The directionality is wrong. We should be asking why so many parents are driving away their children. Parents say "my kids won't talk to me, and I don't know why", but the kids can articulate the reasons. The parents *do* know why, but they won't accept it or work to fix the relationship.

Many experts believe that estrangements are becoming an epidemic, driven by shifting family norms and changing therapy practices. on.wsj.com/4rBwger

So first off, I *have* heard it, but also this isn't about anti-country snobbery. It's just about being into just about any given genre. I listen to metal, pop, hip-hop, lofi beats to...and yeah also country. But the country I listen to tends toward Orville Peck and other queer shit.

Denny Carter@dennycarter.bsky.social

This kind of take made a Rolling Stone writer so mad they wrote a whole piece about it.

There's also a difference between knowing of it and actually listening to it. I know Carly Rae Jepsen has a new album out. I haven't heard it. Some of us might see the the Billboard list and listen to what's on it. Others might ignore it in favor of friends' recommendations.

Just got outta the TERMINATOR 2: JUDGEMENT DAY 35th anniversary rerelease and Jesus Christ, man. What a movie. They had to do all that shit for real. They had to fly that helicopter under an overpass. They had to blow up that building. They had to find an actor who could turn into liquid metal.

Insofar as this actually exists, it's mostly grifters peddling false cures, and middle-men profiteering off the red tape of our medical system. Estradiol is cheap, safe, effective, and well-studied. Companies profiting off your access to HRT does not make HRT itself the villain!

For all I know, I’m in a 60-person polycule. The weird thing about polyamory is that unless you get *extremely* kitchen-table about it, “A dates B who dates C who dates D…” has a social horizon. A might know D, but may not know who they’re dating.

It's endearing how the Boston NPR station is currently earnestly explaining how a 60-person Somerville polycule works

Hey by the way, the correct thing to do is to amplify the message and support workers. This isn’t the time to flex your cred for having hated Starbucks all along. It’s actually way more powerful and influential if you LIKE Starbucks, but choose to boycott all the same.

More Perfect Union@moreperfectunion.bsky.social

BREAKING: The union of Starbucks workers is officially calling for a boycott of the chain. @sbworkersunited.org has over 12,000 unionized baristas, and they're calling on customers to stop visiting Starbucks until they get a fair union contract.

Name the technology! That's all we ask! If it's useful, call it what it actually is, instead of "AI". Web search and spam filters are AI. So many things are! But when people say "AI" instead of naming the tech, it feels like they have something to hide, like when people say they're "moderates."

𝕁, E-Ink Sicko™@checkwithscience.com

I am director of scientific computing at a comprehensive cancer center and I can promise you we are doing *extremely* interesting and useful science using AI that is reducing time to treatment (which is often the difference between life and death) *right now*. reach out if you want to know how.

You also see this on an even broader scale! CEOs complain about how people don't like "tech." They've taken a tried and true, genuine good in the world, and then applied that label to their misbehavior. Technology is much more than what Silicon Valley is peddling at this very moment.

This is literally just companies selling drugs on the sly without a prescription till they get caught. It’s like saying that gummy candies were recalled for containing THC.

FactPost@factpostnews.bsky.social

Chocolate has been recalled 4 times since the start of Trump's second term for containing sildenafil, the active ingredient in Viagra.

I want to help, but I'm broke! Spread the word! Repost this, send it to your rich friend, send it to your favorite celebrity. Do not give me your last $5. To be clear, I'm financially secure (enough), this is to raise money for others and for the bit.

Sponsorship gets you: Your chosen name, either printed on a shirt, or written directly there. Pictures will be posted! The right to call yourself "an ally" for at least a week. The ability to be weirdly crass but feel good about it. My public gratitude, or your privacy retained, as you prefer.

"But I'm not trans!" Are you? Introspection is an important part of transition. Spend time on yourself. But I also didn't say "transition your gender." You could change other parts about yourself!

I've accepted that buying even a single item online will get me added to a mailing list, but there ought to be rules against emailing me promos before you've even shipped the item. No I don't want to buy more bras before I've even gotten to try on the first!

Look, I'll certainly agree that they're both in service of fascism, but I must remind folks that Nazis weren't burning out-of-print novels that were poor sellers. They were burning medical and cultural research on trans folks and gender in general. *What they burned* is a crucial context!

Defund the police is the moderate position. The radical position is to abolish them, investigate their abuses, and prosecute them to the full extent of the law.

Richard M. Nixon@dicknixon.bsky.social

“Defunding the police”—like other things, as I said at the time—is down to phrasing. No reasonable person is for that. But if you ask, say, “Do you want the police to be free to catch criminals, and not be babysitters and social workers?” a lot of people will agree, especially police.

Yeah okay, I completely dropped the ball and didn't do anything. Surgery tomorrow, and again, I don't really *need* anything, but if someone can catch @samreich.bsky.social 's ear or some other sicko... Let's name my tits for charity?

Ivy - "Perfect Pervert"@ivynyx.bsky.social

I've got my BA in 8 days! Now soliciting suggestions (kinda joke, kinda not) for kickstarter-esque donation tiers. So far I've got the bottom "just wanted to help" reward, and the top "name a titty (2/2 available)" reward, but filling in the middle is eluding me.

back in the 2000s we had this v passive agressive website 'let me google that for you' youd use for forum responses that would painstakingly n slowly show you a web search being typed so as to imply you could have done that yourself anyway people pay $100/mo for this service now its very popular

ok so a lot of people seem confused about why people are against the "ai" thing so im gonna do a list of the problems i have with it
