Listened to one song from one musical this morning, and now I'm down a rabbit hole, skipping from song to song from different shows, which will become one big song.

Cis people do not understand how much trans people's rights have regressed in just 5 years. 5 years ago, there were none of these restrictions. 19 states banned legal recognition 21 states have bathroom bans 8 states ban gender marker changes on DLs 25 ban gender affirming care for trans youth

My dear @somewingedthing.bsky.social helped me figure out my Halloween display name this year, but neither of us could come up with anything for my middle initial. Kill seemed too serious. Kandy not serious enough. So, from here on out, my middle name is Khalas. "Eek, enough blood" is perfect.

Writers, if you are against AI, do not put your writing into ANY tool that is itself AI. Not to check grammar, not to "prove" you wrote it yourself. Everything you give them becomes part of their data, even if it's only to "improve their service" or whatever BS they tell you.

When I read "First XYZ to be elected to prestigious position of power," I immediately think: "What horrible things did they do to signal to the people already in power that they won't threaten harmful systems with reform?" I distrust all candidates, but it feels worse when it's marketed as change.

To me this is the crux of the public disconnect re: "The Law" - the second important point is that people believe that courts of law are courts of justice... and this really fucks people up. "This is a court of law, young man, not a court of justice" - Oliver Wendell Holmes

AP Stylebook warns against anthropomorphizing AI systems: “Avoid language that gives them human characteristics… Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.”
APStylebook @APStylebook
X.com
Artificial intelligence systems do not think, feel, want or understand. Avoid language that gives them human characteristics. This is called anthropomorphizing, when we ascribe human traits, emotions or behaviors to non-human things, such as animals or inanimate objects.
Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.

Good writing in my view - while some commentary on here has framed Sheeran's justification as a demonstration of the hollowness of "neutrality", as a professional moral philosopher it is also what we in the business refer to as a "lie" and it may be helpful to refer to it as such

A graphic with black text on a white background at the top it says “yep, I am still masking up” then a pic of a kn95 with “I hate being sick bro” and “it’s nbd” and “it’s germy out here” then at the bottom the text says “it’s almost cold and flu season so I’m wearing masks”

People need to know this is happening in US too. Go with your elderly parents to their doc appts and read the visit summary AI generated notes after. You'll see all sorts of errors, including stuff that facilitate med fraud as in notes claiming 2 Rx shots were administered but Mom only got 1, etc.

I made this design in 2019, and it’s been ripped off by countless creepy little Temu shops, as well as by Shein. Seeing it in an AI ad is ruining my day, ngl. If you like it, buy one from me - link in bio. I actually give money to queer mutual aid and medical care groups.

Somebody should pay me to write about literary feuds. I can literally rank my favorites. But also, a side gig to the literary feud game is the unrequited admiration dynamic, which often but not always devolves into feuds. This would such stupid fun.
