Today marks 2 years since I started HRT. 2 years since Ken Paxton and the rest of the Texas GOP lost the control they had over my life and I was finally allowed to be myself. I’m proud to say that I voted against my attempted killer today. Fuck you, Ken.

I’m a Texan trans kid who almost died because of Ken Paxton. The world should know what he’s done. This was very difficult for me to write, but given what's at stake, I cannot bear to stay silent about what I went through at Paxton's hands. He must not be rewarded for what he's done to trans kids.

Repost if $30k would change your life right now

Matt Darling@besttrousers.bsky.social

I don't think $30k is a life-changing amount of money. Median American born in 1980 will have $2m in income in their lifetime. It's a 1% increase in earnings.

No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

Israel's GovMaps has now removed this imagery from its map platform. soaratlas.com/maps/asia-is... Here it is, in the full original resolution. The fidelity of aerial imagery really highlights the complete destruction. Thanks to @soaratlas.bsky.social for hosting the imagery.

This shows the reality of Gaza in shocking resolution. I've scraped and exported all the imagery, totalling around 2.5 billion pixels at 13cm resolution, for safe keeping, in case they decide to take this imagery offline. If this happens, keep an eye out for access.

I'm joining the war on slop with cheap, fast flyer commissions. If you know someone who is asking the computer for event posters, tell them to ask me instead. Get the guarantee!

if you don't know your own address it's because you specifically don't have to know it. people that detached from reality shouldn't be in a position to drive social policy for those of us living in reality

Ezra Klein asked Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang about AI making kids worse at math and reading. Huang’s reply: “Does it matter?” Then he said he doesn’t know his own address or phone number. “We’re going to lose some fine intellectual dexterity.” www.nytimes.com/2026/09/23/o...

LLMs are weird little things that operate in a parallel space to "minds" and simulate some of a mind's operations by reverse engineering their internals from their output inside them it's all spirals and helices and 8192-dimensional shapes. don't be fooled. keep the daemons sealed. don't take deals

Using A.I. for a shitpost/meme completely misunderstands what makes them funny. High effort ones are funny because someone put a ton of time into something silly/stupid. Low effort ones are funny in large part BECAUSE they're janky and handmade.

After intensive discussion I have concluded that it is necessary to build an entire Potemkin internet exactly as it appeared in 2005. You get Wikipedia, forums, news sites, whatever, but no short form video, social media, or AI. When you graduate college you get the password to the real Internet.
