She’d Never Changed Her Gender Marker. Kansas Invalidated Her License Anyway. — Assigned A trans Kansas resident recently changed her name but not her gender marker on her license, fearing what Kansas may do if she did. The Kansas DMV still flagged her ID.

This story, from @natezuke.bsky.social, is absolutely wild. A trans woman who never changed her gender marker was issued a letter invalidating her license. At the DMV they cut up her license, which had an "M" marker.

By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.

This is awesome!!

Curious if you tried making the features into slider bars so you can find the weirdest combination of inputs -> similar districts.

Ya, from my rereading of the CPSC warning + Seattle sites, I think these need to go to the hazardous waste sites instead of the transfer stations.

Do you know if the CPSC warning marks these batteries as "hazardous" because if so, it seems like the transfer stations want them to go directly to the "Hazardous Waste Facilities" instead of the transfer stations. I sort of assume so??

Open Source Power We have to talk about open source licensing.

Anti-fascistic software is made possible by pro-labor licensing.

I've been trying to write this piece for years. Every time I get started I'm just overwhelmed with paralyzing visions of the FOSS commentariat accusing me of WrongThink.

But I'm tired and we urgently need to get our shit together.

hello cis friends
this is what people mean by trans genocide

if a type of person does not officially exist, then any harm against them cannot be measured or reported

this headline change isn't even being caused by an executive order

it's simply the NYT editors deciding we don't deserve to exist

Woooow fascinating. I didn't know about the p symbol meaning copyright claim at all. Will read that article tomorrow morning too!

None of the other streaming platforms that I checked have any bio or description for the band either.

I can't find any webpage about the band.

Can anyone find anything???

There is no bio or description for the band on Spotify. When you search Google/DuckDuckGo for this band, only track links (Apple, Spotify, SoundCloud, LastFM) come up

They only have a three track Christmas Jazz album, released 29 November 2024.

Only one of the songs has more than 1000 plays: "Embraced by White." This is the song that is featured by Spotify in their playlist.

Does anyone want to go down a rabbit hole with me?

My girlfriend put on Spotify's "Cozy Christmas Jazz" playlist the other night and we are now trying to figure out if one of the songs/artists featured in this playlist is AI generated??

The band is "Smooth Heisters"...
