I’ve noticed that many people’s beef with AI writing is that it is inaccurate, or takes longer to check than writing it from scratch yourself.
Why don’t people care that their voice is silenced?
Human communication is more than simply coherency or accuracy. It carries the singular voice of the person who uses language too. The way we use language is like a fingerprint. It carries the way we entered into language, and the life we have lived within it.
Why is this not the greater loss?
Every major news outlet is carrying two stories simultaneously: the leaked pentagon report saying the US bombing of Iran’s nuclear sites only put their program back a few months AND Marco Rubio’s denial of that claim.
Dear journalists - if I wanted completely unintelligible crap, I’d still be on twitter.
Your job is to find out what’s real. Not to simply to perpetuate the confusion.
Please don’t bother engaging with me if you cover responsibility for your words by labelling them sarcasm.
I had more than my share of interactions with people who try to escape responsibility for what they say on Twitter. It’s why I moved here.
I’m super tired of ‘just joking’ defensiveness.
It has felt difficult to carry on reading Lacan without her, because we’re so worried for her, she's so present with us, even though she cannot get online. And the temptation is to feel that what we’re doing is pointless.
THat's what the bastards of the world want all of us to feel - helpless and like doing anything but despairing is pointless.
But it’s not. We will do what we can for her, and honour what brought us all together by reading, by DOING.
I will not give these fuckers my despair.
Fuck these murderous cunts. Fuck Trump, Fuck Netanyahu, Fuck every country not absolutely condemning Israel for their slaughter of civilians in Gaza and Iran.
I wish I believed in cosmic justice. I hope with ferocity that there will be a reckoning for these monsters.
My beloved friend Elnaz CHOSE to stay in Tehran even though she had an offer of a university place in Europe because, as a psychoanalyst, she said… but who will be here for my patients if every psychoanalyst leaves?
Some one has to stay and listen. So I stay.
We received a voice message from her yesterday, before Iran’s internet went down. Very teary, very afraid and bewildered.
This is the woman who bravely protested during the headscarf protests, and abhors the current government.
But guess what? She loves her country, just like we love ours, even when we have cunts for leaders.
Meanwhile the farce of the Trump telling Iranians to evacuate Tehran is cruel lunacy.
Tehran is a city of 14 million people. There is, according to my friend Elnaz who is there, no way to get out of the city. There are 10 hour traffic jams and they’re running out of petrol in the city (because Israel has bombed the refineries). Most people simply CANNOT evacuate.
I do not for a moment seek in any way to valorize the Iranian regime, but I notice most mainstream media are echoing the Trump/Netanyahu line that Iran posed an imminent nuclear threat.
The IAEA is not a politicised organisation. Their report is clear.
Just a reminder as all the barrage of bullshit hits the media
"IAEA chief: No evidence Iran is building a nuclear weapon"
Some days it feels like half my timeline is in Finnish. 
Thank you for all the wonderful follow prompts, Sune!
