"I think refusing is actually the more hopeful, expansive vision of the future than the one that is telling us that the future is already settled and decided. That's my daring idea. Just say no."
"This promise of an AI future, is really just a collective anxiety that wealthy people have about how well they're gonna be able to control us in the future."

Just gonna drop this here. Amazon is forcing a new AI feature on authors whose books are available on Kindle. This is a petition to give us the choice to opt out, because currently, we cannot.

In honour of Rob Reiner, have David Moore's thread on the best sword fight in movie history and exactly how nerdy it is.
As you may know, I have stopped using Twitter, and have decided to reproduce some of my more memorable threads here for posterity. Here’s one I hold wrote after a particularly engaging swordfighting lesson.
Buckle up, swordfighting fans, because I *have* studied my Agrippa!

All of the trans woman competition bans follow a simple logic. They see us as men, and they see us competing with cis women in any capacity as unfair because they see cis women as inferior in every aspect to even "failed" men.
I cannot stress enough how much these people hate and detest women.

I would really like to see whether someone holding a sign that just says “I oppose genocide” would be arrested. Like, what’s happening now is ridiculous, but the signs contain two statements and it’s not helpful to complain that you can’t make statement 2 if the issue is actually statement 1.

I realize that my primary job is helping people sort out their romantic lives but... good god damn at some point I'm going to need to write a VERY long diatribe at how elevating romance to being more "important" than friendship is why so many folks are single and miserable.

thread. no really. follow the off-threads too please. if you've never actually thought about this stuff then do so.
Whenever I meet a "feminist" who wants to abolish sex work, I instantly know I'm talking with an unserious person who is not willing to do the work.
Let's imagine, for the sake of the argument, that they were right and all sex workers were trafficking victims who wanted to leave sex work. 🧵
