Christa Pike was tortured yesterday by the state of TN in every single USians name and the fact is that this is a country that is mostly OK with this. This says everything about all of us. We are all implicated in this barbaric practice. It's sickening.

there are moral arguments against the death penalty in its ideal form but in real life you never need to get there. the prior question is "can the state be trusted to end the life only of the rightly convicted without torture?" and the answer is no

Hyperlink text should make sense when read out of context. Screen reader users can navigate from link to link, and can listen to links in a list. When navigating this way, only the link is read. So "click here" or "read more" won't make sense.

A friend has Covid right now. They have lost their sense of smell and they're having cognitive problems. This hit me today, as it often does: we made, and continue to make, a huge collective mistake in allowing a virus that impacts the brain to transmit unmitigated globally.

9/ Now's also the time to mask in crowded indoor spaces, especially if you’re at higher risk or spending time with someone who is. Air filters or even opening windows is also a great way to mitigate spread. If you're sick, stay home if possible.

8/ What does that mean for you? Although Covid has peaked, we’re still in a Covid wave. Now is a great time to get vaccinated, especially if you’re high risk.

Four years ago today, on Sept. 30, 2022, Peacock greenlit the #Community movie. Joel McHale's Fox comedy #AnimalControl premiered five months later. Season 5 started this week — and somehow, Animal Control seems more likely to fulfill the #SixSeasonsAndAMovie prophecy first. Make it make sense.

Those arguing for mass-adoption of AI art always seem intent on proving the wrong thing; that AI tech will change beyond all recognition. They seem less inclined to prove their argument's much wilder claim; that human nature, and all previous modes of taste, emotion and investment, will change too.

It's easy - and correct! - to focus on just how ghoulish and profane this view of human creativity is. But even if you're the most cynical capitalist on earth, the evidence that people would enjoy entirely dehumanised content, at anything like a scale that would justify this hype, is extremely thin!

This is an excellent reminder that it’s never too late to start masking again. It’s community care. It’s self care. It’s a great way to show solidarity with disabled and marginalized groups. If you’re unsure what mask to get or want to learn more about respirators, my mask guide is below:

If you're a Dem who thinks you'll gain something by going anti-trans, look at Gallup's "most important problem" and Fox News' "most important issue" polling and see where trans issues rank. Whoever told you going anti-trans is a savvy or necessary move spends too much time on X and should be fired.
Gallup polling. "LGBTQ rights" moves between 0 and 1%.Fox news polling. Wokeness/transgender issues at 0%.

I wrote this in 2023 when attacks on critical race theory and DEI were at a critical mass and conservatives began moving on to transgender people, using early childhood education and weaponizing white childhood. What we are seeing from Democratic candidates is exactly what I knew would follow.
With these temporarily consuming culture wars, the right mobilizes to set the cultural context that enables them to enact authoritarianism with little opposition. Meanwhile, conservative dark money groups astroturfed the “organic” local opposition to critical race theory and are doing it again with transgender people. When the general public moves on and accepts the controversy as a hum of white noise in the background, bad actors no longer have to put work into maintaining the veneer of new cultural grievances within this policy area anymore. They have manufactured enough seemingly superficial pop culture controversies in early childhood to enact their real goals. Now they’ve moved onto using light beer to stoke violent threats in order to silence positive trans representation for young people on social media.

I would like media to care more about the reality that tech tycoons want to kill people than what they’re imagining about AI wanting to kill people. We have multi-millionaires (with support from billionaires!) calling for ethnic cleansing, a thing that has happened in living memory. Not theoretical!
