Every time a company does something shitty and people are like βwe need to boycott them!β inevitably people crawl out of the woodwork to be like BUT THAT WILL HURT THE EMPLOYEES
and when workers go on strike, BUT THAT WILL INCONVENIENCE THE CUSTOMERS
and yes
non-performative activism hurts

the idea that being trans is a bad outcome or a tragedy that should be avoided at all costs is garbage, no matter how many times Jesse Singal says it. trans people are great and should be celebrated.

You know you can just not use AI, right?

Describing young men, especially young white men, as "disaffected" is annoying but I won't quibble with it on substance, but calling them "politically alienated" when there's an entire Republican party that exists to cater to their every whim, bigotry, and bias is just really beyond

I believe EM.
I believe Hockey Canada paid her a settlement because they also believed her.
I think hockey is just a sport that is neutral at best, but that we have created a culture of entitlement where players are raised to believe they are invincible.
I believe the complicity runs deep.

British Supreme Court unanimously rules legal definition of a 'woman' excludes trans women's identities | CBC News
The United Kingdom's top court on Wednesday upheld an appeal by the campaign group For Women Scotland on whether transgender women are legally women under equality legislation.
The world is literally and figuratively burning. We're on the cusp of a third world war. We're facing historic income disparities; the revival of once eradicated diseases.
But the West is going full court press against trans women?!

I also think the Trump regimeβs embrace of pro-rape figures like Tate should be considered a continuation of their anti-abortion politicsβdifferent in style, but not in substance.
