Season 2 of DARK MATTER has been a pretty mixed bag so far but episode 5 was beautiful and moving. It’s about how even when you think you’ve lost everything important to you, life can still go on. And there are always more opportunities to give love and to receive it.

The new Dark Matter episode is one of my favorite hours of TV in a long time. Beautiful and heart-breaking.

This is a predictable result of record-setting income inequality, persistent inflation, and the Republicans calling any program that sounds like it might help an ordinary person “socialism”

Okay so @defector.com has had an odd glitch since the site redesign a couple of weeks back where the wrong photo and headline are often put together on the main page and I was going to ask them about fixing it but this just happened and as far as I'm concerned they have to leave it as is.

Screenshot for a Defector podcast episode with the headline "Consider the Emotional Lives of Scallops" only the accompanying photo is a white gormless stubbled red-headed UK singer of recent notoriety giving a flat smile to the camera while wearing a washed out peach top as beige as he is against a flat background. So, actually, probably a scallop anyway.

In 2012 I took a comp ling course that went deep into language models as AI. The professor dropped a quote that I think about probably once a week now: “building a computer model of language and expecting intelligence is like building a computer model of the ocean and expecting to get wet”

I would have gone out and found like an 8th generation Texan family who had an adult trans kid who fled Texas and cut an ad with them going "i voted the way i did to keep this texas family together, but Ken Paxton drove them apart. When the government reaches into the home, I begin to question it."

I’m a Texan trans kid who almost died because of Ken Paxton. The world should know what he’s done. This was very difficult for me to write, but given what's at stake, I cannot bear to stay silent about what I went through at Paxton's hands. He must not be rewarded for what he's done to trans kids.

I’m a Texan Trans Kid Who Almost Died Because of Ken Paxton. The World Should Know What He’s Done.

Regardless of Talarico’s recent statements on trans people, Paxton cannot be rewarded for the extreme suffering he’s inflicted on me and tens of thousands of Texan trans kids.

If you're sacrificing trans votes and goodwill because you think it will be an overall political gain, you can't expect to do that and still have our votes and goodwill. You sacrificed those, remember?

I used to believe that there were important and meaningful costs to being wrong but capitalism has shown me that in a marketplace where a narrow class has sufficient economic dominance every possible cost associated with error can be externalised.

The trick of Star Trek is that Kirk is not horny. *Gene Roddenberry* is horny. The tension between Kirk the character trying to do his job & the camera & production trying to get him laid, that's the key.
