It is *fascinating* to me how quickly some people have gone completely from “we all must work in the office! human collaboration is vital and only happens in person!” to “I can replace all these pesky people with chatbots!” Definitely some commentary there about our society and who gets to choose.

Matthew Neumann, founder and executive directory of the LGBTQ Foundation of Kansas, holds up his 'M'-marked driver's license — which he refuses to give up despite a new anti-trans law declaring it invalid. (Matthew Neumann)

If you don't see the problem with forcing this man to carry an F for female on his driver's license then I don't know what to tell you

Chat is it a good idea to spend a full year calling all our allies weak and gay before starting an illegal war that instantly plunges us into the worst energy crisis in a half-century?

Naturally, because Sunzi's The Art of War is a guidebook for how to teach the failsons of princes to fail less, there is a piece of advice for this: "We cannot enter into alliances unless we are acquainted with the designs of our neighbors."

Yeah, so I realize that strategy is difficult and very advanced and we have to be mysterious like the thunderbolt but generally speaking one normally coordinates with allies BEFORE STARTING THE WAR.

It is the anniversary of the My Lai massacre today. I'd say that even more than most years, it's important to remember what happened.

And the role Hugh Thompson, an active serviceman, played in both stopping and publicising it. Despite enormous military, political and public pressure to stay quiet.

As Mamdani Walks a Tightrope, His Father Pushes Boundaries

"The thesis of Professor Mamdani’s next book will be that people are by nature migratory beings and that the notion of a homeland is a fiction. "

Very excited for this book.

How parents in the South are organizing to support their trans kids - TransLash Media Many families with trans children are advocating and creating alternative spaces across the South. Others fear they will have to leave.

Parents in the South are organizing to support their trans kids. And it turns out, the vast majority of parents with trans kids support them, contrary to the myth that it's so very hard to do. May these courageous families set an example for all. @translash.org translash.org/wire/parents...

If you’re seeing the Platner Daily Mail story about how he now no longer regrets his tattoo, that’s the Daily Mail mangling the quote

“What are you and who mentioned Yiddish

“Sorry I dont read dead languages”
“That’s Yiddish, numbskull”

this is one of the most amazing conversations I have ever seen on Bluesky. It’s a shame that the Louvre deleted his account because this should be framed

Okay I still think Platner is a world-class dumbass, subclass: meathead, but this is important and since i posted something about the original Daily Mail [now-known-to-be-a-mis]quote earlier, i wanted to share this as well

Afghan asylum-seeker dies in ICE custody, US advocacy group says Mohommad Nazeer Paktyawal is at least the 12th person to die ​in ICE detention this year.

ICE killed another person. This time an Afghani asylum seeker who worked with the US military in Afghanistan.

We put SO MANY Afghanis in danger, abandoned them and left them to the Taliban or put them in concentration camps, and then we wonder why people hate us.

@everyone PLEASE DO NOT give birth in the voice

chats. i can't believe i have to say this (and it is quite embarrassing) but yesterday someone gave birth in a channel, as much as we are honored that a child was birthed in this server, we also believe in privacy and children's protection on the internet! because of this we have disabled the voice chats for now

I'm so tired of this guys. First we couldn't use slurs and now we can't even give birth in voice chat. Freedom is threatened at every turn.

India’s New Transgender Bill Amendment And The Global Rise Of Gender Authoritarianism - Gaysi In the United States, a surge of anti-trans legislation has forced many trans people to consider leaving their home states. A 2022 survey of over 92,000 trans people found that nearly half had considered moving because of anti-trans laws, with thousands already migrating in search of safety. Trans people are increasingly described as “political refugees” fleeing hostile jurisdictions.
