Oh and the icing on the cake:

For a decade now, Nelnet has refused to update the legal name on my account, even after I sent them my name change order multiple times, because they said their "system doesn't have an option for trans people."

So every month I get a bill in my deadname.
Law school cost me $190,000.

I have paid $206,000 since graduation.

I now owe $223,000.

I pay $830 per month, and next year it will be more.

I genuinely believe law school student loans are designed to make pro bono representation impossible.

Democrats get labeled as obsessed with trans people yet Republicans spent their time during the shutdown doing this.

When I say Spotify is Surveillance, I don’t just mean it’s creepy that they are tracking what music you listen to and using that data to serve ads.

I mean your Spotify data is deeply intimate and can be used to glean information about you like your daily habits, your moods, and more.

Gonna keep boosting until we meet our goal. Palestinian people still need our help and will for years to come as they resist ongoing Israeli violence and work to rebuild their lives.
Flooding in Gaza camps has been a huge setback for so many Palestinian families. Maysara and I have been staying in touch while they try to combat the winter rains on top of everything else. Emergency funds were needed for medical care, blankets, and repairing the tent.

It’s never ok to use the R slur.

It’s never ok to discriminate against and berate disabled people.

It’s not an acceptable term to describe anyone, for any reason.

He’s emboldening his base.

They’re going to use it more often.

Please speak out. Help protect disabled lives.

If I see "AI" on your page:

- If we have a preexisting relationship: call you out on it and weigh your response carefully
- If we DO NOT have a preexisting relationship: block you and move on with my life.

You want to be an artist or writer? THEN BE AN ARTIST OR WRITER.

DO. THE. WORK.
This is one of those times where societal pressure can really work. I disengage with anything I see using AI and I tell them so. If we don't fight this, we could end up in a terrifying new paradigm of digital slavery an order of magnitude worse than we currently have.

Why am I so against generative AI in games?

Because I simply do not want my initial reaction to art to be one of suspicion and scrutiny, AI slop is fundamentally damaging my relationship to art and artistry, and I am deeply resentful that it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed.

The complete abolition of LLMs and other generative AI in all creative aspects of the video game industry (art, music, voice over, etc) IS the compromise position.

"AI" is theft. That's a fact, not an "extreme take."

NOBODY

THIS
"Surely there's a middle ground here?" The CEO of Helldivers 2 studio Arrowhead says people "jump to extreme takes" when debating generative AI, and that there needs to be more nuance in the discussion.

Turns out the real threat to women and children were the Republicans in charge. They scapegoated trans people to deflect from their own sex crimes against women and children.
As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

Also, they clearly want a nationwide abortion ban.

Dems should have held the line.

Democrats say that’s a nonstarter, arguing there are already limits on abortion access. The dispute could torpedo a deal, leading to higher health insurance premiums for millions.

They're trying to sneak a nationwide abortion ban into the bill and many Dems are actually considering caving.

They've held the line for 40 days... it's pointless if they cave now.

Call your elected representatives!
"Hyde language" would be a ban on anything related to abortion. So, any Senate Democrat that caves is agreeing to vote to implement a nationwide abortion ban in exchange for healthcare subsidies.
Democrats are likely to get a vote on an extension later. But they've already gotten similar votes. Republicans already vowing to block an extension without major changes to the ACA, like adding Hyde language.

There’s a disturbing lack of outrage over ICE’s aggressive tackling and arrest of a non verbal autistic man in Chicago.

Just like the lack of outrage over Rodney Taylor, a disabled double amputee who’s been held in solitary for months.

Disabled lives matter too!
Disabled People are Being Mistreated in ICE Detention Facilities
Why is no one talking about it? Where's the media? Where's the public outcry? Another example of the pervasive nature of ableism and how society views disabled people as expendable.

Bail out the people who are harmed, not the bad companies that caused the harm.
my hot AI take is that regardless of how we feel about it, bailing out the big AI companies may be *necessary* to avoid long-term systemic harm to real people

as always, the system acts too late to contain the blast radius
