OpenAI: We’re burning money like the Joker. A miracle needs to happen for us to turn a profit Microsoft: Please please use our AI systems, we’re teetering on the edge here Anthropic: I wonder what’ll kill us first: lawsuits, regulations or model collapse Media and universities: AI is here to stay

Dass wir diesen tipping point erreichen (und zwar bald) ist lauter der Forscher:innen jetzt deutlich wahrscheinlicher geworden. Wie rechtfertigt eine Regierung in dieser Situation Tankrabatte, Senkung der Luftverkehrsteuer, ausbleibendes Tempolimit usw.? www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Moment, lieber ÖRR, ich frage mal das statistische Bundesamt. de.statista.com/statistik/da...

just learnt about "gen z stare". you better not throw that shit at me, my autism transcends your generations fantasies

Same goes for every "genius" academic or scholar.

And day to day, life's a hard job, you get tired, you lose the pattern. You need distance, interval. The way to see how beautiful the earth is, is to see it as the moon. The way to see how beautiful life is, is from the vantage point of death.

congratulations to the astronauts who get credit for a moon mission using rocket development work by trans women who had to quit their job and flee the state of florida and can’t celebrate this win with their coworkers

Happy Trans Day of Visibility ❤️🏳️‍⚧️❤️

Why are anti-trans moral panics taking off? This Thurs at 12pm (USA / EST) & 5pm (GMT), I'll be giving a talk about anti-trans/anti-gender moral panic agenda-setting in the US, UK, and Australia for @queerseminar.bsky.social. I hope you can join us! #LGBTQ #moralpanic #publicpolicy #trans

If you're trans, ⬇️ if you're cis (or trans!) follow @erininthemorning.com to stay aware of why your trans coworkers & fam & parents aren't doing okay & what you can do about it. @amplifytransjoy.bsky.social for more than tragedy; @thetransfemininereview.com for 🏳️‍⚧️ books+how everyone can fight censors

das letzte was du siehst bevor dein studiengang geschlossen wird

happy trans day of having a nice snack!! @ cis people: buy a trans person a snack today & don't forget: visibility without power is vulnerability

Die CDU macht den Osten schon mal übergabefertig

wouldn't it be funny if EVERYONE blocked this Attie AI account @ bsky.app/profile/atti... before they could do anything with it

So many cis people, only some of them professional transphobes, are so convinced that their narrow, unscientific and unethical views on gender, sex, and trans people are so foundational to reality itself that they're willing to raze all of society to ashes instead of admitting they were wrong.

after much deliberation and giving AI the benefit of the doubt, Wikipedia editors have had enough of AI slop. New policy bans LLM generated content, periodt www.404media.co/wikipedia-ba...

🌈 Today we are very excited to announce @pepinneff.bsky.social as our next speaker! 😯 They will present their work studying the factors behind the moral panic agenda-setting on anti-trans issues in the United Kingdom, the United States and Australia. 📆 Be sure to join us next Thursday April 2nd!

Ein wichtiger Zusatz, der nicht untergehen soll: Bei den Bundestagswahlen 2025 waren 1.15% aller Deutschen, die gewählt haben, Männer im Alter zwischen 18 und 24. Im gesamten AfD Elektorat machten die 18-24 Jährigen Männer 4% der gesamten Wählerschaft aus.

Weil das Narrativ der "jungen rechten Männer" sich derart hartnäckig hält - einige Auswertungen aus den repräsentativen Wahlstatistiken der verschiedenen Bundesländer. Spoiler: *IN KEINEM BUNDESLAND DEUTSCHLANDS WÄHLEN 18-24-JÄHRIGE MÄNNER MEHR AfD ALS MÄNNER ZWISCHEN 35 UND 60.*

honored & happy, so looking forward to this. save the date, come around to @nsdoku.bsky.social on May, 19 2026 Kommt rum! rausgegangen.de/en/events/ge...

I Need Your Support On the state of Democracy Americana after six months, the pitfalls of the newsletter economy – and what the future holds for this independent publication. My new piece – asking my readers for help:

Einmal mehr: Keine Altersgruppe wählte *SO LINKS WIE DIE 18-24 JÄHRIGEN*. Die AfD war bei den Jüngsten *SCHWÄCHER als bei den 35-60 Jährigen*.

