chop up leftover pizza and toast it in a skillet with a little butter then pour scrambled eggs over it, yeah?

I grew up in a lower income immigrant family and we ate at Red Lobster for "special days." But we also understood the White House should not look like the inside of Red Lobster. It's condescending to assuming working ppl are culturally illiterate bc their experience is shaped by their limited means.

Grindr is training its AI on your photos, your age, and your taps by default, without asking. This video shows where the app buried the off switch. The stakes are high on an app like Grindr. Numerous countries criminalize same-sex relations, so being outed through your data can be dangerous.

Muppets Les Miserables. Eponine and Cosette are the only humans.

Anthropic is out with new nonsense about Claude (or the collection of models called Claude) deserving moral consideration and/or be able to feel distress, so my inbox is filling up with journos asking me to comment. I've also got a day job, so here is a brief set of public comments on this: >>

Recently, I did a wonderful interview with the indefatigable @emilystjams.bsky.social about trans people's online information environment and why there are very strong incentives to spread panic. It was a wide-ranging discussion that I think is more relevant than ever.

Democrats have a cisgender problem

if you donated to talarico or perltola or any of these other turncoats back before they underbussed trans people, you can actually ask for your campaign donation to be refunded. that's a thing that happens. campaigns notice when they start having to do a large number of clawbacks.

My kid and trans people across America are about to see $100 million worth of ads in the next two months about how they are what’s wrong with everything. Would it fucking kill a politician who’s supposed to be on their side to just be on their fucking side?

If you're in Texas and would like to offer some words to Mr. Talarico and his campaign, feel free to use this as a starting point. (alt text for copy+pasta)

Dear Americans, Exactly how many shit sandwiches are you prepared to eat before you do something? Your tolerance for embarrassment and punishment is shocking. "Don't tread on me" turned out to be a T shirt.

Hey I'm not actually done talking about Dolly Parton. 🧵 Specifically I want to talk about her album 9 to 5 and Odd Jobs, released in 1980 (not the soundtrack to the film 9 to 5, that's a different thing). The whole album is about work, with most of the songs focused on a different type of worker.

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

The Dodgers giving Donald Trump - a man who is withholding healthcare & fire relief funds from their state - a World Series ring is the single most disheartening & disgusting sports news I have ever heard. Shame on the owners & on every player & coach who went to kiss the ring.

Fuck every single Democrat that has ever been willing to compromise on trans dignity, rights and humanity. I hope you assholes are pleased with yourselves. I don’t know if you could’ve prevented this moment, but you should’ve been fighting every step of the way.

On Damnatio Memoriae and de-Trumpification. (Gift link) Been waiting for this one to go up. Please read and share.

not sure what we call this. two potatoes, two scallions, one jalapeno, one egg. salt, pepper, and vinegar. hell yeah I'm putting ketchup on it.

I really don't want to get into political stuff, but these are intensely political times: Dear fellow white people, don't stand up to an injustice done to another group because white people might be next. Stand up because it's an injustice. It's really not that complicated.

Please join me in supporting this.
