i haven't watched the show yet but god the discourse surrounding bunlith is depressing. peoples' tendency to hate watch indie cartoons and nitpick them to death and talk like shareholders about it mixed with the eagerness to tear down anything made by a trans woman. we can't have anything

I see some folks I follow reposting some seriously inaccurate fearmongery panic stuff about the NVidia Update Gamers I dont like GenAI either but it's not the boogeyman. It can't take remote control of your system and force you to make NFTs. Thats not what this setting does. Don't repost lies.

NEW: I spoke with current and former EA employees to understand how the latest layoff round played out and the realities of daily life at the U.S. publisher. The short version? EA is controlled by an executive class that "cannot fail, only be failed." Workers, then, will always pay the price.

Remember like, a decade ago when saying something even half this stupid and bigoted would have ended anyone's political career on the spot? It would have been 24/7 news coverage with analysts calling for him to resign. There would have been public outrage. I miss living in precedented times.

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

Yep. We queer elders were there in the 90s and early 00s, and we've heard every single anti-trans argument before when we were in school and they were anti-gay arguments.

In 2005, Time Magazine did a cover story on “The Battle Over Gay Teens.” It’s the same handwringing we see now from “concerned” adults on behalf of young people. “Kids are disclosing their homosexuality with unprecedented regularity–and they are doing so much younger.” time.com/archive/6596...

White people calling the police on a Black toddler and police responding are why it's always and forever the racism, not "economic anxiety."

I spoke to the mom of the 3-year-old soccer star who was left "thinking he did something wrong" after a league official called police "due to a disturbance between parents" The youth sports league said they launched a review and reached out to the family

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Look, I get it. My parents didn't pay any attention to me or care about my interests either. But using AI to tell you about your kid doesn't make you a good parent either.

There are some people who claim "oh, Dems in blue states will never shift towards enacting anti-trans policy" Meanwhile Colorado is literally enacting a medical detransition protocol for trans youth on medicaid.

Erin Reed@erininthemorning.com

Rather than cover the cost of gender affirming care for trans youth under medicaid, Colorado is voluntarily enacting the republican "taper and detransition" policy for youth on medicaid and dropping coverage. WTF.

Every Democrat politician who runs an ad targeting trans people forces us to consider whether they need to lose in order to make it clear that human rights are not negotiable. Nobody running those ads opposes fascism, they simply want their party to be doing it.

Thelassa reposted

every day lately its republican ad: liberals are the new racists. we used to be the racists, but now they're the racists. we miss being the racists. when will it be legal to be white? :'( democrat ad: why should YOUR taxes pay for neovaginas in schools??? are we sure I didn't die and am in hell?

Tell me more about how much better it will be for trans people as long as we "vote blue, no matter who." Both parties hate us and want us removed from society. There is no pushing these people to the left after they've been elected because Democrats are not left wing.

Erin Reed@erininthemorning.com

Josh Turek of Iowa, Democrat, comes out with one of the worst anti-trans ads yet. Not only is it an anti-sports ad, it proposes a ban on federal funding for gender affirming care. That would hit all medicaid and medicare patients, and any ACA federally-subsidized plans as well. Horrific.

We tried "everyone is entitled to an opinion" for three straight decades and all we have to show for it is four thousand cases of measles and a death cult running the government. It's time for people who don't know what they're talking about to shut the fuck up.

It's cool how any time we have a Dem president they can't do anything at all cause mean ol' Congress and SCOTUS won't let them but a single madman can do literally anything he wants and no one can stop him.

It always comes back to this for me; if AI was so good, such a disclosure would be a selling point. If AI was everything these slop jockeys said it was, they should be proud to let people know their game was AI made. But the proof is in the pudding, and they can't stand that people don't want it.

Truly just ghoulish behavior from the Democrats. And yall wonder why trans people are pessimistic about this gov ever helping us. They say they will include us but inclusion into what? They only accept us when we make them comfotable; it’s never about enabling us. open.substack.com/pub/erininth...

The point of the post is Talarico backtracked on support for trans rights and anti-trans psychos still hate him, so don't bother compromising. Nowhere does it even mention voting. Not everything is a campaign mailer

Thelassa reposted

Also, the company that did the mailers is linked to several shell companies, and the entities are unknown. This is how you know it was done by a rich person to try to affect the election in the state of Texas.

Elon Musk is pumping hundreds of millions of dollars into Texas and the next thing you know parents started receiving flyers about how they held. Their kids can get help for being transgender. The address on the envelope is invalid and they were mailed from a print shop in Wyoming not Texas.

Thelassa reposted

Well, *now* JD Vance will take it seriously. He's OK with raping children but everyone knows how he feels about killing family pets. [taps earpiece] I'm being informed that Amy Acton's biological mother is white, so in fact JD Vance does not care that she killed family pets.

it's hard to describe to young folks how cool airbnb was when it first launched. just weirdos and spare rooms for like twenty bucks. we stayed at a guy's house in oregon who was a "bear safety expert" and when we asked him what to do if a bear attacked you he replied, completely seriously "i dunno."

Airbnb is banning its hosts from making guests do things like “stripping the bed, taking trash offsite, or washing and putting away dishes.” The hosts....are not taking it well: www.wired.com/story/airbnb...

I loathe seeing thumbnails for games that already look good getting the deep fried AI filter and shitty AI flyer font put on screenshots for them. I mean, I'd hate it anyway, but the games already look good what are you even doing?

It's so weird how we learned that there's pedophiles in our government and corporations, then they propagandize the populace via a vulnerable scapegoat, and now we have the potential for pro-pedophile laws Real fucking odd that don't you think?

Doctors and nurses are voicing their objections. I-638 would require EVERY girl who wants to participate in sports to go through biological sex verification. That means expensive, invasive, and utterly gross examinations. Protect our kids and let them play. Vote NO on I-638
