I am asking one thing of you all: do not voluntarily detransition.
That is what they want most.

replies on bluesky consistently talking about ai not working when the problem is that it works well enough that people end up working through their breaks and, in fact, doing a lot more work
i am probably working too much and i am posting all day long. these things used to be mutually contradictory

You know what would be cool? A computer program where you can input an existing railroad’s schedule, track diagrams, and equipment, then do timetable-based infrastructure planning with a basic cost estimation tool.

The world's busiest waterway is starting to get electrified. Testing started on a battery fully electric on a 10,000-ton 740-TEU container ship on the Yangtze River. The ship will be used for China's inland waterway and coastal shipping routes.

This is a famously messy Norwegian biathlete who was banned in 2023 from the Biathlon World Cup because he accidentally fired his competition rifle in his hotel room (he was also teary and apologetic then)
new most bizarre moment of the Olympics just dropped
Norwegian biathlete wins bronze medal, then, totally unprompted, reveal he cheated on his GF, she left him, and he wants to apologize publicly hoping she takes him back

This reminds me of one of my favorite stories. During a Javelin Thrust in Yuma one year, we brought two Navajo Code Talkers out to talk to the comm Marines about doing the job in WW2, get a brief on modern comm gear, and so we could ensure we still had Marines who could say they shook their hands.
I really dislike this leftie tendency to use all of the horrible crimes this country has committed as proof that the country is irredeemable, when the people who fought against it often did so *as Americans* because it implies they were a bunch of stupid fucking rubes
