Fixed a typo in the post.

Folks, just a gentle note: the baptism thing is turning into a derail (and making jokes about a woman getting nearly drowned is even more of one.)

Two comments deleted. tiny frying pan, you're fine, but if you want to talk about another user's behavior it's better to take it to MeTa at this point. plagued out moggies, i want to address a bit from your deleted comment. You said, "TFP, you’ve already been asked to stop shitting up this thread". In fact, tiny frying pan was told to try to comment more constructively; you, however, were told to stop talking to other users this way. Take a break from the thread, please.

Hey, folks, just popping in to say that a few things in here have gotten flagged. I don't see any need for deletions or anything, but do please try to keep the conversation on the rails.

Two deleted. Folks, i understand that over time MetaFilter has gone a lot of different ways on whether "covert wishes for violent things to Mysteriously Happen" are okay. And to some extent it's always gonna be a judgment call! The userbase here is clearly pretty on edge, right now, with things that are edging into "fedposting" territory, so i've removed it. unearthed, you're totally fine, and i'm not even going to pretend i didn't fave that one without my mod hat on, because i did; but with my mod hat on, and with the number of folks who were made uneasy by it, i think it's a distraction this thread doesn't need. Ice Cream Socialist, your comment was only deleted because it was a reply to a deleted comment.

Fixed a typo in the post. Please carry on.

Hi, folks, just addressing a couple comments that have picked up flags: tiny frying pan: i am entirely in sympathy with you here, but your comment is effectively noise. It would be better to express your objection to the subject in ways that don't feel so much like drive-by snark. plagued out moggies: I'm not removing your comment, but you need to take this kind of thing to MeTa rather than talking to other members this way.

Several deleted because they were either posted in the wrong thread, or replying to comments deleted for that reason. You're all fine, you didn't do anything wrong, but the thread about LLM detection and "commonly used phrases" is over here. This thread is about LLM-generated fiber arts.

Abehammerb Lincoln: "Ah, April 2027 for a second season. Good to know when my wife will be ridiculously horny again." I'm not going to delete this locker-room-esque comment, but please consider how this sort of thing comes across to other community members.

Fixed that link!

Duplicate comment removed. anshuman, i left the later of the two duplicates, since it had an extra sentence; hope that's okay!

URL in comment fixed. Please carry on.

Removed a paragraph with a duplicate link as requestedby OP

Added the USPolitics tag, out of an abundance of caution.

One removed for making a gross insinuation about another commenter.

One deleted. Galvanic, you have posted two comments in this thread involving "slutty clothes" analogously. I left the first one and deleted the second, but in general, that particular analogy is creating way more heat than light. Please stop. Everyone else, please do not pile on and derail the thread.]

Fixed the broken link in this comment.

WatTylerJr: "Demi-god Jeff "I destroy things for money money and more money" Bezos and that thing he 'married'. And so I decide I didn't like this at all." I am not going to remove this comment, but please note that it is not ever acceptable to call a woman "that thing", regardless of how odious she is. (It is also not an acceptable thing to call anyone of any other gender, for the record.)

One deleted. In general, it's not a great idea to have your first comment in a thread—especially when it is also the first comment in a thread!—be a snarky one-liner that invites a sexist reading.

Sanicula: "I've always found it fascinating that morels seem to be the only wild food that midwesterns are universally excited to forage. Well...aside from deer that they pick off from a sniper post in their backyard." Yeah, I'm not going to delete this, but please do not do this. Midwesterners are not, actually, an undifferentiated mass of gun-toting hicks. Some of them even read MetaFilter!

One comment removed as requested.

The derail taking place needs to stop, please take it to Memail if necessary.

edited aleph's comment to make the link clickable

okayturnip: i'm absolutely not saying the conversation can't focus on Kneecap's politics! (I may not have drawn the distinction i was trying to make as clearly as i would like, in which case i'm sorry.) They're a very political band and that's an important part of their story! I just mean, it would be good if we could avoid getting off into the weeds too far (such as whether Hezbollah is a worse actor than the US. I think everyone on MetaFilter probably knows my actual personal feelings on that by now—it's still, in my opinion, too far afield for this thread.)

