I don’t care where you started out on the political spectrum If your kid comes out as trans & you don’t become a rainbow-clad, parade-cheering ally & rock-solid supportive girl/boy/enby dad/mom? You were never a parent at all You were a doll collector furious they didn’t stay in their packaging.

My kid on AI: what's the point of buying an AI game? People can just feed their idea into AI and make the same concept. There is no point in buying when they can get it for free. For those that don't get it, he is not condoning AI – he's basically saying AI is like a snake eating its own tail.

For me, the hardest thing about stories like the Cornell gang rape case isn’t reading the initial details—although that is hard. What’s even harder is when men online, especially the journalists and pundits, start trying to combat the feminist outrage by purposefully seeding doubt and victim-blaming

“If you were really that sick you would…” Have help Be in a home Not be online Be dead People are incapable of believing that support doesn’t magically show up when you need it You don’t necessarily die just because things become dire Disabled people need more support We deserve to be believed.

If you abandon trans people, why should I reasonably expect that you won't abandon another vulnerable group or actively work to marginalize people like me because you want to placate your donors and "reach out to the other side of the aisle" that's agitating for televised pogroms?

I say this both as a disabled person and as someone who does disability studies, we don't get to be uncritical of the technologies that use our bodies and identities to silence dissent around Big Tech, even if they are useful for some of us. Thats not how any of this works.
“I have really thought it was responsible,” Currier told me. I asked Currier about privacy concerns around Meta glasses; he told me he was not “real invested in knowing what any sort of policy or answer should be moving forward,” but feels the positives outweigh the negatives.

For 33 years, McConnell has voted against family and medical leave for working Americans. Then he disappears from the Senate for 92 days and keeps collecting his full paycheck. Apparently, paid leave is only a problem when someone else gets it.

Mitch McConnell disappeared for three months & kept his full salary. Disabled people are forced to prove they’re “still disabled” just to remain in legislated poverty. Folks on SNAP must re-apply and prove they’re “still poor”. Republican Senators don’t even have to prove they’re alive.

While nonbiblical sources confirm the existence of King Herod (a Jewish ruler) they do not corroborate the baby killing. This story in the bible is antisemitic nonsense Christians should be careful discussing the openly antisemetic parts of the New Testament as fact it's just blood libel

That No Labels article is essentially just saying, "eh, the population decline isn't enough/real to be genocide." But the 1948 convention doesn't require you to *succeed* at genocide for it to be a genocide. You can also engage in genocide genocide by *attempting* to conduct a genocide.

There's this concept in Feminist Theory called Marked/Unmarked. Women are marked. Men are unmarked. In plainer English: women are the exception; men are the default. Notice they never want to preserve men's sport from trans men who are literally controlling the amount of testosterone they have.

Rhetorically speaking, it benefits GenAI companies for this obfuscating generic terminology. The gun lobby does the same thing with words like "assault rifle" and "automatic weapon"--terms that have general purpose use but no domain-specific reference.
