My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

Hard Drive was saddened to her about the passing of Molag Bal. We may not have always agreed with his methods, but he worked to enslave all of humanity and harvest their souls with the grace and poise the position demanded. Our thoughts go out to all his Daedric brethren in this difficult time.

Wanting to cure autism is like wanting to cure freckles, or cure belly buttons, or cure disliking cilantro.

It is not the fault of autistic people that society has arranged itself in a way that doesn’t account for their needs.

Been saying for a whole decade, the message needs to be:

Vaccines don't cause Autisticness, and also Autistic people don't need to be prevented.

Screw Wakefield, but people viewing autism as a bad thing helped the fire spread.

The fact the New York Times is on a crusade to prevent a Muslim nominee for New York City’s mayor from getting elected while the most powerful people in the country openly talk about ethnic cleansing and dismantling democracy is why I will never stop despising that garbage fire of a newspaper.

Nothing makes you realize how dumb the super rich in Silicon Valley are as much as their love of Curtis Yarvin. This is a guy whose big idea is that diversity is ruining America so much that we should dismantle democracy and our universities then install a dictator to make America white again.

If you want to know how serious our decline in the UK, when North Carolina did what the Labour Government and EHRC have done, the then UK Government told LGBT+ people to beware travelling there.

Just to make it abundantly clear, they're using modern data analytic tools to track Americans by political affiliation and even autism diagnosis to first take away those people's rights (including autonomy and self-defense) and then take -them- away when it's cost and politically efficient.

Anyways, here’s what the actual “Ultimate English Wizard” has to say on trans issues
Article from Gaytimes.com depicting the headline “Sir Ian McKellen urges queer community to stand up for trans rights BY JORDAN ROBLEDO” The article is accompanied with a photo of Sir. Ian Mckellen at a pride parade, wearing a hat with a rainbow ribbon and waving at the camera. The screenshot also depicts a quote by Mckellen that reads: “The problems that transgender people have with the law are not dissimilar from what used to be the case for us, so I think we should be allies really.”

Montana is extremely lucky to have Zooey Zephyr and SJ Howell standing up in front of openly transphobic lawmakers who wanted to pass a bill that would /take trans kids away from their parents./

Thank you to them, and to the Republicans who crossed the aisle. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Her party, the Alternative for Germany, campaigns on a platform that is anti-immigrant and defines family as a father and a mother raising children.

My favorite part is how some of these VPN providers claim they can stop the NSA from spying on you. You'd have to be insanely gullible to think a $5/month VPN subscription is going to stop the world's most powerful spy agency.
swiftonsecurity.com SwiftOnSecurity @swiftonsecurity.com · Feb 12
The ironic thing about VPNs is they are only safe because they cannot see your traffic because it's already encrypted by HTTPS. 15 years ago, VPNs were untenable because you trusted them with private data they could spy on. They are only enabled now by innate privacy the ecosystem already provides.

Microsoft found in its own AI research that it encourages less critical thinking. Unfortunately, this isn't poised to stop the mass AI integration into all levels of schooling, including early childhood education, where critical thinking skills should be formed.

Where are the defenders of the US as Elon and nameless private agents infiltrate US agencies, commandeer US servers, steal US data, seize US money, march US officials from US buildings? Who sallies forth from the FBI? The CIA? Congress? DoD? The media? This is a coup—and America appears defenseless.

Is "I know I take a great personal risk in sending out this message" a thing federal officials say when there's not an active actual coup happening, or when there is an active actual coup happening?

Idk it's too early to say, it's only been 24/7 since fucking Friday

He sent a company wide email and posted it on the company blog saying the company had promoted people "from less represented groups" who didn't deserve it and that those people sued Tesla

He didn't mention whether or not his brother deserved a board seat, oddly
Inbox - Exchange May 31, 2017 at 2:37 AM Elon Musk Doing the right thing To: Everybody About four years ago, I sent out an email describing some of the core principles of Tesla. Since then, we have grown from 4,500 people to 33,000, so the vast majority of the company has never received this note. We are redoing the first day orientation and Tesla handbook to more clearly capture and emphasize these points, but I thought I should send this out in advance. In my email below, please pay particular attention to the first point on the list. Tesla has to be hardcore and demanding, not for the hell of it, but because we are fighting for a good cause against giant, entrenched competitors who just want the status quo to continue. The list of companies that want to kill Tesla is so long, I've lost track a week doesn't go by without some "Tesla Killer" article. The only way for a little company to prevail against those much larger companies is to work faster, smarter and harder. The passing grade at Tesla is excellence, because it has to be. However, this does not give license to anyone to be a jerk. It is incredibly important that people look forward to coming to work in the morning. One of the best feelings in the world is to be part of a team that is fired up to achieve what most industry experts say is impossible! For many companies out there, work is like jail - employees look forward to Friday and dread Monday. That's horrible. We never want to be like that. Part of not being a huge jerk is considering how someone might feel who is part of an historically less represented group. They have endured difficulties that someone born or raised in a more privileged situation did not. This doesn't mean that there is a different standard of performance or that you can't give critical feedback. You should - doing anything else would be an insult to the hard work it took to get there - but don't ever intentionally allow someone to feel excluded, uncomfortable or unfairly tr…