Folks, relitigating the 2024 election is absolutely a derail. Please do not do that in here. Gyre,Gimble,Wabe, Esq., your comment contained an unacceptable level of contempt for other MeFites, and it's been deleted. Stuff like this is absolutely not okay: "I don't get why people are surprised or even want to remark on this kind of stuff here. You guys knew this was in the play book. Welcome to your dystopia. Enjoy grubbing a rotten potato out of the ground."

Fixed link error in post.

Folks, let's avoid getting too far afield of the topic of the post (which is Kneecap) into derails about Hezbollah and Palestine. "Kneecap getting charged with terrorism because of Palestine/Lebanon support" is on-topic, but a segue into arguing about Palestine or Lebanon more directly … probably isn't. (I know i contributed to that myself yesterday, without my mod hat on, and i'm sorry about that—this note is absolutely meant to include me!)

Two comments edited to make the links clickable.

chariot pulled by cassowaries, just fyi, i've edited the link in your comment to be clickable.

JHarris, i've fixed the link in your first comment and deleted your second (which only contained the correct link).

Hey jamjam, this comment comes across as pretty sexist. I'm not deleting it, but in future please refrain from making statements about what "women want" and from statements that imply that straight men as a class are locked in existential conflict with their female partners.

Just a note, folks: I have removed the other post, even though it was technically the first one, because this one had the bulk of the on-topic comments. This one is, however, no longer a double!

Folks, i'm not deleting anything in here yet. However, please do be careful, when you are not defending bigotry (or, especially, the use of slurs), that you don't end up sounding like you're defending it by accident.

Three comments deleted. They're all from yesterday; i am just popping in to clean up the rest of the derail of users sniping at each other, especially since the context was lost given that the inciting comment was deleted yesterday.

Also, just a note that calling substance-dependent folks "nasty addict[s]" is not something we encourage here. I'm letting the comment stand but please do not talk about people this way. Many, many folks are addicted to something.

Edited post text at poster's request!

tiny frying pan: i think this line of questioning has gone on long enough; take it to MeMail if Don Pepino's comment isn't sufficient to answer your question.

Added USPolitics tag! Please carry on!

One comment removed, its responses left for context. Let's try to be sensitive to context by avoiding holocaust comparisons here.

Folks, i do understand that this is all interconnected (i say so often!), but try not to relitigate the 2024 election (or any earlier elections)) in here unless it's genuinely relevant, please?

One comment removed as requested.

One deleted. Name-calling isn't OK. Please stop engaging each other in arguments in this thread.

Also, fixed the conversion factor in chariot pulled by cassowaries' comment, with permission.

flabdablet: you are threadsitting here. Give the conversation room to breathe, please!

Okay, enough. saladin, jamjam, and 922257033c4a0f3cecdbd819a46d626999d1af4a, please stop derailing the thread by sniping at each other. Everyone else, please do not feel tempted to help out here.

jamjam: "I doubt there’s going to be a whole lot of sand left, what with people like you needing so much to put their heads in." Please do not talk to other members like this!

chariot pulled by cassowaries: just a note that you're verging on threadsitting here. The conversation needs a little room to breathe!

One deleted. It's ableist and upsetting to use Joseph Merrick*'s disability to make a throwaway joke.] *aka the Elephant Man

One deleted; i think it was posted to the wrong thread. At any rate, it wasn't connected to the conversation in here.

MattD: "The weirdest feeling has got to be the fat people who aren't (yet) on the shot. The sense of sheer inevitability, that every late night snack or second serving at dinner is close to the last one before it never happens again." This is amazingly condescending as well as sizeist and arguably ableist, and it is moralizing about fatness and fat people (at the end of a comment condemning other people for moralizing about fatness and fat people, no less!) Fat people are not an abstraction or a hypothetical, we are real and we aren't all desperate to be thin. (And fatness is not always caused by overeating.) Please be more mindful.

