It would be remiss not to mention in this post that Wendy Carlos, the composer for Stanley Kubrick's The Shining, is a trans woman, now 86 years young.

This is the thing, Hilary Cass can pretend that she's not suggesting anything extreme but merely by using the language is correction to natural course of gender she will be promoting various forms of domestic abuse by the language itself.

I’m sorry, but if we hold everyone in the Epstein files accountable for their involvement and punish each one for their crimes to the fullest extent, we will begin to collapse a long-standing system that has only given power to elitist excrement and I don’t see a motherfucking problem with this

The AI bubble RAM crisis is caused for non-existent problems by non-existent money for a non-existent infrastructure to meet non-existent demand to make non-existent business and will utterly destroy real business based on real demand and real infrastructure built with real money for real problems.
I understand framing the AI bubble RAM supply crisis in terms of stuff like video game consoles because nerds can conceptualize that but the framing does really undersell the sheer magnitude of how it's going to fuck up everything that even touches a computer.

The headline doesn't even begin to describe how wildly unethical the background of this story is, which is that the survivor only shared the story with one person- her psychiatrist- who is Kamel Doud's wife
His novel was praised for giving a voice to the victims of Algeria’s brutal civil war. But one woman has accused Kamel Daoud of having stolen her story – and the ensuing legal battle has become about much more than literary ethics.
‘I felt betrayed, naked’: did a prize-winning novelist steal a woman’s life story?

When you see all the people labelled rude, essentially shadowbanning them under the default settings, remember that literally *every single* rude label has been manually applied by a mod. All of them.
It's not a filter grepping on cusses, it's someone physically clicking a button.

By their own numbers, almost 50% of what Bluesky moderation gets up to is just manually labeling replies as rude. 👍

oh man, I will admit that while I rarely miss things about twitter, I do miss the chaos of getting online and finding out JCO is posting but not knowing if she's doing some lightly incoherent racism or delivering two to the chest and one to the head of some right-wing weirdo

The drunk uncle theory.
You don’t argue with the casually homophobic uncle at Thanksgiving dinner to change his mind; you argue so that the closeted cousin at the kids table knows there’s safe people and better possibilities out there

agree with this (hah) but also think a particular mistake the left made for a long time online, and still makes to an extent, is failing to understand that the person whose mind you may actually change is the one reading the argument you're having, not the one you're arguing with
The secret to engaging in social media debate is knowing you will never win anyone over. The best you can hope for is to have people who already agree with tell you you're awesome. You might great a dopamine thrill from the righteousness of your anger! Fine benefits, all. But you will never win.

Crows are very intelligent. Intelligent enough to have discovered vengeance. But not yet intelligent enough to have discovered paleontology.
And they're even further away from discovering vengeance paleontology, the best kind.
