If Sadiq Khan is a trans ally, why is he allowing JK Rowling’s Harry Potter to take over the Christmas lights in Oxford Circus? Email him now and ask him to pull the plug on transphobia. goodlaw.social/e1ae3f

Feminist theory remains undefeated in explaining the weirdest parts of the Trump administration. I'm just going to keep posting this skeleton-key-to-MAGA passage, written over 40 years ago, until everyone gets it.

"To say that straight men are heterosexual is only to say that they engage in sex (fucking exclusively with the other sex, i.e., women). All or almost all of that which pertains to love, most straight men reserve exclusively for other men. The people whom they admire, respect, adore, revere, honor, whom they imitate, idolize, and form profound attachments to, whom they are willing to teach and from whom they are willing to learn, and whose respect, admiration, recognition, honor, reverence and love they desire… those are, overwhelmingly, other men. In their relations with women, what passes for respect is kindness, generosity or paternalism; what passes for honor is removal to the pedestal. From women they want devotion, service and sex.

Heterosexual male culture is homoerotic; it is man-loving.”
― Marilyn Frye, The Politics of Reality: Essays in Feminist Theory

In the end after I pointed them to the bit where he’d said that “feminists just need to be raped properly” WH decided they would tell Milo that it had to be an interview with him and I would comment on it. They told him something about unstable phone lines for a debate.

What I mostly experienced at that time from many feminists in the UK was the sense that women in games were “asking for it”. Because everyone knew games were misogynist and horrible so what were we doing working in that industry? And no idea about how an online terror campaign worked.

Later that year they realised maybe it had been a bit important and asked me to cover it for their year round-up. I agreed. 24 hours before broadcast they told me this would now be a debate with Milo Y. I and I refused because no I do not debate him. I had to point them to his more egregious stuff

I begged Woman’s Hour to cover Gamergate in 2014, when it was the NYT front page & UK women in games were living in terror. Gamergate became the model for MAGA. They said they didn’t think it was an important story. That week they covered women mountaineers of the 19th C & new ways with aubergine

Not 'western civilization doesn't exist' nor 'western civilization is bad' but rather, "western civilization is real and good, captured in the writing andsong and we are *killing* it with our violence, cruelty and greed, we have *become* the barbarians at our own gates." Conservative in that sense.

The funny thing is, the chuds hate this version of the Odyssey because Nolan cast trans and non-white actors but if they actually were media literate, they'd hate this version of the Odyssey because it adopts their civilizational frame and then violently rejects *them* and their ideology.

I'm still making my way through this but it's really good, especially seeing important historical contextualisation of the white supremacy and misogyny inherent in cultures of consuming ever greater amounts of meat and dairy without it solely coming from a vegan lecturing perspective.

We tried to warn you about Anthropic. Now they're using xAI's ultra-polluting community-killing nightmare data centre to power your toxic claude relationship All the new paid subs from @rutgerbregman.com and @quitgpt.bsky.social's campaign, now powered by Musk 🫠 www.anthropic.com/news/higher-...

New compute partnership with SpaceX
We’ve signed an agreement with SpaceX to use all of the compute capacity at their Colossus 1 data center. This gives us access to more than 300 megawatts of new capacity (over 220,000 NVIDIA GPUs) within the month. This additional capacity will directly improve capacity for Claude Pro and Claude Max subscribers.

This joins our other significant compute announcements:

An up to 5 gigawatt (GW) agreement with Amazon, which includes nearly 1 GW of new capacity by the end of 2026;
A 5 GW agreement with Google and Broadcom, which will begin coming online in 2027;
A strategic partnership with Microsoft and NVIDIA that includes $30 billion of Azure capacity;
Our $50 billion investment in American AI infrastructure with Fluidstack.
We train and run Claude on a range of AI hardware—AWS Trainium, Google TPUs, and NVIDIA GPUs—and continue to explore opportunities to bring additional capacity online.

As part of this agreement, we have also expressed interest in partnering with SpaceX to develop multiple gigawatts of orbital AI compute capacity.
