no matter your politics it’s disrespectful to joke about someone’s death. don’t say dick cheney died when he was out hunting and tried to shoot a bird in a tree but missed and hit a big branch which fell on his dick and smashed him flat and then the bird pooped on his head. don’t say stuff like that

One of the problems of watching Startrek is the feeling that in a better universe, I would be being absolutely railed by a cute Vulcan scientist up against a replicator and the floor would be piled with plates of old cod because it misheard my vocalisations.

I cannot stress how important Rebecca has been for trans gamedevs. I wouldn't be here if not for her and her wife.

Help if you can.

All over the world, one of the queerest things LGBT organizing and HIV/AIDS care has done in the last few decades has been to give queer and trans people access to dignified employment doing important work WITHOUT a college degree.

This is under attack by the US govt.

Elon Musk Leads Campaign To Force Netflix To Remove Shows With Trans Characters Musk's posts have been seen by tens of millions of users, and many conservatives are now attempting to force Netflix into a removal of LGBTQ+ content.

1. Led by Elon Musk, the far-right has exploded in a campaign to get Netflix to remove shows with queer and trans characters.

If Netflix capitulates to their demands, an already strained market for LGBTQ+ animators might become even more dire.

Appreciate the framing of caution, but having seen vibe coded analysis routines the publication pressures that create them, this is candy flavored poison. The cited paper demonstrates the value of human labor in the training set, and required expert intervention in simply loading 8/12 datasets

Its true, our software is bad, but the answer isn't to glue a fabrication engine on top of our data. "AI" for science is just a turn away from the hard problems of funding tool development in a way that creates sustainable infrastructure. Every dollar spent on AI is a dollar not spent on real tools.

The summary of the situation is:

- the RubyGems and Bundler team had their access revoked, un-revoked, and re-revoked w/o being told why
- the Ruby Central board supported this
- the Director of Open Source implemented it
- it took TEN DAYS to get an explanation
- the explanation makes no sense

Having met with both sides on the current RubyCentral/RubyGems situation, here's my take:

- RubyCentral have managed this exceptionally poorly in many ways including removing literally the most active member of the RubyGems organisation by mistake who has declined to return

1. My newest Anti-Trans Legal Risk Map is here.

Risk has increased sharply for youth in many states as clinics shutter under Trump and state AGs refuse to enforce civil rights laws.

For adults, some increases in risk.

Nationwide risk remains extreme.

The reason you're being called out over this is because the people who make (and buy) the games in the QGB expect better.

We are telling you why this was a mistake, and now it's up to the QGB to choose to do better.

There is still time: choose who you want to be.

Why on Earth did you choose this poem instead of simply seeking poetry from one of the queer creators of today? I'm certain that many of the participants in the bundle could have provided something far more appropriate.

This has been a week full of warnings for the American food supply, at least involving cheese, coffee, and now potentially radioactive shrimp. I'll provide the FDA alerts in this thread.

I also wish ill upon J.K. Rowling.

May she be denied peace, in this life and the next, unless and until she chooses to be better.
