This is an excellent thread that further elucidates what I’ve been saying. Violence isn’t just a method; it’s the point.

This is a fascist, eliminationist project to eradicate trans people from public life. Full stop.

Any Dem - like Newsom - who doesn’t fully unequivocally support trans people at this moment, who doesn’t fight this tooth and fucking nail, needs to be pushed out of power asap. Reddest of lines.

A little pick-me-up: My normie neighbor in East Tennessee complimented the β€œabolish ICE” garden flag in my front yard.

a drawing of a hand holding a phone, on the phone is a smaller version of the man looking at his phone, on that screen, a smaller man looking at his phone, with text that reads "I got a home security system. It has a mobile app that lets me know when it detects people moving around inside or outside my house.
It sends me an alert every time i go outside.
There I am, looking suspicious. 
I watch myself on the security camera feed all day. I have to make sure I'm not doing anything wrong.
No false moves, buddy."

Crazy how every single man on the US men’s hockey team is a pathetic, degenerate loser.

And a little bit of it is just…people need places to waste time. We need places to mill around in for no particular reason, just to see other people. We’re all getting cooked looking at screens all day getting anxious and angry and the solution is being able to rent Season 9 of Family Guy for $3

Enough can’t be said about how β€œmachine-learning” simply reiterates the anti-blackness of tech bros and their ilk. And that includes the violence of disregard: β€œoh, we didn’t anticipate that as a possible problem.” That’s racist too.

Worth repeating: Claims of "AI" democratizing anything (coding, creative endeavors, etc) are always BS. The thing locking out people from doing that is not having the time/resources.

You want to democratize coding/art/creativity? Give people paid time off to do it and access to infrastructure. Easy

More than 75,000 Post readers cancelled their subscriptions after the recent cuts. An even larger number bailed after Bezos killed the endorsement of Harris, but now the decline feels terminal. Bezos does not want a great paper with a conservative opinion page (like the Wall Street Journal). He seemingly barely wants a paper at all, treating one of the most important American media institutions like an embarrassing child from a previous marriage that no longer fits his lifestyle.

This sounds unbelievable but its true: since Bezos acquired The Post, his wealth has grown tenfold and the Post has been cut in half.

Trump aides struggle with how to spend $500 billion more on military Some senior officials resisted the decision to approve the major military spending increase, people familiar with the matter say.

Reading this storyβ€”about how the Pentagon has been given so much extra money it's struggling to spend it allβ€”while thinking about the formerly homeless tenants I've spoken with in recent weeks whose housing vouchers are being discontinued for "lack of funds."

LoCITT-T - Long COVID Treatment Trial The Long COVID Treatment Trial-Tirzepatide (LoCITT-T) is investigating the efficacy of repurposing this drug to treat Long COVID.

Here's the link. The study is full, but they have a waitlist you can join to be informed of upcoming long covid studies. longcovid.scripps.edu/locitt-t/

I'm hoping that the results of this study (assuming they are good) will get the FDA to approve Zepbound for uses like this so that insurance covers it and more people can access it.

I'm in a big clinical trial studying the effects of Zepbound on long covid, and it is improving my brain fog and memory. I'm am more focused and lose my train of thought less. I'm doing much better at conversations.
