In his 1992 novel Snow Crash, writer Neal Stephenson coined the phrase "Metaverse" to describe a VR world experienced through goggles. Now, Stephenson says he no longer believes face-worn computing is the future: “People don’t like wearing things on their faces and don’t trust those who do.”

Dismissed because of jurisdictional confusion, it should be stressed, rather than any new revelation that would discredit the survivors of sexual assault who have come forward.

They just want to make everything worse. They want us to die from diseases that could eradicated. They want dirty food and air and water. They want increased child mortality. They want a more unsafe, disgusting, hateful world. And the corporate press is like “but that’s a valid perspective tho?”

Don't overthink the Trump admin's reasoning here. They don't have a grand scheme. They are willing to upend the international order because they think everyone else will be too scared to fuck with them. And whatever terrorist attacks this inspires against us will just help them electorally.

Three million people live in Caracas, five million in the metro area. It's one of the densest cities in South America. Remember this in the morning when they try to spin this as anything other than a cold-blooded attack on a major civilian center.

The BBC is really showing its arse with its editorial guidelines recommending the use of a pseudoscientific dogwhistle in reporting that mentions trans people. It's important that they're not allowed to continue using fake-scientific insults in peace. New piece: oolong.medium.com/biological-m...

‘Biological male’ is a pseudoscientific dogwhistle

When we say "no, everything hasn't been digitized," I need you to understand that we really mean is that virtually nothing has been digitized. This is because the realm of primary sources that historians use is incomprehensibly large.

Good point. And elite impunity relies on a complicit mainstream press that’s ever more populated by elites or aspiring elites. Will eg the nyt’s Sulzberger, an ultrarich heir, or Kahn, another ultrarich heir, cover Epstein with the zeal they’ve reserved for pet right-wing projects like transphobia?

The types of viral DARVO rhetoric that have been leveraged against celebrity women like Amber Heard are now being weaponized against everyday, working-class women who report sexual violence.

The entire incident is infuriating and terrifying. She’s a Latina woman who was working a service job. On her way home late at night, with her headphones in, she was detained for an hour by masked federal agents who wouldn’t give her their names.
Maria Greeley, 44, had just finished working a double shift at the Beach Bar on Ohio Street
earlier this month when she said she was surrounded by three federal agents who grabbed her, forced her hands behind her back and zip tied her.
Headphones in, Greeley had been focused on getting home to her two dogs for a walk.
Instead, she said she was detained by masked agents who did not answer when she asked for names. They questioned her for an hour, she said.

It's extremely hard to convey to the average cis person just how bad the harassment of trans people on social media has gotten and how aggressively we're targeted, because if you've not been on the receiving end of it for years, you can't really grasp how relentless it is, and how isolating it is.

We don't say sex work is work because it's a cute slogan. We say sex work is work because sex workers are left out of conversations around labor rights. Sex workers have the right to safe workplaces and legal protections. Sex workers shouldn't fsce discrimination because of archaic morals.
