imagine walking into a gym and telling the trainer you want to be able to lift 200 lbs. The trainer tells you instead of building you up to that, they have a device you can wear and lift up to 400 lbs. right now. But you can only wear it in the gym and you can't buy it anywhere else.

If a trans person makes a mistake and doesn't realize there's a unisex bathroom, they could be arrested and charged. This means that trans people are still banned from a large portion of public bathrooms in Idaho and it isn't always clear which ones they're banned from and which they aren't.
First they came for… This is not the first targeted attack on dissenters. They are going to keep doing this as long as people are unaware of what they are doing and they are not receiving much pushback. If you let them do this to those speaking out, you will no longer have people speaking out.
talia jane@taliajane.bsky.social · 2mo agoFeds raided the homes of rapid responders in Minnesota today on a flimsy pretext of conspiracy obstruction. Per Vitalist, they’ll characterize those arrested as being members of “antifa.”
The AI rollout is an incredible test case for the power of capital to overrule everything in its way. An overwhelmingly stupid, obscenely polluting, and wildly dangerous set of technologies are being brute-forced into every part of our lives because money says so.

New Song vs. Song episode and this one was fun! We brought on AJ Marks from Main Pod Girl and we argued which song got us dancing through the lockdowns, "Say So" by Doja Cat or "Levitating" by Dua Lipa, and why both of them seem to fall juuuuust short of main pop girl status
