AI generated content of any kind undermines the credibility of whatever is being communicated
I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

This is the correct take. Stewing in white supremacist propaganda is bad for your thinking. And if think you are so savvy that it won’t impact you, you are the exact kind of mark they are slowly converting (I’m looking at you, centrist pundits).
It’s really funny how a generation will roll its eyes at parents who watch Fox News but doesn’t see why being immersed in Twitter is having the same effect. Lots of serious people show up on Fox News too but that shouldn’t be your primary source on the news.

Substitute out “gender affirming care” with cancer care.
Or congenital organ defect repair.
Or mental health care.
This isn’t about providing fully informed consequence free care, because that simply doesn’t exist.
It’s about believing trans kids shouldn’t exist.

Marx's classification of artists as petite bourgeois was before the advent of gig economy, and was in an era where artist patron programs still existed anyway, so its whatever. His understandings of the artist or performer in relation to class/labor does not reflect the modern corporate studio world

Hey so just fyi, if you're abandoning trans rights you're abandoning all civil rights
At that point what the fuck is the point of the democracy you're willing to sacrifice trans people for
This actually isn't hard at all, quit making it pretend hard because you finally feel scared too

Using the voters list as a political weapon against a constituent feels like perfectly reasonable grounds for a recall to me.
Dale Nally's recall petitioner says he doesn't listen to constituents and cites his concerns over the notwithstanding clause.
Nally responds by saying the petitioner doesn't vote and works as a proxy for a group weaponizing the recall act and the petition has no merit.

F1nn has partnered with Anne, a private, non-profit organization which provides members with bespoke gender affirming services, and lets them skip the abhorrent NHS waiting times. The membership cost, while high, is also subsidizing care (sometimes entirely) for low-income trans people.
