Important: The anti-vaxx movement is closely connected to white supremacy. They blame the spread of measles on immigrants, and they frequently target immigrant communities with anti-vaxx disinformation.

I'm so sick of discourse from supposed allies about where trans people went wrong.
Where we "went wrong" is that billionaires spent unimaginably large sums to attack us repeatedly and major media outlets have spent a decade piling on.

May this be a reminder to watch or re-watch Star Trek: Deep Space Nine if you haven't or haven't lately. It's really a very good show.
Apropos of nothing, this post reminded me to tell you that i started re-watching DS9 because of your posts about it and I’m overwhelmed by its genius 2 episodes in. So thank you!

For a small, two person operation, our pod punches way above our weight. Don't let the silly name fool you, we're having serious intellectual conversations while injecting some humor along the way.

today is a great day to watch or listen to the latest episode of cancel me daddy. some are saying it's a "banger," others are calling it one of our best episodes ever. either way, you should listen as we talk about the fallout from Charlie Kirk's death and how we move forward. youtu.be/qE3ERIoEQwE

“Debate Me” culture is not organic, endemic, or apolitical. This mode of high jacking discourse is and has been central to a 30-year conservative training program that has produced untold numbers of people to do this for every reason but “civil discourse”
It's wild to me how ostensibly smart people cannot/could not/will not see what is so obvious.
@mmasnick.bsky.social nails it. And my hunch is we'd be a better society if the Very Serious People with the Very Serious Ideas opened their fucking eyes.

If I were editing a column about Charlie Kirk’s political genius, I would tell the writer he needed to quote Kirk’s actual political beliefs. If the writer responded that doing so would weaken or distract from his argument, it’d be a pretty good sign that the column was not ready for prime time.

How much can I scream that AI is not people? The shit that OpenAi & others make will never be able to develop into Star Trek’s Data or some Roko’s Basilisk super intelligence that will cause the rapture - sorry I mean singularity - as much as these jerks keep trying to propagandize that it will.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.
OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

If you cannot go to the bathroom at work, you cannot go to work. If you cannot go to the bathroom at school, you cannot go to school. This effectively bans transgender people from a broad swath of public life in the UK
🚨 BREAKING | Labour is set to impose a sweeping ban on trans people using any "single-sex space".
In EHRC guidance that Labour is set to approve, trans people will be barred from accessing toilets, gyms and changing rooms that match their gender.

It really does feel like a lot of formerly reasonable people have been infected by some sort of terrifying brain parasite when it comes to unthinking and total acceptance of using AI tools
Absolute worst part, imo, is the pressure from school administrators to "welcome our new overlords" by adopting AI. It's also happening in elite universities, to my utter bafflement & horror. Anyone who calls bullshit on AI is treated as if only ignorance could explain their perspective.

You know you can just not use AI, right?
You can make a choice not to be part of this.
Even if your job uses it, YOU don’t have to in your normal life. You don’t have to let your kids use it.
You didn’t have it three years ago. You can just…be on Team Human. You can choose.
