I think a number of press outlets badly want there to be a groundswell of anti-trans feeling, because the ownership/senior editorial of those papers have absolutely cooked their own brains on transphobia. It seems to be largely an elite psychosis!
the harris campaign said the “they/them” ad didn’t sway the election.

one of the trump campaign’s top strategists this week said trans rights isn’t in the top five issues for swing voters.

when will the press stop talking about us like we’re a liability and start looking itself in the mirror

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.

Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."

Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

My favorite is when there's a left turn lane where the stop line is further back from the other lanes but Mr. Oblivious lines himself up with the people going straight and then doesn't trip the sensor so he doesn't get an arrow.

Noticing things is a superpower and I encourage more people to use it.

Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."

After reading this, the funniest part is how the entire article is B&C admitting that AI use here has been a wash if not a hindrance that developers hate the more the use it

And then concluding with “they need use AI at every step of the process, then it’ll be faster for sure”
“In a new report, management consultants Bain & Company found that despite being ‘one of the first areas to deploy generative AI,’ the ‘savings have been unremarkable’ in programming.”
AI Coding Is Massively Overhyped, Report Finds
The AI industry's claims about AI coding assistants boosting productivity significantly appear to be massively overblown, per a new report.

Ohio is already gerrymandered to shit. They will say that they will redraw the maps in accordance with Ohio law; this is a lie. The Ohio district map has been illegal, BY OUR OWN STATE CONSTITUTION, for YEARS.

It’s depressing. I hate the vile political clowns who do this to us.
Ohio Republicans launched a joint legislative committee to redraw the state’s congressional map Wednesday. The redistricting process is required by state law, but Democrats warn it could open the door to another round of partisan gerrymandering amid a broader national effort by the GOP.

Hi authors! Please remember to file a claim!
AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.
