your instinct to worry about election tampering is completely valid. this just isn't generally the way they're going to go about it. they don't have the manpower to actively police a statistically significant number of polling places. they rig the game at a much higher level.

here's the thing man, this just isn't how they rig elections. it's obvious, it's easy to pick up on, and it gets people in serious trouble. you know what's way easier? dumping millions into ads. redistricting. closing down polling stations in majority Black counties. shit we struggle to stop.

Minnesota is stronger because of our Somali neighbors. We stand together, we look out for one another, and we will never let hate define who we are.

i think probably they don't hold the ink super well, you can't get anything with small details in it, and you should expect to have to get touch ups more frequently than you do with any other kind of tattoo.

Trying to hurt trans people when they've borne the brunt of Trumpism's extreme agenda for the past two years (alongside immigrants and Black Americans) is also a choice in the part of certain Democrats.

i spend so much time sitting bisexually and doing weird stretches every chance i get to fight off the permanent damage habitual desk sitting must be doing to my body. idk, all i get is the occasional muscle pain and i consider myself very lucky. it's not like i can STOP being at a desk 😭

...and now, after the ICE occupation and everything else over the past year, the president is AGAIN saying racist shit about our Somali neighbors, which is both unsurprising and infuriating, and AGAIN not enough people in power are standing up for them

I am very proud to be represented in Congress by a Somali-American woman who came to this country as a refugee. But even if I wasn't, Somali people are my neighbors. We already taught the world once: we Minnesotans love our neighbors with our lives.

whole system feels very similar. an LLM is deciding if what you said is acceptable, maaaybe a real person is undoing that decision if it's very clearly a mistake, but who can say?

then, a week after i got unbanned, i caught another ban for joking about straight girls rationalizing evil behavior from men to the tune of "sure he hit me with his truck, but he LOVES ME" and caught another ban for threatening violence lol. sent a very angry appeal and got unbanned.

if i absolutely had to guess, i'd say vibe coded ai detection and vibe coded ai appeal approval. i caught a reddit ban last month for telling a misogynist creep to step into traffic, sent in an appeal telling reddit admins to do the same, just got a polite appeal denial.

We may cover this tomorrow, but I just wanted to signal boost this. After months of pushing the administration to make good on its promises for trans youth, NYC appears to be taking steps to do so. I do believe the city can be doing much more, but this is a wonderful start from Mayor Mamdani.

NYC moves to spend nearly $9M of gender-affirming care fund for minors
The funding is part of a $15 million investment announced in June as major hospitals retreated from providing such care.

i am perfectly able to argue competently against it, thanks! the incalculable negative impact against the environment because of data centers that power these LLMs, and their use as theft machines and CSAM generators, are really excellent reasons not to use them. sorry those things don't bother you!

"you should use the environment destroying CSAM generator so you can better understand it" is possibly the worst argument i can think of when the foundational belief is that generative AI is a scourge upon the world that must be eradicated completely.
