I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

🧵 I decided to take a look at how the chemical weapon denialists were responding to the latest news out of Syria about chemical weapons, and this reply from Aaron Mate says a lot about the credibility of the denialists positions.

Aaron Mate X post - "This article is misleading. Not surprising coming from an outlet that has pretended that the OPCW's Douma cover-up scandal and the dissenting inspectors who challenged it don't exist.

Speaking of which, this discovery -- more than one year after Assad's ouster -- happens to come right after it emerged that dissenting inspector Dr. Brendan Whelan won his case against the OPCW. In the process, the OPCW admitted to suppressing a key finding that undermined its allegation that Syria used chemical weapons in Douma. Perhaps the timing is coincidental.

In any event, Reuters says here that "hexamine, a stabilization agent known to have been used by Assad's forces in sarin production" was found.

The OPCW doesn't even say that. But even if they did, the discovery doesn't necessarily mean it was for sarin production. Hexamine would be expected in a war zone: it's the basic ingredient for the explosive RDX.

No matter how many "discoveries" follow, nothing will change the fundamental fact that the OPCW has refused to address the extensively documented suppression of the Douma investigation."

The so-called West is built on genocide & colonization. to pin what is happening on 1 genocidal state erases the ongoing genocides that the West has partaken in since it first began to consolidate its power- including on its own lands. This isn't to protect 1 state, its to protect all of them

Absolutely brain dead take. Trans people did start with employment, housing, and healthcare. There are cases dating back decades such as Smith v. Salem in 2004 and Glenn v Brumby in 2011! Many states passed anti discrimination laws well over a decade ago. He has no idea what he's talking about.

A screenshot of a tweet thread by Lakshya Jain (@lxeagle17). The main tweet reads: "FWIW the path forward for progressives is likely going to have to be on something people are broadly supportive of: preventing discrimination in hiring/housing. If you want to change public opinion, starting from favorable ground is important, even if it means ceding on sports."
He quotes a previous tweet stating that public opinion aligns with conservative views on most trans issues, accompanied by a stacked bar chart titled "How people feel about transgender policy issues." The chart displays polling data from "The Argument's national survey" (fielded Feb. 4-10, 2026) regarding support for national laws on specific policies:
* Allow gender surgery for minors: 13% strongly support vs. 50% strongly oppose.
* Allow puberty blockers for minors: 18% strongly support vs. 45% strongly oppose.
* Prohibiting the teaching of gender identity in public elementary schools: 39% strongly support vs. 24% strongly oppose.
* Require transgender people to use public restrooms corresponding with their birth sex: 39% strongly support vs. 22% strongly oppose.
* Ban discrimination against transgender people in hiring and housing: 43% strongly support (plus 20% somewhat support) vs. 14% strongly oppose.
* Require transgender K-12 athletes to compete with their birth sex: 47% strongly support vs. 15% strongly oppose.
