Crow Transgender Robot

Currently debating with myself where I’d put “transsexual”. Low if the speaker thinks it’s about sexual orientation, high if it’s an older but supportive person or highlighting how we can actually physiologically change our sex

these people are fucking freaks, man

s+: “transformed”

A lot of people, including me, were wondering how an IRB could ever approve this study.

The answer is that no IRB did. The person who “signed off” on approval from the only ethics board that reviewed it had resigned three years earlier. His signature was used without his knowledge.

CNN follows NPR and Politico in finding that DOJ scrubbed the Epstein files of evidence related to a woman who accused Trump of sexually assaulting her when she was 13 years old.

"Democrats are destroying our country but we stopped them in the nick of time, didn't we?" Trump asks, relating to Republican policy of forcible detransiton, and Republicans applaud

Someone is shouting at Trump but I can't hear what. Go that person, probably

Lmao there is no point, it’s a purely misleading post, I remain perplexed by how the ability to use AI image generation can warp your social media brain like this

I’ll say the exact same thing about science, we’re dying of AI overdose over here and it can’t even get the direction of a statement like “pathway from A to B” right

The billionaires' eugenics project: how Epstein infiltrated Harvard, muzzled the humanities and preached master-race science Edge - Jeffrey Epstein's favourite intellectual salon - was sold to me as a gathering of the world's finest minds, writes Virginia Heffernan. The files reveal it was something far darker: a decades-lo...

NEW: Read this terrific piece @virginiaheffernan.bsky.social for @thenerve.news in which she unpicks Edge.org, the hugely influential 'salon' funded by Epstein & threaded through with race science & eugenics.

Bluesky user says: This is what I am talking about, no one is pushing Newsom besides Newsom. The issue isnt that Ds are scared of a radical candidate, it is normies are scared of the left throwing a tantrum if the candidate isn’t a more radical leftist one Quote tweeting: ‪A.R. Moxon‬ ‪@juliusgoat.bsky.social‬ If I were a Democrat concerned about winning elections and was hearing that a significant number of voters wouldn’t support Gavin Newsom in 2028, I would simply stop pushing Gavin Newsom in 2026.

This is—ironically enough—what I am talking about.

RW voters who demand their bigotries be accommodated are never "radical" or "throwing a tantrum." No—those are "swing voters" to pursue, even as they fail to show up time & again. The goal here isn't a bigger tent, but to prevent movement leftward.

Multiple times I have seen major news outlets refer to the government violating constitutional rights as “cracking down,” a phrase normally used in the context of legitimate law enforcement

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.

Hundreds of kids are still detained.

We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

Please! My biggest non-security gripe with group chat based organizing is that many of us don’t have the time/energy to dig through 1000 new messages for a sense of what’s going on. Hence I’m usually an advocate for private forum-style comms in addition to chats, but this is a decent compromise.

People on the advisory board for TPUSA are also working for Palantir. That person I’m referring to also worked on Wall Street and worked for Cruz’ POTUS campaign. Now he’s considered for SC.

These people and companies all intersect.

The RW world seems vast or massive in scope. But it is tiny.

Yuma Sector CBP agent Ramon Marquez, 31, was arrested in May 2025 and has been charged with 15 felonies including 14 counts of sexual conduct with a 16-year-old between Dec 2024 and Apr 2025.

NHS puberty blocker trial information “ignores or minimises critically important risks” Professional clinicians have raised concerns about another aspect of the forthcoming Pathways trial

Anti-trans-human-rights campaigner and conversion-therapy-abuse advocate Barnes is furious that the vast majority of Trans+ youth prescribed puberty blockers graduate to a hormone replacement therapy plan, live healthy and happy adult lives, and fail to suffer the regret she appears to want for them

It's worth noting that ICE and CBP shot more of those vulnerable neighbors *in-between* Good and Pretti. And yet...

You know what nevermind.

So why set up a replacement agency? ICE has never served any real-world purpose because immigration is analytically never a “problem” to be “solved”, yet this continues to be suggested

“more secure” tech can also mean being designed to encourage more secure practices for the user, which admittedly Signal doesn’t do by default as the most intuitive use case is Really Big Group Chat

Privacy Guides Established in 2021, Privacy Guides is the largest impartial, non-profit media outlet focused on finding privacy tools and learning about protecting your digital life.

I like privacyguides.org for this, especially when I was first setting up my OPNsense router and firewall, but yeah I’d LOVE to get our nerdiest organizers together to develop SOPs so we won’t have to rely on the tech literacy of every individual in every organization.

Furthermore, accessing your top-secret revolutionary Signal chat from a compromised device or network is leaky. Use a good VPN and/or secure DNS, run a more secure OS, etc., there’s so much more we could be doing here as a movement with a fair number of tech nerds in it.

The only problems are organizers who use Signal like how folks wore non-sealing surgical masks over their chins during the airborne pandemic and thought it made them safe.

Encryption works; adding everyone you know to an encrypted chat and sending them links to Google Docs is still leaky as fuck.

By far the biggest issue is many organizers’ practice of adding a million people to Signal chats instead of having smaller cells, and then sending them all unrestricted links to Google Docs and shit
