A PhD student at Stanford noticed her classmates were asking Al to write their breakup texts. So she ran a study. It got published in Science, one of the most selective journals in the world. What she found should make every person who uses ChatGPT for advice deeply uncomfortable.

Genuinely, this concern about AI is one of the reasons why I think having friction in video games is good and why it's increasingly important to have games that simply exist instead of catering to our expectations. Reposting this message from Kojima about "pre-digested" art:

THE STATE OF THE INTERNET IS ASS. WE GOTTA GO BACK

not to call anyone out specifically: many cises responding they didn't know and imo that speaks to how most ppl have done no work interrogating the transphobia they've spent their lives absorbing. would you say that i am a whitewoman or a jewishwoman? i bet you wouldn't, even by accident!

Trans woman needs urgent temporary housing assistance in PDX area please help spread around and rt her original posts etc and help spread word

Anyway here’s the passage of Judith Butler that the Guardian censored years ago

the fastest ive ever seen "male socialization" debunked was the time in a gender studies class three cis men argued if trans women had male privilege for like ten minutes while a trans girl sat patiently with her hand up the whole time

do you know why we had you?

H.R. 2616 passed in the House of Representatives this afternoon. This is devastating. It's like a national "Don't Say Gay" bill only exponentially worse. We're going to need everyone -- EVERYONE -- to help out as we full-court press the Senate. This bill MUST be stopped. They are coming for us.

The GOP-led US House passed a ‘don’t say trans’ and forced outing bill today. Aside from requiring parental consent when changing a trans kid's pronouns/name, it also bans schools from "teaching or advancing concepts related to gender ideology." These 8 Democrats voted for it. Shame on them.

For the record, this proposal specifically targets gender identity. You have until May 22nd to submit a comment

"the R slur is coming back" not within slapping distance of me it's not

Also remember last summer when mastercard said 8,000 people called in one weekend? And we all called visa and stripe and paypal too? As far as I know you can still say you're from California and you can get through to a person at Stripe so let's all do that again

CIS PEOPLE TIME TO STEP UP it’s once again time to yell at our bad government via online comment form the FCC is trying to make trans and nonbinary content require special ratings on shows GLAAD has a good writeup on it below TELL ‘EM NO direct link to comment form: www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filings...

the FCC wants to make trans existence in television “explicit” and require warnings the House is trying to ban all books by or about trans people — right now — YOU SEE WHAT’S HAPPENING RIGHT?? C A L L Y O U R R E P S ~please!~

A note I found yesterday while walking in Portland.

Attention Bajoran, Human, and Trill workers... #StarTrek #JellicoTrek

My Threads feed is full of Black folks absolutely gutted and despairing over today’s Voting Rights Act ruling. I love Bluesky for so much, but today is one of those historical moments where it is stark that we really live in two different Americas.

Now do stocks.

"Hey, there. I'm a cis man from the birthplace of the modern anti-trans fervor. I'm making a dating app for trans women first. Why me? Why would I do this? Why, god, would I think this thinly veiled attempt to steal information or have a hunting ground for chasers would work? To that I say: "

This is my trans agenda

I'm convinced that a large swathe of left-of-center cis folks think of trans adults as a group completely separated from trans children, as people who made some kind of quirky life choice once they were old enough. But Every. Single. Trans. Adult. was once a scared and confused trans child

Three years ago today, I no longer needed to wonder anymore. Bottom surgery saved my life in a way that I cannot put into words. I am happier and more confident in myself than I've ever been. I feel like myself. I also CANNOT believe it's been 3 years already. Where does the time go??

while many gaming communities default to white guy-centric toxicity, @gamesdonequick.com proposes an alternative: welcoming to all, with "trans rights" as a rallying cry. but it wasn't always this way, and old problems still fester. for @aftermath.site's woke week, my months-in-the-making report:

Trans women are biological women. Trans men are biological men. Please stop using the phrase “biological” to distinguish cis from trans people. Cis does just fine and you’re also revealing your own ignorance of how biology works, as well as underlying inherent transphobia, even if unintentionally.

Skrmetti has no binding authority over NY state law which has explicit protections for trans patients. The DOJ coming in and overriding a state AG's enforcement like this is an incredible overreach and shows just how far this admin will go to target trans youth.

The Department of Justice has sent a letter to NY AG Letitia James regarding her order to NYU Langone to resume provision of gender affimring care to trans youth. DOJ says they will defend NYU Langone if the AG takes action against the hospital
