To my Canadian friends, an acquaintance started a petition to allow US transgender citizens to claim refugee status here.

(1) Casey Means is a dreadful nominee and should not be confirmed.
(2) I don't have any desire to defend for-profit advertising of any kind.
(3) "Obesity is a national crisis" as a message both relies on and perpetuates bias against fat people.
A screenshot of the "AI Controls" settings of Firefox version 148 showing all AI "enhancements" blocked
I don't think I've actually been excited to update to the latest version of Firefox since the version number was in single figures, but the latest version - 148 - ships with a "switch off all AI" setting that I have swiftly enabled.
Any software that includes AI should have a kill switch like this
For anyone who hasn't been following just how extreme the disinformation campaign against fundamental human rights has become, there are 37 BC MLAs who today voted to abolish the entire Human Rights Code.
In incredible news, the European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly for "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women."
Even the center-right European People's Party voted for the declaration.
It will form a foundation for their position at the UN Commission on the Status of Women.
Our latest.
Hey Canadian media ... "born as a biological male" is not the move when you're reporting on what happened in Tumbler Ridge.
Here's is the @transjournalists.org Style Guide if you are covering this story today
styleguide.transjournalists.org
NEW from me today:
Tumbler Ridge is mourning a horrific loss. But how the shooter's identity is being talked about online, and the dangerous links being made to trans people at large, will have resounding and dangerous impacts in the months and weeks to come.

hey remember when I got shit on for years for trying to warn people that GamerGate was just Nazis and not just about harassing women and not just about some βconsumer revoltβ

It's like in a hiest movie when the kidnappers demand a helicopter. π¬
These chuds were at my workplace (a smaller BC university) earlier this week and are even more disgusting and unhinged in person. Absolutely vile and bigoted in every way you can imagine.
Shameful behaviour from Hootsuite, highly recommend cancelling your account and going elsewhere.
Makes my day to get jumpscared by my own book in the background β€οΈ
I had hoped if he won he'd pull in some labour/blue collar support but seeing that AI AMA does not give me much hope.
Glad to see the backlash, at least!
All good! Glad to hear I'm not wildly high! π
I'm curious what your playtime is! I've been replaying it before Silksong and have passed 60 hours with around 70% completion and feel like I'm very slow π
(My first playthrough from years ago ended around 55 hrs/85% so I think I've gotten worse at games!)
This is very good content to be aware of!!!
What if none of these things is a distraction from the other things and instead they're all just horrible things
Andrew Kadel @DrewKadel@social.coop My daughter, who's had a degree in computer science for 25 years, posted this about ChatGPT on Facebook. It's the best description I've seen. Something that seems fundamental to me about ChatGPT, which gets lost over and over again: When you enter text into it, you're asking "What would a response to this sound like?" If you put in a scientific question, and it comes back with a response citing a non-existent paper with a plausible title, using a real journal name and an author name who's written things related to your question, it's not being tricky or telling lies or doing anything at all surprising! This is what a response to that question would sound like! It did the thing! But people keep wanting the "say something that sounds like an answer" machine to be doing something else, and believing it *is* doing something else. It's good at generating things that sound like responses to being told it was wrong, so people think that it's engaging in introspection or looking up more information or something, but it's not, it's only, ever, saying something that sounds like the next bit of the conversation.
The only thing ChatGPT ever does.
If you're not trans, I don't think I can fully explain how important this is.
It's so powerful that one of the most circulated science media publications in the world has come out and said "trans children are real and providing transition care improves their lives." That's groundbreaking.
Look man I donβt think the people being poisoned by data centers really care if you remove the generated assets before shipping, and I donβt really care if you βonlyβ use the machine that stole my shit and convinced teens to off themselves for internal PowerPoints.
Cool motive. Still bullshit tho.
I applaud Skate Canada for taking a principled stance to support figure skaters and oppose Smith's awful, awful legislation. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
This is extremely true and super important to remember. The goal of every oppressor is to remove all joy from you.
Even little laughs are an act of resistance.
Since Polygon is leaving it out of the headline: Epic Games partnered with The Game Awards to put money into the pocket of a bigot who uses her wealth to further the genocide of trans people through lawsuits and legislation. Every 'free' game gives money directly to JKR, and they are complicit.
Epic pays for licensing fees for the games they give away for free as promotions. Which means even if YOU aren't paying for it, you're giving money to JK Rowling to harm transgender people AND elevating her stature by giving her franchise higher numbers.
NO TERF WIZARD GAME. NO TERF WIZARD SHOW.
Trans and non-binary people in Canada experience higher rates of poverty compared to their cisgender peers, according to a recent Statistics Canada report.

If youβre not already following @tyolsen.bsky.social for Fraser Valley flood updates, now would be the time to do so.
On this day 36 years ago, 14 people died at a Montreal university because some fragile fucking man couldnβt handle a woman βtaking his placeβ in the engineering program.
Male rage isnβt a new problem. Entitled men arenβt a new problem.
And women are entitled to every ounce of anger we carry.
Seconding Deezer, I made the switch recently and it's functionally identical, has almost all the songs I favourited on Spotify (including some obscure stuff) and while not perfect, seems FAR more ethical than Spotify.
(The family plan is a hit cheaper, in Canada at least, so that was a nice perk!)
