Nobody who makes $500,000+ can ever be culturally normal tbh, much less this guy. Imagine thinking a trans person is culturally abnormal but being a rich zionist technocrat involved in politics is "normal."
Culturally normal is a dog whistle.

This technology that people in school administrations and higher education are demanding everyone get behind because it's "the future" and "we just have to accept it," which is, nfn, the language of abuse.

The rise of deepfake pornography in schools: ‘One girl was so horrified she vomited’
The use of ‘nudify’ apps is becoming more and more prevalent, with hundreds of teachers having seen images created by pupils, often of their peers. The fallout is huge – and growing fast

Stories in Games Aren't Problems, They're Solutions
Lots of video games have terrible stories, but that's no reason to give up telling them.

Corporations like Netflix and HBO are going to buy and trade back catalogs of our most important art like they're Pokémon cards just so they can keep upping the price on streaming services, jam more ads into them, and use the library to make AI slop. Piracy is a more valid moral choice than ever.

I *do* like That Hideous Strength, and holy shit it's so often on my mind the last ten (and especially five) years.
I don’t even like That Hideous Strength, but these tech bros keep making it relevant.

What Zoe says here is important: if you're extending sympathy to the student here, what good is that doing for the student and their academic future? This person is a psych major, presumably wanting to go into therapy. If you're not able to think well, how are you gonna help people with their needs?
I’m going to throw nuance on nuance here.
Not all sincerely-held religious beliefs have a place in the marketplace of ideas. Some of them are offensive and should be called out as such.
HOWEVER, these are bad faith actors pushing these offensive ideas, with aims that must be recognized

This is insane shit. Yesterday when I saw that Open AI response to the suicide was to victim blame, I really thought that would be the lowest shit. But here, Google acknowledges AI is bad for kids but FUCK IT deal with it, parents. Trash company. They don't need to do this shit.

👏 WHICH 👏 PARENTS 👏 RIGHTS?
Parental restrictions on library access continues to remain incredibly unpopular for a fourth year in a row.
The vast majority of public school parents are not looking to limit their children’s access in the library.

When you default to assuming you're in the sky not on the ground.
I hate this sort of meme.
“The only difference between the parties is whether the power to destroy human civilization rests in the hands of leaders who think gays, women, and black people should have their rights acknowledged.”
Even if true, how is Rainbow B-52 not infinitely preferable?

i've been stewing on this for a few days (far too long for a Post), partly because "woke" is such an utterly meaningless term at this point, partly because i have been on the (far) left for so long that i no longer know what is and isn't mainstream.

"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

Gavin Newsom is anti-trans and I will never, ever vote for him.
Gavin Newsom suggesting that 25 years of age is too young to transition and agreeing to right-wing entryism of concern trolling about trans people in sports. This is your opposition leader?
I will never vote for Gavin Newsom anyone who thinks trans people are actual humans will follow suit.

I don't think it's even right to say the voting public doesn't care. I think the truth is a lot of voters may generally find trans identity moderately confusing but also *none of their business*.
on the other hand, they find an obsession with harming trans people - say it with me - deeply weird.

Spanberger’s GOP foe spent 57% of her ad budget on anti-trans attacks. Spanberger focused on the economy. You see what won. trib.al/fkMmsR4
The simple truth told time and time again in the polls: The public doesn’t care about trans issues. Voters care deeply about the economy, inflation, & prices.
