you can't draw a lot of conclusions from a single race. there are external factors, flawed candidates, the right political climate. but one conclusion you can absolutely draw is that all of the people who tell you that there's only one way things can be are fucking wrong

This is of course the same thing the WGA strikes were about. Nobody really thinks LLMs can do the job. But bosses want to pretend to get an LLM to do the job then only pay for "rewrites" (more work but less pay).

I’m going to make a thread about how the feds have changed their tactics here in Los Angeles because the community has forced them to adapt.

I am incensed. This is all so heartbreaking and despicable. The Iranian people do not deserve this violence. We do not deserve this governance. The world does not deserve this. These outrages must end.

I am begging people not to look to the NYT for coverage of what's happening. The BBC, Le Monde, Ajazeera and others will have more truthful coverage.

After holding space and continuously protesting violent ICE kidnappings since June 11th, protesters showed out last night in Portland, OR. Around 300 people showed up after a march made its way to the ICE facility last night.

Just a reminder that generative AI is theft of labor and intellectual property, uses vast amounts of energy/ water, provides at best mediocre results (if not outright lies or misinformation), actually affects your ability to think over time (mind duh), and is in general a really fucking bad idea.

This is my absolute favorite tea shop, and they need some help. Whether that's ordering something delicious from them, donating, or just spreading the word, please consider it. The world needs more tasty, needy teas!

i can only repeat this so many times but similar to abortion the government cannot end gender transition medicine (for youth or otherwise), it can only increase the danger and precarity of the lives of those who access it. essentially no mainstream media recognizes this correct framing

If youre a genderqueer person who doesnt wish to medically transition thats lovely, but if you think the response to me crying over the loss of my rights and kids rights is to tell me its okay you dont need medical support to be trans I am going to have to block you before I say some real mean shit

Today is a particularly good day to support trans mutual aid as a concrete way to fight back against the fuckers trying to take their healthcare and other rights away. 🧵 of a few groups, campaigns, and individuals you can donate to:

The NYT's anti-trans fear mongering was cited in a Supreme Court briefing that stripped away the rights of trans kids. They need to be fully blacklisted by queer people and their allies. Don't work for them. Don't use them for book press. Don't speak with them for stories. They made their bed.

All my love to fellow gender dropouts, to the trans folks, to the queers, to the gender deviants. They can't legislate you or me out of existence because someone just like us is being born right now. And that will keep happening. And we will do everything we can to build the world they need.

Okay. Deep breaths. Elbows up. We will survive this. If you need help today, if you're a trans kid, if you're struggling with suicidal thoughts, reach for community. Take action. Don't let them force you into learned helplessness. YOU MUST LIVE.

every trans life is valuable, there is no acceptable amount of loss of trans life. every loss of a trans life is a tragedy, not a statistic.

In light of today's SCOTUS ruling upholding Tennessee's ban on youth gender-affirming care, it would be amazing to see donations flood into OUTMemphis, the mid-south's longest-running LGBTQ+ org. OUTMemphis offers material and social support for trans kids and adults and has since 1989.

I'm so sorry to every trans kid (and trans adult) out there having to endure this. You don't deserve it. You belong. Also? You're stronger than all these withered-ass motherfuckers. Live to see them die.

It is really really sinking in for me the degree to which LLMs are the ultimate expression of right wing anti-intellectualism. Its proponents are literally mocking the idea that anyone would ever want to learn anything, know anything, develop any actual skill, or have a thought of their own.

This Fathers Day, please take some time to learn about and support parents caught in the carceral and family policing systems. They love their kids as much as you do, and have as much right to celebrate with them today.

They launched a coup, suffered no consequences for it, won back power, and have used the power to pardon everyone involved while remaking the country through violence and intimidation. It’s just ridiculous to talk about the political violence of yelling at ICE agents within that context.

For those of us who are disabled or prohibited from protesting for any reason, here are ways we can help. I can’t take a service dog to a protest, it’s unsafe for him but also for others around us. I can do some of these.
