Hele konflikten mellom en liten gjeng "transforskere" og transpersoner, pasientorganisasjon og andre forskere handler om hva slags forskning, ikke om en er for eller mot forskning. www.forskersonen.no/debattinnleg...

Ingen grunn til å tro at trans­personer vil være skeptiske til etisk og forsvarlig forskning

DEBATT: Forskning på transpersoner bør ikke ha som grunnpremiss å redde cispersoner som «feilaktig tror» de er trans.

Fascists aren't gay. Fascism frames sexuality as an exercise of power, not attraction. They don't care about gender; they hate queers because we engage in consensual activity among equals rather than engaging in predation and humiliation rituals. None of this is hard to understand if you try.

Jeg syns det er bra at man setter søkelys på religiøs intoleranse, men jeg syns det er litt påfallende at når muslimske trossamfunn er mot homofile får de masse kritiske spørsmål, men når kristne trossamfunn er det får de noen hundre tusen på Spleis og en invitasjon til #Dax18.

Dette meiner muslimske organisasjonar om homofili

NRK har spurt sju store muslimske organisasjonar i Noreg kva dei meiner om homofili. Berre to svarte.

Det er så mye tøys og tull og kompliserte modeller. Kan ikke staten bare bygge og betale for sykehusene våre? Er det ikke meningsløst at sykehusene selv skal låne penger av staten for å finansiere restaurering og nybygg? #dax18

Dette er et blindspor. Den overveldende majoriteten av kollektivbrukere i rushtiden MÅ reise da pga jobbkrav. Vi hadde unngått rush allerede hvis vi kunne. Dyrere Ruter-buss vil bare gi mer bil. www.ao.no/eurobonus-pa...

It will be worse than this! Most websites will be forced to ask you to send your ID to a third party surveillance service, adding a credit card won't be enough for most. Bluesky asks for your *social security number* if you live in Texas now, due to this shit. Call in, and kill it.

This will be the US if the SCREEN Act passes. Call your Senators before August 5 and tell them that you oppose the SCREEN Act, KOSA, and the KIDS Act. Use the official lookup tool at www.senate.gov/senators/sen... to find yours by state.

No. I’m gonna be WORSE. I’ll find a way to be MORE queer and annoying.

There is no version of yourself you could become that would satisfy the people who hate you. So you might as well be who you are.

Isekai as a genre is exploding in popularity because it appeals to a universal desire to get hit by a truck rather than live in the 21st century.

I feel like the world is slowly realizing that “adapting to climate change” os something we should have started years ago and that the best adaptation is “prevent emissions as much as possible so that adapting is easier”

Jez San, founder of Argonaut, donated 2 million pounds to the conservative party in 2025. He was the biggest individual donor in Q1 of that year. Please, be informed before purchasing anything. You can emulate PS1 games on basically any device these days (even your phone) with ease.

The TOS being so strict that they control you offsite is the problem; sites like Patreon and Kofi have offsite clauses too. The social criminalization of the suggestion that somewhere you might be doing nsfw is a problem. It's branding a person as obscene and we need consumers to stand up for us

I truly feel for kids growing up now who will have to unlearn using AI, but if you've been writing for more than 2 years it is the easiest thing in the world to just Keep Doing The Thing You Did and ignore AI tools!! It makes me feel crazy that people act like this isn't the case!!!

Maddy Myers 🏳️‍🌈@midimyers.com · 5d ago

it's actually sad as hell to use AI for research when research is the fun part. you can just email people and call them on the phone and ask them questions about the thing that they have expertise in. you can read documents & learn cool shit. ok now i'm just talking about how being a reporter is fun

A dark day for human rights.

It's one large loop of quoting one another at unfinished stages in order to prop each other up, even though there are statistical errors and unethical research at play. As for that report, activists couldn't receive FOI but Wæhre was involved there.

The Norwegian Healthcare Investigation (UKOM) also wrote a report a few years ago that quoted the Cass report, even though the Cass report wasn't published yet. That report was then used to justify puberty blockers as experimental treatment and that only the national clinic (Wæhre's) could provide.

4/ Just to be very clear about why this is harmful: a key feature of the Cass Review is its claim that “young girls” are being duped into transitioning, echoing the narrative of a so-called “social contagion”. Hilary Cass also blamed this fictional trend on them watching pornography.

1/🧵 We do need to talk more about the illegality and lawlessness of the Cass Review. Hilary Cass cited Anne Wæhre's then-unpublished “study” via “personal communication”. It was later published at doi:10.1007/s00787-024-02508-5 and doi:10.1111/apa.17530, and the papers have now been retracted.

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.

Amnesty UK have apologised to JK Rowling for rightfully calling out her anti-rights rhetoric. Shame on them. A human rights organisation should not cave to pressure from billionaires, especially those who wish to make supporting human rights a terrorist offence. xoxo BASH BACK

Absolutely fucking pathetic. It's not defamation to claim these groups are anti rights, it's simple fact. Shame on Amnesty. Trans rights are not up for debate, and capitulating to the hate machine just opens the door for even more marginalized groups to get thrown under the bus

Lee Hurley@hleehurley.com · 6d ago

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