New Power User episode out with @jasonkoebler.bsky.social about Massive Blue, the company helping cops deploy AI-powered social media bots to gather intel

My new video, Notes on Vanishing, is out now. I keep returning to an unthinkable question: is it time for trans people to make ourselves disappear? Enjoy 🌃 youtu.be/cqhiup5qSY8

400 employees laid off at EA, while the CEO took home $25.6 million in pay last year. This isn't an issue of money. It's one of power and unaccountable CEOs. With a strong union in your workplace, we can change this. Work in the UK games industry? Join our union today: iwgb.org.uk/en/join/game...

EJ makes a good point about test balloons. youtu.be/3YwVkDvpM7g I don't think you should get a diagnosis if you can manage rn, but it's up to you.

Dare I say that having an echo chamber that makes people more progressive is actually a good thing. Dare I say it

🏳️‍⚧️ NEW 🏳️‍⚧️ We believe the Supreme Court – which disgracefully refused to hear from trans people before its decision last week – has placed the UK in breach of its obligations under the Human Rights Act. So we’re readying a challenge – join us: goodlaw.social/xpme

Was going to post about a headline I saw, but then I remembered the purpose of the culture war is to distract and divide us. Peace, love, and solidarity.

This statement about the transphobic Supreme Court ruling by the UK's Crab Museum (yes a museum about crabs) is better than 99% of the statements I've seen on the topic www.crabmuseum.org/visit 🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀

My YT channel is back! Kinda... give it a minute or so to update...

Go check out Summer Eternal

Megathread of pro-trans petitions on Parliament’s petition website. If Labour suddenly gets hit with debates for a bunch of pro-trans petitions, maybe they’ll realise this issue isn’t going away and they’ve fucked up. I’ll add more as I find them. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

Why are pseudointellectuals insisting war is over when the world is on fire? Today we come for Kurzgesagt, and the crank-in-chief Steven Pinker

Fuck TERF Island.

My analysis of today's UK Supreme Court judgment. The UK Supreme Court Rules That Trans Women Aren't Women Under the Equality Act 2010 www.wearequeeraf.com/uk-supreme-c...

Having read the news today, I think it's worth remembering that we are not at the end of history, but in the middle of it. We have time to make things better

The solution to the poor treatment of mothers and other primary caregivers in our society isn't to venerate motherhood as a sacred magical act that makes mothers better than everyone else. It's robust labor protections and social safety net systems. Most problems are like this. youtu.be/r6-4_vMWN1M

NEW VIDEO! Work or Die: Labour's War on Disabled People The labour party has decided to maintain the same neoliberal institutional death process initiated by John Major youtu.be/Rk9WgnIzyfo?...

The United Videogame Workers union is open to any gaming worker in the US and Canada and will focus on industry-wide job loss.

My latest loloverruled.substack.com/p/the-violen...

aftermath.site/ai-video-gam... Here's a quote from the article that I vibe with: "When I’m told 'Think of how much time you could be spending instead on making the actual game!', those who have drank the AI Kool-Aid don't understand that all this brainstorming and iteration is making the game"

SCOOP: YouTube removes 'gender identity' from hate speech policy. "YouTube quietly removing ‘gender identity and expression’ from its list of protected groups is a major radical shift away from best practices in the field of trust and safety."

From today's usermag.co newsletter. I would call YT / Google cowards for this, but it goes beyond that. Everything they do at that company is in the name of profit. Scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds.

Okay so I made a video. youtu.be/OOK5xkFijPc

My friends in the IWGB are going on strike, if you have the means to help them, please do actionnetwork.org/fundraising/... They are seeking a pay rise to £16 per hour, union recognition, and fair compensation for night shifts

new video youtu.be/teqkK0RLNkI?...

My pet theory on this is that this belief is caused by people interacting with their phone cameras more than mirrors, leading them to believe that mirrors behave like cameras. Or videosgame, where the mirror is built with a camera.

loved this video essay by @endvertex.bsky.social, it's super well made <3 www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4md...

A young computer scientist and two colleagues show that searches within data structures called hash tables can be much faster than previously deemed possible.

To the few people who follow me from YT, I've hidden the channel as I got a second copyright strike. I'll put it back up in 40 days. In the meantime I'm going to keep posting the daily shorts on the discord: discord.gg/BaPrcATvZC ❤️

We should be more scared of measles. Worth noting that things are going downhill so quickly, I now need to update these videos in the days between recording and posting. In this case, a 2nd person died & the father of the dead child has announced he's still anti-vax. skepchick.org/2025/03/we-s...

Late night thought with Jano: At least with C++ the program will break in the correct place when something goes wrong. It won't carry on and behave strangely. Just this week - why is the behaviour script not working? Didn't have a hitbox. Idk, I'm new to Unity, maybe you can get it to stop on NREs

not buying anything for one day but vaguely leftishly

I finally finished the UK's AI consultation. There are 10 days left before the deadline. More advocation: @wearequeeraf.com are doing a fundraiser www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/queeraf2025 I quite like independent journalism :D

Can't believe the amount of heat we used to get for downloading an mp3 when every tech company is downloading the sum total of human expression to sell a scromited version back to us

new Alt-Right Playbook is live! DOUBLEWRONG - a collaboration with @theabigailthorn.bsky.social, wherein we talk about how people can be rhetorically STRONGER by being wrong on two fronts instead of one, through the lens of trans healthcare. youtu.be/IqeFeqInoXc
