love how every time I see the word “woke” I get to be reminded that for maybe eight whole months out of the entire time I’ve been alive, making an effort to be kind to one another was trendy, and now we’re all going to spend the rest of our lives being punished for it

Elon Musk is taking a half step back from DOGE to try to save Tesla’s reputation, but it isn’t making much difference in Europe. Sales were down 59% in France, 62% in the UK, and a whopping 81% in Sweden — where Tesla has refused to sign a collective agreement. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

yeah Tezuka also wrote Princess Knight if you’re into treatises about how how evil national laws regarding gender are and how the most mediocre men ever will commit violent coups so their brainlet nepobabies can succeed them

Tezuka not only made many trans coded characters that we can relate to this day but also straight up made stories SPECIFICALLY about being transgender (or at least the desire to be the "opposite gender")

Tezuka was craaaazy progressive about gender and sex especially for the time. He had canonical trans and gay characters. (It was surprising to me that he was also really racist.)

This aired in *1988* let no one ever tell you that they can't put trans characters in their shit in our year 2025

you ever think about how back in Astro Boy, in the fucking 60s, this was one of Blue Knight's critiques of humanity?

I had never seen this before and it delights me

If there were no NDAs all around I could tell you about twenty projects in the last five years alone that followed these exact steps except for "and it all came together beautifully". If anything can be learned here, it's not that they found a writer on a writing site and a musician on a music site.

I hope everyone working on LLMs has reckoned with their role in building a technology that, so far, has offered little to no benefit to humanity — while causing real harm by degrading art, undermining labor in creative industries, and straight up automating political propaganda

La ultraderecha: España es cada vez más insegura porque vienen de fuera a robar por culpa de la izquierda buenista. El resto del putísimo mundo:

Say it after me: Chat GPT is not a search engine. It does not scan the web for information, it just generates statistically likely sentences. You cannot use it a search engine, or as a substitute for searching. Now. Please never use an LLM for information searches ever again.

Definitivamente tengo que ponerme otra vez con Miraculous Ladybug. Siempre me pareció que los creadores querían mostrar inclusividad pero "con Disney y Toei de productores lo más que podemos hacer es subtexto sorry" y en esta última temporada por fin han dicho "fuck subtext".

Just in case any of you would like a script.

WB y Rowling: Vamos a hacer una nueva Harry Potter, con casinos y furcias *Paapa Essiedu firma un manifiesto pro-trans* WB y Rowling: Es más, paso de Harry Potter

SURPRISING: we interviewed a hundred women and this is apparently the ideal male body type!

We talk a lot about social media radicalizing the population but it's been far more efficient at radicalizing public figures.

Absolutely fuck everyone involved in this show. They know. They all know. It's impossible not to at this point. Lithgow had a CLOSE FRIEND reach out and try and get how awful this is through to him and he's more than happy to take the role and is "curious" to meet Rowling. Absolute fucking scum.

The UK is a fascist state with the pretence of democracy. Autism is not a disease. Being trans is not a disease. Neither need cured. Leave us the fuck alone!!

Right wing politics in a nutshell.

Ya, bueno, pero ya no habrá más peliculas como La Sirenita negra.

For those who think Elon Musk just “turned” bad a few years ago: In 2014, Musk threatened an entire team at Tesla with deportation when their leader asked him to address a brake safety issue with the Model S. She was forced to resign.

Prosecutors have been illegally eavesdropping on Luigi Mangione’s calls with his attorney.

Feliz cumpleaños a todas las lesbianas!! Sois geniales seguid así!!

¡Feliz cumpleaños a todas las lesbianas! (Que ALSA ni felicite ni haga promociones por el día de hoy me parece homofobia)

Feliz día de la visibilidad lésbica

People sometimes ask "what are the crimes" and let me tell y'all, as a lawyer, that intentionally copying, altering, destroying, or disrupting government computer systems is super-duper illegal if you don't have a spotless paper trail authorizing it, which none of these DOGE people do.

The FBI just arrested a Wisconsin circuit court judge for failing to assist ICE to its satisfaction in their kidnapping of a human being out of court custody and into a death camp. Any attempt to soften the reality of that statement is fascist propaganda.

So it seems like when you post a link to BlueSky, the web client fetches the thumbnail and uploads it. This seems dangerous — presumably I could link to a news story headlined "dangerous criminal on the loose" and upload a photo of anyone I like as the thumbnail?

Esa excolaboradora de la que usted me habla fue la que, en vísperas de las elecciones presidenciales de EE UU de 2016, dijo que casi mejor Trump que Hillary porque no sé qué.

leave it to the Times to speculate on AI deserving human rights after spending years degrading the rights of pick a marginalized group.
