Say it with me.
4 frame comic. 1st is the silhouette of two podcaster. Text reads In a world where trans people's dignity, humanity, and existence are subject to debate, every trans suicide is a murder. 2 is a silhouette of a swimmer. Text reads In a world where trans people aren't allowed to participate in their community, every trans suicide is a murder. 3 shows Gavin Newsom. Text reads In a world where trans people are thrown under the bus because their rights aren't considered a "winning issue", every trans suicide is a murder. 4 shows Lia Smith. Text reads In a world where trans people have to fight every instant of their life simply to have the right to live in peace, every trans suicide is a murder.

Der reichste Mann der Welt ruft englische Neonazis offen zur Gewalt auf: „Gewalt wird auf euch zukommen. Entweder ihr schlagt zurück, oder ihr sterbt!“ Wenn die EU ihre Werte ernst nimmt, ist spätestens jetzt die Zeit für ein Verbot von X in Europa gekommen. Er rief auch zum Sturz der Regierung auf!

I'm very proud of this painting of our cat, Zoey! Being new to watercolor in general and not knowing how to paint creatures did not hold me back! ✨ I'm feeling very motivated to improve as time goes on :)

Treated myself to this hardcover collection of Midst comics! Been a huge fan of the podcasts, so to have this kickass piece of art in my collection brings me immense joy 🥰
A hand holds a book titled "MIDST: Tales From The Cosmos" with an intricate, cosmic-themed cover featuring celestial designs and vibrant illustrations.

Perhaps it's time to tap the chart again. Left-handed people were once seen as sinister (the word sinister, from Latin, originally meant "left" or "on the left side") so kids were forced to be right-handed. However, with advances in science it became clear […]

Chart showing the prevalence of left-handedness since 1880. It skyrockets from 3% in the early 20th century to 12% in the 1960s, when it flatlines at remains constant to the present.

[EU politics, call to action]

if you live anywhere in the EU, and your country is in the "undecided" category of fightchatcontrol.eu you should totally go through their little thing to prepare an email to all MEPs of your country that are still undecided.

Did I just send 93 emails? Yes.

vibe coders have discovered "coding"
thoughts on using experts (humans) to unblock vibe coders when AI fails? been thinking about this a bit, if everything is trending towards multi-agent systems and we're trying to create agents to resemble humans more and more to work together, why not just also figure out a way to loop in expert humans? Seems like a lot of the problems non-eng vibe coders have could be a quick fix for a senior eng that they could loop in
