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...

I’m not sure I understand what he’s going for here.

ideally i would love to support minority rights but in this case the minority in question is a minority of the population, so it just isn't worth it, mathematically speaking

The Democrats' baseline view on trans people has long been that eradicating us would be just a step too far, and they sat quietly while the right called that support. They aren't backing down now, they're just setting the record straight.

An increasing number of Democratic leaders have begun to push back against their party’s unflinching support for the transgender community this midterm season. The shift comes after years of Republican-backed attacks against Democrats on the issue of transgender athletes.

*bong rip* given how much of the genre rests on the idea of Our Heroes overcoming hordes of unwashed undesirables in Glorious Melee by virtue of their Elite Skull Shape, the firearm, in the context of Fantasy fiction, is an anti-eugenecist element. In this essay I will

If someone near you is secretly recording with glasses, yell “META stop recording!” It works even if you’re not the owner. (This is more effective than the Disney trick, since there are AI tools to remove background music.)

What’s a thing from your area of expertise (or special interest) that you think it would behoove everyone else to know?

We should really work together, hand and hand, to focus all of our community’s poorly-suppressed and totally ruthless bullying energy on the single demographic we all agree actually deserves it: Harry Potter Adults in the year of our lord 2026

Love has never needed permission from labels 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 My emptiness of gender lets me see that clearly. Anxiety tightens around transgender lives right now. Why must their chosen bonds still pass through someone else’s gate? Why is the soul they claim treated as a request instead of a right?

At the Ghost in the Shell panel. Not even the screenwriter and producer have seen Shirow in the flesh. Shirow communicates only by photographing hand written notes and sending jpegs to his editor, who relays info to the staff.

If you live in a major American city, scenes like this are probably happening near you. Intensive "boot camps," teaching men how to talk to and pick up women, are taking place across the country as people grapple to recover a lost art: face-to-face conversation. https://cnn.it/3QETCli

The visual styles of anime were simply more diverse when it was all drawn by hand. The move to 3D had a lot of benefits, but at the cost of making anime more homogenous. But it was only a matter of time until artists learn how to transcend their tools.

I'm glad they're starting to release anime that "looks" like anime again. Starting to see shows that feel like they could have come out in 1996. I'm not jumping on the "New thing bad" bandwagon, but I think we're all tired of the same shows that look like they all came from the same factory.

It's an objective fact that Elon Musk is a mass murderer. He intentionally caused the deaths of millions of people. There's no caveats to this, no alternative explanations, no defenses, no missing context; that was the sole reason for doing what he did.

I love how the big thing AI keeps making clear is that the people micromanaging things like this when humans are involved only do that to feel in control and not because they have some standard the people in their employ are failing to meet

This is what happens when you use A.I. instead of an artist 🤔 🍆 🎇
