I've said it before but the major disconnect between trans people and our oppressors is that we treat healthcare as an issue of autonomy, whereas the cis medical authorities treat it at best as a sort of palliative care for an incurable "disease".

Not only is everyone's favourite rube, the British state, still committed to carbon capture and storage - which simply does not work - but they're committing 24bn which now isn't going to solar and wind, things we know will make a difference. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

theguardian.comUK spending on ‘fairytale’ carbon capture tech is a national embarrassment, chancellor toldChris Packham says £24bn earmarked for projects with ‘ludicrously uncertain results’ should be redirected to help lower bills and cut emissions

He is the President and he has been breaking the law with impunity, over and over and then flaunting it in public. The Supreme Court has said the only way to punish him is impeachment. Not impeaching sends the message that any president anytime in the future can do whatever the fuck they want.

They already did that twice and removal or revolution still didn't occur. By all means, say it's the principle of the thing and hell, I'll even agree with you, but that's all it is. Some GOP senators genuinely agree with him and some just think he'll kill them if they impeach but same result.

Trump: The fake news only covered the ass part. They said 'what the hell was Trump doing talking about a man's anatomy? He was talking about his ass.' I studied his ass to see where the power came from

Obviously, an interview like this is the start of a campaign soft launch, so I think it’s fair to say this. Kamala Harris not being at the vanguard of Team Fight is disqualifying.

It’s vastly underated that one of the main reasons the far right hate Zelenskyy so much is he stayed & fought for what he believes in while they go from posting like this to fleeing the country within 48 hours

Very funny to see ChatGPT replicating the failure state of government bureaucracy ("go to your local librarian" being the answer to needing help with anything)

Jason Koebler@jasonkoebler.bsky.social

In the last few weeks i've been bombarded with emails from people who have minor tech support problems. ChatGPT is telling them to email me, writing their emails, and compiling "evidence packets" after convincing them they have stumbled on a major story: www.404media.co/chatgpt-keep...

This post was based off my experience at that exact WeWork shown in the movie. The couch they had their interview on was the spot I sat in. bsky.app/profile/harr...

Harris Foster@harris.zone

The one time I visited a WeWork I sat at a table by some windows that overlooked the city. That turned out to be a big mistake because every 10 minutes a new dude would take the loudest call on his AirPods and gaze out this window with his hands on his hips in a “I’m gonna own this town” kinda way.

A part of this not mentioned is that Texas used to let kids transition. I volunteered at a camp for trans kids in Houston when I was in college (pre transition I know I know how did I not know I was trans). Guess where part of that camp was? Texas Children’s. That’s how much we lost

He obviously really cares about being perceived as “classy,” if only when it comes to decor, and you’d think he’d have picked up something by sheer osmosis, but no. He still has the aesthetic sensibility of Powerball Winner Homer Simpson.

"trump raped more people than expected" lacks the eye-grabby novelty and sociological depth of "in red state diner trump supporter supports trump" or "president's behavior presidential"

Also, I'd love to know how two different stories -- each written by three reporters, with no overlap in the authors -- managed to find Jolene Riessen and make her the stand-in for apolitical Iowa farmers.

There are only two explanations for the NYT's habit of presenting GOP operatives and donors as true swing voters: 1. Their reporters and editors are somehow incapable of running a simple Google searches, showing just a staggering level of journalistic incompetence 2. They want to the GOP to win

I had Argon make this 53s video on Turek using archival footage snippets, for the following reasons: 1) It's important to understand the capabilities available to lab insiders using limiters-off frontier LLMs 2) In hopes of turning his anti-trans ad into a clear liability, pour encourager les autres

hikikomorphism@hikikomorphism.bsky.social

I've found the exact timestamp match and confirmed that argon is correct that they're the same videos. Before I set argon on this I hadn't realized that the specific clip he chose for his anti-trans ad as an example of democrats going "too far" was from an Epstein files hearing - odd, that!

As a reminder, "It's a red flag for a government to start persecuting its critics" does not mean "if someone is a political opponent of the sitting government you can never ever ever hold them accountable for trying to do election interference or human rights violations when they last had power"

RFK decided to once again target maskers in a speech, laughing about going to LA and seeing people driving in their cars while masked. And I want to make sure people know that studies have shown that the reason someone might wear a mask in their car is that it's none of your fucking business.

Out of religious modesty, women wore the "pilgrim hats" properly 'capotains' (which never had buckles), some of which were flat-topped, other sugarloaf. I guess we can't rule out pointy versions, but it's probably a historical misunderstanding. "Witches" were just well-dressed older women.

The US is not about to have a free and fair election. The state has put its thumb on the scale to favor the ruling party in multiple ways. It's a mostly free, somewhat unfair election. But still one where the ruling party can be overwhelmed by numbers. Hence the term "competitive authoritarianism."

Asawin Suebsaeng@swin24.bsky.social

It is atrocious we have to operate under this constant credible and explicit threat from one political party, the fact we keep calling it a “free and fair election” needs some light revising
