In case you've ever wondered what it's like to be trans in 2026: friends are texting each other today to be safe again, as we do every week, because the richest man in the world is yet again boosting false claims that neo-Nazis who attacked the Mosque were trans and there's a conspiracy to hide it.
The college grads in open revolt against pro-AI speakers is a reminder that this isn’t about a failure to adopt technology. These students are the first generation to have had language models throughout their college experience. No one wants it. They want an education, not a four year sales pitch.
I did a "This u?" skeet at Playboy Magazine, then went to sleep I just woke up to learn that the skeet shook Playboy so hard that their new editor-in-chief made his *first-ever* posts on Bluesky solely to tell me they're listening and learning from past mistakes I feel so powerful 🏳️⚧️🌟🗣️
There wasn't a problem with trans people in sports at any level. Trans women have never dominated any sport. If trans people were proportionately represented in women's Olympic gold medals (just to take an easy example) we'd see a few trans women take gold every year, instead of zero ever.
It’s officially my birthday and THIS was me at 36!! A year with more screen time, more animated characters, tons of traveling, new creative outlets, new horizons at a new studio, AND I’m engaged to the love of my life. So bring on 37, because there’s a high bar ❤️🔥
There's a free council-run bus service called the "hop!" in Leicester that runs every ten minutes. It's frog themed. It ribbits really loudly when it pulls up to a bus stop. Also, it's a circular route but only runs anti-clockwise so you have to ride the whole route to get back to your original stop
Understand that humanoid robots are not efficient, effective or simple to configure. In every instance, purpose built and/or stationary robots win out in terms of cost-to-performance. The rich pursue what's effectively a dead tech path for two reasons: they want slaves, and they want to fuck them.
Also, internment camps are just...always bad. I do not and will not ever support internment camps FOR ANYONE. EVER. Because even if you say "we're only putting 'x' bad people in these camps," once you have an internment camp, all of a sudden EVERYONE starts looking like 'x'. EVERYONE.
Currently working on a case to try and get polyamorous relationships protected by the Illinois Human Rights Act. I have absolutely no idea if it will work, but it's nice to occasionally have a case pushing to extend human rights to more people as opposed to pushing back on them being taken away.
The problem with Maureen Galindo is that this "Israel controls our government" talk is, frankly, genocide apologia. Is Israel why we're starving Cuba? Why we kidnapped the president of Venezuela? Why the US is escalating genocide against trans people?
The worst part of that grifter pretending to be me in an attempt to get free games is that I’ve got tons of indie developers excited for coverage I simply can’t guarantee. I can at least share their games here though, so here’s the latest to reach out: store.steampowered.com/app/2769240/...
(sigh) No. He wrote so extensively in a certain direction that the texts the AI's algorithm searched said that the most probable response from a woman would be to GTFO. So it switched together an answer-shaped response based on those writings. Please stop pushing the idea an LLM has agency.
I read “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time” for the sake of a video and I feel like everyone is oddly blasé about the fact that the dad killed a dog? The end of the book seemingly involves the protagonist coming to accept the dad into his life which is odd given how he murdered dog?
"Barnes & Noble CEO backs selling AI-written books in stores" Absolutely the fuck not. Buy and order from indies (many ship!). If money's a worry, libraries can help you - even with ebooks! But no there is no reason to just roll over and accept jerks pushing ai inevitability. Hit them in the wallet
Wait a minute... Are we actually losing the ability to use the Google search engine? This... sucks. I have tried to leave Google behind, but it's remained the most functional search engine. Not as good as it once was, but still providing an easier way to find what I want than its competitors.
I tried to keep Rolling Stone in rotation as a news source but they keep shooting themselves in the nethers. Publishing a hype piece for a start-up that already got busted for their tenuous grasp on accuracy is just embarrassing. Did you dipshits forget we did this "dire wolf" thing last year?
Growing up as a ND girl for me meant feeling like I learned how to be a person late, but ALSO how to be a *girl* late. I didn't know how to put in a ponytail until I was like 13! I feel like there's less equivalent for boys; femininity has this load-bearing requirement to look effortless and innate.
One thing I haven't seen anyone note yet is the wording of the AIPAC victory lap post about Massie. Did you see how they referred to "our community"? Inferring that they are the Jewish community? They are deliberately FEEDING antisemitic conspiracy theories and you'll never convince me otherwise.
It fascinates me how people internalize certain tarot cards. I always looked at tarot not as a harbinger of a future, but as meditative device to tell us where we are at. We are creating stories in our heads and relating them to our personal experiences, and that will tell you a lot about yourself.
I love that he has no game. His delivery is stilted. He's doing Bill Clinton fists. He's trying to connect with reporters and not the audience at home. We're gonna see slapfights between him and Rubio from now to 2028: damaging leaks, kneecapping, finger-pointing, it's gonna be awesome.
You know i was always confused by that scene in return of the jedi where the robots are getting tortured in Jabba’s palace like why would you torture a robot but now that ive experienced a world with ai, yeah, yeah, i would like to put Chatgpt and Claude on The Rack
I think it's kind of funny that Blanche deliberately set the "settlement" to $1,776,000,000 because they were trying to own the libs, but almost nobody took or understood the bait and everywhere it's being reported as either "$1.7 billion" or "$1.8 Billion." They can't even troll well anymore.
Trans people: *Exist* Government: "Terrorists. Extremists. Enemies of the state." White nationalists: *Violently seize control of the Capitol building in an attempt to overturn an election.* Government: "My babies. My precious children. Money. More money for my beautiful babies."
Oh for fuck's sake: do you remember back during the Iraq War, the war we were lied into by the Bush Administration, when they handed soldiers a deck of cards with the names and faces of Iraqi targets? That's what the New Republic hands Din Djarin in The Mandalorian & Grogu. I shit you not.
A thriving metropolis at the center of commerce on the Mississippi, Memphis was struck by a yellow fever outbreak in 1878. White residents fled, abandoning Black residents to their fate. Nearly 150 years later, attitudes towards Memphis are still characterized by callous disregard and dismissal.
So, we're all aware the J6 coup was/is still ongoing and Donald Trump, who cares nothing for these people and is embarrassed by them is making sure they did no jail time and are getting slushy money because he intends to stay in power and will need such people, who believe fighting for Trump will
When the bans dropped, I made a promise to myself that I would engage in malicious compliance - I would use a women's room if the law required me to do so, risk arrest, and make people uncomfortable. I haven't broken my pledge, but I was just in Texas and of course I wound up avoiding bathrooms.
Here is a thought: no one is owed your attention, care or time. Even if they wrote a comic or a novel or a movie script that mattered to you once. Even if they gave a speech that helped you, saw you, lifted you up. Sometimes, a person's monstrous acts casts a shadow over past good work.
"It’s ridiculous that [Hampstead Ponds] are going to have to spend public money defending their inclusive choice against well-funded lawfare. "It’s on this government to ensure a coherent legal framework that protects inclusive spaces like this more clearly." @fruitypy.bsky.social
