sir, I worry a subset of the furries are reinventing astrology instead of working on themselves. Yes. *sigh* Yes, sir, again. I know. Yes. No, I don't think that's necessary but the diplomatic corps will need to be notified.

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

A lot of the comments on this petition go pretty hard.

iPhone voice transcription Q: is it me, or is the dictation setting in Notes a completely different (and much worse) tool than the automatic transcription that happens when you make a voice note? I can see how this could end up happening and potentially never get resolved, but afaict...

Over 2,000 alumni from Vivek’s all-boys catholic high school in Cincinnati have signed and circulated a petition demanding that he pull the ad and issue a public apology for “ignoring the moral responsibilities” of his Jesuit education. I think he’s pretty cooked.

its insane how not many people are talking about how republicans with the help of several moderate democrats are building out the largest abusive medical conversion therapy operation in modern american history

Hey remember a couple months ago when I almost died from sleep apnea and begged y'all to be checked if you have symptoms of sleep apnea? Eric Bauza just died from sleep apnea. We were the same age. Don't ignore sleep apnea.

The online part was important too, of course. We collectively decided to not interact with any right wing post or comment ever. Trolls and bots lost their power. This is a good lesson.

"Specialists" are gonna focus on how we fought the algorithm, but a huge part of it was actually about people being on the streets educating others and changing their opinions. News media refused to tell people about the crimes and intentions of the bolsonaro family, so we did that ourselves.

This book on the topic is super cool: web.mit.edu/eecsgsa/6ins...

"Hmm, this heuristic stack is getting deep"

so have any of the Democrats talked about the equal rights amendment that just needs like one signature from the archivist

This report is genuinely overwhelming, in terms of the evidence both against Trump and of a ham-fisted cover-up. Including one instance in which Ghislaine Maxwell was actually about to mention one of Trump's young accusers and Todd Blanche told her to stop talking. The media response is "yawn."

I think the loss of student power in university decisions is going to go down in history as one of the retrospectively inciting events of *motions grandiosly* all this

the biggest presidential scandal in history but the political media largely acts as if it's not happening. hasan piker has received more mainstream political media coverage over the last 6 months than trump's connections with epstein has

not hating trans people is a great litmus and low bar for evaluating someone's 1. overall demeanor and 2. if they're willing to do the smallest amount of self-change, because if they aren't, how will they change anything harder than that?

A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

David Ellison and his co-CEO Ynon Kreiz sent out an email to Skydance employees today offering up voluntary buyouts and also implementing a five-day-a-week in-office work policy. And so it begins...

looked at in longer perspective, it's striking how much this resembles the premodern system of exclusion, rents, and personalist connections, which was--and this part's important--radically worse than the modern system of impersonal rules and general taxation

When I tell people about my recent cycling injury, if I mention it's an ebike people have a bunch of untrue assumptions, such as that I was zipping along somewhere at 30 mph when I crashed, as opposed to normal trail riding.

I keep seeing people mentioning how ai-generated code lets you spend more time thinking about what the app should do, but I think there’s a need to remember that there are large groups of engineers whose role hasn’t been redefined to include that level of control and trust.
