honestly some of the most apocalyptic impacts of "AI" will be shit like this, and most of the doomsday dipshits predicting SkyNet can't be bothered to notice or care
There have always been humans who thought: 1) The world will end soon 2) It will happen in a cool, exciting way 3) It’ll happen to me personally 4) I’ll be a martyred prophet, or a warlord, or otherwise special 5) People who don’t see this are lesser “Sexy apocalypse” is a great phrase for that

Portland has The soccer culture in the US and that soccer culture is a trans flag with the three arrows superimposed on it. They can fucking try
I tried here to explain why anti-trans activists are targeting Portland, the struggle I have with covering some of these issues as a reporter and how transgender athletes belong in sports. Exclusion is incompatible with equity.

‘The Matrix’ creator Lilly Wachowski on J.K. Rowling and the new ‘Harry Potter’ series: “She is funding trans genocide. J.K. Rowling funds trans genocide, full stop. So, if you support ‘Harry Potter,’ you’re supporting trans genocide.” variety.com/2026/tv/feat...
The timing... I finished digitizing this video of Gloria Steinem from 1988 YESTERDAY. youtu.be/CMn40K_nHR0?...
I’m in a photo in this! One detail not in here, when Open Signal handled AV for city hall, that was just 1 person doing that & all the broadcast video. Now we have 2, & the dedicated city tech. The city employees working these meetings really are great at their jobs!
For Portlanders watching from the outside, the transformation has largely been a story about the politicians at the core of it. But inside City Hall, there’s another group of people that has had to figure out how to keep the engine of government running amid all this change.

Transphobes: "I'm gonna make a ballot initiative that ensures only 'biological' girls play girl sports! No trans allowed!" (Writes the initiative in a way that would allow trans girls on HRT to easily 'prove' they are biological girls.) www.opb.org/article/2026...

For those of you playing along at home yes @nytimes.com has been lying to us this whole time

The NCPPR's Free Enterprise Project has lost its anti-DEI proposals in 2025 shareholder votes at Costco, Apple, John Deere, Disney, Goldman Sachs and Levi Strauss. Free Enterprise Project says it's the "premier opponent of the woke takeover of American corporate life and defender of true capitalism"

One of the things that is totally lost on Carville is that conservatives will never believe that you aren’t secretly connected with <insert marginalized group>. It’s just that when you trash them, you send the message that you won’t fight for what you believe in and you’re a fake piece of shit.
And everyone, when evaluating James Carville's winning advice, please consider what Gavin Newsom's anti-trans swing has done for his numbers:
This thread. 😂 I possibly love the Bluesky version of SoundOfTheForest more than her on TikTok.
If I ever did stand-up comedy, I would just get on stage and live my life making observation as an autistic person. People would find this hilarious. When they laugh I would turn and say, is my life a joke to you?

And that's the the crux of the problem. When my computer crashes, it stops working. When there's a render error, I can see it. Hell, if my heat stops working - my heat stopped working. LLMs appear to "work" all the time, and the failure mode is only experienced later as real-life consequences.
