I'm mad at how quickly many people folded on gender-inclusive language like "pregnant people" or "people who can get pregnant." Yes, it can include transgender people, yes, you might have to change your default way of speaking. ALSO IT IS MORE ACCURATE. AREN'T WE ALL SO OBSESSED WITH ACCURACY???

Listening to @michaelhobbes.bsky.social talk about how people get insane at the mere mention of limiting cars to the speed limit and remembering the only thing I got dinged for on my driving test in San Mateo, CA was NOT DRIVING FAST ENOUGH (25MPH) on a narrow residential street. 😡

I reviewed those by myself, one by one—no AI involved!—and the filings pointed to police reports. I then sought those out separately and spent days combing through them.
🧵3 month assessment on the Australian social media ban is in: very little change, and no change in practical outcomes for children and young people - no mental health or family relationship improvements, no differences in leisure time, same degree of harmful access, like loosing sleep to scrolling 🚨
Ben Schwarz@benschwarz.bsky.social · 3d agoAustralia’s eSafety commissioner buried a report (released Friday afternoon) that shows the under 16 social media ban didn’t tangibly reduce teen social media use, and also resulted in parents tuning out of kids usage.
