As we all have been saying for ages this is the only way a bathroom bill can work: If one of JK Rowling's hate-filled cultists thinks you or your mum doesn't look sufficiently feminine then they will post your photos online and try to ruin your life. They will target trans and cis people alike.

Trillar in på Surfers i Visby under Almedalsveckan. Sist jag gjorde det var det en för mig helt främmande kvinna på Rättviseförmedlingens event som tog ett skamgrepp på mig 🤷‍♂️

By the time you’ve reached your forties you will have lived to see the newspapers that insisted that the country you grew up in was on the verge of social collapse portray those very same years of your youth as a period of blissful social cohesion.

I love Bluesky because I wake up and feel existentially and philosophically seen by poasters like @pwnallthethings.bsky.social.

I suspect that fact that the vast majority of LLM users don’t seem to have received this (really very simple!) message is because the AI companies have a vested interest in us not understanding it. “ChatGPT is smart, it just makes mistakes sometimes” is much more marketable than the truth.

Gileads medicin som i praktiken stoppar HIV-smitta från att överföras, genom injektion två gånger per år, har godkänts i USA! Riktigt goda nyheter. EU väntas också godkänna inom allt för länge.

I know that this is not the most important thing right now, but I would just like to reiterate my very important point that Netenyahu has been 43 years old since 1996.

recalling when I worked at the flight school and a wayward turtle walked onto the runway and a pilot said so, then a guy in a golf cart went out there, moved the turtle, and radioed "the turtle has been revectored", a phrase that has been seared into my brain for life

We take a shitload of steps to block scrapers, and I mean a FUCKING SHITLOAD of steps that we're constantly tweaking and spend hours on per week, and our server load is still up about 75% from two years ago with only a slight increase in MAU. This problem is fucking huge.

Your semi-regular reminder that @altnps.bsky.social is 100% pure LARPing BlueAnon grift that's unsourced theft of other reporting at best and active disinformation at worst and you should not give them a single bit of attention

1. ~ 50% of all Israelis are Mizrahi Jews. This person is obviously ignorant. 2. I'd be hard pressed to find something more antisemitic and vile than to say that a couple (my parents), both of whom are children of Holocaust survivors, must "go back to Europe".

“Historically, no one lived past age 35” "I’ve heard so many versions of this claim, including recently from a menopause doctor (implying menopause is not “natural” because noone lived long enough to go through it). Every time someone states this “fact,” a demographer loses a piece of their soul"

is it time to bust out my "bigfoot is bears" photo collection again? if your mental image of a bear is a thick-furred, fat glossy male bear in autumn, you're probably not prepared for how weird their proportions can look in spring, or when walking upright, like they frequently do.

The thing about science is when it works, people don't realise it because it just eliminates the problem. Take quicksand. In the 80s it was a HUGE issue, it was everywhere. Now its mostly eradicated and we barely give it a thought, but ask any kid from the 80s, they'll tell you what it was like then
