"AI" has existed in its current form for barely four years and the fact that it's jammed up the cognitive development of an entire generation that fast (and that there's a specific overclass of techofascists who are deeply thrilled about this) is a big damn red flag. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/17/u...

When I criticize Dems in the United States who waffle on transgender issues, its because I don't want them turning into Labour UK, who pretty much has fully espoused transphobia and is enacting extreme harm on trans people in that country far worse than the conservatives had done.

Amnesty International UK report on the anti-rights movement in the UK
EDM 603: tabled on 14 July 2026
Tabled in the 2026-27 session.
This motion has been signed by 4 Members. It has not yet had any amendments submitted.Motion text
That this House expresses extreme concern
at Amnesty International UK's report
entitled A Growing Threat: the Anti-Rights
Movement in the UK, published on 8 July;
condemns its depiction and listing of
organisations defending the rights of
women, girls, children, and gay and
bisexual people as anti-rights on the basis
of them being gender critical; further
condemns its depiction and listing of
organisations of parents and of clinicians as
promoting conversion practices; notes that
organisations depicted as supposedly anti-rights includes many grassroots women's rights organisations doing vital work domestically and internationally with vulnerable women and children, and a rape crisis centre and support service for female that gender critical belief is a protected belief under the Equality Act 2010 and reflects the views of the majority of the public; also notes that it is perfectly
survivors of male violence; further notes
legitimate to organise around the protected
characteristic of sex and to offer single-sex
spaces, as clarified by the recent SupremeCourt ruling in For Women Scotland vs The Scottish Government; recognises that such organisation, work and services are fundamentally important; also condemns the report for making unevidenced characterisations; acknowledges the damaging impact of such baseless accusations for the small grassroots charities and organisations listed; and calls on Amnesty International to withdraw the report, issue a formal public correction and apology acknowledging the reputational harm, and pledge that Amnesty staff who hold gender critical beliefs can express such beliefs without fear of bullying or harassment.Antoniazzi, Tonia

The “Calvin’s dad explains two types” meme, inspired by a Calvin and Hobbes cartoon.

Clockwise from top left:
1) Calvin’s dad walks into frame to find Calvin trying to operate a record player. The dad says: “There are only two industries left in America: gambling, and fraud.”

2) The dad shows where the record goes, and how to turn on the player, while Calvin watches. Dad says “Derivatives? Gambling. AI? Fraud. Video games? Gambling. Social media? Fraud.” Calvin says “yeah”.

3) With one hand open palm up, Calvin’s dad cheerfully explains to Calvin out of frame below him, “The stock market looks like gambling, but it’s actually fraud.”

4) In bed in a dark room, Calvin clutches at his pillow, eyes wide in existential terror. There is no text in the panel.

1. A new NHS England Review excluded 97% of all trans care studies to conclude that trans youth care doesn't work. It explicitly violates several guidelines around reviewing literature, and appears to be politics masquerading as (shoddy) science. Subscribe to support our journalism.

For years we said they’re going for a genocide of trans people and for years we were told to “stop being so dramatic.” Now we’re at the point of human experimentation with the explicit goal of eradicating us. Can we call the genocide a fucking genocide now?

My favorite artifact in the "you don't need AI to do art" discourse is, of course, screenwriter Dan O'Bannon's sketch of the facehugger to explain it to Giger.
A 2 panel sketch disgram of a 1 meter tall pod. in the second panel, an oval section pops off and a demonic little face with short tentacles flies out, crudely drawn.

In case anyone wants to know my feelings on AI as a queer performer outside of the enormous environmental and ethical concerns.
My voice is the result of 2 decades of classical training that was interrupted by a masculine pitch shift at 35 years old.  It is attached to a body that is preparing to undergo surgery that as of 1/1 is no longer covered under federal healthcare plans. I know, because I was hired for a post office job that I immediately had to quit because my benefits would not cover my hormones, either.

Acting is the work I do to reconnect to who I am and where I have been.  My work in Destiny 2 had moments informed by my sexual assault in 2009. My work in Hades is informed by my love of kink.  When I speak about my work, I remember the lines I said, how they felt in my throat, the memories I lingered on.  AI steals those from me and uses my instrument as a corpse.

It evokes the image of my mother, standing in the kitchen over a chicken she slaughtered, laughing as she showed me its voice box before squeezing it. I heard it cluck, just like it was alive. And now I am that chicken, with my voice box held by someone hoping to make money while my blood is fresh on their hands.

Queer performance cannot be separated from queer performers.  Feeding our voices into a machine that is designed to make them statistically average robs us of the very fiber of our identity.  They don't have the vocabulary or dataset necessary to properly handle this job, and I'm not interested in giving it to them.
