We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom.

Of course the majority of people don't support puberty blockers
I wouldn't either if all I knew about them was all the made up trash the media reports about them
That's the main issue. The lies reported as facts. The transphobia reported as facts. The coverage of trans people.

This is absolutely the best story for me to debut on the same day I find out Meta has been stealing my fiction to train its AI.

being an indie bookseller in the helltimes has felt both very stable and very stabilizing, and part of me wishes everyone could be on my side of the counter for a little while, because I think it would help some of you be a little less cynical and doomy right now. so here is my VERY anecdotal data:

Holt shit so much this. (AI still makes errors all the time. But also it tries so so hard to be extremely risk averse. Worst of both worlds."
If you want to live in a world where everything isn't run by AI then you have to accept human error.

The Victorians! All the othering and repressive bullshit, but this time backed by SCIENCE.
Obviously things weren’t a beacon of equity beforehand, but sex, gender, and especially and particularly race were picked up and “studied” by “experts” who couldn’t study their head out of a plastic bag.

Yeah, the spread of information (and therefore misinformation) had something to do with it, but the most dangerous fucking thing they could have done was codify their prudish white aggressively gendered nonsense.

A totalitarian/authoritarian regime is a just another cult. But there is no cult that can take over an entire country.
In order take over an entire country, the cult has to bend the rest of the country to its will.

This is one of the shared delusions of American Exceptionalism, for traditional conservatives and liberals. They always throw that "peaceful" bit in. In practical reality, you literally cannot engage in protest (peaceful or not) without significant, often violent, harassment by the state.
Peaceful protests, of course, are not “illegal.” A government ban on peaceful protests would violate the First Amendment. The goal here seems to be intimidation and fear to chill free speech.

Our individualist culture makes our reflxive impulses into an agent provocatier. We "naturally" expect having more experience or education with something to be rewarded with authority, gatekeepimg, and praise privileges. Unlearning behavior is the hardest part.

The worst part of this is that all these government officials probably have their kids vaccinated although they will lie and say otherwise. They are just trying to kill the populace.

The thing about federal bureaucracy is that all the institutional knowledge that makes them work invisibly in such as making sure your milk doesn't contain formaldehyde, is stored inside people who would make twice as much money in another job.
