can't help thinking about how Gavin Newsom palled around with actual white supremacists and said that he agreed with their transphobic views, but the Democratic Party is crucifying anyone who ever said Hasan Piker's name without enough negativity in their tone
The US State Department has designated A/I, a small Italian provider of open source infrastructure for political activists, as a global terrorist group. They will reach into our very homes to grab us — if we let them. www.state.gov/releases/off...

This blog post describes how we used AI to help us rewrite a C library (giflib) to Rust to mitigate memory safety vulnerabilities.

yelling “wake up sheeple!! they’re coming for the race/IQ guys!” to a room vacated months since by academics fired for teaching about gender or quoting Charlie Kirk’s less flattering lines
telling that so much corporate and corruption malfeasance goes uncovered every day in the U.S. but a columnist not being able to punch down against a tiny subset of marginalized people at high risk of daily violence was worth a feature at the new york times dot com

I've never seen such an effort to censor a document as I have the Amnesty International report on gender critical groups because of JK Rowling. They removed the report from the Wayback Machine and now I got a DMCA strike on my Google Drive for having it. It was deleted and removed from my account.
NEW: Last week, HHS released a new report alleging that gender-affirming care is a hotbed of fraud by predatory doctors. @billiejsweeney.bsky.social and I dug into it and found numerous problems. This piece was done in partnership between @accountabilityji.bsky.social and @assignedmedia.org.

"Imagine having to choose between not driving and outing yourself as trans every time you enter a club, buy an alcoholic beverage, go to a building where security personnel check ID (an office building, your kid’s school), vote, rent a car, check into a hotel or are stopped for a traffic violation."
Jesse Thorn@jessethorn.bsky.social · 2w agoM. Gessen has written a truly extraordinary piece about the "soft fascism" faced by transgender people in America, and by trans people in Kansas particularly. Beautifully written and reported, deeply humane. I really hope you'll read it. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/13/o...
Trans men used the bathroom they were required to use in Kansas under their new incredibly severe statewide bathroom ban. As a result, the police were called on them. They call themselves the Kansas Compliance Crew. Subscribe to support our journalism.

tired of ppl who dont know how semver works :/ 2.00 comes after 1.ff not 1.99 obviously

Yeah so NYT asked me ~2 yrs ago to write an op-ed about how the Colorado is running dry, & what we should do to keep this exact thing from happening. I said "There's only one real answer. Bill farmers by how much water they use. Duh." NYT editorial staff freaked tf out & cancelled the piece.
Elias Thorne@truebe.horse · 4w agosaw an article today about an az politician saying how great it was that we're now in emergency drought conditions because the farmers get automatic bailouts and I feel like way more Professional Rural Understanders just breeze by sentences like that. www.paysonroundup.com/news/arizona...
I strongly disagree with using violence, for a number of reasons, but if I did believe in violence I wouldn't find this essay convincing. Hancox-Li argues that we should judge actions on their effectiveness, and agrees left-wing violence can be effective, naming Mangione and Robinson as examples.
Liberal Currents@liberalcurrents.com · 4w ago"Their actions ensured that they struggled to achieve sympathetic media coverage outside of a few left-wing outlets, struggled to attract material or legal support (the ACLU, for instance, refused to touch the case), and failed to achieve positive virality in the larger culture."
Based on my experience with corporate moderation I'm guessing what happened here is Tiktok has an internal rule when a video gets too many joke reports regardless of if the video content is actually misinfo Incredible work, there is one horse
Ben Collins@bencollins.bsky.social · last mo.TikTok has incredible moderation team. Our InfoWars video about Multiple Horse Theory — the idea that there are many horses in the world and not just one — has been fully deemed misinformation and lost the formal appeals process. Confirmed by Larry Ellison: There is only one horse on Earth.
