nothing in the US is getting better until we start start treating this kind of thing as what it is: a form of bribery

🚨 BREAKING | Labour is set to impose a sweeping ban on trans people using any "single-sex space". In EHRC guidance that Labour is set to approve, trans people will be barred from accessing toilets, gyms and changing rooms that match their gender. (Source: @TheTimes)

AI identified her as the suspect in a crime spree in states she had never been to. she was in jail for six months before she even got to speak with an officer and they instantly were shown they had no case. she lost everything—her house, dog, car, and was left stranded in north dakota.

I have a favor, and it’s to share this fundraiser (or donate, if you feel inclined. That would rock.) I am really involved in the ceramics community and I think art is so beneficial to kids; I think it can change lives. Link here: www.gofundme.com/f/help-reviv...

When I was trying to get men who sexually harassed me and female coworkers held accountable, Boomer/GenX women tried to shush me. Boomer/GenX women shut down discussions of queerphobia/racism in feminist spaces. They fought for themselves, not future generations or women who don’t look like them.

Our friends at Firestorm are struggling in the face of disaster capitalism. A queer- and worker-owned bookstore that has, over and over, been there for the community. They let me set up a referral page with them. Books from my podcasts, my books, and books I love firestorm.coop/r/killjoy.html

Maybe Bluesky will get mad at me for saying this, but this is a bizarre headline because if you actually read the article it says the exact opposite. Please consider reading the whole article before doom-sharing the irresponsible headline.

Longtime college friend of mine, Mike Prinke, was among those laid off at Epic Games: he has been fighting terminal brain cancer, and now he, his wife, and kid, have no income or health insurance. Sharing here in hopes it can reach the right people on their behalf. #epicgames

If he's going to get a national profile on the strength of a younger woman's campaign, I'm going to come out and say it: during his short-lived tenure as a math professor, Biss had an inappropriate romantic relationship with one of his undergraduate students. I was that student.

Every time I open a news app or site and this story isn’t being discussed or featured prominently I feel like I’m losing my mind. Do not look away.

Last term I tried an experiment: I walked into my Tech and Design Ethics class, admitted that I had *no idea* what to do about ChatGPT - so I would let them figure it out. As in: their first project was to decide and write the ChatGPT policy for the class. Here's what happened:

i ALSO want to have sex with ana de armas and mackenzie davis at the same time but you don't see ME having 5+ minute long scenes about it!!!

I just filled this out and boy do I have strong opinions about how much I do not need "AI" on my Discord experience.

In case you've seen the story about “grok now only generates images for paid users”, it's untrue. Apparently everyone just reported it because… it was what grok told them 🤦🏼 www.theverge.com/news/859309/...

Important context for claims that the Nicole Renee Good was obstructing/assaulting officers before she was shot & killed: The last time immigration agents shot a woman (Marimar Martinez, Chicago) they made similar claims. Prosecutors have already dropped the charges www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news...

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

This is my CES 2026 thread of AI slop. First off: astrologers, prepare to be out of a job! This bold new company is bringing AI to the world of Horoscopes and for some reason merging that with a visibly unwell Furby. Bonus: borderline illegal claims that it can "cure" certain behaviors.

New, from me: The NYT reporter who specializes in profiles of beleaguered right-wingers on campus went to New College...and found out that things were going ok! So let me explain some pretty massive errors of omission: 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-nyt-re...

7 Dems joined House Republicans in voting for a bill that would enable ICE agents to strip search 12-year-olds. Henry Cuellar (TX-28) Don Davis (NC-01) Laura Gillen (NY-04) Jared Golden (ME-02) Vicente Gonzalez (TX-34) Adam Gray (CA-13) Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (WA-03)

🤯 One hell of an introduction to this piece by @rivkahbrown.bsky.social.🤯 novaramedia.com/2025/12/16/a...

Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->

AI may improve but it will never elevate or surpass a human performance. It doesn't matter how much better the tech gets over time. Unfortunately, as many are aware & as this video does a great job of laying out, if "good enough" is ever *good enough* for the average viewer, we're all in trouble.

I'm an "A.i." abolitionist. No consumer-facing LLMs or generative "A.i." in anything. Sure, machine learning in science and a few other limited applications is fine. But consumer-facing LLMs and generative "A.i." that are based on theft, push disinfo, and can be manipulated by billionaires? No.

fuck you the memories of a generation lost because of Reagan's homophobia will not be erased i think we should do something in DC that would make david wojnarowicz proud tbh

I want to explain a few things and then it might be clearer why UK trans people are upset. In 2001 I married my wife, Sylvia. In 2005 I started medical transition. (1/13)

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/

“I’m sure you’re aware of our connections with the Trump Administration,” the North Carolina Republican Party's communications director wrote in an email response to us. “I would strongly suggest dropping this story.” We didn't. Read the story that he wanted dropped:

so @matteowong.bsky.social & I wrote on data centers: arguably the most important buildings in the world & are, in a way, holding the economy hostage. Byzantine financial instruments, private equity, depreciating tech, hype, $trillion valuations. it’s all there. an ai crash prob starts here.

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification. I glanced down at the message. “Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began. So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/anna...

Exclusive: Anthropic spent $2.66 billion on Amazon Web Services in the first three quarters of 2025, around 100% of their estimated revenue. Its costs appear to increase with their revenue, showing little path to profitability. www.wheresyoured.at/costs/

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents. Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time. He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone. Houston, Texas

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

This is the biggest, toughest article I’ve done about so-called “AI psychosis.” It’s the story of a man who committed a horrific crime in his youth but served his time and against all odds found love and a new life—one that completely unraveled after he started talking to Google’s Gemini chatbot.
