It's now properly bad and their remaining website was vibe coded down to what I think was hallucinated speakers on the site? I realise I'm also missing a time when politics was simpler and I was younger but.

Like, I don't care how good or bad you think LLMs are, trust me, they do not have your voice or analasis. Go "I directed this work but it's not my own", and it'll get taken a whole other level of seriously. You're not fooling anyone by pretending it's your own, we can tell, trust me.

Look, can we all agree that if you're gonna be posting writing under your own name, you should flag if it's LLM generated.

I realise "keep them above WPATH minimum" is not the greatest quality of care but. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.

Did he go the fash pubs too? The ones with giant st George's crosses and Millwalll merch? Interesting on many levels: was he welcome? Is patronising them betraying his politics, or doing outreach?

If you're using the old who formula stick soke extra potassium in. A banana works.

Ada cable @drcable.bsky.social · 22/06/2026
Also FFS add sugar(glucose, not just fructose from squash) to your electrolyte drinks. They keep making them "sugar free" and the whole point of rehydration mixes is to mix glucose and sodium cos they're picked up together.

Ada cable @drcable.bsky.social · 22/06/2026
You can also buy potassium chloride and sodium citrate if you wanna get nerdy about it and use the modern formula (you can probably buy 1kg of either for the price of a tube of electrolyte tablets. )

Ada cable @drcable.bsky.social · 22/06/2026
Electrolytes are real pricy but you can use the old who ORS formula as long as you have a balanced diet then rest of the time(1 teaspoon salt, 8 sugar, one litre of water).

Israeli-founded would generally be taken to be "founded by an Israeli", and I think that's backed by the rest of the text. In isolation it is somewhat ambiguous.

Not enough people seem to know this but: The reflective window film you can get? It also reflects IR and UV, so if your home is overheating in the sun, you can put it on your windows and you'll get much less solar rise. It's 100% removable too, so you can do it without your landlords permission.

This guidance operates at an organisational level, so allies can make a real difference even individually and in small numbers by being vocal, annoying, and making it really inconvenient to be transphobic. Don't let discrimination be the easy option.

As ever for trans people when there's alarming news: remember that transphobes want you afraid and hopeless. Seek out expert analysis, rather than the worst possible consequences. Disengage when you can, and read more only when you're in a good position to do so. Protect yourself and your comrades.

They recently got together with 50 volunteers to assemble the tourniquets - all based on the Palestinian-created Glia design and 3D-printed in Tuscon. They'll be used to treat people injured by Israel's devastating attacks on Lebanon - all that's left is to ship them.
Image shows a pile of tourniquets on a pale table. They have bright orange plastic components, black fabric straps, and wooden clothes pegs holding them together.

Signal is compromised in the exact same sense that an irl community meeting would be compromised when a dude nobody knows shows up and starts loudly asking where all the guns are and whether any fellow leftists can let him in on any cool plans to commit crimes. Which is not at all.
