There's something deeply pathetic & petty about one of the biggest msn papers coming to whine about the percieved unfair treatement in the comments of a small indie outlet that represents the structurally disadvantaged victims of the global hate campaign that the NYT supports.
There is no reason anyone should trust a word your outlet writes on trans issues. You have done immense harm through biased and inaccurate reporting, and helped foment the exact shift you now celebrate by consistently abdicating journalistic integrity. Or more succinctly, go fuck yourselves.
While it would be an improvement for the individuals, I don't see it changing the system, any more than cases now of municipalities having to pay out for police misconduct. The only way I see it changing is if cops are held personally liable (financially and criminally), like medical malpractice.
it would be so funny if it happened during the super bowl when everyone is already posting OH MY GOD out of context
I may have a stroke.
Someone said protests don’t belong in church and it took every ounce of self-censure within me not to say “Deborah you are literally a Protestant.”
A PROTESTant.
I assume they think Luther was nailing Bed, Bath, & Beyond coupons to the door.
Benjamin De Kraker O @BenjaminDEKR Follow OpenClaw is interesting, but will also drain your wallet if you aren't careful. Last night around midnight I loaded my Anthropic API account with $20, then went to bed. When I woke up, my Anthropic balance was $O. Opus was checking "is it daytime yet?" every 30 minutes, paying $0.75 each time to conclude "no, it's still night." Doing literally nothing, OpenClaw spent the entire balance. How?
The "Heartbeat" cron job, even though literally the only thing I had going was one silly reminder, ("remind me tomorrow to get milk") 1. Sent ~120,000 tokens of context to Opus 4.5 2. Opus read HEARTBEAT md, thought about reminders 3. Replied "HEARTBEAT_OK" 4. Cost: ~$0.75 per heartbeat (cache writes) The damage: - Overnight = ~25+ heartbeats - 25 × $0.75 = ~$18.75 just from heartbeats alone - Plus regular conversation = ~$20 total The absurdity: Opus was essentially checking "is it daytime yet?" every 30 minutes, paying $0.75 each time to conclude "no, it's still night."
I’m starting to think the people who are excited about “AI agents” have literally never used a computer in their lives

Amazing work, and your dress is absolutely gorgeous!
It makes sense though. The rest is exactly what I'd expect (I worked that census and actually had a couple crazies threaten to shoot me), but how does he not have his own shotgun?
Oh come on, it's not like the creator talked in an interview about how the initial She-Ra outfit was "a specific femininity that [Adora's] not comfortable with" and that felt like an uncomfortable costume, only to then come out as transmasc or something. Wait...
It feels like the same attitude that drives the "why would people be disabled when there's magic" argument in fantasy settings; they're treating fiction as wish fulfillment, and part of that wish is to not encounter anyone who challenges their views of aesthetic norms.
Yeah, it took me like 3 times to actually parse it. Such a weirdly constructed sentence.

As a Michigander with an old jeep, I keep recovery equipment with me to pull out vehicles every winter. I'd be laughing my ass off instead, and it would be deeply tempting to start doing donuts around them.

Feels like a personal attack tbh
just saw a billionaire pack all his things in a bindle and start leaving new york city on foot. he turned and looked at me with tears in his eyes and said “maybe one day when this city is safe we’ll return” before walking away
It's funny how the article postulates that there's also no overlap between white guys and queer people. Because, much like yourself, they're the wrong KIND of white guy.
Sometimes I forget how much therapy has done until I encounter something that would have sent me into a spiral and instead I just take a moment and recover.
whoever is writing reality lately is really getting heavy-handed with it. no subtlety at all

Transgender awareness week is over, you are unaware that you are transgender
I also read all of Narnia without catching the Christian undertones, so I might just be dense.
I think it's obvious IF you are at least somewhat aware of the message, and especially if you're in the particular intersection of millennial transfems who came out as adults. But I could easily see missing the allegory if you're not primed for it.
Ah, but you're assuming it doesn't further the goal of gender conformity. The same bullshit is happening in the USA, and I already know one (cis) woman who was physically attacked in the bathroom because she's a butch lesbian. It's not the tradwife-looking bigots being attacked.
It's the Jurassic Park problem: tech bros are so preoccupied with whether they can, they don't stop to think if they should.
I've used neural nets for actual research. They're great when used correctly and based on models trained for a specific purpose instead of generalized crap.
I'm currently out of work (guess who was funded by an NIH grant that got cut!) and as much as it sucks, it's the first time in forever that I've had energy to actually work on my mental health and just generally exist. It's been eye-opening realizing just how drained I was all the time.
It's such an astounding experience. Most of my years are still before coming out, but so much of my actual existence has occurred since. I have close friends who I'd swear I've known for decades, but I know I met them after coming out, so within about the past 4 years myself.
As a childless millennial, do I lose "real woman" points for only cooking for my girlfriend? Do I need to kidnap someone's kids to drive them around? Does my mom living independently hit me for further points? I have so many questions, all of which are "WTF is wrong with terfs?"
