For no particular reason I'm thinking about the time Bill Clinton admitted he smoked pot once in college and it was a month-long administration paralyzing scandal

I got carried away digitizing it. anyways here's a significantly better trolleybus doodle :D #transit

You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

Secretary of health, indeed.

Absolutely do NOT give your ID or face scan on Discord. It's even worse than expected. Apparently due to people bypassing current systems, they're switching to "persona" which is funded by fucking Peter Thiel.

É melhor ser alegre que ser triste Alegria é a melhor coisa que existe É assim como a luz no coração This is one of the songs that got me through. youtu.be/7mV-w_Fm1iM?...

listening to massive attack and editing html by hand. fucking flashback to 1998.

A dresser inside a museum in New York City has been discovered as a secret stop on the Underground Railroad — the first of its kind discovered in Manhattan in over 100 years

Alt text: a graph showing a massive spike in anti-trans articles per 30 days. The x axis starts in 2012, most of the spike is just in the last decade The spike really starts to kick in around 2017 or so, corresponding almost *perfectly* with powerful sexual predators feeling threatened by MeToo.

Seems pretty clear the goal is to spike the personal and social costs of transition by forcing completely avoidable post-puberty transitions.

The EU has just voted, by a VERY wide margin, for the full recognition of trans women as women…!

the sweetest trans girl you've ever met will be like you can date me but first you have to defeat the 300 evil things my mom said to me to make me feel unlovable

I can certainly identify with this take.

"Correlation doesn’t want you to know that because if you know that, you won’t click on fearmongering headlines like the Times piece 'Experts Warn Office Workers to Stop Gossiping Amid Surge in Water Cooler Deaths.'"

I only came here to chew bubble gum, and honestly, I am feeling so attacked right now.

If you tell me that the shooting in Tumbler Ridge proves that all trans people are inherently unstable I will block you!

The rush to scream trans yesterday from would-be pretend journalists - and some at purportedly reputable outlets - was so disgusting.

More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...

What movie moment made you exclaim... "THIS IS CINEMA!" Ratcatcher (1999) Uncompromising, uncomfortable, bleak, honest, and intensely respectful of kids' POV. youtu.be/LMIXAgc_03A?...

Things could get really bad in the rural west. Got to admit that I'm feeling pretty apprehensive right now.

Post a picture of a tree that you took. Kiddo hugging a tree on Meares Island, near Tofino.

meanwhile anyone who quietly worked on machine learning just had their career's front door kicked in by LLMs. They can't even tell acquaintances what they do now because they'll lump it in with OpenAI. I feel like google knew LLMs were a dead end and shelved them for years until stock went 📉

Hey Canadian media ... "born as a biological male" is not the move when you're reporting on what happened in Tumbler Ridge. Here's is the @transjournalists.org Style Guide if you are covering this story today styleguide.transjournalists.org

45-year-old me feels roughly the same about AI app features as 12-year-old me felt about testosterone.

Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick

Currently re-reading "The Victorian Internet." I think I missed my calling as a 19th century telegraph hustler.

I am heartsick for Tumbler Ridge. It's a small, rural and remote community not that different than the one in which I work. I am also furious with the shioter for arming the haters with ammunition they've been itching for. She has endangered a lot of people far beyond her town with this atrocity.

The shooter’s identity will likely be used in legislatures across Canada to argue against life-saving medical care for young people, inclusive education in schools and the outlawing of harmful conversion therapy practices. xtramagazine.com/power/tumble...

Bravo Ireland. This is such a great boost for artists. I have an Artists tax exemption in Ireland for works under 50k. It helped me so much - existence in a feast or famine career is hard. But consecutive Irish governments realized that writers, musicians, artists are the lifeblood of the country.

No son, they are not "magically delicious." The workers made them delicious. This is a slogan meant to mystify the social conditions of labor
