Contact...is the secret ....is the moment ....when everything happens

I've noticed some desktop apps have the savvy to make things like no titlebar, no menubar, disappearing scrollbars, etc, into optional settings. Gee, if only there was a way users could set their gui prefs once, and all their apps just did that, with zero work needed from any appdevs... Oh well 🤷‍♀️

This week in "God I'm old": When the heck did X (not the website) become "molly"???

Ok, I need to log off for awhile. If I don't, I'll just keep reposting political stuff and really nobody needs more of that right now.

I wonder how many people in the main opposition party realize they’re waiting for elections that will never come.

A great way for Senate Democrats to protest what’s going on is to not have almost 40% of the caucus keep voting to advance a money laundering bill.

The New York Times is a mobile game company that funds a fascist propaganda machine. Wordle is a tool of the oppressors. Stop playing all their games and snuff out their oxygen.

Pee isn't stored in the balls. Pee is just made by the balls.

Alright, that's it, these stupid vestigial T factories have got to go. Even if for no other reason than the constant piss breaks. Sheesh.

Honestly, at this point I think I'd rather cis people try to use me as their personal encyclopedia of trans. At least then they'd actually be trying to learn instead of patting themselves on the back over "I'm not against them, and that's all there is to know or do. Me good ally."

Emotion recognition is a pseudoscience. A strong, weak, or half “smile” could be one of many things: an expression of joy, fun, happiness, disappointment, surprise, or schadenfreude (a mean-spirited sense that you enjoy somebody else’s suffering). Which smile does this system recognize?

"Describe a movie in the most misleading way possible." A struggling nobody finds the confidence and inner strength to turn his life around, touching many other lives in the process.

Pathetic: ABC’s GMA, World News Tonight, This Week, CBS’ Mornings, Evening News, Face the Nation, NBC’s Today, Nightly News, Meet the Press, MSNBC, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times, and The Wall Street Journal all failed to cover Trump's new office for ethnic cleansing.

I hate this idea that any transfem can meaningfully "punch up" at other transfems on the basis of sexuality tbh. Like what sexuality is unmarked for us? What way for a trans woman to relate to sex won't be taken by some significant chunk of cis people as evidence of our fundamental degeneracy?

The ‘is Bluesky bad’ debate is the same bullshit from the same provocateurs who brought you the ‘is LA rioting’ debate.

As much as I like shishito, the papery seeds are a definite drawback.

The 80's must seem so confusing to anyone who wasn't there. Like, "Hey, my 80's dude. You're really gonna spout such homophobic shit, while dressed...like that?"

Blanchardianism led me to believe that with gender, "wanting to be" and "actually being" were two different things. Now I understand how wanting to be a gender is an enormous sign of already being that gender. That's where the want comes from: from the part of the mind that already innately IS.

Soooo many of us. I'm furious at the old gatekeeping model because it, and transphobic bigotry, are soley responsible for stealing from me the body and the teens/20's I should've had, could have had, and still desperately want. I struggle with the loss of those literally every day.

Here’s the thing, Trump & Miller don’t actually see it that way. They SAY that because they can’t say they want to terrorize and abduct groups they hate. The Times sees it as their job to make sure readers never learn the truth.

Do people know how elevators work? They always seem so shocked when the doors open and someone's already there. "OMG, someone materialized right in front of me! Is this where people go when magicians dissapear them?!"

Cried a little today because I finally got to do something I tried to do in high school but couldn't because gender: Signed up for volleyball

Proof the Dept of Homeland Security is using Nazi generated content

A guy I used to know absolutely swore by the speedreading "technique". His responses to my emails constantly demonstrated it was in fact, very much not working. AI summaries are just the new speedreading.

One thing I appreciate about horror films is that when you think "I hope that character dies, and horribly", they probably will.

"Make it hip and modern" is a great way to hijack a remake or followup. Some things are best not shoehorned into a different setting (or a corporate notion of "cool")

When I said I needed FFS, I meant facial feminization surgery, not a daily stream of new reasons to yell "for fucks sake!"

My timeline today

Can't help wondering why any new shows sign with netflix anymore with it nearly guaranteed they'll get cancelled early, most likely after one season. Two if it's really lucky. You'd think netflix would no longer be able to get any shows besides the ones nobody else is willing to touch.

AI is perfectly suited to replace the pilots of tech leaders' private jets.

The question is not “what could they do” — it’s “what will they actually do, day to day, in practice?” Will they actually check the results? Also: What’s the value of a product you have to check? Why not just… grade it yourself? You’re either grading a human student, or an over-hyped technology.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

the fact that people were told “today you are going to an elementary school to lie to teachers and kidnap kids” and didn’t immediately tell their bosses to go fuck themselves is all you need to know about why ICE should be dismantled
