There’s no reason ever again for any Democrat to suggest moderating on trans rights. There was never a moral reason but now there’s no political reason either.

Somebody tell Gavin Newsom and Pete Buttigieg. it’s joe-ver.

The views of the average pro-Palestinian student broadly match what the academic literature says, what international courts say, what the relavant UN officials & orgs say and what the relevant NGOs say. It is views of Clinton and her peers in Western capitals which are largely divorced from reality.

I think Sudan might shoot up the news agenda somewhat if two US Presidents and two British PMs e.g. announced we were sending the RSF more machine guns and missiles to kill more civilians, then told the press everyone protesting against it was a traitor extremist and sent the cops to arrest them.

Mamdani going so hard for trans right and winning is some juicy proof that every dem that abandoned us didn’t do it for politically advantageous reasons. They did it because they’re transphobes and they will lose for it

A digital poster in the style of a World War II propaganda piece. Isolaed on a yellow background, a normal, squarish, 20-something guy with glasses is sitting working on a laptop. A ghostly figure of Hitler has his arm around the guy and is grinning and shaking a fist triumphantly looking at the laptop screen. On the lid of the laptop where an apple might otherwise be is an openAI logo, bright green, and dripping green ooze down the lid. Text on the poster, in combinations of sans-serif type and brush script reads: 
Using Generative AI?
You’re prompting with Hitler!
GenAI is a Fascist Project!
Try using your brain instead
Don’t surrender your creativity to the tech billionaire’s control

NHS Sussex are forcibly detransitioning trans people. These patients need full restoration of their healthcare, and everyone involved in doing this needs to be sacked.

The UAE where hugging in public can get you arrested, where human rights barely exist, where foreign workers are routinely abused, where critics of the regime routinely disappear, where an Indian nanny was shot by firing squad in March & where marital rape is not a criminal offence but being gay is.

Saw a news report yesterday about children as young as 9 being given weight loss jabs on the NHS, and I think it shows just how utterly bullshit the β€œlack of research into long term impacts” excuse for banning puberty blockers for trans kids really was. It’s purely ideological.

The news story that reveals Wes Streeting’s puberty-blocker ban to be nothing to do with β€œprotecting children” and everything to do with Wes Streeting and Keir Starmer being deeply transphobic bigots…

Interview transcript:

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without AI, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems, or saying...

SIMON: You mentioned that.

SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.

SIMON: I don't think AI can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.

SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from Scene 5 to Scene 6 and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an AI and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition.

SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

This David Simon interview about AI is my new favorite thing. It outlines how non creatives completely miss the goddamn point. β€œWouldn’t it be so cool if you could have it write things for you?” To them, there is no joy in creating art. It’s something you just get done ASAP and move on.

Starmer/Streeting’s policy of denying essential healthcare to trans kids is identical to the Trump administration’s denial of healthcare to trans kids.

If your policy is the same as Trump’s (and Putin’s) your policy is fascist.

Biden was already throwing Gazans under buses, and Harris showed no desire to stop. How would things be any different now? Biden failed to curb Netanyahu for over a year.
