Somebody hire this woman... please...

Anyway, HACK YOUR HORMONES!

The reaction a lot of folks are having to cis women using T is really depressing. No, going on T does not make you a man. Being a man makes you a man. Cis people using cross-sex hormones does not stop them being cis and it is exhausting having to try and explain this.

People (gross liberals) ask why you would vote for "extreme" greens and not "centrist" labour. Baby, the greens are my centrist compromise, you don't want to know what my actual ideal government looks like.

Be a shame if people reported Baroness Davies' ongoing campaigns of harrassment, misinformation & bullying to the House of Lords. Won't do anything, but they can build up that dossier www.parliament.uk/mps-lords-an... www.parliament.uk/globalassets...

They didn’t underestimate, they just were paid enough not to give a fuck

“The UK government vastly underestimated the climate impact of artificial intelligence, it has emerged, after officials raised their estimate of carbon emissions from AI by a factor of more than 100” 🤯 www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

when are people going to start talking about TERFs and tradwives in the same breath. same conservative gender role ideology undergirding them. it’s the same picture!!

I think the cult going after Park run will end up as a massive net positive for the trans community.

Had to make this after reading that (genuine) quote from Ian Hislop, editor of @privateeyenews.bsky.social

this headline is such a great example of “racecraft.” musk isn’t passively posting about “race,” he is actively writing psychotically racist agitprop www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

Elon Musk’s near-daily online posts about race are turning off some fans

Elon Musk posted almost daily about race on X in recent months, a Washington Post analysis found, at times sharing views experts said echoed white supremacy.

Telegraph today give more prominence (p7, 439 words) to Sharron Davies going after Parkrun to 'protect women' than they do to Russell Brand saying he raped a 16yo (p9, 321 words)

It’s all kicking off now.

As someone who has grown mighty tired of seeing a children’s author consulted as an expert in medicine, it is slightly gratifying to watch the revolution eat its own.

i’ve worked in tech more than 20 years. it has never been more ridiculous.

Starting to think I'm cursed... Everyone around me seems to be ending up in hospital.

The kids these days say “AI” in the same way that people our age say “bullshit” (“you didn’t do that, that’s AI!”) and I think that’s beautiful

Digital ID isn't enough. We need officers performing a mandatory Rowling Rummage outside every public ladies' toilet, which would - protect women prepared to undergo it - provide gainful employment, especially for sex offenders - place the UK proudly at the forefront of international feminism

Sex Matters are demanding biological sex on Digital ID. Below are suggestions for when one should have to use their ID to "verify" their sex. For the avoidance of doubt – this is a call for the effective repeal of the Gender Recognition Act, in breach of our human rights obligations & EU Law.

"She also claims she was forced to join a conference call while giving birth and was expected to work during her maternity leave." There needs to be one final Mr Beast video where this woman gets to redact him in whatever way she wants for as long as she wants

Of course, a year ago, JK Rowling wrote a long tweet upbraiding someone else for using "she/her" for a trans woman, saying it doesn't matter how polite the "request" it's still compelled speech, but yesterday she was upbraiding her allies who were saying she shouldn't use she/her for a trans woman.

Aidan Comerford@aidancomerford.bsky.social · 6mo ago

JK Rowling admitting that she won't be transphobic to you as a trans woman if you are "gentle" and "funny" and you have "female-coded energy." What on earth is "female-coded energy"? Doesn't this strongly suggest that Rowling is a conservative woman who expects women to be a certain way?

Can we not fucking do this? He doesn't need removing from office because he's mentally ill, he needs removing from office because he's a genocidal war criminal.

The President of the United States is mentally ill and needs to be removed from office.

Today's no-nuance hot take is: pushy, aggressive sales tactics exist in the same continuum as rapey pickup artist strategies.

A thing about the heaviest users of chatbots is that they acclimate to cloying obsequiousness. Like a billionaire and their entourage of viziers, it becomes normal to them. Any interaction that is *not* abject simpering they'll now perceive as a slap to the face, an aggressively violent outburst.

As far as YouTubers go Hank Green had one of the worst falloffs in history. He’s fully in for AI in ways that don’t even make sense.

I just want to hard reboot my entire life. Or at least have a piece of it where it doesn't feel like it's always on me to be the understanding one, or the one who can't express herself because everyone else's shit is worse than mine, or the one who has to accomodate everyone else.

I fear media literacy is dead
