The doorknobs open the doors. The windows are always either open or shut. We are always either upstairs or downstairs in this house. Everything is the same as it always was.

On Monday, ICE agents violently restrained a woman in Minneapolis, dragging her in the snow and pinning her face down as onlookers shouted the woman was pregnant.
In response, one agent fired a taser into the crowd. “Who wants more?” he taunted, according to a WCCO reporter. trib.al/vdWc3qj

When you do stuff like this and it isn't covered as the massive scandal it should be, the permission structure to do equally awful stuff is quite high.

There should be a constitutional mechanism for removing a president. Not impeachment, something that actually works, maybe like a catapult

The obvious purpose of video job interviews is to give employers a plausibly deniable reason to not hire disabled and other visibly marginalized people.
You gotta wonder how much the purpose of such as short form video media, is the same. It creates a media environment curated to exclude.

52% voting to leave the EU was an unstoppable mandate, but 95% voting not to destroy copyright is "no clear consensus".
Brutal (but fair) Guardian headline today
Only 3% of respondents to the UK government’s consultation on AI & copyright supported their unfair plan to hand AI companies people’s work for free.
95% said AI companies should license training data.

If you walked into the voting booth and put a fucking check mark next to "Donald J. Trump" for President, you cannot fucking say "I didn't vote for this". YES YOU DID. You checked the box, you posted the memes, you owned the libs, and now we are all being rewarded for your hatred and racism. Thanks.

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

The exclusion of trans people from public and academic spaces, removal of protections by human rights institutions, dehumanising language used by state news media, judicial tolerance of trans directed hate crime, withdrawal of medical care: all of this is very familiar to genocide scholars.

I’d say that I’m disappointed by these “anti-DEI” efforts not being more prominent in the conversation around our current totalitarian moment, but it's pretty consistent with what’s happened since the book ban push targeting schools and libraries since the Floyd protests.
reminded of a similar, though more manual, process in NC back in March:
“Course descriptions, student handbooks, class syllabi and webpages were among the university publications listed for censoring.“

the problem for transphobes is that at this point nearly everyone has met or at least interacted with a trans person and figured out that they're just people trying to live their lives. this is why they want to ban trans people from existing in public at all costs
11% of Britons say they feel 'very negatively' about trans people which just highlights how much this is a top-down hate project with around 95% of the media hating trans people and a high percentage of MPs.
Hello. I’m a “same-sex attracted person” (loathe that description of my sexuality) & I support Trans rights, like the majority of female “same sex attracted people”.
