Hey by the way if you have 20 friends, there's a ~40% chance at least one of them has perpetrated sexual assault recently, and that holds even if they're all women. So, anyway, what was that about digging up an already-punished SA from 10 years ago against the victim's wishes?

thinking about how one of the only pieces of moral direction i ever got from my rarely-talkative dad (who had been in a fraternity) was "if you join a frat i'm disowning you"

thinking about the double standards that exist between fraternities and sororities and how sororities are arbitrarily limited in order to keep them dependent on fraternities, at every level the system is fundamentally rotten and vile and designed to break women down and feed them to the rape machine

i don't think that people who went straight from aggro criticism of HDG to aggro criticism of mechsplo are anti-porn. i think that's a really reductive way to characterize that reaction. someone kneejerk reacting against porn wouldn't constantly be talking about what different porn they prefer.

I've become a real maximalist for bike lanes and single-laning and bollard-interrupted straight paths through neighborhoods and all the things that could make bicycling safe, and I still refuse to ride one. Probably never will unless we hit an infrastructure tipping point.

extremely normal attitude to have towards the idea that your spouse might one day... use a computer program. kim, there's people who keep their marital vows through their spouse getting addicted to hard drugs, doing desperate theft/assault, and spending months/years in jail and rehab.

There is a second way to prevent this from disrupting your reading experience: focus on the things you were already focusing on in your reading approach, and leave the AI paranoia at home. You can oppose AI gen literature w/o treating "accidentally liking something AI gen" as making you Unclean.

I don't like the aestheticization of legal morality inherent to those types of calls. Arbitrary imprisonment is not a leftist position. Symbolic retribution is not a leftist position. This is true even / especially when it is emotionally convenient.

75% of crashes involving a bus "causing an injury" isn't a very meaningful statistic; the bus is full of people who are gonna report every dinged elbow as an injury, knowing that the state (unlike most city drivers) actually has money. And insurance. Serious injury rate would be more meaningful.

"Publishing that story and exposing those local manipulators was bad because conservatives will use the story to mock trans and disabled people" you realize they were going to do that anyway, right? *YOU* are taking the respectability politics position by saying publishing the article was damaging.

I wonder how many people who project interiority and "consciousness significant enough to consider personhood" onto LLM-driven agents, despite understanding the technical details, themselves have a very diminished view of the complexity of their own mind due to high levels of dissociation.

I say this as someone who masks inside everywhere: the level of vitriol being directed at a lesbian bar making one night masking optional could have been directed at a hospital, where a lot more immunocompromised ppl are. Punching laterally feels like doing something when u feel helpless.

There is this weird obsession on Bluesky, in particular, to insist that Long COVID or COVID-related sequelae are the answer to everything, but as this Tufts study states: “Our primary analysis ends in 2019” It’s not COVID. These death rates have nothing to do with COVID. Jesus christ, people

Some of this stuff is kind of hot air and some of it (like the housing discrimination) is just Literally Already Illegal, but compared to Bernie "20 years in prison for linear algebra" Sanders, I'm glad to see a politician forwarding polices that aren't insane. www.thebanner.com/politics-pow...

Regulating “frontier” AI companies, including worker protections, independent audits, whistleblower protections, public reporting and “72-hour incident reporting.”
Making it easier for individuals to seek relief when their likeness is cloned.
Prohibiting the use of algorithms that enable discrimination in tenant screening and collusion among landlords to increase rents.
Banning gambling companies from using algorithms to target problem gamblers.
Enacting AI protections for private-sector workers.
Boosting AI protections for children, including a “do no harm” policy for use of the technology in schools, while also ensuring that students “are ready for an AI-shaped world.”

I have been disabled my entire life, spent several years of my childhood being acutely abused for that disability, and if you're wondering why I'm often so hostile to disability activists online it's because I find their attitude towards disability absolutely fundamentally alienating.

One of the reasons I think this went viral even in queer circles is because everyone has seen this dynamic play out in some form in our spaces. We need a better way to root out toxic people utilizing the language of liberation in narcissistic and sociopathic ways to dominate spaces.

we gotta stop acting like democrats are triangulating on this and wake up to the fact that they have parents orgs who hate their trans children in their ears, and are listening. there's no other explanation for how determined they are to immiserate trans people when it's a public opinion mixed bag.

this becomes kinda self-evidently true if you successfully experience hypnosis as a subject. you can easily make nonverbal parts of a hypnosis subject's brain start doing stuff that surprises the newly dissociated verbal/ego/conscious/whatever-you-wanna-call-it self.

is today's argument really a sincere debate over the real life existence of "cognitohazards?" it's a horror premise. it's an effective horror premise because people's fear that such things exist is very real. but empirically speaking, they do not, to the extent we can prove a negative.
