We just hit $100k raised for the WFM's Immigrant Rapid Response Fund! But we've got HOURS to go still, and next up, Jack, Keith, Sylvi and I are going to play some CK3: All Under Heaven at the top of the hour! twitch.tv/friendsatthetable to watch! tiltify.com/@friendsatth... to donate!!

Yeah, but what if 16 year olds see this?

The drunk uncle theory. You don’t argue with the casually homophobic uncle at Thanksgiving dinner to change his mind; you argue so that the closeted cousin at the kids table knows there’s safe people and better possibilities out there

What could go wrong using AI to help stage a few listing photos?

😬Not the best look for Reform’s Gorton & Denton candidate Matt Goodwin White supremacist far right activist says “you've appeared on our podcasts, had dinner with us, had us write for your Substack, and sought our advice on how to write your social media posts” Tad awkward😬

So when thousands of women (and children) were being duplicated--including in non-consensual AI porn--it was no big deal. But it took "only a 15-sec clip" of these two famous white men to draw outrage and fear. Gotcha. Cool cool.

If Canada ends up in the EU so I become an EU citizen again it would be the funniest possible outcome of this whole mess

Hey, friends! Here are some thoughts on using planes in your compositions.

Right-wing media is never held to any level of accountability because 90% of its audience doesn’t believe it’s right-wing media

I am so glad I had to buy a new work computer last summer instead of now. I'm not sure I could afford it.

I understand framing the AI bubble RAM supply crisis in terms of stuff like video game consoles because nerds can conceptualize that but the framing does really undersell the sheer magnitude of how it's going to fuck up everything that even touches a computer.

do you know what would help!!!!!!!! living in a society that lets people experiment with their gender without treating it like the most important thing in the world!!!!!!! letting people get it right or wrong without politicising their decisions!!!!!!! just being chilled about gender!!!!!! aaahhhhhh

Yes Marty! Full agree

Here’s a very fun, challenging commission I did this weekend— from Tillie Walden’s ON A SUNBEAM. Just acrylic inks & india ink!

Young people used to have Zayn and One Direction. Now, all they have left are Zyn and no direction 😔

HELLO I WAS A QUEER TEEN IN THE 1990s AND THE ARGUMENTS AGAINST SOCIAL TRANSITION NOW ARE INDISTINGUISHABLE FROM THE ARGUMENTS AGAINST "LETTING" US BE (at the time, for me) GAY OR LESBIAN THEN. They all rest on the belief that it's inherently better to be straight (then)/cis (now) and that's BS.

It’s the Government’s duty to protect all communities - including trans people. They’re failing to do that. Trans people deserve safety and dignity. www.attitude.co.uk/news/zack-po...

I've reviewed over 50 Sticky Toffee Puddings over the last 6 years, but how did we get here?

It's weird, I hated Theresa May coz she was a nasty xenophobe whose pet project was the hostile environment. This lot hated her coz she wasn't corrupt enough for their liking.

"average person wuthers 3 heights a year" factoid actualy just statistical error. average person wuthers 0 heights per year. Heights Georg, who lives in cave & wuthers over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

Everyone's talking about wuthering heights but no one wants to acknowledge the very real risk of wuthering lows

EEEEEEE! The Void Dreamer I painted was featured in the lastest warcom article with other awesome work! I’m super excited and proud about how this came out as my Aeldari army is very close to my heart. Thank u to GW for sending over the free review copy ❤️ #adwip #new40k #warhammercommunity

The vast majority of people who "detransition" do so as a result of the transphobia they face from a hateful society. Hillary Cass, who has access to the statistics on this, claiming the opposite in interviews is an open display of how her review was an ideological effort to a predetermined result.

Can this myth please die already? Take it from a therapist who works with tons of trans youth (and has many colleagues who also do so), kids aren't ending up in our office because they're mistaking normal gender-nonconformity for being trans.

GATE OF IVREL (1975) Acrylic and Oil on Canvas Board - 17" x 18" The context for this commission—quite possibly lost in the long arc of our careers—was as C.J. Cherryh’s debut novel. 1/4

A young person just commented on one of my Avatar comics: "it's like fanfiction but a book." 💀💀💀

glasses with little cameras in them are not wearable tech they're pervert glasses

Person of Interest is a great show that plays on themes of mass surveillance, artifical intelligence, right to privacy, the boundaries of doing good vs doing harm, but also

"Guy I used to follow until he start showing transphobic tendencies is now arguing for reducing immigration" is an entirely unsurpising turn of events

#astro Got a clear night after on Friday after 13 wks of cloud and rain. I went for IC443 the Jellyfish Nebula. Just over 6hrs of data. Imaged in SHO, processed in Pixinsight and PS.

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Health officials are racing to contain a growing measles outbreak in London, which has struck down dozens of young children and affected 7 schools and a nursery. UKHSA has warned an outbreak across London could see 40,000 - 160,000 cases: www.thetimes.com/uk/healthcar...

The GitS manga's first depiction of optic camouflage looks really pretty in color.

Incredible

Some official pics of my BRITs art trail piece in the window of Fred Aldous, Manchester. My piece is called The Pulse and represents the music and sounds of Manchester weaving through the city.

I dunno what prompted a clothing brand to launch a men’s sweater called the Rosa Parks with an advert featuring a man taking a seat, but we are where we are

So glad we have massively restructured transgender care on based on the works of someone who believes absolute nonsense.

How many processor cycles are we now burning in order to fail to subtract one number from another

Why is luge when they lie on their back and skeleton when they lie on their front, what secrets do they know about the human body

From today's @washingtonpost.com front page: "Abruptly terminated": harsh, contentious, negative "Sunset": natural, pleasant, the circle of life h/t @alecmac.bsky.social

i'm trying not to be too mean but it's really striking how every single one of these people's AIs talk exactly the same and somehow none of them notice or consider what that indicates

You can’t defeat the far right by giving them what they claim to want, bc that isn’t what they really want. What they really want- as they occasionally make clear- is racial purity. That’s why measures aimed at reducing migration are not only cruel & self-harming but pointless on their own terms

if this has to be a news story it should be that a qualified and competent doctor has been run out of a struggling NHS simply because she is transgender

Sunday listen: a good primer on the rise of Bad Bunny from NPR's Throughline pa' los que no sepan, y que viva Puerto Rico libre 🇵🇷

If you want to understand why the BBC's stance on trans rights - only platforming cis people (and only those with a sceptical perspective) - is so outrageous imagine if it only platformed men talking about women's rights (and only those with a sceptical perspective).
