This is (a) easy (b) the principled position and (c) also the pure strategy play. Nobody switches their vote R->D because a Dem dipped their toe in the cesspool of transphobia. But it can contribute towards sporadic lean-D voters not bothering to vote, and no amount of lecturing will prevent that.

The Navier-Stokes fight is a perfect encapsulation of where AI development is right now: this should be really cool and exciting, and instead because of Silicon Valley egos it's become a fight over cheating, surveillance, and companies trying to get one up over the other

China's net greenhouse gas emissions *fell* this past quarter. Why? Because rapidly expanding electric vehicle use is putting a serious dent in oil demand. We could do that too. But we're not. We have the slowest EV update in the developed world, thanks to Trump.

Analysis: China’s CO2 emissions fall in Q2 2026 due to plummeting oil use - Carbon Brief

China’s carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions fell by 1% in the second quarter of 2026, as oil consumption plummeted amid the strait of Hormuz crisis.

this is excellent

stigmatizing Rowling’s weaponization of childhood not only requires personal withdrawal for most people, it necessitates something much more difficult: being a giant fucking killjoy. You should tell people discussing the show that you’re not watching it, and why, and you should let yourself openly cringe at your sister-in-law’s Harry Potter tote bag, and you should bring up unprompted that the onslaught of legislation against trans people makes you sad and angry, presuming it does, and you should do this because, not despite, the fact that it will make you look annoying as hell and may make everyone present uncomfortable. (You probably won’t even get the kudos of looking like a cool ally, because you’re still ultimately talking about Harry Potter. Sorry about that.)

Ethical art is art that treats everyone involved in the process (from materials to production to creative labor) fairly and with respect—not art that adheres to a specific set of content guidelines.

When I visited IO Interactive last December for Game Informer's 007 First Light cover story, there was a palpable excitement around the Copenhagen-based studio every time they even mentioned Project Fantasy, even if they couldn't say anything about it. IO is such a talented studio, and I hate this.

The “move fast and break things” mentality showcased by Xbox at this present moment is spiderwebbing out to impact tens of internal and external companies and thousands of games industry workers. It is actively rewriting Xbox’s overall place and legacy within the games industry.

When this is all said and done, the fallout of Xbox’s panicked overhaul will very likely be more catastrophic for the games industry than Embracer’s acquisition spree. When Xbox pulls funding or reconsiders partners, those studios and agencies, even if not owned by Xbox, are still heavily impacted.

Yeah and if I'm not mistaken, they didn't even sell the farm. Just sold auctioned off the herd for a cash infusion. So they still have the property (e.g. most of their wealth) intact. And it's still cranking out passive income from the cell phone tower & frack lease.

Here's the thing: If legislators didn't intend for HB 249 to be used against women wearing leggings and low-rise jeans, if they didn't mean for it to be used against trans people existing... THEY COULD FIX THE LANGUAGE. They drafted it that way for a reason. It's naive to think they won't use it.

The peak of fear mongering. The author claims Ohio HB 249 will jail women for going braless in a T-shirt.
HB 249 is about shielding kids from adult performances & imagery —not policing whether women wear bras, bikinis, or T-shirts.
Twisting it into "women could be jailed for going braless" isn't just wrong
—it's a deliberate misrepresentation.
It's common sense to shield kids' innocence from adult performances & imaginary.
Nothing but perversion - twisting a bill that aims to protect the innocence of children into something it's not. Do better.

Of course, the article also doesn't mention that this was done in service of banning trans people from public spaces. Instead, they let the legislator run wild saying this about "men" in women's locker rooms and "protecting children's innocence." This is how gender fascism advances.
