SCIENCE!

Have you ever noticed that most of the major AI company logos look like buttholes? For my Sick Burns Friday post, I judged and ranked each of them based on how much they resemble hole: www.burnsnotice.com/ai-company-l...

I've spent weeks profiling orgs listed in Amnesty UK's reports. Methodology, definitions, & inclusion criteria should have been explicitly stated. They could've republished a revised version with that included. Instead, they capitulated to anti-rights bigots. www.transgendermap.com/issues/group...

Amnesty have issued an apology to JK Rowling and the rest. Adjust your expectations, and donations, accordingly www.amnesty.org.uk/latest/an-ap...

Ah, got it. I was thinking minor as in key signature, not children. Thanks for clarifying.

“Chesterton’s D,” they called it

As cognitive dissonance goes, it’s hard to beat “Amnesty International abandoned their mission to get their payday from Big Trans”

Hey, if you’ve got a better explanation for why Amnesty International supports trans people, JK Rowling would like to hear it

The darkest episode of DS9 is only clear in retrospect: It’s a heart-rending episode in which Vedek Bareil sacrifices his life to keep negotiating with Cardassia to head off a war The second time you see it, you know that the war comes anyway, and his noble death looks small and pointless

A Wallace 68 sticker over a Malcolm X poster is a great background gag. It's like Leslie Knope's office in there.

Computer. Zoom in.

Made me flinch too. It was comforting to hear @inbedwiththeright.bsky.social talk about how Orwellian the language produced by TERFery is

Parker Molloy@parkermolloy.com · 2w ago

I'll go through it: Okay, sure... those are some values. Gotta say, though, that the words "dignity and respect" (used twice in this screenshot) cause me to flinch because that's the go-to line that the UK government has been using as they strip trans rights over there. But sure, fine values /

He’s so brave for this

Hey does anybody have any ideas for how I could find humility and reflection? I can never seem to find the time

We need a historically accurate remake of Frog and Toad

OK look, I’m not a fan of Marvel or homework either, but Loki S1 was actually pretty good. It might even make you angry that we didn’t wind up with Kang Dynasty instead. Fuck Jonathan Majors

Tom Hiddleston says MCU fans should watch ‘Loki' before watching 'Avengers: Doomsday' “I would always say, if you haven’t watched it, go and do so. And, if you have watched it before Doomsday, go and watch it again" (via @techradar)

I was already all in before the ellipsis

Trump: "The Democrats are gonna terminate the filibuster as soon as they have a chance and then they're gonna approve DC and Puerto Rico as states. They get 4 more senators, 12 more congressmen, like 40 electoral votes ... you don't want to see me cry."

Me: “I wish media were taking Rowling’s SLAPP suits seriously” Monkey’s paw: [finger curls]

Yesterday, WIRED learned that Madison Square Garden was suing us for our accurate reporting. We stand by our work. That’s why we’re removing the paywall from two of the MSG stories they don’t want you to read, making them free for everyone.

Exactly. They want soldiers *and* trans women to be forced onto T

rax ‘levon honkers’ king@raxkingisdead.bsky.social · 3w ago

it's not an own to point out that all these fucking guys trying to deny trans people their hormones are so into HGH and whatnot. they don't care either way about 'gender affirming care.' they want to be he-men and they want trans people to die. to them the two projects are perfectly coherent

Philip Bump@pbump.com · 3w ago

This framing, from one of the better-read political newsletters, reads like a parody of cronyism. But it isn’t.

So Rowling has spent her weekend: (1) Threatening to sue Amnesty International out of existence (2) Posting upskirt photos of a trans woman, and (3) Snarking about how righteous she is to be doing those things

If you’re in the closet, don’t wait for your career to end to come out. It’s not too late now, but might be too late then. Instead of living as a beautiful butterfly, you might die as useless goop in a sac made of your own spit

Reminds me of getting estrogen prescribed and being warned that it could cause gynecomastia. What do you think I’m doing this for.

Business Waffles@jilldilts.bsky.social · 4w ago

The language elides the fact that the significant change in psychological health and future outcomes is POSITIVE and LITERALLY WHAT THEY CAME TO THE GENDER CLINIC TO GET

Grim once asked me to come on his little video show for an interview about trans rights and when I showed up, his producer let slip that there was someone else on with me. It wasn't an interview, it was a debate with a TERF. I left immediately.

It's been really cool to hear about and see other people's admiration for black and white movies since making this. Gabe's passion for the genre was fun to listen to. Check it out if you haven't yet.
