A decade of trans advocacy has taught me people believe lies because they want to, not because they don't know they are lies. They believe trans people will regret our transition because they want us to regret our transition. They believe we are a "social contagion" because that is how they see us

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

“AI is coming to take our jobs” no it isn’t. It’s a CEO named Gary taking some shitty advice from a VC who has never had a real job in their life, trying to maximise their quarterly earnings by firing as many people as they can get away with to make number go up, and it isn’t sustainable

I just hate that every few years massive peaceful protests break out and without fail the protesters start getting beaten gassed and shot while every media outlet and politician from both sides of the isle say shit like "oh peaceful protests are fine but THIS ONE just went too far".

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

Rounding up people at Home Depot looking for day work and small local restaurants means you're not raiding the factories, meat packing plants, and job sites of big Republican donors.

Important thing to beat people over the head with: Trump has turned American cities into warzones and for fucking what? Prices are way up, jobs will be way down, the dollar is worth less, and now the highway is blocked off by cops. Maybe the Great Mythical Immigrant wasn’t the problem after all.

It's 2015. President Barack Obama has accepted a "sky palace" jumbo jet from the Qatari government, which he'll own after he leaves office. "Everybody relax," he says in an interview with the New York Times. Everyone does. The networks then televise the military parade in his honor on his birthday.

AI is not designed to answer questions, it is designed to generate an answer. It’s going to take a lot of people a long time and a lot of wasted money to understand how different those two things are.

The thing to understand is that an LLM is not in any sense reading and understanding your words. It is not interpreting and producing “factual claims”; it is interpreting and producing “completions that are possible.”

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.
No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

This is, and I'm not kidding, 100% down to the "men don't think they can be wanted, so they have to be needed" vibe, except modern society made it so they're not needed and lots of dudes have never put in the time or effort to actually develop the skills to connect with people they want to date.

What they want is a SCOTUS precedent declaring all sex discrimination is subject to rational scrutiny thereby allowing for broad regulation of people's lives on the basis of their sex (see Trump's sex definition EO). They see trans athletes as a foot in the door to achieve that.

Thread… I fell for it for a while too yall.
Backing this up: the @altnps.bsky.social account is BlueAnon Hashtag Resistance grift.
Almost 800,000 people on here are following a totally-not-real account claiming it's a group of rogue park workers and who are now posting cryptic nonsense to make it seem like they're sending messages to the deep state. Also they're selling resistance merch. WTF are we doing man?
