Grindr is training its AI on your photos, your age, and your taps by default, without asking. This video shows where the app buried the off switch. The stakes are high on an app like Grindr. Numerous countries criminalize same-sex relations, so being outed through your data can be dangerous.

Recently, I did a wonderful interview with the indefatigable @emilystjams.bsky.social about trans people's online information environment and why there are very strong incentives to spread panic. It was a wide-ranging discussion that I think is more relevant than ever.

@jamestalarico.bsky.social My response to your fundraising text is, suppprt trans people. Unequivocally.
Text message from 737-259-0938, it says:

Talarico HQ : Is there ANYTHING we can say to convince you to contribute to our campaign before our FEC deadline ends in 7 days?

I responded "You can say you unequivocally support trans people"

if you donated to talarico or perltola or any of these other turncoats back before they underbussed trans people, you can actually ask for your campaign donation to be refunded. that's a thing that happens. campaigns notice when they start having to do a large number of clawbacks.

"Trans people are only a small portion of the population" fuckers should tell us what percent of the population you have to be before you get to have rights. Is it okay for fascists to be evil to .5%? 1%? 5%? How many people are you willing to chuck into the fascist grinder to avoid a fight?

If folks on here want to pretend that the only thing Talarico said was about sports, that's fine—it's also not true. He would ban gender affirming care for 17 year olds. And I'm sure many of you haven't tried to figure out how to keep a trans kid from killing themselves, so you don't get it

If you're in Texas and would like to offer some words to Mr. Talarico and his campaign, feel free to use this as a starting point. (alt text for copy+pasta)
Hello,
I have been a big fan of Mr. Talarico's politics in the past. I remember first applauding his outspoken anti-Christian Nationalism on the Texas House floor. He's always felt like a sensible politician that could push Texas in the right direction.

And then I saw this clip: https://bsky.app/profile/atrupar.com/post/3mv4ljvtvzq2s

I am disgusted, frustrated, and immensely disappointed. I hate seeing a politician I was excited to vote for turn his back on myself and the rest of the transgender community. These are the words of someone willing to compromise with fascists and meet them where they are. We are experiencing a nation-wide pogrom against transgender folks, and yet Mr. Talarico chooses to engage these authoritarian bigots using their own language and viewpoints?

If this campaign is willing to throw transgender people under the bus, then it is also willing to throw anyone under the bus. I will not be voting for Mr. Talarico until he improves his viewpoints on these issues and signals that he is unwilling to compromise in matters of justice & human rights. This is the same "appeal to the middle-right" that Harris did in her campaign, and look where that got us.

Stop appealing to bigots.
Stop treating trans folks as a disposable voting block.

Please be better,
Matt Best

The reason the fascists have started by trying to kill trans kids is they've calculated — apparently correctly — that nobody, not even medical professionals, will stop them. It's extremely sad. Kids are gonna die as a result of these soulless jerks and those stupidly just complying with them.

Hey I'm not actually done talking about Dolly Parton. 🧵 Specifically I want to talk about her album 9 to 5 and Odd Jobs, released in 1980 (not the soundtrack to the film 9 to 5, that's a different thing). The whole album is about work, with most of the songs focused on a different type of worker.

I'll confess that my favorite Dolly record is one she didn't write. But the vocal performance she gives "Here You Come Again" (1977, Barry Mann & Cynthia Weil) is absolutely immaculate. Listen to the tiny little voice crack on "shaking me up so" after the big second bridge youtu.be/bflkeWVTNk0?...

I've never seen such an effort to censor a document as I have the Amnesty International report on gender critical groups because of JK Rowling. They removed the report from the Wayback Machine and now I got a DMCA strike on my Google Drive for having it. It was deleted and removed from my account.
A screenshot of an email viewed in dark mode with the subject line "Google DMCA Violation." The email from Google informs the recipient that they have received a notification under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) that some of their materials allegedly infringe on copyrights. It explains the removal process, mentions that notice details will be posted on Lumen, warns against repeated violations, and lists one affected Google Drive URL at the bottomA nearly identical mobile browser screenshot of the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine. It shows a search for the same Amnesty International UK resources URL, resulting in the same message: "This URL has been excluded from the Wayback Machine."A mobile browser screenshot of the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine.

Id take it further, I would argue that pain is the goal here. The more I think about it, the more I see the need to jail and institutionalize as a manifestation of the need to punish difference. The impulse to institutionalize disabled people overlaps and is born of the same anxiety/disgust/anger.

The overriding goal of America's right wing is to restore chattel slavery so they can own Black people. That's it. Whether they will admit it or not, whether they'll even admit it to themselves, their goal is legal domination and subjugation through violence of Black people. Everything leads there.
