Real sad to see gamers imagining a bunch of flashy drama and wrestling storyline around game development to explain why they didn't like some game. It's just office people doing office things. Don't get in a parasocial relationship with a business unit. The thing you hate was because of emails.

Most transphobia, or so it seems to me, is about wanting culturally contingent hierarchies and identity scripts to be Inscribed in Nature in some deep way that obviates the need for reflective examination, and getting very anxious and angry about anything that makes it clear that’s a fantasy.

The biggest form of political correctness in America is that basically every single conservative commentator is a gutter bigot and it's just universally understood that it's beyond the pale to ever acknowledge that.

They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.

It’s frankly insulting that the worlds worst people weren’t meeting in a command center in a volcano wearing ceremonial robes but were all emailing on Hotmail accounts like “want 2 atrosity? With wemen?”

I cannot think of anything less useful for people to be posting right now than "America has always even fascist", "I can't believe people are shocked by this" and the bizarre repeated claim that because someone is mad about this, they must not have heard of Kent State or fugitive slave patrols.

If we make it through this, we are going to need a branch of law enforcement that doesn't answer to the executive going forward.

Hey a thing I really don’t want to get lost here is that while Tylenol doesn’t cause autism, IT’S FINE TO BE AUTISTIC. Let’s not grant them the premise that autism should be eradicated in our way to correct the science, okay? Okay.

I'm really curious what kind of mundane civil case Kimmel could theoretically have against the fcc for conspiring to mess with his contract. I doubt that would be his best play but still curious.

Everyone should cancel Disney plus right now. It won't actually turn your account off until the next cycle, so you can finish whatever you're watching. Just drive those cancellation numbers as high as we can. There has to be a consequence, no matter how small.

Dear The Media, When US officials say they have a big deal with a foreign government, you should ASK THAT GOVERNMENT. Sorry to shout, but how do you not get this already? Asking both sides of a supposed deal was always due diligence, but especially important now that you're covering proven liars.

We have to beat this idea out of our society. It's like when people decide to dislike a movie they've never seen because the box office returns were low. Just brain worms.

If any one of us regular folk had an affair at work and got caught on TV, we'd have trouble getting our next job. That CEO on the other hand will just become a "discount" for his next company and will only lose a few percent earning power. This might literally improve his prospects.

it should go without saying but you really cannot run a country, or really any organization, like this. you cannot lurch wildly from pole to pole every four years or every four days. you cannot rip up deals and seek deals and then blow up the people you were seeking to re-deal with. doesn't work

I was involved with police training in the late 90s and cops were taught that dangerous shots made with these types of rounds could still constitute lethal force and to be careful. They know. It's not whoopsies. They've been taught a nuanced continuum for use of force and they're ignoring it.

Can’t say more strongly: they are claiming the power to disappear people with no recourse, to entirely remove anyone they want to, forever, with no ability to stop them. “Unamerican” doesn’t do it justice. Diametrically opposed to anything even remotely resembling a society we should support.

I honestly don't think people have been taking this threat seriously, due to America's long and storied history of believing in "American exceptionalism" & "it can't happen here." I still get resistance to the idea that democracy is in danger. People really haven't come to grips with where we are.

AI truly doesn't work tremendously differently from a human brain. It's just that it isn't an *entire* brain yet. LLMs are artificial language centers. Like a disembodied Broca's area. If took a human's language center and put it in charge of the entire body, it would look similarly unimpressive.
