Good news! OpenAI is canceling so many large purchase orders and datacenter expansions that the global price of RAM is dropping.

we talked with ed in this episode about how openai has not committed to any deals and that it would ultimately be revealed and collapse. i believed was true i didn’t think it would materialize less than 3 days later!

hi, cis folks! it’s been a little over a month since the 2 biggest private hospitals in NYC ended trans youth care. some folks thought this was resolved with a judge’s ruling or a letter from the NYAG. care has *not* resumed! there’s a simple ask ⬇️ for you, if you’re willing to fight with us. 🧵

Crime in the United States has dropped immensely in the last 35 years

Please give your ADHD’er friends grace. I promise we are trying. We’re trying harder than you can ever understand, and we’re enduring the pain best we can so that shit gets done eventually.

What’s interesting about ADHD is that tasks your brain doesn’t like (which is out of your control and can change daily) will feel physically painful to you in a way that’s hard to articulate. ADHD isn’t “work is boring”. It’s “My brain hates this tasks so much that it’s sending me pain signals”

There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series

Only 23% of government workers believe they “can report a suspected violation of a law, rule, or regulation without experiencing retaliation.” That's way down form the share the prior year (72%) who said they could report suspected illegal activity without fear www.thebulwark.com/p/two-more-g...

Even though my work was stolen, I don't qualify for this class action (because America is dumb). But if you do, looks like you could get paid more! The filing deadline is in a few days, so if you can file DO SO NOW! I can't get compensated but you should soak these fuckers for as much as you can

Good morning loves ❤️ Don't forget to not only be kind to others but also to yourselves. We can be our own worst critics, when in actuality we need to nurture and understand that not ever failure is a devastating setback. Growth is always possible.

Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez introduce bill to pause AI rollout amid growing backlash to technology.

if you are a bigot or support bigotry or act in a movie built on the profits of hate, people are allowed to not like you 1. because bigotry is bad and 2. because people generally DONT LIKE THINGS THAT HURT THEM. like this is so obvious. it is not 'canceling' it is an exercise in basic human autonomy

A viral dog rescue from 2016 is now immortalized with a statue in Kazakhstan. When a dog fell into the Sayran reservoir, bystanders formed a human chain to pull him to safety. The statue is a reminder of the value of unity, solidarity and collective action. 14/10 for all

My mental state these days

Meanwhile every cis couple under the sun expects people to be OK with the dragging their kids to functions regardless of the space "a child free wedding?!?! How Fucking dare you?" "what do you mean I can't bring my kid into the sex shop?" actual Experience I've had multiple times as an employee

FUN FACT: You personally interact with dozens, even hundreds of artists and storytellers on this website every day who dedicate 0% of their resources to directly harming trans people. Many of them have comics, or albums, or podcasts, or even fantasy novels available for your guilt-free enjoyment!

Every time I post about endometriosis and dare to make it, gender inclusive, I always get a lot of comments from people angry that I didn’t just say “women” And every time, I think about how Rowling has enough money to cure endometriosis forever. But she doesn’t actually give a fuck about women.

OH MY HEART...the Oberlin Luddites Reject "The Year of AI Exploration"! 💚

I'm not sure we have a more explicit example of an artist who said "hey, if you give me any money I will definitely go hurt this small group of people with it, so.... money please??" Some situations have nuance. She smashed all nuance with a sledgehammer years ago.

This is this kind of thing I want to highlight every time someone tells trans people they should just leave the US (for Canada or elsewhere). And go where? Assuming you could afford it and found a country accepting trans immigrants, this is happening almost everywhere. We need to STOP it.

I highly recommend this comic!

Gonna drop the gimmick for a second and explain, as a therapist. What you're describing is a phenomenon called Revenge Bedtime Procrastination. It's a subconscious habit that develops in which a person seeks dopamine-releasing behavior at night to exact "revenge" on the day which deprived them

Ah yes. The New pride flag.

They were trying and failing to get people to subscribe at $20/mo and each 60 second video was costing the company $15-18 in costs to make. That’s it, everybody, right there. That’s the Economics of AI. Visionary stuff.

Whatever entity hooked my sinuses up to the snot dimension can go DIAF. Ugh.

okay so AI is absolutely cratering imminently and I need all of you to PROMISE me you won't take the high road, and will laugh and rub it in their faces as much as possible. I need you to laugh and go 'WE TOLD YOU SO, BITCH" at every opportunity, PLEASE be extremely mean and ruthless

This has been an issue for a few years. Please keep it in mind this year!

Parents of sick kids: please don’t drag your offspring hacking and coughing all over stores. If you can’t teach them how to mask or cover their cough, at least don’t subject store employees (who can’t leave) and other customers to your germ factories. Yes, I’m being blunt.

When I first started making tiaras I did the elemental series. Fire always seemed to need a little more. I didn’t change it a lot but definitely made a few changes.

The brain drain in real time, let’s just outsource everything to chat bots! Having money does not make people smarter or lead to better decisions.

One of the trans folks I interviewed for this article isn't Catholic. Neither is their doctor. Or the clinic their doctor works at. Or their pharmacy. But their spouse has insurance through part of the church's massive healthcare networks, so their testosterone is now "non-approvable."

This is literally the only thing i have the bandwidth to read about today

It’s endometriosis awareness month, so sharing this is the least you could do for us

"It's none of my business," the woman said, "but..." The witch did not roll her eyes. "...I heard you gave the baker's gal fangs, and claws." "She asked." "You've made her a monster!" "Adding doesn't make you a monster. Removing does." "Removing what?" "Someone's right to be who they are."
