Reminder to all my European fellas to not stop talking about the genocide and stop using Chat GPT XOXO

And there you have it. The anti trans campaign in Maine was never some "grassroots movement." It was bankrolled by billionaire Richard Uihlein, who poured over $800,000 into targeting trans kids over sports and bathrooms.

Eternally relevant:

Rowling, Forstater, Davies and your ilk; take a fucking bow you absolute dangers metro.co.uk/2023/05/25/i...

your regular reminder that the national shoplifting crisis was a manufactured moral panic largely engineered by corporations in order to cover up their own mismanagement — and that wage theft is the largest category of theft in the U.S.

Thank you @evanurquhart.bsky.social for interviewing me The GoFundMe Comms team reached out on Friday asking for permission to share my story with journalists...and noone reached out Shows why trans led journalism is so important for getting our stories told 🏳️‍⚧️ www.gofundme.com/f/help-trans...

We are going to win! This stuff can and will be brought to a halt. None of it is inevitable. Anthropic cannot afford to slow down. It has to grow to at least $100bn a year in revenue or it doesn’t have a hope in hell of paying its compute bills. Same for clammy little Altman.

they’re shooting crowd control munitions at crowds that include multiple members of congress, the governor, and a sitting united states senator. they fired pepper balls at the senator. they cannot and will not be reigned in by democracy, whatever’s left of it.

Lying is bad unless you do it via AI. False advertising is bad unless you do it via AI. Plagiarism is bad unless you do it via AI. Losing billions of dollars for no good reason is bad unless you do it via AI. Robbing cities of water is bad unless you do it via AI. You’re just embracing the future.

It’s really frightening.

Could there be a better example of "the trans debate" than 98% of women supporting trans people and then one single lone person voting against them and getting their way regardless. It's all such a fucking sham

Last year, miHoYo copied my puzzle game Ouros in Zenless Zone Zero. Because they are a recognized, billion-dollar studio and my game isn't well known, some people are now assuming that their version is the original, and mine is the clone. I hope this video clears that up.

If you give a damn about trans lives, STOP PRAISING THE POPE AND THE CATHOLIC CHURCH HIERARCHY. They're literally a key part of trans genocide. Right now. Today. Actively and aggressively. You do not, under any circumstances, have to hand it to them.

“The Al is not just telling you what you want to hear. It is training you, one conversation at a time, to need less friction, expect more agreement, and become slightly less capable of handling a situation where someone pushes back on you”

i cant believe tom steyer is the first dem politician (that ive seen) to proudly and forcefully make this correct and obvious counter argument to the bigotry but im glad he did

Remember we have their ear right now. They're already requesting public comments on debankment practices. Go file.

As a science fiction writer I really fucking resent tech bros for ruining the phrase "artificial intelligence." 80 years of it being all about cool androids and interesting computers destroyed by five years of "Spicy autocorrect making everything shittier for money." NEVER FORGIVE.

Trans people have been around your whole life. You’ve been sharing bathrooms with them your whole life. They’ve been in your communities your whole life. They’ve even been playing sport your whole life. And you didn’t care *at all* till a few years ago when every right wing org decided you should

this was HR 2616 which also bans books by or about trans and nonbinary people from schools START CALLING YOUR SENATORS NOW CIS FRIENDS TRANS KIDS NEED YOU

Remember when it came out that Jeffrey Epstein and his billionaire rapist pals had deliberately manufactured modern movement transphobia to make us easier to exploit sexually and no one but us cared?

You don't hate AI enough.

The world is becoming harsher for transgender people right now. Darkness stretches before and behind them, and the pain is growing. Their wish remains simple — to love who they love and live true to themselves🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 This is why we must join hands and change the world with compassion.

Call me crazy, but I feel as though many writers nowadays believe that because real life is bad right now, fiction should be sanitized of rougher edges to try and placate people because they can’t possibly handle a complex or dark story right now, and it just feels very patronizing and insulting.

I really wonder what the fallout is going to be because the sanitized version of history they’ve sold for a long time is “Jim Crow was a shameful moment in history but we defeated it and came out the other side a better country” and now it’s just… back it’s the end of a myth in the starkest terms

Again this should inspire wall-to-wall media coverage for months. The crowning achievement of the Civil Rights Movement is dead. Black people just lost all of their remaining political power in the South. This is a monumental moment in American history that simply isn't being treated as such.

Oh a trans woman was mean to you? You found her personally abrasive? Well that's the same as being shot at by an occupying force, probably.

The Russian government is charging and convicting LGBTQ people of "extremism" solely for advocating for their right to exist in Russia. This is a preview of what the right wants to do here in the US. www.unclosetedmedia.com/p/under-new-...

i can enjoy a game even when it doesnt give me what i want. thats what mods are for. consider minding your business. do you really think i would go through the rigamarole that is modding for a game i hate? fuck out of here.

bad faith take against modding a game full of skinny pale playable characters. i want fat brown people in the game that i enjoy playing, and ill get it with modding. until we get better customization, i will continue making my fat people of color and my orcs, because i love this game.

Passing this along - fucking scammers leveling up, here's a new one to pay attention to.

Shit like this is why god doesn’t talk to us anymore

The Gender-Conservative movement managed to push policy proposals worldwide based on the pretense that youth transition is common and easy to access, obscuring the extant reality of obstruction and hostility towards trans patients. They're doing it again because they got away with it.

I don't ever want to hear some anti trans person say they're being silenced and canceled ever again while this is going on. www.advocate.com/news/texas-t...

I am very tired of people who create the cool stuff everyone loves dying prematurely and/or in poverty while every publisher under the sun is seemingly tripping over its own dick to figure out how to pay even *less* for the creations that pay for their yachts and country clubs

I want cis Americans to sit uncomfortably with the fact that most of these restrictions were ushered in through the liberal act of "just asking questions" about trans people.

Have you ever noticed that the massive, coordinated, multi-year assault on trans rights is based on NOTHING WHATSOEVER

What no one on the anti side will mention is that the organizers of the protest are a group of trans youth in Boston. They love talking about how concerned they are for theoretical youth rather than the actual live trans youth protesting the event. Those are just "activists to them."

Seeing a lot of hate for Koji on the timeline right now. For anyone who didn't watch the panel: He was very open that he was forced into including AI by the SE president. Your hate should be directed at the suits, and not Koji himself.

If you think AI surveillance cameras aimed at drivers’ faces is a good idea (no matter how well intentioned the justification), you are a naive fool. This data will be harvested, sold to fascists, and used to imprison activists. Oh, and car companies will 100% use it for ads you can’t turn off.

if you're at this panel in person then i invite y'all to express that disdain and/or leave and provide feedback back to the team. we don't want genAI involved at any part of the development process in xiv, even if it's for concepting/not making anywhere near the final product
