Every post which begins "it's not about left vs right" goes on to say something which is easily categorisable as either left or right. "It's not about left vs right, it's rich vs poor" Mmm, yes, what could be more neutral than the concept of class war.

Love has never needed permission from labels 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 My emptiness of gender lets me see that clearly. Anxiety tightens around transgender lives right now. Why must their chosen bonds still pass through someone else’s gate? Why is the soul they claim treated as a request instead of a right?

I think my main takeaway from Hank Green using AI shit aside from plagiarism is that it's a horrifically shameful abdication of responsibility as a science communicator. You have an obligation to a standard of ethics and veracity in a position like his and I don't think that's guaranteed w AI use.

Hearing someone say that an anti-trans person "just has reasonable concerns about women's sports," is like hearing someone say they "just have reasonable concerns about satanic ritual abuse" in the early 90s or late 80s. It's a fiction, created as a political tool by the extreme right.

I don't think Endgame is a worse movie than Attack of the Clones, but Attack of the Clones is bad in more interesting ways. I could talk at length about what makes the prequels interesting fiascos. I would rather chew my arm off than have a conversation about Endgame with anyone.

When dipshits say stuff like "fighting AI is like if we fought cars," yes! Cars are killing the planet, crashes are the third leading cause of accidental death, entire species are teetering on the edge of extinction from roadkill, this is a great example of a thing people HAVE BEEN fighting.

people who complain that deltarune chapter 5 doesn't have "enough lore" might not be aware they're playing a "video game" and not reading a fan wiki page
