It’s notable how many anti-trans activists who claim their actions are motivated by a desire to “protect women,” are currently attacking Jane Doe and defending the men who she says assaulted her. It’s almost like “protecting women” never had anything to do with it.

they always show their asses eventually because the thing is that you cannot truly, sincerely care about women if you don’t care about trans women. the minute you carve off any one subcategory of women you claim are “lesser” in some way, you’ve declared women’s rights to be conditional by definition

"The Social Reckoning" is a shallow, preachy, insight-free whistleblower drama that falls far short of its Oscar-winning predecessor.

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 4-YEAR-LONG study of NEARLY 30 MILLION people in France found that individuals who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine had a 74% LOWER risk of death from severe COVID-19 compared to unvaccinated individuals and ZERO increased risk of all-cause mortality.

Hope you all enjoyed your jokes about maskers a couple weeks ago, also, I’m sure unrelatedly, the right wingers are fantasizing about murdering us.
At one point in the script, a 40-year-old woman wearing a "covid mask" rams her car into an ICE van, killing a Latino agent; she is subsequently murdered herself by the slain agent's partner. This plot point has drawn attention due to its direct parallels with the circumstance that led to the killing of Good in Minneapolis by ICE agents in January.

more generally this is why I hate when people try to ask trump "so you're not allowed to do this, right?" questions he is literally incapable of admitting he isn't allowed to do something, you're just putting ideas in his head, cut it out

Liberals have become completely unglued and deranged. This really is a Blue MAGA Cult.

I'm pro-trans, but I'm also an adult who realizes this country is a shithole full of bigots. No politician will ever have their hands clean enough for you weirdo nitpickers.

If you want fascism, keep kneecapping Dems.

sometimes i feel like people understand that the war on drugs is a failure across every front (# of drugs in country, # of drug users, utility of spending, millions dead, millions incarcerated, etc), but don't internalize that it necessitates entirely rethinking societal relationship to substances.

This single paragraph is the thing that drives me insane with certain people and how prolific it is as an attitude, even among some more progressive people. It's some of the very same thing that gets leveraged against me and other trans women about how we haven't "suffered enough as women"

i'm a big proponent of the theory that like 60% of the internet has moral scrupulosity ocd without realizing it, so they err on the side of forgiving people for things they'd never forgive themselves for bc they irrationally fear being a rapist/bigot/etc themselves without realizing it

people love to talk about reformed rapists the same way they love to talk about reformed nazis, as a sort of mental exercise of quasi-christian (or explicitly christian) redemption back into an innocent state of grace/tabula rasa, which is wild because that is demonstrably impossible.

agg23 commented yesterday
If it works, that's pretty cool; I didn't think
would ever see this implemented (I also didn't
expect LLMs to exist).
However, this is not something you can PR
here, or anywhere. You sent me a nearly 50k
line diff, unasked for, completely LLM built, and
you somehow expect me to review it. There is
SO MUCH unrelated garbage here. Never
minding all of the docs and Python, you've
somehow touched basically all of the upstream
HDL, which already had MSU1 support, so idk
what in the world you're doing.
This kind of behavior is not acceptable. You are
infringing on the time and brainpower of people
by pushing "your" content that little/no of your
brainpower went into; completely unrequested.
I hope for the sake of all responsible
maintainers that you do not do such a thing
again.
Again, I think it's cool that you and your LLM
supposedly got this to work. It has no place in
my world.

I think Facebook is the hardest to replace because a.) there's no other platform that does what it does, and b.) even if there were, the demographics make migration unlikely. But it's also shown the steepest degradation in usefulness, maintaining connection with distant friends and relations.
