“The right’s gripe isn’t just that trans people exist, but that their existence is tearing down the old world” It’s such a brittle world if trans people existing is able to make it crumble, isn’t it?

Love this so much. 💜

Bingo. Corporate welfare is the real welfare you should be talking about.

Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year. UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year. Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Have you reminded your friend today? #takeyourmeds #art #comic #goat #bunny

Actual causes of death in the US and media coverage of same. And then we wonder why people have such a skewed understanding of the world. @ourworldindata.org is a treasure. Thanks, @hannahritchie.bsky.social and colleagues. ourworldindata.org/does-the-new...

For all the talk around AGI, I think there’s a higher probability that humans will create an actual artificial intelligence and not recognize it is such because too different from them. Because still fundamentally nobody has defined what it means, and most people use their own preferred definition.

Got to chat with @folletto.bsky.social for the 26th episode of the ux matto show. My favorite part was Erin correcting me (correctly!) about my US-centric mentality. Noted! :)

Seems like a good time to make my first post here. Yes, it’s all true.

the internet would not be what it is today without porn. porn was the biggest money maker on the internet for years before the big corps took over. furthermore, sex work is real work. Sex Workers created the content for the above. Pay them.

If your company has work that can be done from home but requires people to come in, that's a failure of leadership, not proximity.

BREAKING: Starbucks workers have launched a massive, nationwide strike. Baristas in 40 cities have walked off the job on the busiest day of Starbucks' year. Upwards of 12,000 @sbworkersunited.org members could ultimately go on strike as the union escalates.

Workers with @kickstarterunited.org end their six-week strike victorious, enshrining 4-day work weeks and salary floors while also adding protections against gen AI replacing human labor.

I wonder why all these lines flex down in the very last bit except 45+ women? (…also “younger” being up to 44… 😅)

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

This is exactly why my mantra for years uses been: single source of truth. Doesn’t even have to be the best tool. Just the tool where everything converges.

Bye Spotify.

Do you have that thing that always reminds you of a friend? #duck #comic #art #ghost #friend

Yup. The people shoveling money to hit trans people don’t just narrowly hate trans people, it’s part of a much wider strategy to make society regress to a stronger caste and oligarchic system, heavily beneficial to white cis men. Their wins against trans people set precedent to much worse to come.

If someone is warning you about fascism and they’re on Substack they’re asking you to do something they’re not willing to do.

Yes but you see in the Monopoly game they are playing “B$” is an abstract unit. It doesn’t mean anything anymore in terms of food or housing. It’s just a quantity to play the “Buy a company” card or the “Make a deal” card.

Did you know the tech industry has: - 10% higher turnover rate - 2 x the national average of neurodivergent people And - 53% of tech workers when directly asked will say they're neurodivergent -

New York millionaires: threatening to flee the city since 2009

Superb summary of some key points on AI.

This. No notes.

Worth pointing out the biggest supporters of trans people (which is who bigots mean by “gender ideology”) are bisexual & lesbian women. All the public “concerns” about trans people (phase, indoctrination, regret, etc) are recycled forms of homophobia. This is why LGB solidarity with the T is strong.

remember this: tyrrany requires constant effort. it breaks. it leaks. authority is brittle. remember this: try.

Mamdani going so hard for trans right and winning is some juicy proof that every dem that abandoned us didn’t do it for politically advantageous reasons. They did it because they’re transphobes and they will lose for it

Looking forward to learning all about how the right should move left to win elections tomorrow. They should maybe dye their hair pink, learn to love pronouns.

“The path already walked is the best. We won’t move, maybe we even take a few steps back” states one group. “Let’s keep walking forward” argues the other group “we need to talk to agree where to go”. The first group shakes their head “We are obviously the best choice, as we know where we stand”.

They gutted the Washington Post. CBS. NYT. Now Teen Vogue. The point isn't to bring in more conservatives. They've reached that saturation point. They are killing the fourth estate and buying up the social media to control the messages we see. These were all targeted to disarm the left of truth.

Unorthodox approach to fixing housing prices but hey, if it works it works. Now, we need to figure out where to put all the external doduses.

We just lost the last newspaper daring to do decent journalism.

The House of Windsor has removed Andrew from the family Netflix. What else did the House of Windsor remove?

I am so upset. Last week Time Magazine solicited a piece from me on Zohran Mamdani & anti-Muslim hate. I pitched a framing re the dehumanization of Muslims & how Mamdani’s inclusive, socialist campaign in its content resists that. They agreed. I wrote the piece. 1/

This is the SAME medication they banned declaring it unsafe for trans kids. Apparently it’s not harmful if they are cis kids. It’s such a magical medication!

it's utterly wild how the Heritage Foundation president talks about other people if you found a guy talking like this outside, you'd probably call the cops

The option to work from home has been shown to increase birth rates. It’s one of the only policies that has been successful in doing so.

“There’s a divide in the LGBTQ+ community!” They shout, pointing at transphobes being kicked out as “evidence” of the divide. To me it sounds like the opposite. Kicking out bigots and transphobes is a sign of solid community support.

Reports of ICE ads on #Spotify were noted in early October. People began calling for boycotts immediately. Now, nearly a month later Spotify is seeing major losses. And we can do ever BETTER. 👏👏👏 #BoycottSpotify

"to slash costs Kurian opened new offices in cheaper locations" If it was really about costs they would have done remote work. The irrational fixation these people have on offices oozes through everywhere.

…can anyone help? #art #comic #elk #strawberry #mist #monster

that's me in the corner that's me in the float point losing my precision

Whenever I meet a "feminist" who wants to abolish sex work, I instantly know I'm talking with an unserious person who is not willing to do the work. Let's imagine, for the sake of the argument, that they were right and all sex workers were trafficking victims who wanted to leave sex work. 🧵

I think now it’s the time for BOOOOO?

"Many of the deals OpenAI has struck — with chipmakers, cloud computing companies and others — are strangely circular. OpenAI receives billions from tech companies before sending those billions back to the same companies to pay for computing power and other services." www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

- Woah your management scores are really high, congratulations! - Thanks! - How do you do it? - I do X, Y, Z - These are so good! (A month later) - I did not-X - Why aren’t we doing X? - Not-X is what everyone is doing. We do the same. - Right…

“The share of college students identifying as transgender fell 50% between 2023 and 2025” Someone using this as proof that trans people are a fad would normally be considered extremely stupid given what happened in the last few years. But it’s the WSJ, which means they are not: it’s propaganda.
