Furry community here in WA, we cannot allow I-638 to pass. This bill is the disgusting forced "genital exam" legislation. Say no to hate, NO to I-628. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Wa...

Vote “no” on I-638 in #washington If passed, this bill would ban trans kids from playing sports and impose invasive genital inspections on girls Right now 56% of people in Washington support this ban, including 48% of democrats It seems likely to pass if we don’t act www.them.us/news/washing...

I would be livid if I worked on a cultural moment like Adventure Time and had to tell future employers that they Just Have To Rake My Word For It, only for the fuckheads at DCSkyBrothers Channel to spill all of it within a matter of DAYS.

for as long as i've been alive, republicans have ran the same playbook: a few weeks before voting begins, they roll out completely fabricated smear campaigns. these things are always coordinated, so the talking points take over the news. the party is never electorally punished for their dishonesty.

If you only read the opinion journalism in elite media over the last decade, you would have been convinced that wokeness, not fascism, was the greatest threats to American society. Now some of those authors are retconning by trying to relabel fascism as "the woke right." bsky.app/profile/donm...

Don Moynihan@donmoyn.bsky.social · last yr.

The exaggeration that drove critics to label minor infractions as a major cultural rot, or students protesting as akin to to Maoism, left then unable to respond to an actual authoritarian movement when it arrived. So they try to salvage their prior work by making bizarre comparisons. e.g. woke right

Headline: How the Woke Right Replaced the Woke Left

Over the last decade, there were two hypotheses: H1: the political right genuinely cared about threats to speech from the left. H2: they were using campus speech wars to impose their values and silence dissent. Today, the answer is clear, but I can't find any of the H1 people admitting their error.

After years of championing "free speech," Texas lawmakers have enabled a dramatic rise of censorship in Texas universities, banning concepts, canceling courses and closing departments seen as "woke," and even using AI bots as censors. All in the name of freedom. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

In other professors’ syllabi, the bot flagged the Pulitzer Prize–winning play Angels in America by Tony Kushner, essays by the Mexican American MacArthur genius grant recipient Sandra Cisneros, and materials related to a class about the Holocaust (that professor was told to drop material regarding Nazi persecution of LGBTQ people).

Putting aside the ideological slant of the new rules, the bot, like many large language models, seems to “hallucinate,” or make mistakes. The AAUP lawsuit lists texts banned for their “sex-based ecofeminist framework” and “gendered ecofeminist frameworks.” These phrases might sound persuasively like academese, but the academics behind the lawsuit had never heard of them; these concepts “do not exist,” the complaint says. Matthew Pehl, a history professor at Tech, told me that he knew several people who’d received reports from the system that were “plainly written by an AI that had hallucinated content or confused content from one class to another.”

Laptop GPUs being named after desktop GPUs that are substantially more powerful than them annoys the shit out of me. Why does “GeForce RTX 5090” on a laptop mean something more akin to what “GeForce RTX 3090” means on a desktop?
