the fact that there are still people in this country that support the state of Israel, while also believing themselves to be crusaders against fascism, is fucking unbelievable

tech moves too fast and is too broad for anyone to know everything

the dividing line between a successful career in tech and an unsuccessful one is whether “I don’t know how to do this but I can figure it out quickly” describes you

some of the fastest learners I’ve ever met had no CS degree

2. Emotionally Limited Parents Misread Neurodivergence as Defiance Neurocomplex traits often get pathologized in emotionally rigid households. Curiosity becomes backtalk. Sensory sensitivity is framed as overreacting. Executive dysfunction gets labeled as laziness. These misinterpretations aren't just invalidating— they're identity-shaping. Over time, kids absorb the belief that being different equals being difficult.

This is also about school.

If you cannot go to the bathroom at work, you cannot go to work. If you cannot go to the bathroom at school, you cannot go to school. This effectively bans transgender people from a broad swath of public life in the UK

When you say "AI is absolute shit" people will say "that shows you don't understand AI and how it's supposed to be used" and I will say "I'm not talking about AI in some imaginary rainbow world where it's used right and not fecklessly monetized, I'm talking about our world, fucknuts."

it is not about sports. it has never been about sports. it is about banning trans people from public life entirely AT BEST, and at worst, forcing them into situations that will endanger their lives. this is why we don't play along with the "just asking questions" sports bullshit

There's not enough money to be made in using tech for the things for which they are most suited and efficient, and there are both too many people hoping to be billionaires, and too many people not smart enough to know when they're being sold hype.

just scum from top to bottom, cruelty for the sake of cruelty

everyone involved in the chain of command here should be deeply ashamed of themselves

Just a note that these are likely career civil servants, and their firing is illegal, but the Supreme Court has chosen not to stop the purge of government employees for partisan reasons.

🚨DHS asks the Supreme Court to halt an injunction restricting the ability of ICE and Border Patrol to stop and question people based on factors such as speaking Spanish, being Latino, doing day labor, or being in certain areas.

Hard not to read this as a request for a license to racially profile.

Things fall apart.

The Time should do the same analysis when they're doing their trans panic articles

those three populations are literally everyone

HITLER

what are you people doing dude

Substack's extremist ecosystem is flourishing Yup, they're still at it.

When I left Substack in 2024 I wrote: "For those who are staying because they think the Nazi problem is fake or overblown...just wait. Substack mgmt just put out the welcome mat for some pretty horrible people. Many will surely answer.”

Surprise! A bunch did.

Do not accept the question "But how do we pay for it?" about social programs ever again. That talking point is done forever.

Sunk-cost fallacy and cheating students are the only things keeping AI in business at this point.

Just look at how usage of ChatGPT plummets as soon as the semester ends.

I’m not gonna QT the article baiting engagement but more posting doesn’t make a place great. Maybe people grew up & stopped wasting their time on debate bros, social media norms moved from conversation to broadcast, many explanations for fewer posts besides “people don’t actually like the platform”

Intel shares drop after Trump calls for CEO to resign immediately Intel shares were under pressure Thursday after President Donald Trump called for the chipmaker's CEO to resign immediately.

So the "government needs to stay out of the business of business" crowd now is ok picking the CEO of #Intel? Can you imagine the outcry if Biden or Obama told a business to fire their CEO? #econsky

literally just ran into a friend yesterday whose wife is on the Portland school board and mentioned that they all got to meet Colin Kaepernick and I was like “oh my god that’s so cool!!!!”

did not realize it was for this 😬

It seems unhelpful to me that whenever someone says “Trump proposal X would be clearly illegal” a thousand people all chorus in to say “yes but SCOTUS is in the bag, it doesn’t matter.” Sure, the corrupt majority might sign off on anything. But we need to ACT like the law still matters.

As someone who helps kids tell their own stories and draw their own comics, this is repulsive.

Protesters in Chicago are bravely interrupting a hiring fair at the Congress Hotel right now, where US Customs and Border protection is recruiting today.

They are distributing these trifolds that we published.

You can print them out yourself here:

Going to keep saying: a society that wants to keep functioning needs to discourage baldfaced lying, especially by authorities

If your company’s AI can be used to create nude images of nonconsenting people then you should be subject to massive civil liabilities IMO.

Stop this. Just… Stop it. Stop using "generative AI" for anything that might actually matter, and especially things that, if it gets them wrong, *Might Fucking Kill You.*

Why does this need to be said? Why is this not obvious??? Why is this not the default way of fucking operating?! What the FUCK.

Thinking about the Holocaust scholar who was sued and silenced by Rowling because she said Rowling was spreading Holocaust denialism (because she objectively was).

For all that Black people are told to get over slavery (colonialism, etc.) white people have clearly not healed from not having a violently enforced system of social deference and cheap/free labor.

he's currently letting trans kids be detransitioned btw

Surprised that's only 10 words instead of 14
