Boys. Guys. Fellas. Come on over here for a sec, I got some advice: You don't gotta. You really don't. I know you think you gotta, but what you actually got is a backlog of business you should be minding.

I had to go on Twitter to confirm this was real because Ship Awesome Games In A Weekend having a hand with six fingers was so on the nose I was about to pass out

AOC: "As AI begins to encroach in our society, their goal is to take your cognition away from you. AI's goal is to take your thoughts away from you, your ability to think away from you, so that you become dependent on a machine ... reading books is active resistance"

We don’t.

Rep. Delia C. Ramirez has introduced a bill that would abolish not just ICE, but the DHS altogether, repealing the 2002 law establishing the agency and replacing it with one focused on protecting civil and human rights.

TIL acid reflux can cause referred back pain. I started taking Omeprazole again today and realized my shoulder didn't hurt! 🤯 Figured I just kept hurting it. Oops 😅 www.verywellhealth.com/acid-reflux-...

Look, I've said it before, but I'll say it again: I don't care how thoughtful or important the work you are doing is. If you're on Substack I'm not clicking over there. Not even for your free content. I'll follow you here, I'll sign up for an email newsletter, but I'm not going to Nazi Blog Central.

This morning, the D&D team and Magic's Studio X informed our leadership of our intent to unionize. We love the games we make and the work we do, and unionizing is how we protect that work. unitedwizardsofthecoast.com/news/dnd-stu...

Whenever I mention 80,000 Hours I get questions like this, so to answer it all publicly: It's actually a whole lot worse than going for a quick buck. 80,000 Hours is a reputation-laundering machine for a fringe ideology's most dangerous tendencies.

I just honestly can't get over that Save Women Sports, an anti-trans group could only find five trans athletes competing K through 12. Five. The NCAA president testified a year and a half ago or so that there were less than 10 college level trans athletes. What the fuck are we doing, people

Every now and then I see myself referred to as an "AI Denier" and I want to be clear I acknowledge "AI" exists, it's just I think it's a massive energy drain, created from theft, implemented poorly for inappropriate tasks by loathsome tech executives who get hard at the idea of the rest of us dying

The AI industry wants you to say "the AI just did that thing on its own!" Like, United Health's AI that's denying a shitload of claims with a 90% error rate? They wanted you to think it's just the AI.

Eye popping. Court just unsealed Summary Judgment motions in New York Times v OpenAI / Microsoft. Easy to see why the AI companies had so many redactions (pink). Their own people wrote the lede for NYT, the "largest theft of labor in human history"... "more and more substitutive..." /1

Folks, this is a reminder that boycotting the NYT includes refusing to hate-share articles of theirs where they platform bad takes from transphobic politicians. Even clicking gift links gives them revenue. You do not need to angrily share their bs. In fact, it is actively *harmful* to do so.

Lot's of people view transphobia, misogyny, racism and other forms of discrimination only as a clear and direct hateful actions performed by certain individuals and not a passive spread out behavior ingrained within society. So whenever you point out those passive forms of discrimination they call-

I used to frame this as: If we could pass a constitutional amendment guaranteeing trans people access to comprehensive gender-affirming healthcare, the bathroom of their choice, etc., in exchange for us giving up sports, do you think the people who don't want trans people in sports would go for it?

People get confused about the trans sports thing because at a glance it seems like a small issue that impacts a very small number of people and thus makes sense as a "reasonable" concession. But it isn't, because conceding that is accepting that a kid's trans identity is on some level fraudulent

I wont be watching it either. thetab.com/filmshrine/2...

Procreate confirms it has NO plans to add generative AI features to its apps. The company continues to stand firmly against integrating generative AI into its creative tools.

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

"Where's the call to do so?"

"If trans people want a boycott of The New York Times, where's the call to do so?" Here is a declaration laying out how the NYT is a key driver of trans genocide, why boycotts work and why anyone who gives a damn about trans lives and rights must boycott The New York Times.

"It should not have to be said that no word puzzle app is more important than our lives. No amount of recipes, book reviews and “serious” journalism are worth our rights to exist, as ourselves... These things can all be found elsewhere, in better quality and far less stained by our blood."

I ran a "debloat your PC" app people had recommended, and it uninstalled both Slack and Microsoft Teams, and like, look, I love the enthusiasm, and I'm not saying you're WRONG, but I do still gotta get paid.

A dark day for human rights.

If your project is so destructive and unpopular that you need to have people arrested for the audacious crime of clapping at a public meeting, your product is garbage and they arrested the wrong person.
