If you ever wanted to know why AI companies are trying to sell you so badly on the idea of funding their tech, there's actually an answer for that.

They're not Tech Companies. They're Multi-Level Marketing firms.

The computer equivalent of Neutralife.

Harper to the judge: "Your driver's license doesn't list your height and weight at birth. It doesn't list where you used to live. It identifies who you are now."

IF Gavin Newsom is on a ballot

THEN me and many others will refuse to vote for him

THEREFORE instead of bitching at me and others like me

YOU should take the *years* you have and make sure that doesn't happen if you actually fucking care

BECAUSE my position is immutable

Celebrate what you can, when you can, no matter how long it took you to get there. We're all on our own journeys with whatever the world sent our way.

Someone read an early draft, and told me they couldn't continue because the dog was dropped.

It wasn't hurt, it wasn't killed. It wasn't even his dog. But when the MC had world catastrophic problems he wasn't focusing on his roommate's dog.

Why do these fuckers want to War!
Why do they hate trans! And all Queer people.
Why do they want to snuff people of color?
And stomp out the disabled?
The poor?
And on and on.

Just every fucking -othering?

I'm so sick of the cruelty perpetrated in this world.

When someone says β€žScientists do not want you to knowβ€œ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

Oh and just remember - once you’ve decided a minority’s human rights are up for debate, you’ve decided HUMAN RIGHTS ARE UP FOR DEBATE.

To everybody who framed all of this as β€œThe Trans Debate,” well done! You’ve opened the door to The Anybody Debate.

White House stalls release of approved US science budgets The US Congress rejected sweeping cuts to science agencies. But the NIH, the NSF and NASA have had their spending slowed.

Congress rejected massive cuts to US science budgets for 2026, but much of the money still isn’t flowing to researchers.

The culprit? The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is quietly slow-walking the release of funds. πŸ§΅πŸ‘‡

A white woman who is not a doctor & doesn’t believe in science is currently undergoing Senate confirmation hearings to be the US Surgeon General.

Black people, don’t EVER let these people tell you that you are a β€œdiversity hire” or don’t deserve the roles you have so richly prepared for & earned.
