WordPress and AI

That’s not the main reason I got a new BlogSpot/Blogger account, but it is good enough to convince me to avoid posting that much of substance here again at all. I won’t be deleting this account but will eventually post my address.

Not so fast, Quillette — PINKERITE

Quillette was seen today in that cesspool T itter, trying to whitewash its reputation, in spite of its far-right positions and its support for race pseudoscience, via ChatGPT.So I went over to ChatGPT and had a little talk with it and by the end we agreed:Yes indeed, ChatGPT, since Quillette does publish articles that promote…

A Cornucopia of Lies: CDC Director Walensky’s 1 November Interview on CSPAN — Pandemic Enclave

For those who are wondering #WheresWalensky, CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky came out of her Paxlovid rebound following her COVID-19 infection in October long enough to pump some propaganda on CSPAN on 1 November. I don’t think there’s much here that’s new in terms of Walensky’s lies and gaslighting, but I wanted to touch on…

Syria: protests against Turkish ‘reconciliation’ call — CounterVortex

Thousands of local residents held protests across the Turkish occupation zone in northern Syria on Aug. 12, to oppose calls by Ankara for “reconciliation” with the Bashar Assad dictatorship. Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu, speaking to diplomats in Ankara the day before, said, “We have to somehow get the opposition and the regime to reconcile in Syria. Otherwise,…

Pandemic insignificance: how Germany’s left failed to defend life against capital during the COVID pandemic — FightBack

This situation is a result of the loud voices of COVID-denialists and individualists, but most of all of the fundamental function of the capitalist state that systematically prioritizes capital’s interests over the health of workers and marginalized groups.

The ”Left” in general is guilty of that.

Why Google News Does Not Want To Talk Caste ? — KAFILA – COLLECTIVE EXPLORATIONS SINCE 2006

The Google episode shows the right-wing vision of unity is exclusionary. But this vision is increasingly being challenged in the United States and beyond. On 9 May 1916, a young BR Ambedkar presented a paper at Colombia University in the United States titled Castes in India: Their Mechanism, Genesis and Development. He referred to caste as […]

NORWAC Update-I Fucking Told You So

Some Astrologers are now posting on Twitter how they now test positive after going to a Mask Optional Conference, who would have guessed the likelihood of something like that ever happening? BTW, did you guys know that Monkeypox is already here in Washington State?

NORWAC is guilty of criminal negligence, and the Astrologers enabling their shit because risking lives is not a big deal to them should feel ashamed of themselves.

Childbirth was NEVER safe

Just linking to this for a future rant elsewhere.

“One of my favourite things I ever learned is that women did not start dying in childbirth in high numbers until the 17th century”

Then your ”education” was shit, death rates for pregnancy and childbirth was always high in humans, this has been well documented.

Unfortunately the author Rafaella Marcus decided to use the midwife tidbit as a way to distort history, just because the Midwives of the time were better at helping people give birth back then than doctors doesn’t mean survival rates were that great, it was only when better medicine and methods came about-sanitation being an important but definitely not only part-did the dangers start to lessen.

Webs.com’s Official Website is dishonest, their service shut down two years ago

But this important piece of information was not announced on their own site, just this post on FaceBook.

At least there are a small handful of low cost options out there for website hosting, but unfortunately there are way too many Blogs and Sites still recommending them, it is as though there is a semi official list of Services that Tech Writers give the thumbs up without ever trying out these services themselves.

I just had to look at some Neopagan & Occult FaceBook Group Profiles recently

While I will never claim to be an expert on the Ancient Near East, Innana and Astarte are not the same Goddess, and I’ve come to the conclusion that Western Occult symbols are always red flags about misinformation rife in these communities.

In addition, you will not learn anything useful about ANE Gods via Christian Grimoires written by Clergy, for the love of Gods at the very least start borrowing or pirating translations of Source Texts including Epigraphy, Archaeology, and research works written by Academics who are probably being paid less than most fast food workers.

WordPress is like the GNOME DE

Whats needed, for the basic fucking needs of any end user, in this service is mostly ”fixed” by buggy plugins. That I refuse to install.

Speaking of WordPress, I think I am close to finding decent alternatives, at least for the short term. Alas, Wix and Webs no longer have free options, and some of the other free ones often recommended are now owned by EIG, so I have less and less options to settle for.

Metal and Classical

A possibly controversial view of mine is that while yes, it is true that Metal bands sometimes are influenced by or incorporate Classical into their songs, they aren’t that good at it.

If anything, Post Punk, Goth, and their Daughter Subgenres especially Ethereal Wave have been far better at accomplishing that task, especially if Art House operatic singers are part of the Acts, but rarely ever get credited for doing so.
