I'm always saying this, I've watched the space evolve over the past decade and it's been the result of deliberate choices, some of which were not easy or popular at the time.

The extent to which Games Done Quick has helped to steer the larger speedrunning community - one of the most hardcore video game enthusiast subcultures there is - into becoming something so welcoming, inclusive and supportive astonishes me

“If a woman dares to show herself in public in any way, then she can and will be sexually harassed with the aid of genAI-driven tools that can easily turn her face into highly realistic pornography” is an absolute red-alarm human rights disaster
The end goal of Grok sexual harassment is to make women afraid to be visible. It’s a punishment for daring to exist in a way the perpetrators can’t control. There’s no one solution to this, because the problem isn’t just technological. It’s cultural. It’s misogyny. This is just one expression of it.

Those of you who believe in mortal sin ought to recognize this for what it is.

hot damn, a friend informs me that his doctor apparently prescribed him a 3-day course of azithromycin (500mg/day) to take... *if* he got diarrhea when traveling, with no further diagnostics. just, "here's antibiotics, take 'em if you feel shitty". and people wonder why AZM resistance is on the rise

the reason people sometimes act madder at democrats than republicans when republicans do impossibly evil shit is the same reason why, if you hired an exterminator to handle a roach infestation and he showed up to feed and play with them instead, your first instinct wouldn’t be to yell at the roaches

One funny thing Elon Musk figured out about the media is if, instead of providing comment to reporters, you email back an automated reply saying "go fuck yourself," the reporters will just invent their own plausible-sounding defense of your conduct to balance their stories instead of punishing you

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have shown Alzheimer’s disease can be REVERSED- not just prevented. Using a potent neuroprotective compound called P7C3-A20, they found RESTORING balance to a central cellular energy molecule (NAD+) not only PREVENTED disease features but REVERSED them, EVEN at late stages.

In practice arguing for gender as a construct while not fully pushing sex as changeable has led to cis people, conservative and liberal, seeing sex as set in stone truth and gender as either fake gay shit to hate or fake gay shit to be polite about that doesn't actually change one's preconceptions
