust!

Who knows who funds those things? It should be thoroughly investigated!

Pinup nudity link, racial bias, AI moderation 

If anybody's looking for an interesting example of algorithmic bias in automated moderation and censorship, I think I've spotted one.

Black woman from a 1966 pinup magazine rejected from a Reddit group for nudes: "Please do not post AI generated images."

My 9 year old and his classmates have started using “that’s AI” to mean “I don’t believe you.”

Me: we’re having dinosaur meat for dinner

Kiddo: that’s AI

The Texas senator blocked a bill that would have prevented data brokers from collecting and selling personal data on anyone in the United States, and not just federal lawmakers and government officials.

ICYMI: I wrote about why it's impossible to compromise with conservatives on trans issues. They've already rejected the common sense compromise positions and lie about us anyway.

1973: US Govt helps install Chilean dictator Pinochet

1987: Luis Leon survives torture at hands of Pinochet, escapes to USA, receives asylum

2025: ICE disappears Leon (now 82), lies to family that he's dead, he's actually in a Guatemalan hospital

He did everything right and legal, and ICE disappears him anyway. This is fascism through and through and anyone who supports this is complicit.
