This is what drove me nuts about all the post-2016 journalism dedicated to puzzling out the average Trump voter. It's not hard--they like him because they think he's their best shot at getting rid of all the people they don't like. "I don't want Muslims in my Texas" is as deep as it gets.

Rape is not special, rape is not rare. It's the foundation of patriarchy. Without the constant threat of rape, women and minorities wouldn't be staying in "their place" in male dominated hierarchies. There is a reason rape is the number 1 war crime, it's government protected terrorism.

I read this and it was great! It really helped me understand how many Americans view life and how that informs their personal and political choices, as someone who grew up outside this world.

The arc of history will bend toward justice only if we bend it, otherwise disgusting parasites like this will gorge themselves on the necrotic flesh of our decaying empire until the lights go out.

in the words of my friend Grace, arguing about who does and doesn't get to use the word "lesbian" is for people who aren't having lesbian sex

Not only is this incredibly disturbing, but it gives the lie behind AI: it's not independently learning, it's being corrected, updated, and trained by armies of remote human workers in real time. Anyone who falls for the "AI will replace us" myth is a doofus.

My degree is in molecular bio and I've worked 10 years in cancer research and mass spectrometry. I have a minor in gender studies, studied history, politics, art, queer theory, humanities at the uni level, did 2 internships: one in a cancer lab, one at a nonprofit benefitting women in rural Nepal.

when ai leaves u behind
7 panel comic.

Panel 1:
A Red Guy with AI across his chest looks like he’s about to run away. A Yellow Guy stands next to him. Red Guy says “I’m the future, buddy. You comin’?”
Yellow Guy replies “Nah”

Panel 2: 
Red Guy is almost out of the panel. He leans in and says “Enjoy getting left behind, pal”
Yellow Guy replies “ok”

Panel 3:
Yellow Guy stands alone.

Panel 4: 
Close up on Yellow Guy, there is a quiet “huff-huff-huff” noise coming from behind him

Panel 5:
Yellow Guy turns to look behind him

Panel 6: 
Close up on Yellow Guy’s face as if from the point of view of an attacker.
Yellow Guy yells “Jesus Christ”

Panel 7:
AI Red Guy is now chasing the Yellow Guy. 
Red Guy: “Use me”
Yellow Guy “No”
Red Guy “USE ME”

Saw both the Converse and Target (kids costume) racist ads. What's surprising to me about both is not just how blatantly and remarkably violent the racism, but the...old-timey-ness? Like 1930s-ass-racist. Stuff that reallllly seems too specific to even be passed off as a mistake.

the best thing about being in my 40s by far has been the freedom to refer to anonymous guys in their late teens/early 20s as “kid” like Han Solo calls Luke in Star Wars. been waiting my whole life for this. worth every second. indescribable feeling of power.

Yet another selfless thing she did. Enrolling in clinical trials can save the lives of some patients who aren't responding well to established therapies, but there's no guarantee of success. It's more drugs, more tests, more biopsies and blood draws, more side effects. But it's how we get progress.

Me today, a Tuesday, after a workday of processing mass spec samples, my daughter losing her 2 front teeth at once, and reading Ira Levin's original Rosemary's Baby: should I listen to Dolly Parton and Emmylou Harris's duets or Pink Floyd's "The Wall" on the way into work tomorrow morning? 🤔

Today my 2 bosses were trying to Google something related to work (proteomics) and of course the AI summary pops up first. Both mentioned how it was blatantly wrong. In my experience it's like quizzing a brand-new intern in its "answers". This is why we don't use it!

Every app has a big identical AI sidebar with primary-color sparkles, and I’ve developed a permanent blind spot for that square now. You could put pornography on the right sidebar of an app and I wouldn’t even see it.

This is why we immediately took my youngest in for every little rash this summer...luckily she's had 2 doses of MMR, and just has extremely sensitive skin. But having to worry about this is SO ANNOYING.

I have an atypical ADHD presentation, but my daughter has been basically the textbook image for ADHD since she was 2. People around us who were skeptical at 3-5 were less skeptical as she hit 6-7..and when she started Ritalin, the change was so obvious I think it actually changed hearts and minds.

AI might somewhat convincingly generate fake photos or summarize your emails, but it is IN NO WAY capable of "replacing American science" and attempting to do so will lead to industry collapse and literal deaths. Do not listen to the techbros.
