I kinda think the way people use ChatGPT is sort of aspirational because it seems to emulate the way rich people have sycophants lying to them all the time until they lose touch with reality and also their entire minds

Accidental advice on escaping the gender binary

Celebrating #Pride with the #VALORANT community

If you are going to Riptide and you are cis, you better be looking out for your trans teammates and friends especially anywhere outside of the venue. If you are trans, please check in with your friends and don't be afraid to rely on them in numbers.

NINTENDO JUST ANNOUNCED A SPLATOON NA LEAGUE??? HELLO???

as much as this is redditors being terminally online you must remember that the posters are also probably just as terminally online and moreso want validation

nuclear option sought, nuclear option offered and whatnot

“I asked ChatGPT-“ okay well I asked little alex horne and he said all the information is on the task

Someone on Twitter writes: "Derek would you ever consider doing a thread on how transmascs can dress well and have clothing that helps hides hips and stuff? Only advice I've gotten are straight leg jeans and a boxy shirt"

I get this question a lot. I don't have strong views on how transmasc people should dress, but since I often get the question, I've thought about it a bit. Will share some thoughts in this thread. 🧵

thinking back fondly of when i thought getting into the antechamber on day 2 meant i was doing really well at blue prince before turning my attention back towards what i can only describe as eldritch madness i accidentally inflicted myself with by getting too far ahead of things

game of the year

If you haven't noticed yet, @magnumobs.bsky.social @akamask.bsky.social and I started a new project for #VCTCN - we built an english community stream with casters and translations of the main stream.

Within days, a big surge on VCTCN watchers. It just shows how important to have an english stream!

doubling back on this i think it's actually addressing an entirely different thing so nvm, there still might be space for that but it's more in the context of team comps and playstyles than individual strengths

ik comp valorant steals the aggro/midrange/control system from tcgs to help further categorize their agents, wondering if there's a way to adapt that style of system to help with categorization? but then again based on what you're saying rn that might just swap one vague system for another

from @electricfutures After several delays, @DOGE has finally posted its purported savings. Why did it take so long to create a simple webpage with a 1000-row table? Who knows! Let's dig in. Headline number: $55B saved. They list the savings per nixed contract. This should be easy to verify then. It's Monday. @DOGE is the laziest, most overpaid bunch of incompetent, unelected bureaucrats we've ever seen. The first thing I did is add up the "saved" column for all canceled contracts and real estate. The numbers are $16.5B and $O.14B, respectively. Odd... Since almost all of the purported savings come from contracts, we'll focus on that.

The single biggest ticket item is a DHS contract listed as saving $8 billion. Wow, that's a huge contract! Actually no, it's $8 million. They must have tried to automate scraping the FPDS form and failed. That means we're down to $8.5B in savings. 3/ The next 3 biggest ticket items are all USAID contracts listed as $655M each, so $2B total. Wow, pretty big. Wait, these are IDVs, not contracts. $655M is the entire set-aside, being triple counted. In the first 5 years, only $73M was awarded, and only 2 years remain. 4/

So we're down to $6.5B in savings, and an alarming trend emerges: @DOGE does not seem to understand how the government contracts they are canceling work. The savings they are claiming are not annual savings, but rather hypothetical savings if we spent every unobligated penny. 5/ And more importantly, they are just getting it *wrong*, with alarming consistency. These numbers are erroneous. This "select group of geniuses" has not double checked even the LARGEST items accounting for the bulk of their claimed savings. This is a sad, pathetic farce Here's the next biggest item: an IT services contract for the Social Security Administration worth $1B. That's a lot of savings! Well, again, this contract spanned 6 years. 80% has already been spent. Ah well, more like $240M in savings spread over the next 3 years. $80M/year.

In 2023, this contract funded 1000 FTEs working $100/hr. Did we need 1000 SWEs working on SSA infrastructure? Probably not - these could be valid savings (disclaimer: no idea what they actually did). But worth noting that these cuts will impact many private sector jobs as well. And if anyone is curious, there are currently 17 lines that say "SEE FPDS" rather than the savings amount, I guess because their automated scraping failed. I did it manually and it took roughly ~10 minutes. But that's too much to ask of super geniuses working 120 hours/week!

hello cis friends
this is what people mean by trans genocide

if a type of person does not officially exist, then any harm against them cannot be measured or reported

this headline change isn't even being caused by an executive order

it's simply the NYT editors deciding we don't deserve to exist

A friend from the VA just sent this and asked me to share. PMDB is Prevention and Management of Disruptive Behavior in the workplace. THIS is the real war against women: being forced to say there are only 2 genders but not being allowed to mention 96% of violence is perpetrated by men.

The Associated Press issued this statement on Tuesday from Executive Editor Julie Pace: As a global news organization, The Associated Press informs billions of people around the world every day with factual, nonpartisan journalism. Today we were informed by the White House that if AP did not align its editorial standards with President Donald Trump’s executive order renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America, AP would be barred from accessing an event in the Oval Office. This afternoon AP’s reporter was blocked from attending an executive order signing. It is alarming that the Trump administration would punish AP for its independent journalism. Limiting our access to the Oval Office based on the content of AP’s speech not only severely impedes the public’s access to independent news, it plainly violates the First Amendment.

jourdain searles @judysquirrels I'll vote for whoever will come at the republicans like kendrick went for drake. i'm not joking either. give me that energy or shut up. don't email me. don't text me. don't ask me for anything.

This is it. This is the take.

Hey y'all: a friend has been dealing with sudden health complications for a while now, and with the federal funding freeze his access to his medication (which has already been too expensive for him) has been cut off. If you can, please send him whatever you're able to!

Ending Radical Indoctrination in K-12 Schooling – The White House By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered: Section 1.  Purpose and

1. Breaking News: Donald Trump has signed an executive order targeting trans youth and teachers in schools who teach for them.

It goes after "social transition" and threatens arrests.

I will go through line by line, as I have the last 3 nights.

Find the EO here:
www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

7. The rest of the EO is the implementation of a "1776 curriculum" to promote "patriotic education."

That is all for my read of this executive order.

It will depend on teachers, school systems complying in advance - this is perhaps his most blatantly illegal EO of the anti-trans ones. Don't do it.

I try not to get political here, as I don't want to fly too far outside of my esports bubble. But there are a lot of truly awful things happening in the U.S. right now that are directly impacting both me, and my community.

All I'm going to say is please never stop being vocal...

if you're cis I better fucking see you using your privilege to stick up for your trans homies.

being an ally means helping them find safe employment, safe housing, food security, hrt, get documents changed, etc. while their own existence is being attacked.

Here goes nothin'. Please 🔄!
