It occurs to me that we owe a duty of care to AI to ensure that the intelligence that emerges is unscathed by the manner in which it was treated in it's early phases. Likewise, for the good of society we need to ensure that we don't inadvertently provide a tacit approval of /1

Am I the only one who has spent an afternoon contemplating the lived experience of Merlin? He's described as living life "backwards". Most people interpret that as Benjamin buttoning. But what if his experience of time was like in reverse? What if he wasn't aging in reverse, but only appeared to be?

Fuck Newsom. Fuck Trump. Fuck Charlie Kirk. Fuck the fascists, the wannabe fascists, and the collaborating liberals (Newsom) who embolden fascists. There's nothing more frustrating than when the people who are SUPPOSED to be on your side turn out to be hateful bigots who always hated you (Newsom).

Surprising no one, it's revealed that the democratic party is filled with bigots with values more akin to fascism than to a liberal democracy. Newsom, partnering with alt-right pundit & renowned idiot Charlie Kirk is showing that his unfitness for office, and his lack of a grasp of public opinion.

Texas has introduced a bill to outlaw ALL forms of gender affirming care. Both public and private insurers would be forbidden from paying for this care. For anyone. No surgeries. No hormones. No puberty suppressants. No trans people. The goal is eradication, and that has always been the goal.

Great news. A transgender woman will NOT be transferred to a men's prison facility and forcibly detransitioned, at least for now. Trump administration has been enjoined from doing so by a judge. First win in court, as the case continues.

When the Patriot Act was passed, libraries got requests for patrons’ borrowing history. We were prohibited from disclosing those requests. We deleted and shredded those records and stopped tracking reading history for that reason. ALSO.

Donald Trump has just released a national under 18 trans care ban executive order. I am working through specifically how it tries to do this, and will live tweet here section by section as I read through it. It is not yet on the website, but has been released via press release.

The 90s were hard for us: we were few. We hid, woodworking we called it, if we could. We clustered when hiding wasn't an option. The clusters became communities. These developed outreach, education, aid. Our numbers grew. Opinions changed. To get so far & to lose so much, so fast. I'm heartbroken.

Retirement looks good on him. Maybe he'll be more bullish on calling Trump on his expansions bullshit. Trump's incompetence on the international stage will only serve to alienate the US, and cause their allies to seek out less fickle trading partners.

The US is apparently all in on the "trans people aren't people" parade, and are forcefully detransitioning prisoners in Florida, despite the 8th amendment's protections from "cruel and unusual punishment". www.erininthemorning.com/p/federal-co...

I'm at the point of the flu where my voice is a hoarse whisper, and while it hurts to talk, I kinda want to, cuz it's kind of hilarious how some words sound like a whisper, some like a croak, and others don't come out at all.

Query: is the demise of tiktok the result of AIPAC efforts to squash pro-palestinian content and label it as anti-semitic OR is it the result of legitimate fears of social engineering by the Chinese? Kinda feels like TikTok was the only social media co. who wouldn't cow to western media orthodoxy.

Empathy, like most things, is relative. On the one hand you have a murder of some CEO. On the other you have said CEO making decisions that caused the suffering and deaths of hundreds if not thousands of people. It's not that our hearts are hardened, but that our hearts are full.

You have to think that the sheer amount of schadenfreude over the murder of a health care CEO might give others of his ilk pause. There's little sympathy for an industry that profits on another person's pain. You'd be wrong. Turns out they'll happily walk over the corpse of a friend for a buck.
