iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Yes, I haven't heard about it anywhere else; it's so unbelievably stupid, hubristic, and capitalist. Imagine the inverse of those ridiculous schemes to block out the sun, but just as horrible.

Reminder that if you let trans kids transition, they become happy, healthy adults. They don't regret it.

An excerpt from a study that reads "Based on this review, there is an extremely low prevalence of regret in transgender patients after GAS. We believe this study corroborates the improvements made in regard to selection criteria for GAS."

Generally quite good, but I avoid their disappointing bakery breads.

TL;DR: The corporate media's favorite supreme court "experts" have failed us. We should recognize that the real experts are the people who understood both the situation and the necessary solutions years ago, not those who are continually surprised to find things are worse than they thought.

Here are dozens of excerpts from experts' testimony to the 2021 White House SCOTUS commission that reinforce the need for Supreme Court expansion. Several, including submissions from Larry Kramer & Michael Klarman, specifically address "race to the bottom": static1.squarespace.com/static/5ce33...

“The Times comes up with stories that document Trump’s deep corruption and cruelty. Yet it flinches at its duty to connect those dots and warn the public that Trump and his Republican co-conspirators are building a dictatorship.”

After a rewatch, adding: In one 15 minute video, Patrick Healy manages to confirm all sorts of NYT criticisms. He argues NYT must deceive * To preserve access to sources * To appeal to Repub readers * Because libs want it And it’s ok bc * The words are in the articles * adjectives don’t matter

and the reasoning for that is

So foster parents can be just as shitty as 'regular' parents, bold strategy. I'm sure this won't lead to more homeless children and suicides.

Dunno, but Wu Man and Martin Simpson did one a long while ago. She's done a lot of cross-culture collaborations over the years. Wu Man & Martin Simpson | Music for the Motherless Child (1996) Check out Water Lily Acoustic's catalog for similar waterlilyacoustics.com/catalog

"sure, granted, our policy ideas are terrible, our candidates are an off-putting bunch of third-rate grifters, woman-haters, and racists, we ran the economy into the ditch, and we started an illegal war we can't finish, but Democrats want abortion to be legal" is not a winning argument.

It's always the worst people who want to live forever. The least self-aware, the most selfish. They shit on other people, they shit on the planet, they have no sense of wonder or aesthetics. But they feel they deserve immortality.

The amount of hate I see this getting from folks who refuse to engage with what it's obviously actually talking about or to acknowledge the long-simmering enabling role of centrist transphobia is really something.

Turns out the only unit on campus that is making a profit is central administration. And you're not going to believe this, but that's the unit who gets to decide the formula for how profitability of an academic unit is calculated.

...but putting their handy little explanation that a trans woman is a 'biological male' who 'identifies' as a woman, and suddenly the reality of so many trans women's lives and healthcare needs - not to mention safety, privacy, and dignity - completely erased. Entirely divorced from reality.

The "is AI slavery" discourse is exactly what the tech bros want. It doesn't end with fancy autocompletes having human rights. Its logic ends with you having fewer rights. If you believe AI is sentient (it's not) & are down with enslaving it (it's not slavery), then why do human labor rights matter?

AI, as a political project, is primarily focused on your devaluation. Hope this helps.

The vote marked the second time the North Carolina State Board of Elections (NCSBE) denied students at the nation’s largest historically Black university, with over 15,000 students, a midterms voting site. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

democracydocket.com

North Carolina early voting begins, with students targeted by suppression schemes

Ultimately, voters described the roadblocks as a feature, not a bug, of the state’s electoral system — one that’s littered with so much confusion that some may decide to stay home and not vote at all.

Unfortunately I think it's correct and not a joke. Would never have occurred to me, but I have read a book or two.

Pater earlier writes "This becomes clear in how words and names are capitalised. The power relations between ideas, positions of power, and human relations could be judged according to capitalisation. In colonial times, 'White as a race was capitalised, and 'black' was written in lower case."

"In 1925, modernist designers wanted to rid the world of capitals. Bauhaus teacher László Mohly-Nagy argued capitals were associated with power, authority, and tradition." Ruben Pater, The Politics of Design (2017) (citing a 2012 NYTimes article by Alice Rawsthorn, "A Symbol is Born")
