lol. Rowling also calls herself “liberal” though she is intolerant and close-minded, which are precisely the opposite of its dictionary definition. She’s succumbed to an obsessive hatred of other human beings. Her behavior needs to highlighted whenever possible. Don’t buy Potter. It funds hate
But...but Rowling's website has an FAQ that says she's not transphobic. 🥴
Billie Jean Sweeney@billiejsweeney.bsky.social · 5d agoThe study, biased as it was, had nothing to do with surgery. Nor is surgery available for young ppl in Finland. Chapter 3 in the transphobia rage machine: Rowling reposted the columnist’s inflammatory post, again depicting the 5 month old study as new. Rowling ofc added inciteful words of her own
An epilogue: journalists and politicians who get their information about trans ppl on X are getting a highly distorted view that’s shaped by transphobic rage. This is a great (if terrible) example of it. Don’t get information about trans ppl on X
Billie Jean Sweeney@billiejsweeney.bsky.social · 5d agoChapter 4: This all went out to Rowling’s 13.7 million followers, who retweeted and added their own bigoted thoughts. Thus, a 5 month old study whose limited findings were themselves contested had taken hold on X as “new” evidence. (With a plenty of gas poured on the fire by Mahlburg’s falsehoods)
Here’s what @assignedmedia.org wrote about the study and its lead author assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

Chpter 2: The columnist, Kurt Mahlburg, also ramped up the rhetoric exponentially, with a false and inflammatory assertion intended to incite hate.
Chapter 1 of the X propaganda machine; Today, five months later, a columnist for the Daily Declaration, a right-wing Christian nationalist publication based in Australia, wrote several hundred words on X, promoting the study as if it were new
A letter challenging the paper was published in the journal in which it appeared onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epub/10....
As we reported: “The paper omitted key details necessary for evaluating its claims. Patients were assessed 2 years after their first contact with a gender clinic, for example, rather than after treatment was actually initiated. No information was included about when, if ever, treatment was offered”
The paper claimed that receiving gender-affirming care did not improve the mental health of Finnish adolescents. The claim was highly contested at the time bc of its lack of supporting evidence
A glimpse at how hateful transphobic propaganda is stoked on X. Prologue: A Finnish doctor and anti-trans campaigner co-authored a paper five months ago🧵
From our friend Sakher : "Some of you still care… but sadly, many have stopped looking. 💔 We are hungry. My family needs food, and we need medicine. I’m not asking for comfort or luxury—I’m asking for the basic things we need to survive. If you can, please help my family." tinyurl.com/help-sakher
I just tried watching I'll Be Gone in the Dark and I had to turn it off. I just couldn't take the weird glee pretty much everybody involved had about true crime. It creeped me out.
A family in Canada are trying to get the coroner to investigate the MAiD death of their Oma. They say she was not competent to consent to the lethal injection. This was an 83 year old vulnerable senior living in a care home. This is what disabled advocates warn you about:

I've seen people try to rehabilitate roy Lichtenstein among cartoonists. "he brought us into the mainstream" "he made us matter" fuck you. he stole and he profited and he left us in the goddamned dust and so did everybody who forgave him
That would have made so much more sense, but would also have robbed the movie of its emotional climax so I'm torn. I still think Jean's characterization is strange for her character, but whatever. It worked for the movie.

Erin Reed@erininthemorning.com · last wk.Another Iowa Dem releases an ad in response to anti-trans ads against her. "We need to protect kids, and we need common sense rules to keep sports fair for boys and for girls. Parents know what's best for our kids. Washington needs to stay out of it." From Lindsay James, IA-02.
The word complicity doesn't do this participation justice IMO.
The media outlets that are breaking all of these Irregular incidents into separate headlines and making it sound like all of these companies are making Terminator film-like strides are participating in the political project of AI, just as many are participating in Trumpian fascism.
When you hear a fantastical story about AI, you should ask yourself, "How does this serve the political project of AI?" Because, as others have pointed out, that's what AI really amounts to: a political project.
