Newsom is definitely a replicant. Probably a Nexus 5.

I feel like the main point conservatives are offering to men these days — mainly young men, but it's across the board — is a promise that they never ever ever have to grow up

The six biggest banks in the U.S. have quit the Net Zero Banking Alliance just before Trump's inauguration.

The alliance was formed with the goal of cutting greenhouse gas emissions.

Let this serve as another reminder that so-called “corporate social responsibility” is a sham.

The Nightmare Box and Other Stories

In 1977, Houston cops murdered a military vet, José Campos Torres, and were found guilty and fined one dollar.

Police brutality against Latines is widely underreported; it’s why I tackle it in The Nightmare Box – a book where brutal cops don’t fare too well.

Sure, women are growing in representation among undergrads and grad students. But then there's this. Fig by Rissler et al 2020.

The research by social scientists has shown that this isn't a passive filter. It's caused by harassment, discrimination, and overt bias.

NYT screenshot: One day earlier, in a neighboring state, another couple making a politically motivated move had a different flag on display — a Pride flag on a T-shirt. Jennie and Jeff Noble were packing their possessions into a 26-foot U-Haul truck in suburban Iowa. Ms. Noble, 37, who was wearing the Pride T-shirt, and her husband were leaving Iowa for Minnesota. Their only child, Julien, came out as transgender at age 11. Now 16, Julien uses prescription testosterone. After Iowa banned gender-affirming medical care for minors, criminalizing their son’s treatments, the Nobles — lifelong Iowans — concluded they had to get out.

The Huckins family and the Noble family have not met, yet their journeys — from blue Oregon to red Missouri, and from red Iowa to blue Minnesota — mirror each other, unfolding only five weeks apart this spring. One family relocated because of a single issue — restrictions on transgender rights — while the other believed a broad swath of progressive policies had degraded their quality of life. But both families used strikingly similar language to describe their main concern: the need for personal safety.

*extremely* telling that the NYT frames a family leaving a state because their trans son literally could not get the medical care he needed as a "politically motivated move" and an abstract "issue" rather than one connected to their child's intrinsic humanity www.nytimes.com/2023/10/07/u...

Two Families Got Fed Up With Their States’ Politics. So They Moved Out. The Nobles of Iowa moved to blue Minnesota. The Huckinses of Oregon moved to red Missouri. Their separate journeys, five weeks apart, illustrate the fracturing of America.

Who's going to explain why false equivalence is bad to the NY Times? Their trans coverage has always been terrible, and here's another painful example. www.nytimes.com/2023/10/07/u...

I've sat through epic stories of troubleshooting that make no logical sense to the extent that I've questioned my fundamental understanding of things as well as what I'm reading in logs. (3/3)

How do other infosec women handle it when someone is just obviously full of nonsense about their experience? I'm so often questioned about knowledge--as if it's not hard won by decades--that I can't imagine making shit up.

I don’t even know the context, but this is the right answer.

It’s especially important to understand that “Asian American” is not a community — it’s a constructed identity that only exists *because* of white supremacy. So anything posed as representing that identity, including exploiting the model minority myth, is a lie from the start. We hate antiblackness.
