I become more and more convinced that the AI is just right wing class war and the lack of white collar worker organisation due having been flattered for years as geniuses and fed like farm geese has just led to a colossal lack of awareness of the class interests going on.

Nearly a year into many trans people in the UK being forced to use disabled toilets or asked to work from home pending legal advice and stuff and I haven't seen a single "Izzy's boss told her she has to use a disabled toilet, here's how she feels about it" piece in the papers.

Hate these days where the bare essentials - food, sleep, work, chores - take 100% of you, and you just have to accept that it's a day you aren't really living, and that all kinds of joyful things you could be doing or sharing in are going to pass you by. I hate how many of my days are like this

thanks to GenAI, you too can have that sinking "oh crap, it's Nazi shit/I should be better at vetting this" sensation that metal fans have been used to for years, only now about animal videos, furry art, and everything else in the goddamn world.

Do you think every writer's goal is to see a movie of their work because you fundamentally don't understand what would be lost in that translation and cannot comprehend what refining or enjoying prose is like?

I personally find the consistent approach by bigots to call every living transgender person an β€œactivist” to be fucking disgusting.

Cass on β€˜why a bit of hedonism is good for you’

I can’t bear to listen to hear what was actually said, but the thought of Cass applauding hedonism is laughable. She’d be the first person to use that word and concept as a slur against the trans community in pursuit of their desires.

I once ran a little experiment of sending job applications explicitly mentioning I'm trans for a month, then a month where I did not. Guess which month got me more interviews or offers, offers which mysteriously disappeared when they found out I was trans. How odd, right?

Star Trek Into Darkness (2013)
Watched by Branson Reese 28 Apr 2022

Abrams isn't a man so much as he's an avatar of cultural entropy. If you make something popular enough eventually you will die or sell it off and and a person in thick rimmed glasses whose main artistic vision is that he loves to have meetings will take it and sandblast it until it's nothing. I hate to see this happen here but maybe it's good that this happened. Maybe every franchise should collapse into a version of itself that makes shareholders nod and shake each others' hands. We should learn to speak in a language that rich people who don't dream can't comprehend.

Numerous accusations from critical media outlets claimed the clinic was a β€œtransing factory” that ignored β€œholistic” approaches to care and was recklessly prescribing puberty suppressant hormones, known as puberty blockers, to children.

One article from The Times, published in 2022, claimed that at least 1,000 families were planning mass legal action against the Tavistock gender clinic for rushing youngsters into taking puberty blockers.

However, a freedom of information (FOI) request to the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust, shared by Yorkshire Bylines, revealed that, between 2012 and 2022, only eight complaints over healthcare provisions had been lodged.

This entire 'debate' is so maddening. We have been promised that a groundswell of rushed, dissatisfied detransitioners was about to emerge for nearly a decade.

Not only have they never materialized, but academic research continues to show small numbers, long assessments and miniscule regret rates.

One of the purest examples of a moral panic in our time. A clinic that had years-long waitlists and required an average of 7 appointments before providing transition care smeared and shut down for being reckless.
