If you’d like to read the report exposing the anti trans people ‘Gender Critical’ movement in the UK - which sadly Amnesty took down after bottling it due to legal threats from the Edinburgh Funder - here it is. Like_a_snowball_final_.pdf - Google Drive drive.google.com/file/d/1PSsa...

Trying to be better. Looking at how to pick apart kyriarchy. Intersectionality = win. Same handle on the Bird Hellsite (old Hellsite posts at @archivingally.bsky.social). He/him/his.
As someone who was in late teens/early twenties when the US began the “war on terror”… yes.
i do think you could make a weird metaphysical argument for the idea that the pop culture of certain countries is informed by their youth's desire to sublimate and not think about the evil things the country does but the thing is... this is kind of normal
The media's takeaway from an El-Sayed win is the same as it would have been from a Stevens win, and the same as it will be if El-Sayed wins the general, or if he loses it: everyone, no matter who they are, needs to take several steps to the right.
I’m telling you this as a political scientist. The person who is electable is the one who is elected. This can and does change over time. Any and all speculation about “electability” is either puffery or anxiety and is often both.
One way to be safe is to never write an electability take
No no no, unity is when leftists join with ME or it's their fault when Republicans win. Me having to join with leftists doesn't feel like unity, and if Republicans win it's their fault for asking me.
Leftists are supposed to wait for a more convenient season for change. Getting the most votes in elections just shows how out of touch they are with most voters.
Looks like a 10-15 point polling miss in Michigan regardless of who wins. And people have been writing a lot of electability takes using this data. It’s dangerous out there folks be safe

If SCREEN were to pass, you'd be required to scan your face and upload an ID to access this site because it allows "harmful" material. This affects you even if you don't care about sex work or porn.
Mike Lee's SCREEN Act, which heads to Senate Commerce Committee for markup on Wednesday, would expand age verification requirements to a nearly limitless scope of websites, and is supported by the architects of Project 2025.
he won by the same margin as Trump, which represented "a huge mandate" back then.
Progressives didn’t get the big election night they wanted
Yes, the one who couldn't win a primary in her own party despite a $55 MILLION dollar advantage—much of it from a PAC that would prefer to see the Republican win anyway—is the more "electable" one, the one who can really reach voters. That is a thing people believe.
I guess the PACs should have spent the full $64m.
Unfathomable
If you're following @craigbrittain.com, or if he's following you, you are either in danger or he thinks he can extract something of commercial value from you. The fact that grifters like this can successfully reinvent themselves without facing any real repercussions is an indictment on our society.
The moment I saw the name @craigbrittain.com being flagged I knew I knew him from somewhere. Not only is all this true, he tried to grift during GamerGate as well. He ran the Twitter account @GamerGateTweets & was a driving force behind a pro-GG panel at SXSW 2015 called "Save Point". A PoS alright
PSA: It's even worse. Craig not only operated a revenge porn website, but he also was engaging in racketeering by secretly running several shell companies that offered a paid service that would remove your revenge porn *from the revenge porn distro sites he owned*.
Pretty sure when you win the election it's a big election night. Pretty sure when your party's leadership all endorses the loser, it means the leadership is out of touch with the electorate.

The Playstation store has a Cosy Games collection. It lists Dredge as one of its entries. I’m not sure if that an intentional subversive misfile, or if someone saw “fishing game” and made some very incorrect assumptions about the game.

A weird phrase is plaguing scientific papers – and we traced it back to a glitch in AI training data
Once errors creep into the AI knowledge base, they can be very hard to get out.

I've never used ChatGPT. If I'm absolutely honest, although I've heard of Claude, I'm not 100% sure what it is. I've never knowingly used an #AI tool. To me, this post reads like 'If pre-sliced cheese was suddenly banned, would you even know how to slice cheese manually?'

Don't look now, but the world has now installed 3TW of solar. Took 10 years to get from 100GW to 1TW. Less than 3 years to get to 2TW. Less than 2 years to get to 3TW. Analysts expect *9TW* by 2036.

The next phase of the boom may reveal a shift in who is gaining access to the technology.

I hate to say this, but I think we're going to need addiction recovery services for AI usage. But also, since it cripples your basic reasoning? We'll also want to provide like "physical therapy" but for your brain. We are so not prepared for the consequences of this worthless tech.

Yes. In fact, I lived through us not even having the internet as we know it today. Not having smartphones. Like, these folks act like this shit has always been here. Our memories can’t be this bad I don’t use any of this shit now, either.
