furthermore, death to "he or she." I know these are two different uses of the word "they" but, oh my god, every single english writer on earth regardless of age must stop using "he or she." how this ever failed to be recognized as clumsy and overwrought and ridiculous is beyond me but STOP.
I’ve been noticing more and more media outlets simply referring to people who use they/them pronouns with…they/them pronouns, rather than prefacing their pronouns with an explanatory remark (“Kai, who uses they/them pronouns, said…”)

Yes to normalizing this pronoun use.

The UK again shows they've lost touch with decency and humanity when it comes to trans women as a judge declared Graham Linehan not guilty of harrassment after he harrassed a trans minor and broke her phone.

Apparently the victim didn't seem distressed enough.

More here from @alyssaur.bsky.social:
Linehan Inexplicably Cleared of Harassment, Must Pay for Broken Phone — Assigned
After repeatedly directing hundreds of thousands of rabid bigots to attack a trans minor, Graham Linehan was somehow excused of any wrongdoing. Besides breaking her phone.

i cant stress enough that the 4th amendment factually doesnt exist any more, be careful out there
Police have access to massive surveillance networks that track the public whether they are suspects or not. That means probably for every 1 officer caught using the system to harass or spy on people they have feuds with, ex's, activists, journalists, there are probably 100 more we don't know about.

I'll be honest, I think ranting and raving about piracy one way or the other is a waste of everybody's time. people who want to steal your product are just gonna do that, and there's nothing you can really do about it. they were never going to be sales anyway.

Watched the new Defunctland yesterday and there’s a bit where they going into the robotics and interactive AI research being done in universities and it strikes me how much an actually very interesting and valuable field has been thoroughly poisoned by tech bros with no scientific curiosity

When the media and government move to demonise a minority it’s always noticeable how that minority gets denied the concept of including children or minors, as she was 17 at the time.

"cleared of harassment" is a crock of shit but at least they won't deny he broke her phone by spiking it out of her hands into the ground I suppose

I figure Ken Burns has one, maybe two big documentary series in him before he fully retires. What do you think they should be? My votes include Football, Hip-Hop, World War 1, Reconstruction (though Skip Gates did this one well), Iraq/Afghanistan, 19th Century Expansionism.

People who pirate books: “I just think art and literature should be FREE to everyone!”

Yes, I too would love to live in a world where art is accessible freely to all and yet artists are paid a living wage, but as this magical wagical pixie wixie land does not exist, please don’t steal from us.

1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.

It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.

It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

Transgender care saves lives.
Study In The Journal Of Pediatrics Finds Trans Youth Care Lowers Suicidality, Few Detransition
The groundbreaking study found that suicidality dropped for transgender youth receiving hormone therapy by nearly 70%, with only 7 patients of 432 discontinuing treatment.
