They took it off their Facebook, but completely forgot about their Bluesky account. Shameful showing from TF Direct, especially in the current political climate. Don't care if its 'being edgy' or actually going mask off. Fuck TF-Direct. Avoid ordering From there in the future.

Instead of yelling at millions of voters who won't vote for someone that attacks their vulnerable minority, why not instead yell at the few dozen candidates who are doing the attacking? Seems much more efficient.

Hey @bsky.app @support.bsky.team, can you explain this? Cause the fact that you first posted this on Twitter and not here is VERY telling
A screenshot of a tweet from Bluesky quote tweeting a post from Attie, an AI site, that says the following: “Announcing Attie site builder!

Starting today, Attie users can build small social pages like a game, an AMA, or a quiz your friends will argue about for a week. We made a few to get you started. Go make a better one and share it:”

The Quote tweet from the official Bluesky account reads the following: “Vibe-coding, but make it social.

Starting today you can use Attie to make sites: Games, quizzes, guestbooks, your top 8, or whatever you dream up. Go try it!”

Just a tiny correction: this feature is enabling an MCP Server for local agents in your own machine to use. That basically just means that if you use AI to control your PC, this option lets your AI agents also mess with your NVIDIA settings. Still shitty, but it's not an agent running on your PC.

PSA: The latest NVIDIA App update adds a Default-ON option that allows AI Agents to control the app... Might want to turn it off.. Even aside from being lame AI features, that feels like making security even worse by defaulting it ON.

Also I’m not gonna let the linguistic point go: the BBC, the courts, and now the NHS all refer to trans people using slurs as a matter of official policy. That’s where Britain is at now.

The NHS is already one of the biggest perpetrators of anti-trans violence in the UK. This new guidance, which refers to trans people using slurs, demands that we be segregated and abused. I’ve said it before: senior NHS managers must be sacked and punished for what they’ve done to us.

Rather than cover the cost of gender affirming care for trans youth under medicaid, Colorado is voluntarily enacting the republican "taper and detransition" policy for youth on medicaid and dropping coverage. WTF.
Ironically, the first known violation of that law is now coming from the state itself. On September 18th, the Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing (HCPF) informed providers that “certain Physician-Administered Drug (PAD) services for the purposes of gender-affirming care will no longer be covered benefits for members under 18 years of age.” Two weeks later, HCPF released its full policy surrounding its updated coverage, and it somehow manages to be worse than the policies enacted by Arizona and Virginia. As Transitics reported last week, the federal rule allows for a 6-month ‘tapering’ period for youth currently receiving gender-affirming care where federal funds can still be used. And although HCPF does mention that stipulation in its policy, it also introduced a strange exception:

“Effective October 13, 2026, claims payment for GnRH/LHRH agents prescribed for gender-affirming care therapy for members under the age of 18 will not be allowed… Prior authorization for testosterone, estrogen, progesterone or medroxyprogesterone therapy for members under the age of 18,” the policy reads, “who are receiving and stabilized on therapy for gender-affirming care prior to October 13, 2026, may receive approval to allow for tapering and discontinuation of therapy.”

The exclusion of puberty blockers in the tapering policy isn’t accidental. The state’s prior authorization guidance that was updated the same day mirrors the policy and once again does not allow for a tapering period for trans kids receiving puberty blockers. And like Arizona and Virginia, Colorado has provided no indication that it has notified patients and their families. In doing so, Colorado is going far beyond what even the Trump administration intended—immediately cutting many trans kids’ care and leaving them scrambling for options.

Howard Zinn was really one of the greatest writers.
“I've always resented the smug statements of politicians, media commentators, corporate executives who talked of how, if you worked hard you would become rich.
The meaning of that was if you were poor it was because you hadn't worked hard enough. I knew this was a lie, as I saw my father and millions of others, men and women who worked harder than anyone, harder than financiers and the politicians, - harder than anybody, still struggle in poverty.”
