#100wikidays
, and again in 2018, which is a challenge to write a new article every day for 100 days. In 2020, I wrote a new article every day for 366 days.

In our conservative estimate, 41 percent of Grok’s images — or 1.8 million — were sexualized depictions of women. Separately, CCDH analyzed how many were sexualized images across genders and ages. Their findings: an estimated 3 million images, including more than 23,000 of children.

You know how bananas are radioactive but only a tiny bit so it's fine to have a bunch of them lying around. But keeping, like, one billion bananas could fatally irradiate you. I propose we do this to money.

Sometimes we talk about how a certain 2020s talking point would baffle a normal person in the 1980s, like "all my apes gone" or "AOC Donkey Kong Livestream for Trans Rights". But I think THIS book would baffle a normal under 40 person today.

As everyone should know by now, the anti-trans rhetoric isn’t about “protecting women” in bathrooms or sports … but about removing trans people from public life. And it’s working. This is a big company, making a big change that isn’t about protecting anyone (except men from having to see tampons).

There is NO public healthcare for trans kids in the South anyway- we are extremely lucky we can afford private care, it takes a large lump of our budget but the alternative was to risk losing our child. This ban will cost lives. Shame on Sinn Féin
