I wrote about the 23andMe bankruptcy, the failure of personalized medicine, and the real value of genetic data: bolstering surveillance and phrenology. thetechbubble.substack.com/p/dnas-real-...

Detaining and attempting to deport someone for writing an op-ed the government disagrees with is a blatant violation of the First Amendment. We’re in court today in Vermont to demand that ICE immediately releases Tufts student Rümeysa Öztürk.

If you're protesting this weekend, know your rights when interacting with law enforcement, including immigration agents.

New York legislator Brian Maher (R) has introduced a bill banning the term "sex worker." www.nysenate.gov/legislation/...

Really hate to be *that* girl but if anyone had any hope Zuckerberg’s “less censorship, more freedom” turn was gonna help s*x-positive creators or indeed anyone who isn’t a cishet white tech dudebro, I present you my Instagram account status:

Etel Adnan knew that words could bear witness to the unspeakable, even when the world looked away. In the face of Palestinian genocide, Isabella Hammad turns to her as a model of defiance. buff.ly/C5Ndatk

“‘Columbia has worked overtime to appease,’ wrote Layla, a student at Columbia’s School of Social Work, who asked to withhold her last name having faced doxxing attacks and harassment from Zionist groups. ‘Students are miserable. Campus is a panopticon. And their funding was still cut.’”

The idea that pornography would not be protected by the First Amendment is ridiculous. The founding fathers did not condemn pornography; Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin collected it. The first time someone was charged with obscenity was in 1815. scholarship.law.unc.edu/cgi/viewcont...

I wrote something in defense of humanism for Laguna~B's new magazine. A brief look at a very fascinating company, Olivetti! lagunab.com/magazine/the...

This case will have profound implications for the future freedom of speech of all kinds online, not just pornography. The same laws that protect sexual expression also protect political expression. I hope everyone's paying close attention. www.supremecourt.gov/oral_argumen...

They say that sex workers are the canaries in the coal mine, what happens to everyone happens to us first. For this reason, you should stop what you're doing & read this interview I did with Stormy (yes, that one!) about the impact of shadowbanning. www.pghcitypaper.com/columns/excl...

THREAD: There is a new version of the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) that was apparently negotiated by Sen Blackburn with help from Elon Musk's X. Surprising no one: the new version does not fix the fundamental problem with the bill: it gives the FTC authority to dictate what young people see online

As NYPD officials boasted of the resources expended finding the killer of a corporate CEO, another sidewalk murder the same week, of a migrant teen, has not received the same treatment. hellgatenyc.com/two-manhatta...

I tuck all my limbs in lightly and go rolling with perfect grace and velocity down a hill that lasts forever. haha — Yes! it will be the job of sisyphus, my sexual partner, to roll me up again.

I think an important (and difficult) thing in tech criticism today is accepting that the following things can both be true: that openAI et al are exaggerating their products’ capabilities and using AGI mythology as marketing, AND that these systems are dangerous in a way that overlaps with AI myths

@anniefinch.bsky.social taught a wonderful class on meter yesterday, such an honor to be a part of it 💐

wrote about project 2025's plan to outlaw pornography and the surprisingly recent history of sexual content being censored in the US for Dazed
