every epstein email is some creep complaining about MeToo and then being like “oh before i forget, any advice on how to use my position of authority to force women into sleeping with me?”
being trans is not a negative outcome and neither is being autistic
My early thoughts on the Anthropic settlement:
a) good, fucking pay us
b) no, that’s not enough
c) shouldn’t have stolen our shit to train your stupid mediocre plagiarism artbarf robot in the first place, you fuckers
d) this isn’t something to celebrate; it is a Pyrrhic victory at best
an appropriate response to your product killing a child after months of psychological manipulation and torture is to take the product off the market before it kills again and the fact that this isn’t universally accepted right now is incredibly frightening
I can’t believe doing nothing but in the most annoying way possible isn’t working

Talent isn't rare. Throw an apple & you hit someone with talent. Perseverance? rare. Work ethic? exceedingly rare; the willingness to grind. Being able to endure the scorn, rejection & privation a life in the arts dooms you to in the United States is unicorn-scarce. But talent? Talent is everywhere.
The "oh you won't compromise and abandon [marginalized group]? enjoy the nazi takeover!" argument rings pretty fucking false when you consider that the horrors of a nazi takeover begin with the abandonment of marginalized groups.
Since this came out I've been so bitterly amused by how *much* of my stuff is here. Folks have spent so much energy declaring my work inferior and me a "DEI hire"... but then they stole every book, story, and even interview to feed their plagiarism machines.
And yeah, I'm adding my name.
They already took it down before I could watch it 😂
not as long as @ericrogers.bsky.social tho!
Waited a veeery long time for this moment:

Well there was the part where they said they would do all this and made a big document about it that listed them all in detail, so if the “predictive models” didn’t account for their literal stated goals, that’s very much their problem.
nyt op-ed: we cannot normalize the left’s brazen attempt to win voters by talking to them

Everything Javi said. @tillybridges.bsky.social and @susanlbridges.bsky.social wrote and directed something really special. Can’t wait for everyone else to see Long Away!
(also, hire them)
Seriously, do not buy, stream, or otherwise support of promote more Harry Potter bullshit. It is no longer theoretical - Rowling is funelling those wizard bucks into getting the law changed to actively oppress an already-vulnerable minority.
Remove a letter, ruin a movie.

Are we being kind to one another today??
Maybe this is a Thing?!?
Spotting the cyber truck with the giant Toyota decal on the front is the new Angelyne sighting here in LA
Listen. I believe ardently in criticizing our leaders for their failures and inaction but if you refuse to acknowledge their efforts when they do make them and if you refuse to recognize a step in the right direction, you don’t really want change. You just want to complain.

trans people need you, *i* need you, to tell Newsom exactly what you think of him saying trans Californians (in a trans! sanctuary! state!) aren’t worth protecting
PLEASE DO NOT LET THIS SLIDE
