1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics. It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT. It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse. Transgender care saves lives.

hey everyone here is a video of Andrew Tate getting the shit kicked out of him in slow motion happy holidays and you’re welcome

Next time you remember something really stupid you did like ten years ago and feel super embarrassed, remember: it could be worse You could be Dannica Patrick at AmFest telling 25,000 Christian Nationalists about her past life regression and former incarnation as a Native American medicine woman

"you're a man" ad hominem "you were born a boy" sunk cost fallacy "you're amab" false dichotomy "you have xy chromosomes" false equivalence "trans people are mentally ill" non sequitur "changing your sex isn't possible" skill issue

I'm not familiar with the rest of them but Shapeshifters.co is a TINY business and made all of my binders before I had top surgery. They're amazing and don't have lawyer money I suspect because: tiny.

If these people really believe that LLMs have sentience, consciousness, emotions, etc., how do they address the necessary conclusion that the people who use them are slavers?

again thinking of when The Free Press ran an article alleging that George Floyd was not killed by the cops, and @radleybalko.bsky.social proved beyond any question that the article was bullshit, and instead of retracting it Weiss asked him to come on her podcast

shit look out he's a dual wielder

yes! i am a bit of a broken record on this but among elite male commentators there is such obvious gender anxiety

/2 Has Trump ever felt joy? Has he ever had a truly happy day? Does he have any fond memories at all? Has he ever experienced anything closer to contentment than gloating, or smugness, or fleeting satisfaction in demeaning others?

All of this. Some highlights.

What is happening here with the layout of this house I was tempted to make this a “wrong answers only” but honestly I’m not sure how you would tell www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8yFCSqD/

I’m just saying that if the primary source of your rage is not what’s happening to human beings, but people failing to take your social media radicalism sufficiently seriously, you might want to think whether the life of a Emoji Radical is right for you

🚨🚨 Tukwilla, Washington: The NWS Seattle is reporting that a levee on the Green River has failed, flash flooding is occurring. If you are in the area, move to higher ground immediately!

You've got to remember that to the brats like Nick Fuentes the most mild of criticism is the same as "you are a worthless piece of scum who has no value." They're literally so fragile that ANY criticism is an existential blow that thry react against as if it was a death threat.

My friend Nicolle is a middle school choir director at Skyview Middle School in the suburbs of Seattle. Her students have been offered the opportunity to sing at Carnegie Hall, and she is fundraising to make that possible. www.gofundme.com/f/help-the-s...

WOW. @haleaziz.bsky.social with a new scoop: ICE now gets a running list of every person who is going to be taking a domestic flight inside the United States from the TSA and runs it through their database looking for targets. This explains the Babson College student's arrest.

Nitpick here, but if I remember correctly, "nunc pro tunc" literally means "now for then"; it's been a while, so I probably have it wrong, but I think "this for that" would be "hic pro illo."

Hahahaha eat shit

these people do not know what an IP address is, clearly I can’t even tell what IP addresses they think they’re asking for

I think it’s also true that loneliness among women has historically been treated as an individual problem, while loneliness among men is treated as a societal problem. That, in turn, comes from an assumption that women are supposed to earn the company of others while men are entitled to it.

I PARDON GOODY FLANDERS

Yes! People who pride themselves on being shameless norm-breakers often depend the most on norms… or, on all the other people nearby being too stunned or norm-compliant to resist. You have to be as defiant and brazen as they are, but in defense of decency. You can be pleasant but you don’t budge.

This is a nakedly thuggish and corrupt administration. People who support it should be treated as corrupt thugs.

Judge Xinis grants habeas for Abrego Garcia, ordering him released from ICE custody immediately. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

In what seems like an awesome but terrifying portent, Weird Al has added a straight cover of “Killing in the Name of” to his set list

elon musk being a gooner obsessed with anime waifus built to mimic his ex wife is a big part of why hundreds of thousands of people are now dead

these are not tertiary distractions, its like saying that anakin skywalker having weird sex issues and hangups about sand is irrelevant to the fall of the galactic republic

It’s nice when people act sane.

doing research for a pitch to be the devil's advocate and it looks like bro always appears pro se wtf

Requiem for a Dream. Brilliant movie, but whoooooooof.

Couple of things here: 1. Trump says he took another cognitive test recently 2. In front of "large numbers of doctors and experts" 3. He called the examinations "long...and very boring" 4. If you're given 3 cognitive exams in one year by panels of doctors, something is VERY wrong with you

oh dear

The Department of Defense has a new AI program and look

Love to see the Sedgwick County Zoo putting out a good explainer on why GenAI slop videos of animals are a problem & how to identify them! It’s succinct, easy to read, and doesn’t shame people for not knowing better. A+ useful link to share with family and friends. scz.org/blog/the-rea...

Something a little different 🐾✨

this is similar to what I've come to think of as the "reverse turing test" when people find synthetic text is "good enough" to complete a task (homework, business report, email) it doesn't mean the machine is smart. it means they were asked to produce something that didn't matter it's diagnostic

I can’t emphasize enough how much you need to watch this until the end

I am one of today’s lucky 10,000 people, because today I got to learn this!

NEWS: Judge Boasberg orders Erez Reuveni and Drew Ensign to testify in court next week as part of his ongoing contempt inquiry over Alien Enemies Act flights.

Sauer saying something is unconstitutional because it "would be unconstitutional under Justice Scalia's dissent" is a remarkably cogent statement of the Roberts Court's approach to precedent.

The Business Judgment Rule is just Delaware's version of Ron Swanson's piece of paper that has "I can do what I want" written on it.

This is brilliant. Thanks @matociquala.bsky.social
