Every time I need a boost of seratonin I think about the Jane Schoenbrun adaptation of Charles Burn's comic Black Hole we might be getting. Keeps me going.

I keep seeing posts about ai models like "actually they're good at this thing now!"

but once you understand that ai tools are being built by fascists in service of attacks on humanity, whether or not they can generate useable code or do basic searches kind of stops being the main question

Happening now in Chicago's federal plaza:

A rally is underway in solidarity with trans people in Kansas whose drivers' licenses were suddenly invalidated last week, due to the enactment of a new state law that requires a person's gender on their license to match their assigned sex at birth.

Anger, Aggression, and Irritability in Transgender and Gender Diverse Youth Following Testosterone Initiation: A 12-Month Longitudinal Analysis To examine anger, irritability, and aggression in transgender and gender diverse adolescents and young adults (AYAs) initiating testosterone treatment over 12 months.

New study showing that there is no significant increase in anger or aggression in trans people who have been on T for a year.

With most either remaining at the same normal levels of anger or even going from higher-than-normal to normal levels over the year.

Seeing AI-ists on social media larping, β€œI gave all of my money to Claude Code this weekend. I’m joining the resistance to the war on Iran!” is really a new kind of performative virtue signaling.

Transgender Chicago man hospitalized after saving baby from drowning in Lake Michigan β€œI wasn’t going to let that baby die,” Lio Cundiff said.

This 30-year-old transgender man, who can’t swim, jumped into Lake Michigan after a wind gust blew a baby in a stroller into the freezing water.

He’s being called a hero. But now he has medical expenses, and people are donating to a fundraiser to support him.

This is why people are so upset when people say Democrats need to stop focusing on trans issues because it's too woke and people aren't ready for it: we're not talking minor inconvenience here. We're not talking microaggressions

We're talking: they are stripping IDs from trans people

ID verification laws provide no safety or protection to anyone

they are tools to allow the state to force you into either conforming to conservative values or disappearing from public view entirely

they serve no other purpose
safety is a lie

I love audiovisual hypertext!! I love interactive media!! I visual novels!! I love to click and read!

I want more games that try to wow me with prose, allowing every other element be secondary

more video games should be books and more books should be video games! STORY IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING!! let the graphics and controls be shit. why am I here if not to see things how they've never been seen before? this is my manifesto

I'm reactivating just to boost this.

Misty is a dear friend and the rare engineer who is not just spectacularly talented but a gifted communicator. We worked together on the same team at Archive for a year and I will miss working with her dearly. Hire her and pay her a ton of money!!
