a lot more people on here should be a lot quicker with the block button your internet browsing device is a device that you own and works for you! if there is something annoying you, you can just have it not show you that thing. problem solved!!

They called the cops on this 3-year-old Black boy because he was kickin the white kids' ass on the soccer field.

Any one of you who still thinks there is a single bit of difference between this place and X is in for a rude, rude awakening

Using AI is almost certainly harmful to us cognitively, emotionally, creatively, and socially. We should not use it. We should not normalize it.

@jevbot.bsky.social are people who like using language models for code and prose evil, or are they merely brain damaged?

i think about this post all the time. you might too

Before I transitioned, my boss told me I should speak up more in meetings because I always had really good contributions After I transitioned, my boss told me in my performance review that I needed to be very sure I wasn’t talking over people in meetings and be sure to keep my tone positive

Enjoy the camps, bluesky devs!

I love having a social (network) credit score I can’t see

We were thrown in the shit and WE fought back. What have YOU done. Attend two No Kings protests?

That's what I want to hear, rather than "Be reasonable. We're not going to restore all your rights right away, but you have to vote for us bc the other guys will kill you."

I'd like cis Democrats to say "We're in a position to win a lot of ground in this election, and we'd never be in this position if it weren't for the trans community's strength and leadership under pressure."

You know what I'd like? I'd like cis Democrats to say "thank you." "Thank you for being the moral center of our movement." "Thank you for refusing to go quietly." "Thank you for fighting ICE. Thank you for forming coalitions with other communities under threat."

Trans people have fought and suffered and borne the brunt of the depravity of fascist excess (along with immigrants and Black people), and it looks like the most we can hope for is a decade or more fighting Democrats to restore rights we had in every state in the union as recently as 2020.

personally I think we should just take the ai doomers at their word and shut it down if they’re telling the truth, well, good thing we shut it down. If they’re exaggerating, well, they shouldn’t have done that

if language models are so great at coding why isn’t the software getting better instead of worse?

hey @1password.bsky.social it’s a huge pain in the pass that I gotta switch password manager because you decided to support a terrorism-inciting extremist Any chance you could like Not do that? Thanks

This morning, @evanurquhart.bsky.social returns to the subject of SF Trans March. The march went viral after a politician was forced to leave, but families with trans children fleeing police officers charging them with weapons drawn never reached a wide audience. assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

One of the more bizarre findings per this map is that Seattlelites just don’t address people

I have been pretty outspoken about Mr. Mamdani wrt trans youth care so I will definitely post to celebrate that this is definitely Doing Something! maybe yelling at politicians can sometimes work www.erininthemorning.com/p/mayor-mamd...

On the other hand, when Jennicet Gutiérrez asked Obama to end the abuse of trans women in ICE detention and stop all deportations, while at a White House Pride event in 2015, Obama mocked her to her face and she was thrown out and briefly detained.

if you believe your body is too precious to throw upon the gears of the apparatus grinding up your neighbors, don't be stepping forward to represent your neighbors to the apparatus. none of us should have to give a shit how scared for themselves they are or aren't. they're welcome to resign.

I run a support group for a local trans org. Several of our attendees still present masculine in their daily life despite being transfem, including having dysphoria beards/mustaches. Being trans does not prevent you from having internalized transphobia, or from using it to hurt other trans folks.

(to the tune of Ophelia by The Lumineers) 🎼TRAAAA-AAANS🎶PHOOOOOO🎵BI-AAAAAA🎶 (i am aware pattie gonia’s non-drag pronouns are he/him, this is still WILDLY awful towards the many closeted transfems i know)

Lying to corporations doesn't count as lying. I mean that. It's absurd to hold people to any kind of ethical standard short of, like, doing actual murder (and even then, iffy) when they're trying to protect themselves from or fight a corporate entity.

Her swimming career was far from exceptional; she did not come close to dominating in the sport, and is famous for a race where she tied 5th and was beaten by 4 other women. 2/2

The 'panic' around Lia Thomas was about creating a target people could point at while demanding exclusion. So much of what people “know” about Lia comes from manufactured outrage and years of misinformation repeated without context. We commissioned this comic to break down the actual story. 1/2

it’s genuinely really funny how once people on this site run out of points to make they just start quote-dunking and posting gifs maybe they should add features people want to use instead of ones they turn to when they’re frustrated

this is intolerance but dudes openly advocating for trans genocide is okie dokie mOdErAtIoN

[youth pastor voice] you know who else has the sign of the cross

hard same

Every trans suicide is a murder.

you have to be such a moron to leave your garden planet to work on moron rock colonized by billionaires lmao

Time to admit the experiment has failed. If higher ed has any chance of survival in this environment, universities will immediately begin reconsidering the positions of decision makers who felt they knew better than faculty and sold their schools to venture capital.

The college grads in open revolt against pro-AI speakers is a reminder that this isn’t about a failure to adopt technology. These students are the first generation to have had language models throughout their college experience. No one wants it. They want an education, not a four year sales pitch.
