Trans man. Left to my own devices I'd be making mead and playing with my friends and chosen family in the woods. Choosing kindness as my strength. Pet cats, lift heavy, laugh in the teeth of despair.
Can this be a solution?
i feel like if i was tasked with not starting a war and bringing back US manufacturing jobs, i could have done a better job than this

WIRED named the DOGE operative accused here of planning to take Social Security data to his new job. It's John Solly, and he works for the government contractor Leidos, a company that has millions in contracts with SSA.

details! a spectral hound of UK graveyards. Sometimes a warning, sometimes a guardian. I included little details like ancient standing stones, as there are ancient sacred sites where churches were later built, so you get a mix of different eras.
The Trump administration could really restore confidence by getting the entire Cabinet to ride a tanker through the Straits of Hormuz to show everyone how safe and easy it is now.
They could bring along a lot of MAGA influencers and Fox News hosts to broadcast it all live!
Good morning
She doesn't want "transgression", she wants a safe space to be mean without any consequence.
These people want edgy shit that they can step away from at any moment, and they don't realize that it's gonna follow them home.
Kyra and her crew did it!! Everyone who stood up and told Buzzfeed no did it! This proves we have collective power and need to stand up to AI in art and animation whenever possible.
The Lemkin Institute has issued a *THIRD* trans genocide warning, noting the next stage is widespread containment - and this was before the 4th Circuit ruled today that states can essentially do whatever they want to make trans people "appreciate their sex".

Re supposed end of the Target boycott: it’s 100% bullshit. See statement below from an *actual* leader of the initial DEI boycott.
Even if true (to repeat, it’s not!), it’s not up to any small group. Target has fixed nothing + compounded its DEI sins with ICE complicity. People are done with it!
Nature vs nurture is a myth.
Nurture the nature within.
Encourage children to grow antlers and a coat of moss.
Teach them of the old gods of thorns & fog.
Set them free in the old forest to become the monster they were meant to be.
100% this, the main argument against queer/trans people is that we're "sexual deviants", whatever that means...so why tf would they think that *they're* safe?
I love that Trump's toadies are wearing comically large shoes because the boss bought them and they're too chickenshit to mention that he guessed the wrong size.
I cannot imagine anything sadder than going to write a post on LinkedIn and then clicking the “rewrite with AI” button. If you aren’t confident you can meet the baseline tone of LinkedIn? I dont know, man.

Oh hey that thing we were all afraid of happening. Well it fucking happened. If you haven’t already locked down your credit/identity, you should fucking do it now. I’ll put the thread I wrote on how to do that (ish, there are Reddit boards with a million more steps you can take) in the comments. 🤬🤬🤬
Soon enough, the clown event began occurring every 33 minutes
Scoop: DHS ousted multiple privacy officers at CBP after they questioned orders to purposely mislabel records about government surveillance to prevent their release under FOIA.
Good words of warning here. AI models are generally designed to read and incorporate (and, in a sense, believe) virtually everything they find online, with very few guardrails. The information can get divorced from its original source, context, & rebuttals or retractions. That's a really big problem

For those wanting to know more about Iran and voices from inside the country (rather than the fash-y monarchists outside), Naghmeh Sohrabi has been translating pieces from folks inside on her blog:

"Brian Niccol of Starbucks took home the award for the most nonsensical disparity between CEO and employee income: He earns $95,801,676, while the median salary for a Starbucks employee was a mere $14,674."
Remind us again why Starbucks supposedly can't afford to treat their workers better?
This is amazing.
When the government kills a crucial report, independent scientists decide to write it anyway and release it outside of government channels.
That’s science serving society, even when our political leaders don’t.
ECCC was fun and I had a wonderful time.
But there was a storm cloud. When I complained about Trump with my white straight cis friends, we were all sincere and concerned.
But I talked with many Trans friends, and it’s so much worse. They are in fear for their lives.

The so-called secretary of war was not on a call between Trump and Putin in which they discussed war?
There are a lot of scientific illustrators and graphic designers who are building their portfolios and will take on work for less than you might imagine. It's not out of reach.
If your vote didn’t matter he wouldn’t be fighting so hard to pass this SAVE act.
