If we don’t signal our virtue every now and again - then so many believe they are utterly alone - “virtue signalling” is not there to say “aren’t I good” but “there are more of us than you might imagine” and “fuck you for demanding that only the brutal and the bullies may speak”

I'm so sick of discourse from supposed allies about where trans people went wrong.
Where we "went wrong" is that billionaires spent unimaginably large sums to attack us repeatedly and major media outlets have spent a decade piling on.

Low fidelity design is higher up the value chain
Designers going all-in on user-facing high fidelity visuals are abandoning their most powerful tool for influencing strategy

chocolate is good for some applications. chocolate does not go in everything. too much chocolate all at once will kill you. some people are allergic to chocolate.
i work on llms and they are my preferred subject in general and i find their invasion of all discourse annoying. i would cheerfully retvrn to an era when normal people had never heard of ai, except that this would also mean budgets were lower and i would not be employed dealing with them
part of my resentment towards LLMs is to do with them crowding out anything else we could be talking about. there are so many things I could be reading to get better at my craft but I'm presented with "you should actually get worse at it on purpose because nothing matters any more"

If an MP is doing the rounds insisting that trans women have to use men's toilets, the interviewer needs to be asking what law says so, and what the consequences would be for breaking said law. At the moment what we have is a supreme court ruling and *advice* flowing from that.