Galvanic: "Ok boomer." I'm letting this stand in the thread, but please do not talk to other members like this. Drive-by condescension doesn't create a good climate for conversation.

Hey, just a quick note: conflating women with AFAB people is Not Great wording! It's upsetting to a lot of transmasc and nonbinary people to be rhetorically lumped into the "woman" bucket this way.

Changed post title, with poster's permission.

I fixed the HTML in this comment by Silvery Fish, and deleted two comments related to the broken link (the first commenter specifically requested that their comment be deleted after the link was fixed, and the second deleted comment was a reply to that one.)

Just chiming in to suggest we drop the Billy Joel derail, the point has been made.

URL in the post has been fixed. Please carry on.]

No comments deleted. While it is OK to disagree and speak in critical terms, please try to do so in a way that engages with the post rather than calling it "fucking stupid".

Folks, just a quick note: this post has picked up a number of flags, as have some of the comments. The article may be LLM-generated (or at least LLM-assisted), but the post itself is fine and the conversation seems to be going alright, so i'm not deleting anything. But please continue to keep things on-rails and at least vaguely on-topic. Thanks!

One deleted at user request!

Hey there, this is a near-double of Wordshore's post from last week, and the conversation there is ongoing, so i'm going to go ahead and delete this. I do encourage continuing the conversation over there, and particularly bringing up hauntology, which i think is an important lens on BoC's aesthetic!

This isn't a huge deal or anything, but please do not snipe at other users unnecessarily, thx.

Fixed the formatting in Thivaia 2.0's comment!

Edited the URL Description as the long URL was breaking the view of the front page

Fixed typo in post title! Please carry on!

Typo and post link have been fixed.

Redacted a few errors as requested.

Hi folks! Just a reminder: while the right-wing politics machine is global and all of these things are interconnected, we would definitely like to keep things in this thread focused on Hungary and the Hungarian election rather than recentering it around US politics and elections. You can definitely mention US-related stuff -- JD Vance was particularly important in this election, and that's definitely on-topic! -- but be mindful of the space you're taking up, please.

One comment removed as requested.

Link fixed!

Removed that duplicate paragraph from the post, and added "AI" and "LLM" tags while I was at it.

Fixed the USPolitics tag. Please carry on.

Deleted one: wrong thread.

I like those Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols, but they tend to wreak havoc with screen readers and end up not aiding accessibility much at all. So being the fun police I took the liberty of replacing them with your garden variety ASCII italics. Sorry about that.

One comment deleted, let's avoid "that's what she said" jokes, those are pretty dated and sexist.

Made a few adjustment to the post, as agreed with OP:

• Changed the text to reflect the nonspeaking/nonverbal difference, as pointed in the first comment.

• Changed the name in the title from Anna Stubblefield to Jayson Blair as she was convicted of raping a man with severe cerebral palsy. ]

One deleted: poster's request.

One deleted. Please keep this thread on track. Let’s focus on uplifting Trans people, sharing accomplishments and achievements, etc. derails will be deleted.

One comment removed as requested.

The second comment by grokus has now been deleted. Folks were, rightfully, flagging it again today and I see no reason to keep such an offensive comment up. His original comment is still there, but as travelingthyme said, please let us know if deletions feel more productive .

One deleted. Poster's request.

One deleted. Poster's request.

I've reached out to OP about a re-wording the post to address the feedback given in the comments, stay tuned.

Comments left up for transparency, but if deletions feel more productive, please do let us know. The two users making Transphobic comments will be permanently banned and not let back in. This type of behavior is not allowed. Re-centering the conversation to share their Transphobic comments, de-centering Trans people who are impacted by this discussion most, and sealioning will never be tolerated. Guidelines for reference.

Moved text below the fold as it was breaking the mobile display text wrap on the front page.

Title fixed!
