One of the more misogynistic takes currently trending in the AI policy space is "women use less AI than men because they have less tech literacy" Ok but have you considered that women use less AI than men because we have more tech literacy?

Israel must release Zeteo contributor Alex Colston and the rest of the flotilla activists and crew. This is piracy:

Zeteo contributor Alex Colston is among those Israel abducted, as activists accuse Greece, a NATO member, of complicity after Israeli forces intercepted 22 boats in international waters near Crete.

One of the consequences of people shifting their news/info consumption to audio/visual sources instead of reading is that if you’re a woman or have vocal fry (or both, like me) a lot of people will say you’re “unlistenable” and refuse to engage with what you’re saying at all

I hadn’t known this. Two men who were accused of sexual abuse on the Shitty Media Men document that I created back in 2017 reached out to Michael Wolff for help as they looked to sue me, and Wolf forwarded their concerns to Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein offered to help. www.jmail.world/thread/EFTA0...

If you’re in Toronto, get out to Pearson to support the Air Canada wildcat strike. This is the most important labour action in years. The government’s use of Section 107 is an act of war on labour, and CUPE is refusing to lay down their arms. If you want a future for labour in Canada, get out there.

Protests in the United States on Palestine and Israel, 2023–2024
Erica Chenoweth,Soha Hammam,Jeremy Pressman &Jay Ulfelder

ABSTRACT
From 7 October 2023 to 7 June 2024, the Crowd Counting Consortium recorded nearly 12,400 pro-Palestine protests and over 2,000 pro-Israel protests in the United States. Since January 2017, when CCC first started counting protest events and their crowd sizes, the current pro-Palestine protest wave involves the largest, most sustained US protests sparked by a foreign event. We hypothesize three possible reasons for the size of the pro-Palestine mobilization: casualties and suffering motivate protestors and the Palestinian casualties have been much higher; protestors react to the US government’s position, which in this case strongly favors Israel; and protestors are driven by emotional outrage at Israeli policy and the resultant Palestinian suffering. By looking at property damage and police injuries, we also conclude that this pro-Palestine movement has not been violent. That is true of both the national protest wave in general and of the student encampments in spring 2024 in particular. The rhetorical core of this pro-Palestine movement has not been a call for violence against Jews, but rather a call for freedom for Palestinians and an end to violence being inflicted upon them. To substantiate this point, we considered two sources of evidence: 1) the banners, signs, and chants seen or heard at pro-Palestine events; 2) the demands issued by organizers of over 100 student encampments. One caveat: Although we use the terms pro-Israel and pro-Palestine as shorthand, we acknowledge that these binary terms are unsatisfying and misleading.

Anyone find it funny how when the UK releases the Cass review to ban trans care, we get everything ranging from New York Times push notifs to op-eds in every major US paper... But when Germany, Switzerland, and Austria release pro-trans youth care guidelines, not a single article anywhere but mine?

Rahm Emanuel saying he’s a predator so trans people shouldn’t have rights is a pretty clear distillation of the issue. Cishet men are sexual predators but they have all the power, while trans people have the least power, so trans people must be blamed for and punished for the crimes of cishet men

People literally died from Covid while claiming it doesn’t exist. There is never going to be a wake up call for some people. A lot of people. It’s not about convincing them if they can’t be convinced. IMO it’s about overwhelming them entirely with opposition.

When men are unhappy with love, sex, or gender relations it is a social crisis that calls out for immediate diagnosis and remedy. When women are unhappy with love, sex, or gender relations it is because feminism has made them dumb.

Backlash politics are frequently deployed to urge caution to those working against injustice: Be careful, demanding too much equality will hurt you. I think its lesson should instead be for maximalism: even small gains will be resented, so aim for the big ones—the ones that will be hardest to undo.

YET ANOTHER STUDY shows that a tiny number of children are diagnosed with gender dysphoria and an even tinier fraction receive puberty blockers or hormones. Anyone still pretending there is a "debate" about this is willfully ignoring all of the available data. gidmk.substack.com/p/gender-dys...
Of the 3,782 children with a diagnosis of gender dysphoria in this dataset, 176 were ever prescribed puberty blockers and 302 ever got hormones.

Everyone should be aware of the line that has been crossed in the Trump trans military EO. No longer is this about "evidence," "science" or "protecting kids." Now, explicitly, black and white, it's about trans people being "liars," "dishonorable," "false." It's a big step towards very bad things.

I want to be clear about where we stand with the EO: The battlefield is now revealed. We know the pieces on it and their plans. It doesn't mean its lost or immediate. But Trump has fired his first shot. Implementation will take time and challenges are sure to come. Stay strong, its a marathon.

This moment in Bluesky is a great example of how joy itself can be defiance and resistance. We are just hanging out, shitposting, being silly, happy, and normal. It is being treated as if it is transgressive, opting out of the endless negativity. Because in a way, it is. Joy is my favorite weapon.
