Josh Turek should maybe go redacted

Erin Reed@erininthemorning.com · 8h ago

Josh Turek of Iowa, Democrat, comes out with one of the worst anti-trans ads yet. Not only is it an anti-sports ad, it proposes a ban on federal funding for gender affirming care. That would hit all medicaid and medicare patients, and any ACA federally-subsidized plans as well. Horrific.

"But are workers collecting data for machines that will one day do their jobs?" "At the moment it's too early to tell says Bino Paul, senior professor at the School of Management and Labour Studies at the Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) in Mumbai." 😑

"Every robotics company, every frontier AI lab, has a specific kind of data they want: industrial tasks, agriculture, household chores, small business work like pottery, garment-making, embroidery, candle-making. We go wherever the task is," www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

“They are no longer with the company” But she was just fine sending it to the owner. So then you have to ask— How many owners has she sent messages like that to that the company was okay with?

A Black couple about to tour a Queens, NY apartment got a message from the real estate agent as they approached: "Ugh. They are black." "She mistakenly sent it to us. But it was supposed to go to the owner," Olaso said. They are suing. | Greg Cergol www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/d... #BlackskyNews

Still covering Elon Musk as a business mogul and not foregrounding his murderous white nationalist politics is like doing a piece on only the clown career of John Wayne Gacy.

You're telling me an ETHAN Klein'd this rice?

Encountering a swastika while playing that dumb Meowdoku game like it's a jumpscare.

I'm going to point out that Jesse Singal has a very public track record of being intensely, specifically cruel to individuals, specifically the trans people who criticize him, whom he has hounded to their workplaces, harassed online, and (at times) successfully gotten fired from their jobs

Toby Buckle@polphilpod.bsky.social · 2d ago

every now & then someone on the anti-trans side will get cold feet about how openly ugly it's all getting—they want to keep the image of a nice, sensible centrist but it's never enough for them to get off the train

I know it’s sorta cheesy but someone posted this from Paris on Reddit and I felt this immediate rush of hope

I’ve been saying for two weeks that Ahmed needs a lawyer NOW (literally tomorrow????) and I think no one has given organically in days 🤍 we haven’t met our weekly goal of literally just £250 in around six weeks 🤍 you’ve abandoned a Palestinian student chuffed.org/project/ahmedf

Fascinating. And they haven't even sent me, or as far as I know any of the authors who were party to the class action lawsuit which proved they stole our books to create Claude, our settlement checks. I've been waiting on my blood money, all miserable $3K of it, for almost a year!

BREAKING: Anthropic reports an $80 billion net loss in the first half of 2026.

Logically I understand that it’s been six years since the launch of the PS5 and Series X so it makes sense for talk of next gen consoles. But also like even if you disregard the absurd electronic prices these days, it just doesn’t feel like consoles games have done anything to necessitate an upgrade

I really need comedians to stop caping for Shane Gillis. Yes, I know y'all really super duper love free speech and his "I got unfairly fired from SNL" bag (BTW, he didn't get unfairly fired), but please at least save that energy for a comedian that's actually good.

Hearing about 40 year old straight men pivoting to poly as a means of ethical cheating is very funny to me. I'm poly because I fell in love with three women around the same time and we all agreed it was cool. we are not da same!!!!

I've been really into lemonade lately again and I always think about this post

cis people don't get to have opinions about trans bodies

Ah yes the 2026 flavor of "Expedition 33 was made by 30 people" meant to venerate only a small few and that further encourages execs to devalue development teams but still expect massive viral hits on an investment that keeps most of the devs in the trenches underpaid.
