Re-banned from posting, even plain text

Tom KirkmanIndependent Project Manager

/ Edit, now I cannot make *any* new posts at all, even plain text new posts.

Our benevolent AI overlords have graciously allowed me to *comment* on existing old posts, though …

=====================

Apparently I am once again re-banned from posting images.
Yet again.
< sigh >

< imagine a random imaginary image here >

a little alliterration is a little lit

My mere words need to step up to the plate, to counter the arbitrary anti-image restrictions.

And the GooderThink games with the AI continues afoot
( I expect to win, because AI is pretty stupid )
😁

Nada.
Zilch.

your assessment is accurate.
Science Duck In A Box is dead until the LI AI gives it permission to live.
Because that is how Science works !

on Sunday I'll see if I can come up with yet another of my dozens of iterations of turning Schrödinger's Cat quantum thought experiment on its head.

To help educate the AI Learning Machine with more Settled Science Factualnesses.

/ Update : I tried posting this as a new post, but LinkedIn won't let me:

==================

testing 1. 2. 3.
LinkedIn is still blocking me from posting images.
Although I am allowed to post plain text *comments* in other threads.

This post is a test to see if I can make a simple plain text new post.

Other people have commented that they are unable to find me here even with a search for my name, and they had to chase down one of my replies to their comments in order to find me.

This Double Secret Probation Doghouse / Animal House is getting increasingly bizarre.

Tom Kirkmanreplying to Max GuernseyMay 19, 2026
true, unfortunately.
LinkedIn was *far better* before Microsoft acquired LinkedIn.

And the AI censors here are making this forum much worse, clamping down on
unapproved thought".
