this is truly motivating me to use inshallah even more than I already do after all it’s the faster and more fun way to say “if the good lord’s willing and the creek don’t rise,” speaking as someone with Southern roots.

🧵On @thenewsagents.co.uk yesterday, school closures and the lab leak theory were offered as two examples of legitimate questions that were hard to ask. Both have in fact been asked constantly since 2020. But here's a thread on why I think they were wrong and dangerous on school closures 1/12

Twitch and Amazon are apparently planning to use streams to train Generative AI. Multiple sources tell me it will be announced in the coming months, despite some internal friction against it. Creators may be able to opt out of some training data.

Cooling off 🧊

it SHOULD take courage to reveal you're a transphobe in public, because we should be punching them

nothing says inclusion like supporting anti-trans rallies

Just announced at Gen Con. More to come.

Seattle Storm co-owner suspended for 5 home games. The WNBA has chosen a side. Now, transphobic protesters have an incentive to goad players, team staff, and fans into reacting to get them kicked out or suspended. sports.yahoo.com/wnba/article...

Seeing a lot of people making videos about feeling empty. I encourage you to look for something you can do for your community. Modern life has isolated us so much & so much sadness can be mended by doing a kindness for other people just because you can.

Look. No matter how bad things get No matter how dark Musk is more miserable than you. Take solace in the fact that not only did being a trillionaire not make him happy, he is also not a trillionaire anymore. The richest man in the world is also one of the most miserable

/j - joking /gen - genuine /s - sarcastic or serious. Use context clues to figure out which 🤨🤪

not even 2 weeks ago she was proudly at an event with Dana White and Conor McGregor - why exactly should we listen to who she thinks is a danger to women and kids? transphobic grifter.

Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham doubled down Wednesday on comments she made in a recently published ESPN article, saying it’s “common sense” to bar transgender athletes from competing in women’s sports. nyti.ms/4fhSVrt

these new artist refugees be like "I can excuse turning clean water into explicit edits of women and children but now you're hurting my metrics!"

Let alone the fact that people actually pay for that site 😂. Like what a waste of your money on top of all the other reasons why that is a bad idea.

Microsoft wants more established IP games, faster, made by a fraction of the people, and I'm sure that's a healthy and successful approach that will work out great for everyone.

NEW: Bethesda has announced a slew of new Fallout games, including Fallout 5 and Fallout 3 + New Vegas remasters. The company also confirmed my scoop last week that it is working with Obsidian on a Fallout game. I spoke to Todd Howard about the roadmap: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

Media’s framing of Platner as some kind of manopshere referendum on gender is idiotic. Women actually prefer Platner to Collins, as polling consistently shows, whereas men prefer Collins. You’ll never see this in a headline though because everything has to be culture war bs

“Use AI to brainstorm but not to write.” “Use AI to help you outline but not to write.” These are commonly proposed as “ethical” ways for undergrad students to use AI, but I’m sorry, brainstorming & outlining are just as integral to writing as the actual construction of sentences.

They won't even use the term transgender regarding their coverage in this statement, they use the term gender identity. I think the Times might be making a shift towards an editorial stance that pathologizes trans people.
