Oh. This explains so much about Esther’s decision to go after social media instead of, you know, the actual transphobes that murdered her child.

Prime example of why there is no safe level of exposure to X propaganda, no matter how immune you think you are.

One day you're a highly intelligent, influential political leader. The next you're sharing content from an Infowars conspiracy theorist to your millions of followers.

Call your house rep and tell them to support HB 2540 which will increase the amount disabled people can save from $2k to $10k and remove the marriage penalty where you lose your only source of income if you get married regardless of how little they make. Switchboard: (202) 224-3121

In case you're unaware, in the US if you're disabled from birth the only monetary support you can receive is SSI. SSI has a $2k asset/savings limit before they dock your benefits, and marriage cancels all benefits. See below numbers: beyond poverty numbers w/ no allowed addition. Eugenics in action.

beyond it being really creepy to make our comic into a video against our wills, it really drives home the soullessness of AI when you see it put to work on something you poured your heart, soul and several years of your life into

I am very annoyed that people think 'rich' means 'that guy has a mercedes and takes a vacation to italy once a year' and not 'that guy has more money than 40% of the world combined and can decide to start or stop wars based on his personal prejudices'

the sums involved are incomprehensible

Amazon’s cloud unit has suffered at least two outages due to errors involving its own Al tools, leading some employees to raise doubts about the US tech giant’s push to roll out these coding assistants. Amazon Web Services experienced a 13-hour interruption to one system used by its customers in mid-December after engineers allowed its Kiro AI coding tool to make certain changes, according to four people familiar with the matter. The people said the agentic tool, which can take autonomous actions on behalf of users, determined that the best course of action was to “delete and recreate the environment”.

lol, AWS vibe coded itself an outage

Such a policy cannot stand under the Eighth Amendment. Courts have continuously struck down similar policies that place a blanket prohibition on certain kinds of medical care. In Fields v. Smith, 653 F.3d 550, 557-58 (7th Cir. 2011), the Seventh Circuit considered a Wisconsin state statute that prohibited the Wisconsin Department of Corrections from providing hormone therapy or sexual reassignment surgery to prisoners. The district court found the statute to be facially unconstitutional because “[t]he statute applies irrespective of an inmate’s serious medical need or the DOC’s clinical judgment.” Id. at 559 (citing Fields v. Smith, 712 F. Supp. 2d 830, 867 (E.D. Wisc. 2010)). In upholding the district court’s determination, the Circuit noted that “[j]ust as the legislature cannot outlaw all effective cancer treatments for prison inmates, it cannot outlaw the only effective treatment for a serious condition like [gender dysphoria.” Id. at 557. Other courts to consider similar blanket prohibitions on treatment for gender dysphoria have reached the same conclusions. See, e.g., De’lonta I, 330 F.3d at 635 (terminating hormone treatment based on blanket policy may amount to Eighth Amendment

I have no faith in the courts at this point but it's worth reading the statement of interest the DOJ under Obama submitted in Diamond v Owens (2015), in which they called HRT bans "facially unconstitutional." It helped paved the way for prisoner access nationally.

Disney+: You've used all your "I'm away" requests.

It's so incredibly cool you can no longer access media you pay for because you're in a different location. Bring back cable and VHS.

To all the people defending Mamdani's supposedly kinder, gentler encampment sweeps:

Taking away people's agency and destroying their belongings is violent, whether it's cops or social workers doing it.

*And* Mamdani himself said that cops will still be involved, as "observers."

This is an update I've received from ArcSys reps. While it is disappointing it happened to begin with, I can only hope that we can raise enough volume to have the GenAI removed.

This is barbaric. There is no world where people don't die because of this policy. That's one of the many, many reasons the courts ordered these policies be changed in the first place after decades of refusal. But that's the point of this change, isn't it?
