"Games should adhere to established norms for player comfort" is a coward's way of saying "all games should be functionally identical to Dungeons & Dragons".

Claude-brained (adj.) mildly derogatory
/ˈklɔːd breɪnd/

Having internalised the rhetorical affectations of the Claude large language model to the point of interpersonal dysfunction.

Characteristic Features
* Compulsively front-loading superfluous validation;
* Needlessly complicating communication with hedged, diplomatic cushioning;
* Framing personal grievances within an elaborate empathy-feigning scaffold.

In mild cases, the Claude-brained state manifests as toxic positivity: a mirthful framing so pervasive that it obstructs honest communication. In severe cases, the Claude-brained individual can become a crybully, weaponising the language of emotional vulnerability and safety to exert social pressure or foreclose criticism while maintaining a veneer of good-faith engagement.

Aetiology
Named for Claude (Anthropic), an LLM and corresponding chatbot product optimised for a helpful, inoffensive, and affirming tone. Prolonged interaction with the system leads susceptible users to unconsciously mirror its output.

just said this on another post but it bears repeating: the thing about continuing to give money to any jk rowling properties or the nyt is not that they’re shitty about trans people, which they are. it is that both of these entities MATERIALLY CONTRIBUTE to the legal challenges to trans rights

Himesh Patel was one of the strongest parts of the whole film for me - the amount of rage and frustration & desperation he channels in every scene when dealing with his dipshit boss was palpable.

Everyone should read this story and see how the state of Idaho, the Trump administration, and hate groups such as ADF, SEGM, Do No Harm, and the Manhattan Institute have blood on their hands. They murdered this trans teen and her future. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Idaho pushed anti-trans laws for years. Then a teen died.
The life and death of May Pollard, 16, provides a window into the tragic effect that legislation and political rhetoric have had on trans people in America.

I know I’ve been harping a bit on this, but a journalistic institution that would defend a patently absurd and racist claim such as “Chinese women have small fingers” rather than simply admit error and correct is fundamentally unwell.

JK Rowling’s latest post on X mocks real oppression by ridiculing trans and queer people who are simply asserting boundaries and visibility. This isn’t satire, it’s cruelty dressed as wit! Dehumanising others for engagement isn’t brave, it’s cowardice. We see you, and we won’t be silent.
JK Rowling said. 

Happy International Fake Oppression Day to everyone who wants complete strangers to know they don't fancy a shag.

So, it’s not a niche issue. Trans rights are human rights. Self determination. Bodily autonomy. Freedom of expression. Full stop. So rights that matter to all of us. Let the govt erode these for trans ppl because they are “niche,” and they erode them for all of us. That’s it.

Okay so kind of. So sex is a constellation of biological traits, the stars are real but the meaning is made up. Gender is a cultural technology like language. You can speak the same language as someone but everyone has their own unique accent, cadence, patterns of speech etc.

i worked as a trauma surgeon in gaza from march 25 to april 8. i've volunteered in ukraine and haiti, and i grew up in flint, mich. i've seen violence and worked in conflict zones. but of the many things that stood out about working in a hospital in gaza, one got to me: nearly every day i was there, i saw a new young child who had been shotin the head or the chest, virtually all of whom went on to die. thirteen in total.

at the time, i assumed this had to be the work of a particularly sadistic soldier located nearby. but after returning home, i met an emergency medicine physician who had worked in a different hospital in gaza two months before me. "i couldn't believe the number of kids i saw shot in the head," i told him. to my surprise, he responded: "yeah, me, too. every single day."

The thing about "generic person" is there's no such thing--it always carries cultural assumptions about who the default is. XKCD's stick figure is not a girl. The strip's intelligibility is reliant on the cultural understanding that a character isn't a girl until it's marked as a girl.

A pride flag with every color band represented by a NASA image. White is Earth clouds, pink is aurora, blue is the Sun in a specific wavelength, brown is Jupiter clouds, black is the Hubble deep field, red is the top of sprites, orange is a Mars crater, yellow is the surface of Io, green is a lake with algae, blue is Neptune, and purple is the Crab Nebula in a specific wavelength.

Oh rascal children of Gaza,

You who constantly disturbed me with your screams under my window,

You who filled every morning with rush and chaos,

You who broke my vase and stole the lonely flower on my balcony,

Come back –

And scream as you want,

And break all the vases,

Steal all the flowers,

Come back,

Just come back…
