“It drives me insane,” she said. “Cis people, whether they’re gay or not, are going about their lives like it’s not that big of a deal–like it’s just another political issue, when people are going to die from this…”

Years and years of "what is a woman" discourse only to settle on a definition that includes 15-year-olds.

For years, we were told the biggest threat to free speech were college students being upset by professors or fellow students making insensitive or bigoted comments. Now that states are banning entire concepts from curriculum, it's crickets.

One reason among many, yes. If you interrogate who they should or shouldn't think should be having kids, it gets very bad very fast.

...also I discuss the “activists gone too far” trope that Singal seems to invoke around 17:40 into this video: youtu.be/xiU-G0mTYVY – essentially, marked groups (in this case, trans ppl) are routinely viewed as "inviting" or "provoking" any backlash that they receive

The more I think about the 70,000 ICE incarcerated without due process the more I think we are underreacting. People are literally trapped inside for profit prisons. We need to do something.

I wrote about how US media is laundering authoritarian anti-gender politics through a frame of viewing restrictions on trans people as being led by progressive European countries rather than the reality that it is illiberal autocratic states.

I had to update my standard retainer agreement to include that I'm trans, and that my transness may impact case outcomes, and my clients agree to accept that risk by hiring me, in case you're wondering what it's like being trans these days.

Reportedly the Cardinal merely responded in Latin, "Si Deus." The US official looked at him puzzled and said, "Si Deus what?" The Cardinal replied, "Si Deus Nutus."

The public is “tricked,” sure—by decades-long brainwashing that starts in childhood and teaches them not to care for anyone but themselves, and indeed hate anyone who’s too different from them.

US Americans, if you have any red lines you pride yourself on not crossing, are they *further* away than this?

Either way, own your stance and whatever that stance says about you.

I firmly believe that we are in an overblown moral panic over AI and data centers and that much of the left is making themselves useful idiots by letting themselves be distracted from freeway expansions, defunding of transit/climate science, and attacks on renewable energy

Come yell at me

when the thing you are modelling is the probability of an event, you absolutely *must* use a model that maps R->[0,1] if you want your model parameter to mean anything in the world that exists outside your data set

FIRE was always a right wing project funded by right wing dark money. They've made grievances about trans people central to their entire project. They supported a constitutional right to bully trans children. bsky.app/profile/walkerbragman.bsky.social/post/3mavoxys24s2g

Ever single gentile needs to read each and every one of these.

A Jewish woman on Instagram made a post about how matzo is made and why we eat it on Passover.

Every reply was violent, vile, and hateful.

I need you to understand how even the most innocuous part of Jewish existence is reviled.

Particularly alarming that this includes Lebanon & Gaza. I had just shared imagery from March 18 showing the demolition of villages along the southern border of Lebanon by the IDF and now not even that imagery is available: bsky.app/profile/godin.bsky.social/post/3mihg5tm4dc2h

Mass demolitions haven't stopped in Gaza, either.

I will never think of Elon Musk as anything other than a mass murderer for the USAID cuts. I’ve long felt he’s one of the most villainous people alive today, the real-life equivalent of a comically annoying and cruel supervillain

All I know about Elon Musk being a Nazi that has killed almost a million people in Africa in just over a year is that that still hasn’t been enough for people who call themselves my allies to get rid of their Teslas.

I am totally here to support a US pope who in no uncertain terms condemns the Trump Admin and fake, blasphemous “Christianity” of Vance, Hegseth, and others. Everyone knows who he is referring to here.
