did your brain melt this summer as Fox News ran 8+ hours of Sophie Cunningham/TERF coverage? to you I present the many trans fans, affirming parents of trans kids, and WNBA players who are pro-Black, pro-trans, pro-woman. “The majority of the fanbase is standing up saying: ‘No, this isn’t right.’”

The right is pushing its anti-trans fury on the WNBA. Players and fans are loudly pushing back

As the WNBA finals kick off Saturday in San Francisco, the pro-LGBTQ+ sports fanbase push a message of inclusion in the face of anti-trans attacks

Just a reminder that when Dems turn against trans people for power, it's also a reminder that they'll do other things for power that you might not like too, such as supporting billionaires.

Very dystopian that on the article about a A.I. data center poisoning the air, there's a little rainbow A.I. chatbot button just lurking at the edge, waiting to poison the air some more to answer your banal question

My god. A Virginia data center ran backup diesel generators full blast for 24 hours, creating a giant cloud of toxic smoke that choked its human neighbors. The government claimed there was nothing they could do.

Gen AI has given us many things such as: - vibe coded trash uploaded daily - inflated billionaire egos - copycat slop of popular indie games - huge increase in scam techniques - absurd price spikes across hardware - mass scale theft of creative works - increase to cost of living - mass job losses

How they got the money at all?! So much risk and debt when so many teams struggle for a fraction of that money in funding to make games that don’t put people in debt and no overheads to cut into the profits cos they don’t shackle to tech bros economy.

The developer behind Teach My Little Sister How to Drive, a driving generative AI-powered instruction sim, has been spending $1000 a day to keep the demo running, and now, they've had to take out a bank loan to keep up. https://bit.ly/4rWqe8g

this is so fucking sad

Donald Trump posted on Truth Social calling Dr Annie Andrews a transphobic slur this week, and her response is to ensure everyone knows she hates trans people too. Christ, the Democrats are fucking pathetic.

SC Dem Senate nominee Annie Andrews released an ad calling trans women "biological men." She embraces sports and surgery bans for youth. Her campaign even says she won't work to overturn the HRT/blocker trans youth ban. She once argued against capitulation. Subscribe to support our journalism.

It's telling that men would rather try to invent tech to replace humans' role in caregiving than step up as equal partners in parenting. Telling, that is, in that it shows how financial capitalism and patriarchy work together to dissuade men from doing "unprofitable" labor, like the work of care.

You can buy a huge media conglomerate with money you don't have using leveraged debt you'll never pay off and then immediately start firing its workers, but people will still say that capitalism is compatible with democracy and is capable of "reform" or "regulation"

This mentality sucks not just cause of doomerism, but also bc for as great as some old games are, there's so many experiences they never showed bc the industry has historically not allowed many marginalised folks to tell their stories. I wished people cared about the creative voices we're gonna lose
