I think that the biggest problem with romance and relationships is that people are afraid to be friends with their partners. Bryan is my best friend and was my best friend before we got married. That's the most romantic thing I can think of and could have ever thought of

So I saw someone saying not to use bisexual as the big tent term for the Dem party but I think bisexual is actually the perfect term. Bisexual allows for a certain amount of choosiness depending on interpretation. I've always seen it as having some preference where pansexuality has none.
Sarah McBride explains how Democrats’ ‘big tent is bisexual’
The Democratic congresswoman from Delaware told an audience at Crooked Con, "You can’t build a diverse working class coalition if people don’t feel like you like them."

It can feel so fucking grim to be trans right now, and last week really showed that there IS a way through this. We are resilient, and there are way more of us than there are of them.

Bluesky suspended Sarah Kendzior today for no reason whatsoever. She just shared excerpts of her articles, which were as always incisive and not offensive at all. Hey @pfrazee.com this is super not OK. I know her- we've interacted a fair bit via chats and her work is essential.

Brianna Ghey was not murdered for being Esther Ghey's daughter, and Esther locating the problem of her daughter being murdered by radicalised cis kids in her daughter being trans is a result of her class loyalty. She simply wants to prevent kids from being trans. She gets no more grace from me.

Heads up for folx playing Arc Raiders: Embark has openly stated (in an interview with GamesRadar+), that the game uses the same AI voice tech as The Finals, and the CEO has talked about using AI to generate 3D models from YouTube rips.
If you're anti-AI you should not be playing Arc Raiders!

Not to be the fun police but I do hope people know that Arc Raiders does use generative AI for voice acting, and by supporting the game you're letting higher-ups know that this is an okay practice.
They try to downplay this on the Steam store page by describing the AI usage as vaguely as possible.

Progressive groups are calling for Chuck Schumer's ouster after centrist Dems' shutdown cave. Dem senators' phone lines are "exploding" with the same demands. So far, Senate Dems don't have a ton to say.
