Journalism quote of the day: "Wednesday at 11am is perfect! I'll be there then!" -Nellie Bowles, Free Press writer and Bari Weiss's wife, on Jeffrey Epstein's apartment.

there should be a law for pickup trucks where you need to have a bumper sticker that says if you actually need a pickup truck for work or not. just for the ease of people deciding wether or not to be annoyed by them.

women are so weird.... did you know that almost all of them can grow people inside of them

just saw one of the dumbest takes i've heard from 'my side': the claim that Trump mimicking/mocking that reporter with a disability is the 'worst thing Trump has ever done.' did they turn off the news that day and never turn it back on?

my dad has dementia and I joke about telling him "okay bye dad, don't forget tomorrow you have to be the president of the united states" when i'm leaving a visit (would never actually do that) but I realized recently that that's just how joe biden had to live

this shit is so funny, its like brilliant satire of corruption

🚨 Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was fatally shot by ICE officers during what federal officials described as a targeted enforcement operation. His son says his father was on his way to work when it happened. Rep. Sylvia Garcia is calling for an independent investigation into the shooting: bit.ly/4aHxz48

In case it wasn’t clear, I think there are a lot of mistakes and beliefs that people can change and — with effort and good faith — try to make right. Rape is not one of those. You cannot rehabilitate a rapist. There is no room for rapists in our movement.

More Perfect Union does a really good job with these investigative video pieces. The abuse of school vouchers, unsurprisingly, stems from educational segregation & conservatism of private schools, some of which who do not audit how this money is being spent smh. youtu.be/JpmIaajDfcM?...

the politics around trans rights have changed radically in just a few years—and that means they can change once again, and in the right direction. the supreme court doesn't get to decide that!

Racheline Maltese@racheline.bsky.social · last mo.

Just because SCOTUS affirms a type of discrimination does not mean that discrimination is required. This decision should not cause us to weaken our efforts for trans inclusion in general or trans inclusion in sports in particular. Cis allies, you very specifically, need to double down.

in Jan, I was at the rally for the trans sports case at the Supreme Court. today SCOTUS ruled states can ban trans girls from sports. @us.theguardian.com "This hyper-focus on sports is yet another example of the ways that they are trying to erase trans and non-binary people from public life.”

‘They’re here to antagonize us’: trans advocates say hostility at rallies is up as supreme court hears key case

As high court considers trans kids’ participation in school sports, tensions run high between opposing protest groups

theguardian.com

Quick read of the trans sports decision.. *Categorical exclusion of trans athletes from sex-separated school sports is lawful under Title IX and equal protection *A biological-sex law is not a transgender classification *No as-applied challenges under intermediate scrutiny or rational basis

In 2010 a transhumanist cult released a documentary called "The Singularity is Near" based on the writings of Ray Kurzweil. Alan Dershowitz is in it: he does an interview on the legality of sex with virtual beings... but there are also scripted scenes where he plays himself defending a robot.

ive always wondered if Claude fucks up on purpose to make you use more tokens redoing it....

As I predicted two weeks ago, everyone is being told to go and do token-intensive loops. Use more tokens folks! Follow the great prophecy! If everybody keeps doing the right thing at the same time they’ll drop more stuff from the sky! Do not doubt the AI industry! www.wheresyoured.at/ai-is-slowin...
