Yeah, you don't generally come out as something that, at minimum, risks harassment and ostracization without being pretty solidly confident in your identity.

This is gonna make a lot of people angry and I am very here for it.

On the subject of people traveling to the US right about now: Fuck, if I were from another country and I didn't need to come, I sure as hell wouldn't, the current administration has made it clear traveling here isn't safe, and why not take them at their word, there's a whole world to visit

Dang, it's a real shame that Sarah Wynn-Williams can't promote her own book, "Careless People: A Cautionary Tale of Power, Greed, and Lost Idealism". Makes one wonder why Zuckerberg wants it out of the spotlight. If only there was some book one could read to give insight into his motives here. 🤔

So let me get this straight: you want to train your AI on copyrighted works for free with no credit given to the creators you're training your models on...and then also turn around and charge people to use said AI? Seems very reasonable and like something that should definitely be legal. (/s)

You love to see it. But we can do better.

Side note, if anyone ever wants a good trans perspective on the experience of figuring out gender identity and transitioning in comic form, I highly recommend this comic by @azulcrescent.bsky.social. www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/i-...

Tbh, this is broadscope how it seemed my cousins handled their sister transitioning. Just makes it all the more baffling that some people apparently lack the ability to just...let people be people.

Ya know, you can make your daily walking distance significantly more impressive if you factor in your pre-existing momentum from the earth's orbit. Though I guess it's probably best that we don't if only for The Proclaimers' sake. 500 miles is a little underwhelming added on to ~1.6 million.

Legitimately, this is an excellent idea and exactly the sort of thing that needs to happen right now. There's a reason Gaslight - Obstruct - Project has become a common stand in for what the acronym GOP used to mean. Misinformation is their primary weapon. Fight it.

Wonder if he realizes he just justified any and all efforts to remove him from power. After all, if it’s to “save the country” it wouldn’t be violating any laws.

Satire is dead. Reality has become immune to parody.

One extra little thing that's not getting much attention amidst everything else: it looks like Kendrick Lamar may also have snuck in a trans flag reusing the outfits used to make the American flag. Lamar does have two trans family members, so it'd be a clever way of getting past the censors.

Super Bowl lesson: Stopping an arrogant Chief from a third term is probably a good move for America right now.

thank you to Kendrick and the Eagles for making terrible people angry tonight

For the record, if this legitimately is Musk’s goal (instead of just, you know, a coup and/or mass chaos), it only further exemplifies how much of a moron he is. Anyone who works with AI can tell you it’s not taking anyone’s job anytime soon.

Nothing like a good snow storm to remind you that swasticars are really not designed with Minnesota winters in mind.

It's funny to me how often I see transphobes complaining that "everyone these days is confused about their gender!" Hate to break it to you, but the only people confused about the gender of trans people...are transphobes. While it's a journey, most trans people know *exactly* what their gender is.

I'm going to be blunt: issuing executive orders that will reduce the size of our military while threatening military actions against our allies is treasonous behavior, pure and simple.

If you see this, post your top 10 games: (I'm terrible at this) 1. FFXIV 2. Stellaris 3. Skyrim 4. Mass Effect Trilogy (esp 2/3) 5. Crusader Kings 2/3 6. Our Life: Beginnings & Always 7. Age of Empires II + Clones 8. Civilization IV 9. Baldur's Gate 3 10. Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker

Damn. Costco's never really appealed to me as a single person but uh, more of this please?