This has just been published in “Theory & Society” (formerly) considered THE top #sociology /theory journal, after Springer Nature redid the board, installing Steven Pinker among them. Shame shame shame

The autism spectrum is complicated, per a new graphic of 39 traits: “There is no single trait that defines autism: it encompasses differences in social communication skills, interests, sensory sensitivities, and more. Every person’s profile is unique.” www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-...

How are they going to check this? How many cis women are they going to order to undress so they can make sure they're not trans? Why do we always have bring harm to cis people in to the reasons this is bad to try and get people to care?

1. The Trump Administration just opened the door for ICE to target anyone suspected of being trans. Under a new rule, the State Department will be able to declare that trans people “misrepresented” themselves during the visa process and revoke their status. transitics.substack.com/p/trump-admi...

Huge trans rights ruling from the EU's top court - if someone moves to another EU country and transitions, their home country can't refuse to amend their registration details to match their lived gender identity

scientific surveys will be like "this is a professional scientific survey by scientific professionals" and then give the worst gender response options ever dreamt up by cis men

Trans healthcare needs to be led by trans people, to be accountable to trans communities and trans youth. Folks who don't believe in the existence of a trans child cannot continue to hold the reins of healthcare policy and governance. This is where we start.

We can't combat an exercise in power & domination over trans youth by showing them the errors in their homework. The errors here are so obvious. They are intentional. They are almost showing off - how little pretense at 'evidence' is needed to subjugate trans youth.

Yesterday the NHS banned all under 18 prescriptions of HRT for trans young people. This ban was justified by 10 new studies that largely stated NO EVIDENCE for under 18s HRT exists. The study underpinning this played one particular trick. Let's briefly look at how the NHS rigged the game 1/5

Vor einigen Jahren war es noch kompliziert, über das deutsche Bundesarchiv NSDAP-Mitgliedschaften abzufragen. Nun haben die National Archives in den USA anscheinend die gesamte Zentralkartei ins Netz gestellt. Jedenfalls ein sehr tolles Tool für Mikrogeschichte. catalog.archives.gov/id/12044361

🌈 We are happy to announce our next webinar! @seangivnish.bsky.social will present his super interesting work on the HIV/AIDS movement in Africa on March 5th. 📆 Be sure to join us!

Far-right authoritarian tactics to socially marginalize, intimidate, and disenfranchise a group. The oppression of one group signals to others you could be next. This goes far beyond bigotry. The authoritarian playbook enabled and empowered by anti-trans and anti-woke actors.

CN Arofeindlichkeit In der Aro Week #ASAW muss leider auch über Arofeindlichkeit gesprochen werden. Das Konzept der Amatonormativität beschreibt die Annahme, dass sich jede*r eine romantischen Beziehung wünscht. Viele Aros fallen aus den sich daraus ergebenden Erwartungen raus. (1/8)

Der Satz "Mein Opa wurde im KZ vergast, meine Tochter in Hanau erschossen" von Filip Goman, dem Vater von Mercedes Kierpacz, bringt die Kontinuität deutscher Täterschaft auf den Punkt. Hätte dieses Land IRGENDWAS aus seiner Vergangenheit gelernt, wäre Hanau nicht passiert.

why won’t the left just praise every technology handed down from self-interested billionaires seeking only to enhance their power and profits?! clearly, they’re the ones in the wrong if they can’t get on board 😤

Die Debatte zu Jugendlichen und sozialen Medien passiert fast ausschließlich unter der Annahme, dass junge Menschen zuhause sicher, unterstützt und akzeptiert sind. Die Realität ist natürlich eine andere. Soziale Medien sind eben auch eine Möglichkeit mit dieser Realität umzugehen.

I don't know how you can honestly look at the last 7 years of thousands of anti-trans bills, a billion in anti-trans spending, laser focus by right wing think tanks, and billionaires personally engaged in the effort and think that all of this is a backlash to some trans people being mean online.

I have a friend who said, of Starfleet Academy, that this took them out of it - that seeing a person in a wheelchair in the 32nd century seemed unrealistic, since medicine in Star Trek "should be able to cure whatever was wrong with them." That's not the case, for any number of possible reasons.
