Gun laws don’t work? Why hasn’t Australia had a school shooting since 2012? How about the UK which was 1996? Last I checked they don’t have armed teachers in every school or allow guns on campus. Pretty sure they also have bad guys and doors and mentally ill people too.

Just caught this incredible talk by @timnitGebru on eugenics, "AGI," and the TESCREAL ideologies. I'm so glad this exists; I'm getting tired of explaining it myself, and this is an amazing talk to easily send to people that does a fantastic job youtu.be/P7XT4TWLzJw

This is Justin Jones. Tennessee Republicans just voted to expel him from the House because he protested against gun violence. Young people are watching. The world is watching. Republicans are going to regret this and pay the consequences. We stand with you, Rep. Jones.

I see some folks starting to use the “TESCREAL” acronym. So, here’s a short thread on what it stands for and why it’s important. 🧵
Andrew Hundt 😷💉x6@athundt

Lots of paper clip maximizing type talk. Comment on another sci-fi hypothetical being unrealistic, maybe a little dissonance in the midst of paper clip sci-fi talk? EA came up. “We want to talk about ideas, not f-ing communities of people.” (I think re diff TESCREAL subgroups)

I have not been this angry in a long fucking time. They were NINE YEARS OLD AND TEACHERS HAD TO DIE PROTECTING THEIR KIDS. BECAUSE OF REPUBLICAN COWARDS and NRA PUPPETS LIKE SENATOR BLACKBURN. If you aren’t livid you aren’t paying attention.

I have posted this before but .. 26 years ago, a gunman entered Dunblane Primary School in Scotland, killing 16 kids and a teacher. The UK govt responded by enacting tight gun control legislation. In the 9400+ days since, there have been a total of O school shootings in the UK.

@justin_drabek @spartatheband @SPIN @pitchfork @Punknews I am curious about this too. I found your tweet while looking for any press about the album. It's weird because there _was_ press about the singles. I really hope that this album gets some attention, because it's really special.

More good news on sars-2 vaccines: they appear to prevent long covid (we've been waiting for answers to this question). A propensity matched cohort from the UK found that 2+ doses of vaccine decreased adjusted long covid risk by 41% (95% CI 31%-50%).

@VimarshaFDN My understanding is that it refers to consciousness' ability to reflexively cognize itself as objects, but I have much more to learn about why certain schools insist that reality is just prakāśa while others affirm that it must be prakāśa and vimarśa.
