Important To State For The Record That The British Supreme Court Are Idiots

important to state for the record that the British Supreme Court are idiots

they sound very scary when you describe them as The Supreme Court but remember, these are five dusty old cishets, one of whom is a weirdo who used to write homophobic documents for the Church of Scotland. I've seen so much commentary, even from pro-trans british journalists, about how the ruling is "forensic" and "balanced" and "rational" - no it isn't, it's clearly the work of people who don't know what they're talking about. You know how I know? They accidentally defined all bi women as lesbians. They said that the legal test for a lesbian is being an AFAB person attracted to another AFAB person, and at no point did anyone go, "Hang on a second, what about bi people?" Congratulations to terfs I guess, you were so excited to get rid of the T you got rid of the B!

This ruling is exactly what you'd expect from locking five old straight people in a room and asking them to set rules for queer life without speaking to any queer people. Their judgement is silly legal word games and it has no relation to real people's actual lives - if you wanna use lawyerspeak they've "undermined public confidence in the legal system." It's not even "the emperor has no clothes," it's "the emperor is naked and covered in shit."

i can kinda understand that politicians need to make a show of respect in their tone, like okay, probably a good thing that politicians don't get into the habit of publicly undermining judges. But any journalist who treats this ruling as remotely sensible is daft - only a straight person could make that kind of mistake

These judges are idiots - I use the word in the classical greek sense of someone who is not connected to and does not understand the life of the public, of the people. Their judgement is laughable and we don't have to respect them

I'm not anti-AI because all art needs to have a soul or whatever. I'm anti AI because it's making my clinicians dependent on the internet in a place that loses power often. I'm anti AI because I've seen it miss things a technician would have caught on microscopy. I'm anti-AI because it's killed my patients.

Medical AI software companies are rolling things out too quickly and making promises they can't keep. We're buying into it because capitalism is demanding everyone work faster on more patients but refuses to provide more staff or more support.

If it's bad enough that I'm seeing it in veterinary medicine, I'm terrified about what that means for patient care in humans.

if anyone wants to get off of windows and miKKKro$oft's private data AI monetization train you can DM us and we will literally walk you through installing linux.

we prefer mint for new users for the same reason i prefer mint in many cases- its just going to work and do what most people need of their computer in a way that is better, quicker, and more intuitive than anything Microsoft's investors want to push on you

(then you get to go crazy and run arch or a special focus distribution or something funny like uwuntu)

Have you tried other non verbal communication? Either texting with emojis, drawing how you're feeling, even just finding gifs and memes that help convey what you're feeling might be enough to ease yourself into talking about things you'd otherwise struggle to
