Once again, the NYT running cover for what happened at Brown University. IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT ATHLETES. READ THE DAMN SETTLEMENT!

"Much of what’s known as β€˜AI’ has nothing to do with progress β€” it’s about lobbyists pushing shoddy digital replacements for human labour that increase billionaire’s profits and make workers’ lives worse."

It took a week for even LGBTQ media to cover what happened here. A decade ago, bathroom bans inspired massive boycotts and cost a sitting governor his seat. Now, it's barely a whisper.

We're watching the Trump administration systematically purge trans people from public life and the fucking media just hand waives it away as being about sports. This is why the Dem capitulation on this is so dangerous. It obscures and legitimizes what is being done to us.

Brown University is β€˜functionally inaccessible’ to transgender students after Trump settlement β€œEveryone I talked to thought it only applied to sports. But it applies to everything," one transgender student told The Advocate.

The Trump administration effectively created a de facto bathroom ban at Brown University and none of the major media is covering it, and if they do, they character it as about sports. This is how the trans visa ban was enacted and characterized.

The Israeli military has murdered the entire Aljazeera Arabic team. They bombed their tent outside a hospital.

I am begging anti-LLM people to stop using inaccurate information, it weakens the case against AI to attack strawpersons rather than attacking the heart of the LLM argument.

Realtors Are Using AI Images of Homes They're Selling. Comparing Them to the Real Thing Will Make You Mad as Hell Realtors are starting to use AI-generated images of houses that don't exist to sell expensive properties, inciting anger.

The primary use case is fraud.

There are lots of things that we can say is perfect being the enemy of good! There are things we can wiggle on!

Allowing trans people to be cast out of society IS NOT ONE OF THOSE THINGS!!!

I am so fucking sick of this vile argument that fighting anti-trans hate is making perfect the enemy of good.

Forcing trans people out of society isn’t β€œgood”!! It’s fucking evil!

β€œOnce that is done” means β€œlet a bunch of people that I deem less important die in the meantime”. No! Fuck you!

Pete Buttigieg Doubles Down on Comments About the β€œFairness” of Trans People in Sports β€œI think in order to bring people together on this, we also have to take everyone seriously."

Yeah, I'm never voting for Buttigieg even if he's the nominee. This is a bright line for me. You cave on trans issues and lend credence to bigots, it's over. I'm not letting the Dems go down the path of Labour.

Please, can we stop doing prequels? Star Trek should be boldly going - not become a franchise about playing with our favorite scifi action figures & stories that have a destined predetermined outcome. Trek is about how the future is what we make it, not inevitable nor empty nostalgia.
