These men take these jobs because they like to abuse women. This is not an aberration - it’s what cops do.
An ICE agent in Minneapolis pinned a pregnant woman’s face into the snow and knelt on her body.
She was also dragged across the pavement by her wrist.

"How do you expect to win back men...?"
We don't want those men. They are the hot dogs on the floor of humanity and we still have all these nice prepped hamburger patties if someone would just let them cook.

Things have been a deep kind of dark for a while, but this is… this a different thing.
My ray of absurd hope in all of this is that the censuring of jimmy goddam kimmel of all people seems to have been the additive needed to cross a significant normie "WTF is happening" threshold. So there's that.

I have lost all patience with the apparently unshakeable conviction that striking a reasonable, moderate pose means assuming the sincerity of transparently pretextual horseshit. Donald Trump does not care about reducing crime in DC. He is testing and normalizing paramilitary deployments in cities.
Is that what he is doing? Fighting crime? Phew. I thought he was using federal power to assert power over the country’s capital

Boiling the frog works. Martial law being declared in the nation's capital city is barely a trending topic and we're not even through the first year of the administration.

More to the point, it's not just "religion" that works like this. How you know something (epistemology) and what things are real (ontology) are core philosophies of science just as much as they are of "belief."

And that's been what's wrong with so much of how NYT and other anti-trans media have approached this: they're acting like trans people are making demands for MORE rights when we're really mostly just asking for our EXISTING rights to not go away. It's a sleight of hand. They know what they're doing.

Anil gets it. A lot of critics are still in their "put the toothpaste back in the tube" phase with AI. We are well past that. We have to address what it is today.
But I also know that telling people this doesn't actually help them get past that phase.

We’re all on Bluesky because we think a better alternative was a good thing, instead of just saying “social media sucks”. Instead of just saying “all AI is useless”, saying “some folks find some utility here, so we should offer ethical, sustainable alternatives pretty fast” is the best option.
