This story contains a porn-texting police chief, a money-hungry police union, a nasty mayor’s race, a man in a Waldo costume and the phrase “pig pig pig” — your weekend read from The Western Edge.
They've now killed four people -- three U.S. citizens and a Mexican national. They've shot several more.
They've lied about all of them. They haven't shaded the truth. They haven't "misled" us. They've brazenly, knowingly lied while in possession of the evidence disproving their lies.
Former Chief Medical Officer calls out Streeting’s highly politicised ‘trial’ of puberty blockers. Meanwhile @goodlawproject.org have uncovered a spike in trans youth ending their own lives because they can’t access appropriate care. This is a national scandal.
A member of ACT UP said that during the peak years of the AIDS crisis in the 1980s: “We went to funerals and buried our friends in the morning, protested in the afternoon and then fucked danced and partied all night.”
Because the world is on fire, it’s on us to live out loud. We need to do it all.
I don’t think we should categorize examples where these systems are used by individuals for stalking or harassment as “misuse” of the technology. This is very much literally why the tech exists, and there are no meaningful ways these uses are prohibited.
Iranian hackers threatening to hack into the top 3 credit bureaus and wiping Americans debt… and I just wanna know who I gotta speak to in order to expedite this.
Hidden at the end of this bill is its real purpose: defining trans existence as sexualized and a threat to children.

I worked in healthtech for quite a few years and yeah what is this clown doing
Speaking as someone who used to work in an oncology research lab - no, ChatGPT is not helping find cancer. There are special, custom-built neural networks that can categorise biopsies (and someone at my former lab actually built one of those for a specific niche use!), which is *very* different.
it's so cool how these people are going to set back actually useful computer science innovation in healthcare by a decade

The threat culture is a vital piece of the sexual-abuse cycle we don’t talk about enough because of the … threat culture. It’s a big circle of silencing. And this helps sustain the system of abuse. Women shouldn’t have to exist within it, but we do.
Re-upping my Epstein essay from August as new information emerges today.
Caution: disturbing descriptions of my and others’ sexual assaults.
Release all the damn files. This is the ultimate test of this nation’s useless partisanship.
But part of the reason @donnerkay.bsky.social peace is so IMPORTANT is that …..
THEY DO THAT SHIT TO PEOPLE WHO ARE ALREADY MARGINALIZED
And in the absence of someone like me, someone like, or a Sinead O Connor or a waitress
THEY DO IT TO KIDS and they’ve done it for CENTURIES
Lol same.
Holy shit!!
and yep this happens all the time
You’ll see me and @brooklynmarie.bsky.social reference it opaquely
But uh me and a couple Brown folks ended up getting a whole TED project shuttered
On civic media

OEF operation Epic Fury = operation Epstein Files
Over twenty years ago, a court ruled that forcing trans people to live “in an intermediate zone as not quite one gender or the other is no longer sustainable”.

Most of the talk about OpenAI, Anthropic and “mass surveillance” neglected to mention that widespread scraping of the web is in itself mass surveillance.
Acting like a fascist is just being a fascist. /2
Repeat after me: the purity chasing in fandom is moral bigotry.
The same cloth, same exact one, every stitch and pattern-
Fascists cut from to isolate and kill marginalized communities.
That’s why you’re being called fascists. Not because you don’t like -insert art/fiction here-
Racist fascist dog murderer Kristi Noem being removed from DHS isn’t close to being enough, she needs to be charged with fraud from her time as failed Governor of South Dakota to now and crimes against humanity. Unfortunately that can’t happen with a criminal tyrant in office.
I hope some of you find this thread useful. I did not enjoy putting it together.

This column reads like Parker read a few headlines about the case and got mad about it. It’s quite misleading.
