Sure, but “no one’s perfect” in the way you use it just ends up dismissing and sidelining valid criticism.

But you can support these people without supporting their corrupt and violent government?

I stand for solidarity with all peoples, not their rulers.

You can’t just reply that to dismiss value criticism.

Doesn’t really work. It’s a lot of cognitive strain to resituate yourselt within it that my body doesn’t have.

(I’m kinda suprised you thought I never would have considered that though 😂, like it’s the most basic thing to try).

Yep, lemmy can be super ableist. It’s pretty bad.

I have a cognitive impairment so maybe that’s why but I can only watch shows with 10-30min length episodes. Longer is too much for my brain.

What a Legend

“ Creator Raphael Bob-Waksberg shared his excitement with Netflix about the upcoming series:

“It is legitimately a thrill and an honor to be back doing what I love most: drafting enthusiastic pull quotes for press releases to Hollywood trade publications. Who says you can’t go home again?!” “

Ohh interesting. Wondering if it’ll be anywhere near as good. Bojack Horseman will be hard to beat. Plus it was in the netflix golden era where netflix shows had way more creative freedoms than they do now.

“utopia” is a bit of a push. But yeah it’s definitely one of the better places to be a renter.

Badge of honour

 

On June 8th, protesters in Portland, OR set up camp on the driveway of the U.S Immigrants Customs Enforcement (ICE) office, located at 4310 S Macadam Ave. A call went out for others to join the demonstration, maintaining a 24/7 presence in order to stop all movement of vehicles to and from the building and interrupt “Enforcement and Removal” operations.

In our recently submitted grants we had to change “traumatic brain injury” to “concussive brain injury” and “male and female mice” to “male and non-male mice” because traumatic and female are now verboten words that can get our grants killed. It’s insanity.

 

SBS Insight Invisible Illness – Statement by 4 Studio Participants

Published: 23 June 2025​

Invisible, Misrepresented, and Harmed: ME/CFS Voices Demand Accountability from SBS​

A Joint Statement from Participants and Advocates in Response to the 20 May 2025 Episode of Insight​

This statement has been prepared by a group of individuals who participated in the recent SBS Insight episode on invisible illness. We are united in our deep concern over how the episode was produced, edited, and presented and the serious harm it caused by misrepresenting Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME/CFS) and its impact on the wider chronic illness community.​

We believe this broadcast represents a clear breach of SBS’s own Code of Practice. The program:​

  • Failed to uphold editorial integrity by platforming a participant with undisclosed commercial interests (Section 3.1: Editorial Independence and Integrity);
  • Presented medically inaccurate and misleading portrayals of ME/CFS (Section 3.2: Accuracy);
  • Minimised the diversity of lived experiences in favour of a single recovery narrative (Section 3.3: Diversity of Views and Perspectives);
  • Caused emotional harm to participants and viewers alike (Section 4.1: Harm and Offence);

As a public broadcaster, SBS has a duty to ensure ethical, accurate, and inclusive storytelling, especially when dealing with marginalised communities.​

This is a screenshot of a bluesky post from “The Tennessee Holler” posted 12 hours ago. The post reads: “If you’re zip-tying grandmas protesting losing health care maybe you’re not the good guys in the story?” The post includes a repost from Joe G posted 2 hours ago that says “Arresting people in wheelchairs protesting Medicaid cuts.” Below the text is a video thumbnail showing what appears to be law enforcement officers restraining an elderly person in a wheelchair in what looks like a government building or office setting.

The Post

 

The output of computer-vision research is overwhelmingly aimed towards monitoring humans. The potential ethical implications need more scrutiny.

In ZFC set theory (which most of modern maths is built upon). The natural numbers are defined as recursions of empty sets.

Ie. 0 = ∅ (the empty set)

1 = {∅} = {0}

2 = {∅, {∅}} etc…
