perfect, no notes

A/C repair tech at our house: “Sooo, what’s with all of the Monkey Island stuff?” Boy, was he surprised.

The right wing is weird about trans women who get bottom surgery. The right wing is weird about trans women who DON’T get bottom surgery. The right wing is weird about trans women literally doing anything. There is no point in “appeasing” them.

I know a lot of British trans people are worried by the NHS segregation announcement. Sharing How To get Out again, it should be of use if you're wondering whether it's time to leave. New edition in the works btw. transrescue.org/how-to-get-out

Someone said this on another forum, and if's true. Prepare for an angry Daily Mail piece squeaking about how trans people get "VIP treatment" for being left to die in simgle rooms under Labour's segregated NHS.

I dont want to hear shit about how trans people need to accept "reasonable compromises" puberty blockers instead of hrt for minors *was* the compromise 2 years hrt and hormone testing requirements for trans women athletes *was* the compromise taking more of our rights away is not "reasonable"

Some days you think, “Surely I can’t get more angry,” and then the world proves you wrong. 🫂 to all those caught up in all this

Easy humble brag mode engaged. Go to your camera roll. & search for “boat”. Post the one you like.

The people putting this guidance in place see this as a positive outcome; or even the goal of it.

“The internet is a store but it used to be a library” hits me like a slug to the chest

We lived through the Robot Wars. So many of our generation still gripped by visceral fear when they hear the “Awoooga” call.

"NHS England is about to learn the cost of betrayal, inflation adjusted for 2026." - Alicia Trevelyan, probably

The Forstater judgment kind of broke equalities law. What do you mean transgender people have to accept that some of their colleagues might not "believe in" them?

“Some of your colleagues may not believe in gravity, but if this is a philosophical belief then it may be protected under the Equality Act” Doesn’t stop it being wrong, and shouldn’t mean the organisation mandates pushing people out of windows and down lift shafts.

“Wave goodbye to the culture wars”… on the day trans people were officially segregated in the NHS and the day before civil servant guidance officially segregated trans people as well? Seems more like welcoming with open arms.

I hate everything about this idea. I'm going to hell and there's no suspension on this ride.

Your agentic bull in a china shop broke it? You bought it.

It makes me wonder if this is what scares some of the anti-trans people - that if they were to be put on HRT they'd actually like it.

Uh oh, did someone’s website and personal account experience a big drop in activity after Ukraine hit a Russian data center?

Anyone in the UK who has an appointment with Dr Khoosal will know of how horrrifically inappropriate the assessment questions were.

Abolish the gender clinics. Move it into primary care, specified in the GP contract (or abolish the whole private GP system and bring it into the NHS). Move to informed consent, GPs have sufficient training for HRT and monitoring, they just choose not to.

The huge number of deaths by trans people under the care of NHS gender clinic shows that it is time more people with lived experience become involved in governance and oversight of NHS gender clinics. It is also time the NHS was forced to maintain proper patient records.

You know the xkcd strip about how all modern internet architecture is eventually built on something a hobbyist maintains for free? Someone went out and found them all. sheets.works/data-viz/hol...

When they announced they were delaying the publishing for a month, it was obvious this was the outcome. They needed time to work out the messaging and rework it meet the narrative they wanted to push.

I thought I was going to the Picturehouse Cinema to watch the Jet Lag The Game finalé, didn’t expect to end up in The Snack Zone.

Of all the WW2 underwater explosions I wanted to see this week, this is the second most disappointing.

And for those in the UK... The Computer Misuse Act 1990.

The right wing: We should forcibly castrate migrants. Also the right wing: Let’s stop trans people willingly getting castrated.

If I setup some Metasploit script with a bunch of custom payloads and random targets which ends up hacking a government website, can I also just say: "Oopsy boopsy! My machine just did that itself!" And walk away without consequence? Or will that be considered a serious crime I'm responsible for?

plenty of people run llm based agents with powerful models and do not end up hacking anyone. this is not an ai alignment problem, it is an openai being routinely criminally negligent as a company problem
