1/2 No, this isn’t satire. But banning words doesn’t erase reality. --- A few months ago: “bias” was flagged. (Funny thing—science articles are full of statistical biases we work hard to fix.)

Effect of tariffs I've seen — Higher clothing prices overall — Overseas sellers covering tariff costs, but passing cost to the consumer — US stores dropping brands. Example: No Man Walks Alone won't be carrying Norbit this fall bc tariff uncertainty — Fewer deals. Ebay shuts down overseas sellers

PS from the Portland reddit...

Ok, we “saved” Jimmy Kimmel. Now can we bring that same energy to migrants, trans people, BIPOC and women? Or are we just reserving that for rich white guys?

Whenever sites come up with new rules like this I thing about how if you were a creator who was making something every bit on the level with a hugely popular and acclaimed series, would you be allowed to share it? Like, if you were sitting on the next Game of Thrones, you couldn’t share that here.

Trump is a ❄️!

Michigan's porn ban specifically bans being openly transgender as being pornographic. Don't let this one slide. It is a ban on being publicly transgender on the Internet.

Michigan lawmakers have introduced a bill prohibiting the any "depiction or description" of trans people or trans existence online, including it in a bill banning "pornographic" material The bill would completely erase trans people online, equating them with porn.

An appeals court just gave Trump permission to defund Planned Parenthood. The decision is “a devastating blow for patients across the country,” Alexis McGill Johnson, president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, said.

The shooting of Charlie Kirk was the 46th school shooting of the year. The 47th one happened moments afterwards. www.cnn.com/2025/09/10/u...

All these people are rich beyond imagining. There's no reason to take this gig beyond making it clear they don't give a fuck about trans people.

Using this piece by @reallygoodwizard.bsky.social in my introductory lectures for my design students.

Your reminder that we don’t even know who wrote this crap because my former employer no longer says who is on its editorial board. And if you ask its AI helper, it lists seven people, three of whom have left and one of whom is semi-retired and lives in Hong Kong.

Stay the fuck out of Chicago.

I know there's a lot of controversy about the Cracker Barrel logo, so I worked up a new option that should be good with everyone... The barrel is back, but it's now guarded by Scubble, The Cracker Goblin. I also worked up a new slogan for the company!

Something very very weird happened during the Hugos award ceremony... It's been on my mind for days, and so I wrote this blog: "When People Giggle at Your Name, or the 2025 Hugo Awards Incident" grigorylukin.com/2025/08/21/w... #Worldcon

Sorry for the repost no edit button. Also needed to fix the wording and clarify the regulations. Under federal law, the U.S. flag is the only flag that may be officially flown on government flagpoles at National Park Service sites. Keyword is flagpoles.

A Yosemite National Park ranger has been fired, and others could still face charges, after a massive transgender pride flag was hung from El Capitan earlier this year. Shannon “SJ” Joslin, a bat biologist, received a termination letter last week citing “unacceptable conduct.”

www.reddit.com/r/transgende... Guess what? The story about the trans M&S employee and the bra fitting is a pack of lies and distortions. Want to know what really happened and how colleagues stood up for her? Read her own account here.
