"We have the benefit of being fully independent of the university. We own our own press. We were more than willing, with our extra freedom being an independent student organization, to help out.”

To my fellow cishet dudes: when we are quiet about supporting the trans community, the only voices anyone hears are the Charlie Kirks of the world. Don't let accusations of being "performative" or "virtue signaling" shut you up - that's their whole point. Our voices are needed now more than ever.

We’re on a mission from Richard Garfield, Ph.D.

Search LibGen, the Pirated-Books Database That Meta Used to Train AI Millions of books and scientific papers are captured in the collection’s current iteration.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.

OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

If any cis people wanna beat the Closet Transphobe allegations, it's surprisingly cheap:

The way the Indiana Convention Center is set up, you can get a lot of places without having to go outside. There will be times where it will be quicker to go out onto the streets, but if you have the time, the hallways and tunnels can take you pretty much anywhere in the nearby area in comfort.

i need cis alíes to understand that things are so much worse and more scrutinized than they were in 2016 or 2014 or 2009 or whenever you fucking thought you were radical for your stance on trans rights.

the state. is trying. to. kill. us.
fuck your nuance for trans sports and just be normal

Attaway Bubba! #Brickyard400

It is so, so important to learn to understand the difference between A Gross Thing That Freaks Me Out, versus A Thing Which Causes Actual Harm In The World

because as long as you can't navigate the difference, your disgust is a lever that can be used to manipulate you

It's taken me a long time to really internalize this, but I think what Brennan is talking about here is something that Sheldon talked about a lot with respect to Commander, and most people don't understand it in the context of Magic.

RIP to Alex the Great, the Flemish Giant therapy rabbit often seen at Giants games. Always such a lovable and calming sight when he was there.

Do we still need stories about an aspirational immigrant who's so devoted to his adopted country that he regularly puts himself in danger to help even those who fear and distrust him, and who's primary antagonist is an egotistical tech billionaire?

Yes, fucking obviously. You numpties.

Golf shop cat has it all figured out.

Man standing up at meeting meme.

“We should be unqualifiedly saddened by the deaths of all children.”

“Independence day is canceled because of fear of secret police raids” is really a level of on the nose political symbolism you just can’t make up.

For the love of all that is holy, drop any and all engagement with that dang wizard IP if you haven't already.
