every 'moderate' journalist who spent the last half a decade mainstreaming anti-trans rhetoric should never be allowed to forget that there is blood on their hands

There are no distractions. It's all bad. Systematically stripping trans people of their rights, guys in balaclavas shoving any brown person with a tattoo into a ummarked vans, ending healthcare for millions. It's all in service of fascism and technofeudalism. It's all one thing. That's the point.

Nothing sums up the state of affairs for transgender Americans quite like the US Supreme Court denying trans people life-saving healthcare at the same time that the Trump administration shuts down suicide prevention programs for LGBTQ people. These bastards want us all dead.

Also cannot be emphasized enough: Barack Obama successfully negotiated the shutdown of Iran's nuclear program. It exists today because Trump deliberately tore up that agreement. The deaths happening right now can be laid at his door.

another hidden/externalized cost and form of theft in AI is the bots for Meta etc are blowing up site hosting charges of pages they're looting for information to take credit for. profits go to meta and others, made possible by costs spread to all the operators of sites they're crawling to steal from

i don't think there's a more self defeating anti-piracy system than streaming sites that don't let you take screenshots. i am trying to talk about your product on social media! for free! and you're making that logistically difficult just in case i'm dedicated enough to do it 30 times a second!

It’s 2025, we’ve seen enough photos of live giant squids that people can stop giving them those dead, glassy eyes in video games and movies and stuff and make them look like the shifty bitches they truly are

ok I feel completely insane asking this but like weren't we NOT blowing up rockets, like, 50 years ago. weren't we successfully sending rockets up that did not rattle apart. also weren't we like "ah yeah that was a fail" when the rocket fell apart instead of calling it a "partial success"

Marvel could pay for my healthcare for the rest of my life for a fraction of 1% of profit from Spider-Man Noir, a character whose original comics I edited. For Peter David to die in medical debt, co-creator of Spider-Man 2099 and writer of countless seminal Hulk and X-Factor comics—that's a disgrace

YES. "Control is funny because it looks at the way all offices affect the people who work within them - how the creeping of weird rules and weird ways of being is slow and measured and often hard to spot. [Its comedy] comes from how that quietly insane hierarchy in turn warps ordinary people."

Full disclosure: I was up at the wee hours past midnight helping my very good friend Eric through this bill after he flagged the language for me. If you want to support the only journalist who was up late last night asking lawmakers about trans Americans, PLEASE share this story.

The pitch is never that AI will fold the laundry for us, it's always that AI will remove the good stuff from our lives. Picking a birthday present for my kid isn't a box I check, it's something I want to do, and six months later when that's the stuffy she sleeps with I get to feel good about that.

The big “why do you hate AI?” Thread got comments and quotes turned off, but here’s the main reason I hate AI: It’s being developed by the worst people on the planet solely to enrich themselves at the expense and labor of the world’s vulnerable populations. Everything else stems from that

Was at a conference dinner a while back and one guy said "The future is AI. It doesn't replace senior developers, but no more need for juniors." To which i replied: "Where do you think senior developers come from. Straight from the womb?" He went quiet, then wandered off to a different huddle.

I genuinely don't know how to process this. It seems unthinkable that deliberate, calculated mass starvation is just... happening. In full view. It's impossible and yet real.

I understand why people look at it this through this lens but Trump has had a hard on for energy star since his first term. He went on rants about dishwashers needing to use more water. And I never knew why. Like does anyone think Trump is loading his own dishwasher

Ah, but that's just it: the oligarchs don't want more innovation. They want the current wealth & power structure to be frozen in place for as long as possible, and they think that removing a building's structural support is the best way to preserve your spot on the top floor.

The Polygon sale is pretty bad news about Vox as a whole, I think. Liquidating a successful asset into quick cash says they have no confidence in the future of the business.

I feel like we haven't been harsh enough on the 58 Democrats who voted for the Laken Riley Act. What an insanely evil and politically stupid thing to do as Trump began his mass deportation campaign. They endorsed all of this, and it wasn't like it was an unforeseeable outcome.

No trans people were consulted on this decision that only affects trans people. In fact trans people were actively barred from consulting on this decision that only affects trans people. But transphobic bigots? Oh they got consulted for days. Fucking grim. I'm absolutely fuming.

The great thing about fighting back against this stuff is that if you end up losing anyway you get the same outcome you’d have gotten from complying but you don’t have to fucking hate yourself too.

I used to select Dem primary candidates based on policy. Now I will aggressively try to destroy any Dem who says "we need to look forward not backward" and fervently support anyone who says "I will see these motherfuckers prosecuted and jailed if it's the last thing I do."

Columbia gives Trump basically all he asks for, fires their president when it seems she may not comply fast enough, and then still gets all its remaining funding frozen. These demands are not good-faith demands about antisemitism. They are efforts to break universities.

No digital records are permanent. Modern tech has improved speed, size/density, but isn't meant to be used as long-time storage. And even old, more reliable media has to be regularly copied for preservation by specislists. They are celebrating the destruction of crucial archival systems.

Susan Crawford wins the Wisconsin Supreme Court election, according to many election analysts. This after Elon Musk and others poured millions into anti-transgender advertisements in the state. The anti-trans panic failed in Wisconsin. This is a major victory for LGBTQ+ people in the state.

Whenever people talk about liking shorter shows because "it gets rid of filler" I ask them to imagine Avatar the Last Airbender with 8 episode seasons. Award-winning shows like that are being left on the cutting room floor because some stories just can't be told that succinctly.
