god the ux of this website has improved so much... now all i gotta do is remember to use it lmao

The underlying problem with having a "nuanced opinion on trans athletes" is that the status quo was already the nuanced view (typically a certain period on hormones, usually years post transition, decided on a sport by sport basis BY their awarding bodies), critics don't actually want that.

anyway here's the email I sent to jim bankoff last week. i'm still heartbroken. I have been insanely, destructively angry for weeks, and I think I will be for a long time.

I like push notifications a lot for replies and dms so I keep it like this. I only care about when people are saying things to me and there's currently no way to filter for that here

With the Oblivion remaster taking up the hype cycle, it's probably a good time to re-up that the Palestinian-led BDS movement has asked for a boycott of Microsoft's gaming products due to the company's ongoing and enthusiastic technical support for the IDF's ongoing genocide in Gaza.

Youtubers will go like "what if there was a video game that wanted to torture you personally in real life and make you suffer" and then cover some obtuse indie roguelike with tricky mechanics rather than the obvious candidate, league of legends

3.5 star letterboxd review of novocaine by lisa p: what if crank (2006) but for the marvel generation

three star letterboxd of novocaine by maia arson crimew: this is like if crank (2006) had better writing and was shot worse

the crank remake nobody asked for

if there's a big issue with algorithms it's one of literacy. people don't really understand how they're interacting with things, and how that encourages these nebulous systems that are purposefully kept away from scrutiny. the facebook gen Xers here are a great example of that lacking literacy

I think we need to admit most people like algorithms. tiktok hit the masses like a truck because it had a stunningly good algorithm, and, if I'm being honest, twitter's algorithm (AND NOTIFICATION FILTERING) are what keep me there. I've gotten very used to the process of curating an algorithmic feed

this app makes me think about UX a lot. its biggest supporters seem to be mostly people with big followings, because the algorithm allows them to have a more closed less hostile community, and most of the criticisms I've heard are from regular people who find the browsing experience to be suboptimal

any time i see the name "sam altman" it takes me a full minute to realize he's not a death stranding character

haha é normal, 80% do pessoal que me segue só fala inglês

estás correto mas o timing é caricato

apenas repetindo o que a maia consegue apurar, não me perguntem nada

fascinante que assim que o seu mandato começou, luís montenegro deixou de usar o telegram e aparentemente mudou-se para o signal. nada de muito concreto mas certamente interessante

Miguel Arruda, despite being an independent, expressed confidence that he could form the next government. "I have it in the bag", he's quoted as saying

sweetie you deserve better

diet soda is mania imposed on us by the tyranny of diet culture. put the sugar back in my drink, if I wanted to drink something healthy I'd pick something other than brown chemical sludge

(also yes ik voice training is a process which you have to willingly undergo but the way people use "a trans woman with no voice training" usually means "a girl who sounds like a guy", especially when used derogatorily. there is no such thing in our world)

you may not notice it, you may not hear it without an A/B comparison, but your voice has changed due to your process of self-discovery and transition. everyone's voice changes as they change, no matter who they were and are

the concept of a "trans woman who hasn't done any voice training" is an illusion concocted by a bioessentialist mindset which completely ignores the decades upon decades of studies on how much your social status influences the way you speak and how you sound

never heard of that before, seems cool as hell

hehe thank you! i like it a lot

the scorcese absolute cinema pose has unironically become my go-to way to signal appreciation for a work of art

this shit got my mind spinning. holy fuck i can't believe this exists

i really really really really cannot overstate how fucking good this movie is. it is simply a work of art without any equals. it's the result of years of rigorous formalist study of the music video as a genre and it carries itself with the confidence required to pull it off
