Good news on this front! Seattle Worldcon will be refunding me my full membership. If you also applied to be a panelist and are pulling out of the con due to the genAI situation, contact their Registration team and cite the violations to the Privacy Policy in your request for a refund.

A "direct inverse correlation" between fluoride exposure and low IQ" means the more fluoride you get, the higher your IQ. What he's looking for is a "direct correlation," but he doesn't know what any of these words mean or how science works.

Okay so yes, technically, the universe is currently dominated by an invisible mysterious something which will probably destroy it in the very distant future, and new data suggests it might be changing in confusing ways, but on the bright side, the physicists have a LOT of cool new ideas to work with

participating in an organized boycott – not a haphazard, individual one – of a company as large as microsoft will always pose complex questions on a long enough timescale. but skipping the oblivion remaster weeks after bds declared microsoft a priority target? easy. a complete no brainer

Every grift reaches a point where it has to do a total 180 on its own content to maintain numbers, and has already done the risk assessment of alienating hardline supporters vs. potential gain of a momentary jump in engagement from a new audience. This isn't a "stopped clock is right…" instance.

I hope seeing Kilmar Abrego Garcia alive will convince some of you to stop preemptively declaring people dead. I know it comes from a place of fear, but cynicism and pessimism can demobilize people and lead folks to give up before a fight is lost. Let's not seed that attitude.

Guys, I love all of you, but the answer to RFK, Jr. is not that autistic adults hold jobs, pay taxes, and get laid, it's that everyone deserves to live even if they can't work, pay taxes, or get laid.

Just to clarify. Trans Lifeline. Fantastic charity. But only covers the US and Canada. If you want to help British trans people today. Consider donating to charities like Gendered Intelligence & the LGBT foundation.

If you stream or plan to stream Schedule 1 I super reccomend you read this thread so you can stay informed on why you may not want to support it! /gen /nm /info 💖 Also Schedule 1 has this achievement which feeds into beliefs and talking points that are directly hostile towards Native Americans.🤢

“Trump is illegally disappearing people. He is proposing abducting Americans. He must be removed from power. He no longer has authority.” And honestly that’s the weak version of what Democrats should be saying.

While there is a lot to say about this image, the thing that stands out to me the most - what IMO makes genAI a specifically right wing phenomenon - is the craving for approval. It is not enough to be able to generate robot lingerie warrior lady. They NEED to also be praised for doing it.

The past four Republican administrations have tanked the US economy. But I know multiple Democrats who include their pronouns in the footer of their emails. I have never felt more politically homeless.

This is precisely why I harp on the negative influence of reactionary centrists so often: Exaggerating the radicalism of the left gives voters permission to support the radicalism of the right. If both candidates are deranged fascist liars, why not support the one that's gonna cut your taxes?

I couldn't help it. And oh goodness the giggles I get when I read the tag, because if you're an anime watcher, you know the tone of voice I'm hearing in my head. Should I keep making them? I personally think so, but at the end of the day I want to make sure my art is wanted by all of you, too!
