It appears ICE murdered someone in cold blood today and their plan is — per usual — to create a fog of lies so the killer does not face justice. We simply can't let that happen. The shooter has to be arrested and so does Bovino. They can't just kill people on the street.

AI will always be slop, Mr. CEO of Microslop.
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella says people should move beyond calling AI 'slop'

"We need to get beyond the arguments of slop vs sophistication and develop a new equilibrium ... that accounts for humans being equipped with these new cognitive amplifier tools as we relate to each other"

This is why you rarely see the anti trans side going after Hunter Schafer or Kim Petras. They went on puberty blockers and transitioned as teens. They're massively successful and living happy lives. They don't want to highlight that.
The reason they're so focused on trans teens is that people who transition younger typically blend into society better. To the extent that they're willing to tolerate our existence in society at all, they'd rather we be easily identified by our appearance/voices/etc.
Cis people really have no idea how it feels to watch a regime hold a press conference to admit, on camera, the pogrom against trans people they've been waging for 11 months is not only real, but they're going to double down on genocide and try to wipe out all the children first.

Guy really gives away the game here that this isn't about "children" when he straight up says that trans adults aren't real.

“There’s no governor that’s done more pro-trans legislation than I have”

Tim Walz would like a word…
Now that the GOP is attacking him as being too pro trans, Newsom is pushing back. Hmm.

I read the essay. It was quite possibly the most remedial college paper I have ever seen. I wrote better papers when I was 16, and that girl is a junior pre-med major.
It's not great that a student can turn in a bad essay but vaguely point to the Bible and religious beliefs as an excuse for not following the actual assignment and terrible writing. That's not what college is supposed to be.

The professor did nothing wrong but she was pulled off the course anyways.

You can't separate this from the Atlantic article claiming their are too many students with disabilities. It's a moral panic meant to push out young people with disabilities from access to resources and to reify ableist bigotry. It's exactly what they did to trans people.
