I've tried this workflow on @magnific, so if you don't have an account yet, you can sign up right here!

Let's get started with the tutorial ⬇️
On one side, we have our audio to sync up. I recommend keeping it a little under 15s. And if possible, just the isolated vocals. You’ll understand why in a second.

On the other side, we have our main character. I created her in Seedream 5.0 Pro using the prompt I attached. Image

β€œPolice chiefs make officers β€˜reflect on anti-racism’ with 500-word essays.”

Real Telegraph headline, this week. Part of DEI training costing forces hundreds of thousands of pounds of your money.

I spent my career in policing. I’ve read the report . I’m furious. 🧡 Image

Because it’s worse than waste.

The people with the power to arrest you are being trained to see the law-abiding, gender-critical, immigration-sceptical public β€” millions of us β€” as the problem.

Not the threat on the street. Us. Our opinions.

The smear is now written into police training.

Northamptonshire trainers are told to link β€œthe rise of Right-wing groups” to β€œBritain since the 2016 European referendum.”

17 million people voted Leave. The training frames that vote as the backdrop to extremism.

Important new paper on effects of inclusionary zoning.

tl, dr: the *typical* IZ policy in CA:
1⃣causes 31% decrease in housing production;
2⃣shifts production to lower-income areas; &
3⃣produces BMR units at per-unit cost PAID BY RENTERS of ~$775k

1/6 Image
This paper represents a major advance relative to prior work on IZ b/c (1) it leverages a plausibly exogenous source of variation in IZ policies (a court decision and subsequent legislative fix), and (2) it observes a large set of IZ policies & quantifies their stringency.

2/
The measure of stringency isn't perfect -- it doesn't account for vacancy / admin costs of renting "BMR" units when the allowable rent is near or above market rents -- but it's pretty good and could easily be adopted by state policymakers to constrain local IZ.

This is going to be a rough thread. Beware. This is a repost based on the Amnesty issue.

As a woman, I’m terrified of rape. It is one of THE most traumatic things that can happen to you. It takes forever to heal from. It can leave you incapacitated. Broken. Destroyed. 1/
I cannot for a second imagine demanding anything of a rape survivor, let alone that they be around men. It’s inconceivable to me. To have a charity demand that of a shelter shocked me to my core. 2/
If a survivor wanted a space free from brunettes born on a Wednesday I’d try to give it to her. Because I’d center HER and no one else. Whatever SHE needs. ESPECIALLY a female only space. 3/

An anecdote from my MA days: My supervisor had done his PhD at the Frankfurt School under Karl Otto Apel and had taken classes with JΓΌrgen Habermas. The consensus at Frankfurt in his day had been that metaphysics was dead and had been superseded by postmetaphysical thinking. 1/ Image
Apel, Habermas, and their disciples were of the view that the ancient and medieval project of discovering the fundamental nature of reality had been shown to be hopeless or confused by Kant's critique of reason. Kant was, in this sense, the first postmetaphysical thinker. 2/
On their interpretation of the history of philosophy, many of the great philosophical currents of the twentieth century – phenomenology, logical positivism, ordinary language philosophy among others – could be seen as products of this new postmetaphysical perspective. 3/

Second part 🧡
The death of first ISGS/ISSP emir marked an end to the first part of Islamic State evolution.
War with al-Qaeda had already been raging on for over a year, IS patrols were sighted as far as Benin/Togo - Islamic State sends a senior commander from another wilayat...
to take over a different one - not particularly rare for Islamic State, the groups holds its affiliates at short distance, has interfered at lenght in Afghanistan, Yemen, Nigeria, Philippines, Bangladesh, Congo.
However, to send an emir to completely take over is still rarity.
Abu Bara al-Sahrawi, an actual Libyan, long time operative of Libyan and likely also theaters nearby (for some time Tunisia and Algeria fought against a strong IS insurgency), was dispatched from Libya to Mali. In one of the towns in Menaka region, IS Central's delegation...
