I'm not deaf but use subtitles because of audio processing issues and automatically generated captions are often so bad that it makes it *harder* for me to follow what is being said.
Yes! Yes! Yes!
Like nobody's perfect, but also we all have a responsibility to at least try not to spread misinformation and needless panic.
Blasting out every nothing petition and doomed bill in state level legislature isn't keeping tran people informed, it's scaring us. And fear is paralysing.
Seeing multiple people quoting this saying that the article in question triggered a panic attack. And that right there is a key harm of sensationalist reporting on vulnerable, marginalised communities.
just a heads up, that article going around about the FDA and a 'registry of trans women' comes from The Needle 'News', who have a track record of sensationalist and inflammatory reporting, take anything they say with a grain of salt until someone else backs it up
I actually don't care how or if young people in the US voted two years ago tbh, I just think it sucks that so many people are using this bullshit to try to discredit a movement against an ongoing genocide.
The campus protests weren't about Kamala Harris or Joe Biden, they were about Gaza. They were demanding their institutions divest from genocide.
It seriously irritates me the extent to which so many US libs are only able to see the genocide in Gaza through the lens of an election that happened a year and a half ago.
Which is wholly irrelevant to what I'm saying, but thank you for coming along to repeat the standard liberal line.
wait. wait. everyone hold on. i've solved it
Off brand, I know, but I can't be all bitter cynicism all the time.
Angry about the hurt, which should never have happened, but also just amazed by people who remain loving and compassionate despite it.
Thinking this morning about how many trans women I know who have been hurt over and over again by people who claim to love them and remain some of the sweetest, kindest people you could ever hope to meet and feeling all soppy about it.
P.s. the campus protests were a global fucking movement you buffoons. They didn't just happen in the US.
This ridiculous myth some liberals have convinced themselves of where pro-Palestine protesters were secret double agents trying to get Donald Trump elected leaves a bunch of additional questions, like why stuff like this happened.

This is correct, imo. A Democratic administration successfully broke students' will to protest. They won nothing and faced massive consequences. NO ONE stood up for their free speech rights among mainstream pundits.
Now they're to blame for the Biden administration's success at repressing them? No.
Despite this high level of repression making campus protests rarer, some students did, in fact, bravely continue well into mid-2025.

Hmm, what happened to the campus protests? Guess they all just voluntarily went home.

Can only assume she just walked around all night waiting for somebody to recognise her and have her thrown out only to eventually realise she's not that famous.
Like I wouldn't blame anybody for using automated translation tools if given no alternative, obviously, but they actually suck at it and pretending they don't does actual, document harm.
Can LLMs translate simple texts well? No, no they cannot, and reliance on them over human translators does refugees serious harm.

It's a shame about Dean Cain. Just in general.
Lex Luthor and his magnificent head of hair just held a sword to Clark's throat and gave a villain speech about Alexander the Great. Flawless, no notes.
I haven't watched it since it was being broadcast on ITV and only have vague memories, but yeah, I'm not expecting good politics.
*Lois and Clark even
I am a trashavore.
Highlights of the pilot so far
* Superman casually set a bulldozer on fire to save a historic theatre from being demolished for a car park
* Clark saw Lois in a nice dress and briefly involuntarily levitated
* Lois is far too busy being a girlboss investigative reporter to deal with Clark's nonsense
Clark and Lois: The New Adventures of Superman was peak television, my mind cannot be changed.
Honestly the failure of the press and annoying online libs to connect the Greens' trans policy with Polanski's big tits hypno skills is so disappointing. I demand enemies who are better at poasting.
