The idea that pro-trans movements led to anti-trans sentiment is egregiously out of touch with reality. Increased LGBTQ representation led to historic shifts in public opinion toward the community. The aggressively bigoted and violent campaigns that lied about trans people are clearly responsible

🧵 I often talk about VDA, Verification, Deliberation, Accountability, as the core functions that make democracy possible. But to understand what’s gone wrong, we need to look at how those functions have changed.

Don’t use AI to identify whether or not a plant is edible. Don’t use AI to generate a trail route. Don’t use AI to create a recipe. Don’t use AI for creative work (it turns your brain into mush!). Maybe, like, don’t use AI!!

Asking because I'd like to read it. Has anyone written about the fact that the CEO "AI will rid us of pesky employees" came in the wake of one of the strongest markets for labor in the recent past?

Just the absolute worst time to decide to build a whole bunch of data centers. I have no room for anyone trying to justify this bullshit. We were already super fucked and now it’s even worse.

This video of Declan Rice’s two free kick goals against Real Madrid has so many angles. Both such brilliant strikes, I still get chills watching them.

This is something that most people will miss, because they're not in the profession and haven't ever really thought about historical knowledge is produced. But it's an incredibly important point.

Canadian Manuel Tapial, who is leading a delegation of the March to Gaza, is still missing after being dragged away by Egyptian police. Latest update from @yipengge.bsky.social: “Manuel Tapial’s whereabouts are currently unknown. It’s been almost 24 hours since he’s been detained.”

I understand why Democrats are being restrained about this but the right's effort to lie about what happened here is incredibly disrespectful to the victims and requires vociferous pushback. The shooter appears to have been an anti-abortion zealot and a Trump voter. Don't let them avoid this.

I remember when Trump bragged he would end the war against Palestine and Ukraine in "a matter of days". That was just 6 months ago.

Every band that Yankovic has done a style parody of should collaborate on a tribute album full of reverse parodies where they make serious versions of the style parodies he wrote. Except Devo. They should just do an exact note for note cover of Dare to be Stupid.

I've pieced together the jigsaw pieces the Russian troll factories have been including in their latest fake news X posts, and I think they're trying to tell me something. but I'm struggling to decipher their subtle message. Thanks to @antibot4navalny.bsky.social for providing the missing pieces.

cops doing crime on camera. as @chadloder.bsky.social has been pointing out all day, this is totally illegal. cops doing crime. on camera. adjust your stupid headlines accordingly.

There is no other context in which this would not be a “crime”. It’s hard to think of a clearer demonstration of how absolutely nothing the police do is “criminal”, because criminality is not actually defined by the act but by the actor. Ask yourself why this is allowed.

Big news from Big Gabi. Some words on a player on course for almost a decade of service at Arsenal. Pound for pound he is one of the best value deals in the Arteta era. First again to renew his contract - hopefully trendsetting! www.nytimes.com/athletic/640...

Farage is the worst of people. I had two emergency abortions after my tiny babies died but did not miscarry. Without those abortions, I could have died. My fertility could have been permanently affected. If Farage gets his way, women will die. #AbortionIsEssentialHealthcare #Women'sHealth
