The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality. And trans lives are grounded in reality. We see y'all. No matter what. www.popsci.com/science/tran...

reminder:

"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

Article edited by @davidforbes.bsky.social These tropes have spread due to bad social science (backed by the U.S. government and establishment) and bad history, especially a whitewashed version of the civil rights movement. The reality of liberation struggles is more complicated, and instructive.

Hey TIME I fixed it for you #art #capybara #TIMEpersonOfTheYear

just going to reiterate this. if immigrants don't have due process, no one does. you can't tell citizens from immigrants without due process. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/if-immigra...

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.

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.

there were a couple weeks where i tried Perplexity to see if AI search engines were any good. They aren't. If you disagree let me make something clear: I am better at searching than you.

i get why this is common consensus but ppl being like "the steam controller is kinda ugly but the functionality is great!" makes me shake my head. i think it looks beautiful. shes so unique and tall. the thumbsticks look shiny gorgeous. the slight rotation on the trackpads is so playful.

Every single one of you owes to yourself and to each other to see the sunrise together Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

gavin newsom says he wants to pass legislation banning trans people from playing sports in california

their bodies"? Wow if only that had happened in the last decade somewhere and was still going on to this day and in fact was under direct threat by patriarchal powers? Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Like wow what if there was a movement that actually built the feminist militias the 2nd wavers just wrote about that has its own rich theoretical and intellectual tradition and whose reaction to transphobia was "we are uninterested in feminism that defines women by Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

If we're doing critical reevaluations of important moments in feminism could we do the revolution in Rojava instead of the fucking 2nd wave for the millionth time? Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

They are also intentionally conflating machine-learning and generative AI slop to confuse and try to make GenAI seem necessary. Google Maps traffic stuff is machine learning, not GenAI, for example. Auto-correct is too. Don't let them make you lose the thread. GenAI slop is slop.

This is a good sign

Treize Khushrenada, a man whose motives and ideologies were so incomprehensible that 3 iterations of Wing haven't clarified what he was on about, makes infinitely more sense than those at the head our current government

Thank you for your unending support of Trans folk, @chiitan.love! 🏳️‍🌈

glad to see this "study" is being debunked, but I want to point out the double bind at work behind the scenes here: for years, anti-trans activists pointed to any increases as signs of "social contagion" (read: these kids aren't "really trans"). but then, if or when the numbers ever go down...

People need to stop saying, "That's un-American" when the government does something horrible. We have a long and well-documented history of doing horrible stuff

The Anarchist's goal is not worker control, but the abolition of class altogether. If such classes persist through your Anarchist revolution then you have defacto failed at both worker control and negation of the state. Tyranny does not stop being tyranny simply because it is democratically chosen.

naming their plagiarism eco-terror machine "ai" was the biggest PR coup ever, because it allows people to drop horseshit like this. when science fiction uses ai, it's fucking ai, not a giant autocorrect app that burns the world for power. ai is science fiction! how about YOU pass the turing test

My take on “anti-AI bigotry” is that 1) coded bigotry against actual people, “aimed at” fictional/nonexistent personae as a plausible mask over the actual target, is a real thing that happens, and you could use basically anything as the mask if you were so inclined 2) “anti-AI bigotry” isn’t real

Visit any Queer event - those who oppose all carry American flags. Visit any activist, BLM or antifa event, the opposition all carry American flags. Patriotism buries the crimes of its nation behind the symbol of it, attacking any and all who are critical of its government. Destroy Patriotism.

Then why are all the Patriots joining ICE & supporting them? Patriotism is the type of nation-worship that built the concentration camps. We are no Patriots.

I’ve shared this before, but it feels important to reshare today:

Tesla's experienced not one but three crashes, all apparently on its first day of testing on July 1. By that time, Tesla had logged a mere 7,000 miles in testing.

Wouldn't be surprised if those puritans were behind this. The labels are more than enough. It is completely unnecessary. #bskycensorship

The right-wing hate campaign against trans people is real, from the Trump admin, state level government, to the conservative media apparatus. But please read reports like this very carefully. Trans fearmongering massively boosts social media engagement which encourages this irresponsible framing.

The Trump admin has been targeting trans people, but there’s no new verifiable information in this report, just a single unnamed official who “feels” like trans people could be labeled Nihilist Violent Extremists. In his previous reporting Klippenstein has misunderstood the NVE label, it’s for 764.

"It’s a reminder that attacks on trans people are nothing new – and that many of them are straight out of the Nazi playbook". Laurie Marhoefer, historian on gay and trans history in Weimar Republic and Nazi regime. theconversation.com/historians-a...
