if I, for instance, were insuring a business against litigation I would be paying close attention to a cohort that appears to a) be on a legal hair-trigger b) have the backing of what amounts to a slush fund for such litigation; i.e., it’s not just the individuals, it’s an organised front
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.

ah yes, today is a great day for relitigating the war in iraq
iraq did not attack the usa. al qaeda was not in iraq before we invaded
the bush admin lied about wmd's to invade
the war in iraq was objectively much worse than anything trump has ever done so far, by a lot

America got “the president is killing terrorists, don’t question it” in the 2000s too. But unlike now:
-The US had been attacked
-Al Qaeda was a terrorist group and planned more attacks
-They were in areas the US military did not freely operate, where arrest was risky
-Congress authorized the action

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?

It says a lot that AI “artists” are so creatively bankrupt they think writing prompts is a difficult, arduous task.
You realize coming up with a prompt is what a real artist would call “having an idea,” right?
It took them weeks of sleepless nights to have some basic thoughts.

11 officers present to arrest Luigi Mangione "for taking 40 minutes to eat his McDonald's meal" including NYPD officers who were far outside jurisdiction and had invited themselves. They can be heard interrupting Altoona police radio to announce they'll be arriving despite being ignored by local PD.

This is a complete lie made to look like it is real. There is no story in the Times of Israel nor and news release by the IDF. This is propaganda pretending to be factual news. Ignore the liars of Qatar, Gaza and the IRI

They're run by a MAGA fascist and her billionaire backers who spread the murderous “Great Replacement” conspiracy. It’s unforgivable that mainstream news outlets from CNN to NYT have quoted a libsoftiktok-style hatemonger as reputable source on antisemitism. It’s like citing the KKK on civil rights.

Reminder that they accidentally gave away recently that this account is based in Israel.
we all got cowed into avoiding "virtue signaling" as if the public affirmation of socially agreed upon ethical principles was somehow cringey instead of a significant part of what a "society" even is. now all there's left is vice signaling, and it's reshaping society.

I now owe $223,000.
I pay $830 per month, and next year it will be more.
