Fix Your Hearts or Die It's a invitation, not a threat. The path to liberation for lonely men is feminism.

"A man free of patriarchy is a man who has found not only every woman's humanity, but one who has at last discovered his own. The actual path to liberation for lonely men is feminism—because pursuing an identity based on dominating others is self-isolating."

obviously I would also like to go several steps further than this but every once in a while I get this very specific mental image of slamming a door open and shouting "dude what the fuck is your PROBLEM??" at America

Trans Youth Suicides Skyrocketed In UK After Care Drawdown; Government Covers It Up A Freedom of Information request to the National Child Mortality Database reveals that 22 trans children under 18 died by suicide in England in 2021-22 alone.

In an alarming development, it appears the UK Government covered up a massive spike in trans youth suicides after restrictions.

Then covered it up again when caught.

Now, after fighting for years, the data is public: trans suicide increased 5x in the country.

Writers Who Use AI Are Not Real Writers Dorothy Parker famously (but probably not really) said, “I hate to write, but I love having written,” which is a sentiment I don’t largely understand or agree with in the broader …

Ottawa is subsidizing a tech firm that provides wiretapping tools to ICE - The Logic The $1-million contribution came after the U.S. agency showed up in force in Minneapolis

In December, the Canadian government gave $1 million to Ottawa's JSI Telecom to commercialize AI-driven data analytics.

JSI, a wiretaps and investigation support firm, had a banner year in U.S. government sales in 2025, including a big new contract with ICE.

Why isn't there a bigger Grok boycott? Advertisers, politicians, and investors are still all-in on X, despite a sexual abuse crisis.

I reached out to more than three dozen X advertisers, xAI investors, politicians, and government agencies about the growing library of sexualized deepfakes generated with Grok—now including Renee Good. I only heard back from four, with three declining to comment.

I used to think X had no public utility but it is developing into some sort of monument to billionaire hubris. It's a living museum of paranoiac mania, a Grey Gardens situation.

there are endless headlines about "grok apologizes" or "grok says it will be fixed" after it generated CSAM using pictures of minors and zero headlines about "grok being shut down" or "musk and xAI in big legal trouble" and I think something fundamental has broken here

Fritz Lang's Metropolis was set in the dystopian future of...*checks notes*...2026 and was centred around a worker uprising caused by a malicious AI and its mad creator.

The “ableist” accusation from gAI boosters pisses me off so much. You know what’s really ableist? Telling my students they can’t possibly engage with difficult (or any!) text without the help of gAI. They prey on students’ crises of conference in a way that is truly disgusting.

This was a fun story by a woman who at no time ever claimed to be doing journalism at all; she shared an article about a topic she found interesting on her account that is entirely little personal anecdotes. Your rant about this is an absolutely epic vibe check fail.

"Hiring the best people."

Huh. I wonder which Canadian billionaire it will turn out to be.

Green Fig which seems to me more like one of Shakespeare's Faeries than a GI Joe.

There was something bleak and dark in his tone. It was like watching the little girl in The Exorcist. It was like a crack opened and, just for a moment, we caught a glimpse of the abyss.

Billions and billions of dollars and all he wants is to be cool and he just...can't. Completely sauceless, down to his DNA.
