It won’t happen this way but it is funny for the administration’s response to criticism that a trans woman was treated unfairly is a promise to treat everyone as poorly as they treated the trans woman

Badenoch and Truss corrupted the already low standards of UK public life by appointing a deliberately fraudulent enquiry into medical care for trans adolescents and packing a public body with people fundamentally opposed to the purposes it was set out for. This ought to be considered a scandal.

The deification of Charlie Kirk in polite, highbrow circles is genuinely indicative of the moral collapse and intellectual rot of our elites. Reaction and racism has become their cause due to a mix of half-hidden conviction and boredom that has led them to seek out extremism as an intellectual game.

NPR is giving another example of 'AI' meaning whatever you want it to, a buzz-word shorthand with low precision. I want to argue two things: 1. What this uses isn't 'AI' as most people think of it. 2. It's a good thing, actually. The way our limbs work is hard to replicate with prosthetics...

"The takedowns and restrictions began in October and targeted the Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp accounts of more than 50 organisations worldwide ... in what appears to be a growing push by Meta to limit reproductive health and queer content across its platforms."

Importantly, this wouldn't have passed without Dem support. There was enough of a split within Republican ranks that if Dems had voted against the bill it would've been doa. Giving Trump a blank check to warmonger *and* passing an anti-trans measure was a choice.

It's lost on the current bunch of money folks that this is basically the history of Hollywood movies as a cultural and business phenomenon -- understanding that you HAVE to take risks, but if you just manage that risk you can cultivate a lasting, broad-based audience and STILL have huge wins.

There are literally mountains of research showing why this is such a bad idea, and all i really have to point to is one thing: Rural lgbtqia children. Yes, there are risks of social media... but there are risks of being alone and unable to have a peer group, too.

Exactly this. I've seen a whole lot of ostensibly liberal white folks using "Dearborn voters" in the exact same coded way that Republicans say "Chicago" or "Detroit". The lack of self-awareness is just staggering.

I don’t like the comparison of “generative ai” to Asbestos. While it turned out that Asbestos was an extremely hazardous material and we’d have been better off never building with it, the upside of using it (being fireproof) was obvious and real.

The folklore of Hookland has every mist, every fog, as danger. Tales of it eating certainty, as a warping infection of the land. Stories of sentient fogs, of even a mist on the common providing a cloak for the Hoarse Hag to walk abroad. – Lou Kemp, Hookland artist, 1981

Both the "Continue" button and the "Try it now" button do *the same thing* in what is the clearest example of a dark pattern I've ever seen. Imagine someone is getting metrics about the "number of Google Docs users who are using AI" and all the numbers are total bullshit.

"Biological people" was always where this eugenicist rhetoric was headed - ie "biological women", "biological pronouns" - because they genuinely don't believe trans people are even human. This dehumanizing language is essential for them to paint trans people as genetically incompatible with society.
