I don't think Matt Yglesias is a Nazi collaborator
New from me: Elon Musk, Standpoint Epistemologist
(on his claim that if you don't have kids you can't do AI alignment)

it's publicly listed! jesse.r.singal@gmail.com
with respect, i've been a science journalist for a while. if you want to catch up on my work and you still have qualms you can email me and i'll answer your questions
This is groundhog day medical misinformation hell.
Not OP's fault:
1. Most science journos have been laid off
2. Mainstream outlets rarely touch this meaningfully
3. This leaves a gap that's filled with partisans chanting TORDOFF 2022! TORDOFF 2022! etc

i mean they 'explained' it as quoted in the piece i linked to but the explanation makes no sense and involves a pretty severe misunderstanding of donor-advised funds
I'm baffled by the designation of SEGM as a hate group. I reached out to the SPLC repeatedly to try to get them to explain it to no avail. I've never seen anything that would justify that label and the SPLC's written claims were truly bonkers.

i'm saying the meme that 1% of american youth regret transitioning is effectively made up, in the sense that that stat doesn't map onto anything we know.
The 1% quote is made-up in the context of youth gender medicine, unfortunately.

There's also a broader point here about using regret/detrans in the absence of more robust measures. But we don't even know the regret/detrans %.
I wrote about Dr. Jonathan Howard's view that to ask the question "What is a man?" is to put people in physical danger. I also questioned doctors who are unfamiliar with the bare basics of research methods can provide good care to their patients.

Bluesky users are objectively in favor of violent threats deployed against the 'right' targets. When Bluesky does the right thing and bans or suspends one of its many users who engage in violent threats, the only possible explanation is a conspiracy theory.
I think what annoys me the most is advocates for youth gender medicine simply *lying*, for years, that doctors only prescribe these treatments after careful deliberation -- long after we've known that this isn't the case. It's hard to fathom the recklessness

I made it clear in the piece that I think violence is a bad and counterproductive solution. I don't think anyone can read it and honestly accuse me of endorsing violence. Plus Trump has (remarkably and against what I expected) dialed down the tensions a bit since then anyway.
U.S. District Court Judge Patrick Schiltz (Republican-appointed in ‘06): “ICE has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence.”
yeah i don't equivocate on this in the piece -- my argument is that prior, c2020 arguments against violent protest seem to no longer really apply, though there's actually been some de-escalation on trump's part (somehow) over the last day or so

Fertility decline is a huge social problem and will profoundly shape the world, but people outside the far right are neglecting it because of the unsavory views of those who are most vocal. Has to change.

That's me -- I forced mainstream trans activists and their attorneys to appeal this case to SCOTUS, to make a Title IX argument based on sex discrimination, and to then, when asked what their definition of 'sex' is, say they don't have any.
I would have gotten away with it too if not for bluesky.

Bluesky obsessives are far too credulous and in many cases have helped to elevate liars

BARPod has a really good episode up today about milking minotaurs (sexually), which is a thing I've never done before but sincerely hope to at some point

You follow me so you are already blocked by many thousands of the worst people on this site
if you think i’m going to engage with any conversation with someone like Jesse, i got a wood chipper to sell you
gimme an example?
Bluesky's power users are in favor of violent threats, as long as the people receiving them "deserve" them. This is a much more complex and subjectivity-laden stance to take than the mods' stance, which is violent threats are always bad. The power users hate the mods for this.
What's the most violent thing I've posted?
I'm confused but that's what usually happens when I visit this place
