I don't care about 'who's next?' as much as I care about trans people *right now* and if more people cared about trans people *right now* they wouldn't have to worry about 'who's next?'

do people not realize that the past four decades of US policing legislation PR and practice have made the allegation that someone is a “gang member” entirely subject to the whims of the state

this is kinda why i think the “he’s right about some things!” people need to stay quiet this man is such a vicious loser

AOC: Some of the Republicans whose districts we visited just warned their leadership that they’re not sure they can vote for Medicaid cuts now. We’ve got them on their back foot. But our job is not done. We will rally every corner of the U.S. We will not stop until they actually vote no.

David Byrne. Anthony Hopkins. Etc. Etc.

Has this motherfucker never heard of Temple Grandin?

that great whooshing sound isn’t from the space capsule #missing_the_point

What they're looking for in every job interview now

broke down & got a BritBox sub just to get a long overdue Toast of London injection need some Ray Purchase & Clem Fandango in my life dammit

JK Rowling spent a great deal of time & attention popularizing & enabling the despicable lie that trans women aren’t women + this UK Supreme Court fuckery. Stop buying anything Harry Potter. Shame the actors who signed on for the latest cash grab. Spend $$ on trans people and queer art.

As our tools get smarter and our challenges grow messier, collaboration is the skill that holds it all together. At #IAC25 you’ll learn how to lead collaborative processes that work across silos, disciplines, and priorities.

This reminds me … I haven’t been seeing quite as much pro-gun content from the right lately… maybe they’re less invested in arming a populace they want to control?

The Lost Cause pro-Confederacy propaganda machine basically ran unhindered for generations, warping our collective understanding of our own history, giving unwarranted credit to “great figures” who don’t deserve it (eg Robert E Lee… and DW Griffith)

Are you a Philly-based artist new(er) to mural making? Are you interested in creating an artist-led, temporary mural for Front Street Walls 2025? Apply here: forms.gle/PdChbFLX7x8L...

I stopped listening to Stewart after his “both sides old!” commentary after the first 2024 debate. It was clear he didn’t understand the stakes. In some later clips i ran across, I thought he might be catching up, but nah

🤔

Third pic in Andy’s post is the Lumon “WoeMeter” which is so luscious my word (tumblr post for that entry) www.tumblr.com/vizreef/7795...

Again, if the idea is that when someone in custody leaves the nation’s airspace there’s no way for a court to compel the state to return them—or exert any jurisdiction at all—then you’re simply saying whoever’s in power can fly people 100 miles offshore and push them out of helicopters into the sea.

Any game industry folks who could bring a knowledgeable eye to a quick review for this awesome person?

Friends! There's a game studio that wants to interview me, and they've sent some questions about game UX/product design for me to answer first. Would anyone be interested in going over my responses to make sure they make sense? I just really don't want to ruin this opportunity.

Is there an account where I can see all the designs wore in Schitt’s Creek? I need that so much

USA-made movies, TV shows, and video games still frequently feature “successfully torturing accurate information out of someone” as a frequent trope with no hint of moral complication. This shit is deep in our culture.

Anything but the lowest common denominator is unnatural and must be eradicated from the face of Christ’s earth

obviously, this is a flat-out lies

That whole thread is brilliant

I remember first time a friend who had an early CD player showed me what “digital noise” sounded like — like a record skip but a digital CD — and that unnatural raggedly glitchy screech is what our politics feels like to me right now

“Politics is technology now.” youtu.be/TZOoT8AbkNE?...

This terrible graphic is using blue for “all Americans” when most readers will think it’s Democrats because it is blue. Maybe it wouldn’t make a huge difference to label it accurately but … why do it like this?

“savings”

god this is a good set of questions to ask about things

Professor Gina Neff of Queen Mary University London told the BBC ChatGPT is "burning through energy", and the data centres used to power it consume more electricity in a year than 117 countries. This is just ChatGPT, not even all Gen AI. Using more electricity than >60% of the world.

"To bet against the future on this scale – to bank on your bunker – is to betray, on the most basic level, our duties to one another, to the children we love, and to every other life form with whom we share a planetary home." www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

Yep yep yep
