Still clocking 70-hour weeks but devolving your communication skills to the pidgin English heard at the end of Threads as you just keep typing “family normal burger. Mom stressed children. Burger cheese, more burger” until the machine god spits out a non-pornographic video.
McDonald's has released an AI-generated Christmas ad

The studio behind it says they 'hardly slept' for several weeks while writing AI prompts and refining the shots — 'AI didn't make this film. We did'

Transition is a matter of free will and freedom. Trans people are going to do it anyway and you cannot stop them.

We are full human beings with the right to decide our lives for ourselves and no one has a right to stand in the way of that.
one of the main reasons trans healthcare moved away from strict gatekeeping and toward informed consent & GAC is that trans ppl who were denied the means to transition would simply seek it out elsewhere
What did you think would happen when you restricted access to care?

HR departments countrywide need to start treating gendercrit employees as potentially hostile. As soon as you are required to interact with one, you dust off the rulebook, you dot every eye and cross every t, and you assume bad faith at every turn.

They are a threat to every organisation.

Every facet of generative AI has made my professional life worse, without question, but THIS specific aspect has been driving me NUTS.

Clients, who have made me toil for weeks over indescribably small details, are now approving & producing in-house commercial artwork that looks like a fever dream.
I feel the clients now using GenAI to do stuff and going "good enough" when they used to nitpick at every last detail is due to them finding out all those nit picky changes take time and work they cant be bothered to put in.

I think “the president’s allies are promising to destroy media institutions the president doesn’t like to curry favor with him” is very bad, actually
New WSJ reporting: "During a December visit to Washington, David Ellison offered assurances to Trump administration officials that if he bought Warner, he'd make sweeping changes to CNN, a common target of President Trump's ire, people familiar with the matter said..."

My last appeal to the people of good hearts
My family is shaking, and our tent does not provide them with warmth.
We don't ask for much - just blankets and warm clothes,
A little safety in this harsh winter.
Your help may save them from another painful night.

all of the shit about how if you allow people to transition kids are going to be peeing in litter boxes was just the mirror image of the reality: as soon as you enshrine immutable gender difference in law you're going to have legally required Lady Meals For Her

"Individual liberty" is when conservatives decide everything. Their concept of liberty is just domination, not freedom to do what they want, but freedom to force everyone else to do what they want. bsky.app/profile/donm...
The only way to assure individual liberty is to hand unprecedented governmental power to the guy engaged in blatant democratic backsliding

There was a point where pinball was illegal in some places because it was too similar to gambling machines. Even though they literally were not paying out whatsoever, and were simple amusement games. This type of shit is probably going to lead to video games being treated similarly someday

The determination to present Peggie as "gender critical" really just shows the bad faith bankruptcy of the whole label and movement. There was no deep theory to Peggie, she was just a garden-variety bigot engaging in crude gutter-level slurs.
Time after time, these tribunals are uncovering the abuse of trans people by 'figureheads' backed by far-right & anti-gender movements. Often these cases are based on dodgy funding, fabrication, prejudice, hate, and the egos of deluded zealots determined to eradicate a marginalised group.
Decision in the Sandie Peggie case.

She was not directly or indirectly discriminated against, her claim of victimisation fails entirely, her claim of harassment fails largely and her claim against Beth Upton fails entirely. www.judiciary.uk/judgments/sa...

not sure how to square ‘no one person can be reasonably expected to pay for every media subscription’ with ‘sorely underpaid writers need to make a living’ but my inclination is not to locate that problem with any of the broke ass people on either end of the complaint
