“Adrenal fatigue” was invented by the wellness industry. It’s a fake diagnosis. It’s pseudoscience. If you’ve been given a diagnosis of “adrenal fatigue,” your symptoms are real, but that diagnosis is not. sciencebasedmedicine.org/adrenal-fati...

I still miss Pepsi Max Ginger.

Two years already. Doesn't feel like it. Proud of us.

70% of trans people believe BBC News is hostile. (And anyone who has listened to Justin Webb knows they are clearly right.) goodlaw.social/kyxv

"This show is problematic because this character is doing shitty things." ...he's a VILLAIN?? He's THE BAD GUY. He's SUPPOSED to be shitty and awful. You're SUPPOSED to hate him. That's how fiction WORKS.

Pointing out (in my 'BBC' accent) that I don't qualify can be amusing, as the 'reasonable' person tries to avoid saying 'but you're White?!'. Yes, with two Irish grandparents on my father's side. Which incidentally now means my British passport can be taken off me, thanks to the last Tory govt 2/3

I’m sorry I just found out that in 1379, as in, 650 years ago, a baby girl was born in Yorkshire and named Diot Coke history is a fucking joke lmao

“Nedry’s locked us out of the park’s systems. There’s no way to get the fences back online!” *cocks shotgun* “I’ll go and throw the switch manually.” “Hang on. I’m in. The password was ‘dinosaur’.”

Any other time, any other President, and "the dude was in a global conspiracy to fuck them kids" would have been 24/7 coverage. Even Dubya. I remember the fucking Lewinsky coverage. Our media have become craven hacks carrying water for rich pedophiles and I feel insane typing that but there it is.

I have the most wonderful story for you all today: baby alligator spotted in Charles River, then immediately rescued by local reptile enthusiast

Well, well, well.

So the streamer Ludwig recently found out that one of his earliest regular viewers, who was trans, passed away and tonight he's doing a charity stream for the Trevor Project. So far he's raised over $46,000 in about 5 hours. www.twitch.tv/ludwig

Prohibited activities include advising Chinese graduate students. For reference, a recent Georgetown report estimated 16% of STEM graduate students in the US are Chinese nationals. This would take out entire fields at the knees, which is perhaps the point.

I remember just last year that every day in every way, the media took time to inform me that Joe Biden Is Old. But now that they've been handed the biggest scandal in living memory, the granddaddy of them all, the HOLY SHIT THEY WERE FUCKING CHILDREN scandal? "Hey, c'mon, it's ... it's okay, man."

i feel so bad for artists who now have to deal with accusations that their work is ai Its so demeaning to the life of work they put into their art, and it must suck to have to argue that your work is in fact your own. If you can draw, that's really cool, I think you are great.

I was in a building today where I had to show ID so I brought my passport. The security guy said, "I've never held a MAGA passport before." I laughed it off but it was so embarrassing.

In Belfast for work today and it's absolutely bucketing down and forecast to continue all day. So standard Belfast experience.

Every office has an executive tier whose emails are like: saw on news , , can we replce complianc dept with web 3 and a worker tier whose emails are like: Dear Jim, First of all, I *love* this idea! Unfortunately, I spoke with Legal and identified a few issues with this approach. For starters…

I am looking for guests with disabilities to come on my award-winning podcast Disability After Dark. If you are interested, reach out to me at [email protected] and please pass this along.

Jesus fuck. We desperately need universal healthcare. We should pressure our reps to pass universal healthcare since they fucked us with the ACA and healthcare subsidies. sports.yahoo.com/article/jame...

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

we gotta get like three VPNs deep with signal chats set to a disappearing turnaround of minutes to be able to use adult words instead of "unalive" or "grape" meanwhile our political elite are apparently just emailing each other plaintext "up for sex crimes tonight ?"

I hate this "phones" conversation regarding queer people and queer kids because the bottom line is, cishet society KNOWS. Right-wingers KNOW that the internet is how queer people connect to each other---hell, that marginalized people period use it to organize and educate. That's why they hate it.

I love how when you drop Airpods they have to explode out of the case. They're like a Victorian child who is not allowed his preferred juice. "Did you just fucking DROP me? Am I not your most precious baby?" They immediately become heat seeking missiles but for crevices under your couch.

holy shit

every morning Keir Starmer calls an aide into his room at 6.30am to film him doing bicep curls "leak this to the Daily Mail" he says between grunts. "say that friends of Keir are concerned about how strong he is right now" the aide nods, holding up the phone. it's not filming. it's never filming.

This would explain *a lot* Mum clearly thinks social media transed her kid, and if she wasn't trans she wouldnt have been murdered in cold blood, so social media is to blame. Smh

im hearing now, that all the nerds who got their pants pulled down while distracted by the Northern Lights, will be charged as sex offenders

Banning VPNs not only compromises privacy, but it compromises safety. Being forced to use public wifi when travelling without the option of a VPN to make that safe will just lead to compromised computers. All in pursuit of the so-called "Online Safety Act", which achieves the opposite of safety.

The lead author on all the SEGM reviews of trans health is a “hypnotherapist and Reiki Master.” You can’t make this shit up.

German court rules that OpenAI violated copyright laws by training ChatGPT on music 🎵 • May set precedent for Europe AI copyright uses • OpenAI disagrees & can appeal "The internet is not a self-service store, and human creative achievements are not free templates" — German Music Rights Society

A big reason proc gen feels so different to AI in spite of superficial similarities is exactly this!! Proc Gen systems reflect the interests and creative preferences of the tool makers, whereas AI is catch-all sludge that reflects no specific point of view. It’s not remotely the same!
