MAN-MACHINE INTERFACE

Chapters 44-45 plus all chapters so far in one file!

This is the story I’ve been working on between ‘real’ projects, because my brain wouldn’t stop bugging me about what KIMMY might have been like if I’d gone a different direction with it.

in a shitload of pain tonight, so aside from a little tinkering with the scene plan, I haven’t been working on Dorley.

there’ll be at least one MMI chapter up by the time I go to bed. possibly two. expect typos, and possibly for it to be insane?

"i know we have a flourishing community here but i would rather alienate literally all those people so we can compete over the guys who have already been happily using mastodon for 4-7 years now. and how are we going to lure them here? simple. by treating existing users extremely poorly."

i will say it takes a certain amount of balls to go to the website with all the people who couldnt stomach mastodon and tell them Our Ideal Version Of This Place Is Mastodon

The Self-Cancellation of Bari Weiss Like much of her writing, the former New York Times editor’s resignation letter is long on accusation and thin on evidence.

This has been extremely well documented and requires 5 seconds of searching. newrepublic.com/article/1585...

Supreme Court: of course states can regulate, and restrict access to, medical procedures if there’s a compelling public interest

Colorado: (bans conversion therapy for minors)

WHAT ARE YOU DOING MAN

And no one in a position of power ever pushes back on it. Whether it's Democratic politicians, foreign leaders, or the press, no one ever is like, "First off, wtf are you talking about?"

they're just, like, dickheads, aren't they?

Has anyone made this FOI request of the south-west and the London CYP Gender services?

This post ⬇️relates to the north-west service, where not one young person has been offered medical transition since the service was opened over a year ago.

This isn't treatment. It's state sanctioned conversion.

Gender Identity Clinic's Waiting Lists from Shortest To Longest

Edited stills from the avengers movie. Keir Starmer: it is unbritish to go to a protest on October 7th. Mark Ruffalo: that's my secret chief... I'm always unbritish.

Tfw your being called unbritish because you're opposing a genocide.

The people putting these flags up aren't a grassroots movement, they're being astroturfed via Tommy Robinson and Turning Point by US Christian Nationalist money, and the second their message starts to get lost you'll see all those flags replaced by British Movement or BNP or Britain First ones.

Matt Yglesias QT'ing Corey Walker I didn’t rejoice at her cancellation and got cancelled myself at roughly the same time, but I am sincerely jealous that no regime-aligned billionaire has even fit to curry favor with the Trump administration by giving me a huge sum of money. https://x.com/mattyglesias/status/1975375120123478491 Quote Corey Walker @CoreyWriting · 16h The vitriol against Bari Weiss is just thinly-veiled jealousy by people who rejoiced at "cancelling" her in 2020 and are furious she managed to get fabulously wealthy in an infamously brutal and low-paying industry.

I'm going to have a kid so I can be one of those Reddit parents who gets their kids into the music of my childhood and thus gets them bullied at school for liking hymns

@ukgov this is why I should be allowed to adopt

This. It's at the very least a conflict of interest. Is do I far as to say it could be grounds for disqualification from any form of gender care.

Robert Jenrick holds up a judges wig like a puppet during his speech to the Conservative Party Conference.

This Keith Harris tribute act at the Tory Party Conference looks a bit sh*t.

Bluesky's lack of a coms team does indeed give us some of these funny moments such as:

"You're aware that you are ostensibly speaking for the company with the current role you have and the subject matter you're wading into, right?

what?"

I regret to inform you all we must retire the word “fucking.”
So long fucking, you served us so, uh, damn well.
