The anti-trans propaganda push is one of the best examples I know of real-world disinformation in action.
Part 3: "The astronomical rise in stories about trans people that I’d collected over the previous year told a different story. This massive, messy dataset was brimming with increasingly vile headlines that only seemed to metastasize with time. ... two years later we know how the story turns out."

I have a friend who said, of Starfleet Academy, that this took them out of it - that seeing a person in a wheelchair in the 32nd century seemed unrealistic, since medicine in Star Trek "should be able to cure whatever was wrong with them."

That's not the case, for any number of possible reasons.

Only bad thing about this is that it won't float. The old lego boats could be in the water and that is as ages ago! Even lego technology should have advanced better and not regressed.

Literally - Cass used the fact that children diagnosed as trans enough to be put on puberty blockers continued to be trans as they adolesced, as proof that puberty blockers were a problem. They were hoping more children at the service would stop being trans and looking for a means to make it happen.
They see the existence of trans people at all as a negative outcome.
a clinic that provided services to 12,000 people being closed on the basis of 8 complaints perfectly captures the nature of the uk 'trans-debate'

So on Friday the 13th there's a new Howling Bells album?

I'm going to be insufferable about how y'all need to listen to them. Also Juanita Stein's guitar tone is fantastic.

it's literally impossible for an LLM to do a historian's job

it's not even LLMs sucking it's that they need data input to do anything and where's that data supposed to be coming from without historians

never met a computer that can dig through a thousand year old book in a library

Reposting these are one of those things that give me anxiety. But having crap economy also gives anxiety so I have to side on the lesser one.

Even the small things really help.

A quick reminder my Gothic Paris books are re-releasing March 10th and you can preorder them in order to get this exclusive novella!
(you can also buy a new UK edition, that would also count).

Who else gets an "oh no" emotional spike whenever they see a photo portrait of someone posted on social media?

Turned out to be an event announcement but damn, for a moment I thought someone else had died.

I think we need more photos to re-normalise non-awfulness.

It's even harder to keep a conversation in IRC for me, and impossible over several days. But the Discord bullshit made me set up a Flarum forum for a friend sphere.

(We used to hang out on a phpBB but even if my webvhotel had an install button for that I really don't want to mess with *that*.)
