  • Cory Doctorow: The people who tell you ‘AI is changing everything’ are lying

  • Good luck when they stop subsidizing the tokens 👍

    I also can’t imagine bragging about being so busy doing work for the hope of a raise that I didn’t have time to pursue things I felt strongly about. Recenter your priorities.

  • Lindsey Graham Was Allegedly This Trans Sex Worker’s Client. Now, She’s Speaking Out

  • Lmao. Whatever makes you feel better. Would like to know how calling someone a traitor doesn’t involve throwing them under the bus, how criticizing you for making shit up is MAGA, or why you need to tag someone you blocked, but I guess someone else will have to do it.

  • Permanently Deleted

  • For more information, see After I Was Thrown in the River and Before I Drowned by Dave Eggers.

  • One Standard Yglesias

  • You can always count on Matty to not just be wrong, but to go out of his way to find the worst way to be wrong.

  • Lindsey Graham Was Allegedly This Trans Sex Worker’s Client. Now, She’s Speaking Out

  • She was a college student doing sex work, he wasn’t introduced to her by name and title. She says she didn’t recognize him until later and I have no reason to disbelieve her.

    Plus, if you bother to read the article, she has been trying to speak out about this for over a decade.

    Because this is not the first time I’ve actually talked about this. I’ve talked about this at least five or six times over the last 11 years. And every other time that I have tried to bring it up, I’ve either been silenced, shut down or no one really takes it seriously and they just think I’m lying or I’m making something up. But now that the late senator has passed away, it’s like now everyone cares.

    Being that ready to throw a trans woman under the bus based on a bunch of shit you imagined isn’t a great look.

  • Cory Doctorow: The people who tell you ‘AI is changing everything’ are lying

  • Stepping up and doing it better is free.

  • By 60-Point Margin, Missouri Voters Reject GOP Push to Make Ballot Measures Harder to Pass

  • Goddamn, an 80/20 split is pretty big. I'm sure there have been bigger, but I can't imagine that many.

  • New study deflates right-wing claim that many trans teens later regret gender-affirming care

  • Right wingers don't and will never care, they'll just keep claiming it while misrepresenting other studies (something they already do). It's good to have this data for people who aren't dyed in the wool bigots and just get taken in by a few false claims, but the data has been coming it for at least a decade at this point that blockers and/or HRT are appropriate for trans teens, the same way going through puberty is normal for cis teens.

  • Thank yuo jeff benzos 🥺🥺🙏 winter was hard

  • Funnily enough this happened in NYC, which is probably the closest we have to a walkable city!

  • A win for privacy

  • No shot

  • What's with the weirdly large rolled up flag on top of the building? Or is it something that's been painted?

  • ODD should be renamed FYIWDWYTM-D

  • For anyone having trouble decoding it: ‘oppositional defiant disorder should be renamed fuck you I won’t do what you tell me disorder ‘

  • Thank yuo jeff benzos 🥺🥺🙏 winter was hard

  • A friend of mine worked as a bike courier and constantly had to deal with drivers trying to run him off the road. He eventually got hit, and broke his leg. It all sounded pretty miserable, but this was also before e-bikes so maybe it’s easier now.

  • When do we riot?

  • It’s okay to say you find working outdoors difficult, you don’t have to have a public doom spiral.

  • Europe's largest glacier, the Aletsch, is melting about 50 meters (164 feet) a year. This is what was left on July 28 this year.

  • I bet the archaeology up there is gonna be nuts, though. Gotta look on the bright side of the F5 tornado.

  • When do we riot?

  • I heavily disagree with this sentiment. Go work with your local conservation groups if you feel hopeless about the environment, God knows they need the help. You’ll be doing something useful and see that recovery and adaptation is possible. Endangered species can rebound, damaged ecosystems can recover, and societal views about our obligations to each other and the planet can change.

  • Musk is upset poor people can buy food

  • Former trillionaire. He's 'only' about three quarters of the way there now.

  • Landmark Legislation Could Let Americans Sue Trump Family Over Corruption and Claim Massive Cash Rewards

  • Making people see that Republicans don't want this is as much a strategy as trying to pass the bill itself. 'Only try to pass legislation if you know it will pass' is why Senate Democrats are weak babies who are more concerned with getting along with their Republican colleagues than playing the game.
