I saw yesterday that some right-wing outlets were running stories about me, which I’m used to. But this time I’m going to say something about it, because these were framed to imply that I was aligned with their own transphobia. ⬇️

🇭🇺♟️Chess legend Judit Polgár, featured in Netflix’s Queen of Chess, is the ruling Tisza party’s pick for President of Hungary. If she accepts, she'd become Hungary’s first Jewish president, succeeding ousted Orbán loyalist Tamás Sulyok—whose father was actually a Nazi. Quite a symbolic change.

And here is the CENTCOM report that lists 1,700 targets truck in first 72 hours, which also corroborates. If Grok was used for 2,000 in the first 96 hours, then it had to be the technology that was responsible for the strike on the school. Let's stop talking about algae, this is a scandal.

The school was hit on the first day of the war. On March 3, Admiral Cooper, head of CENTCOM, mirrored the declation, stating that "less than 100 hours into this operation, and we've already struck nearly 2,000 targets with more than 2,000 munitions" (at 1:40) 2/ x.com/CENTCOM/stat...

Did DoD just admit in a court filing that it used xAI's Grok Gov Model to hit the girls' school on the first day of the Iran war? Based on some passages flagged by @rgoodlaw.bsky.social in DoD's recent filing in NAACP's case against X, it looks like it did 1/

Happy Pride to this Caravaggio self-portrait that made one man so gay he had to go to the hospital

Caravaggio's Baccus painting, featuring a lush fruity spread and leaves bedecking a pasty twink who only works out his arms

Article screenshot that says:

The most extreme examples of
Stendhal syndrome share a sensation of
self-fragmentation. Magherini
describes the case of a 53-year-old
German man who was hospitalized
after repeatedly viewing Caravaggio's
Bacchus at Uffizi Gallery. The patient
felt "an attraction closer and closer to
an intimate sexual arousal of
ambiguous nature that invaded him
and made him feel good and bad."
Unmoored and distressed, he sought

Late start, but a book party is my favorite kind. I choose this one for day 15. The most audacious book I’ve ever read. It strives for much and achieves it all. #booksky #20books20days #bookchallenge #buchchallenge #20daybookchallenge
