Cis people, you must HAVE TRANS PEOPLE'S BACK, get resources to help them (money, jobs, shelter, support, contacts), and stand up to transphobic attacks. Doctors, lawyers, people with technical skills, etc. learn about trans people's predicaments and help.

it’s about to get very, very hard to be transgender in the united states. likely harder than it’s been in american history. do not let them scare you into backing down. do not give into transphobes framing. stand up to them however you can. it shouldn’t be this way but we have to fight

A single Nvidia 8x B200 rack, with no power, cooling, housing or radiation shielding weighs 142 kg, which would cost $480k for lift using the Falcon 9 (the most efficient craft with only marginal improvements even possible), which is about the price of the entire rack ($500k)

this is so dumb

So there were some AI-generated videos that purported to show Black women ranting about SNAP benefits, and... Fox News is reporting on this like these are real people. They're not! They're AI!

This is truly insane. Total unreality. www.foxnews.com/media/snap-b...

If you just banked that coffee money every week and denied yourself every other instance of life’s gastronomic pleasures, however small and ordinary, you could save enough to make the down payment on that starter house in [checks notes] five hundred and seventy three years

“At the same time, more than half of Gen Z members say they are struggling to make ends meet, yet a majority buy themselves a small treat, such as a pastry, coffee, or sweet, at least once a week. That can lead to overspending…”

Big hat 💜

[ #cuteart #traditionalart #sketchbook ]
A doodle in a sketchbook of a cute, stylized, tiny black crow wearing a huge purple witch hat. A few stars and trinkets hang from the her on strings. There is a coral-colored circle behind them with doodles of stars in it. The illustration uses a limited palette and has some texture to it.

Now I want a potato ❤️
thoughtrise.bsky.social .chantal//RYAN @thoughtrise.bsky.social · 17h
thinking about potato house this halloween
a post showing a bowl of candy with a single potato in the center with the text: Tonight kids chose potato more than 25 times, each time triumphantly proclaiming to friends and family, "I GOT A POTATO!" One kid shouted, "A potato, just like last year!" and another group said, "Oh, youre the potato house? You're legends!" This has become an unexpected and joyful tradition. Kids are given the free choice and over and over again they choose Potato. My friends, every day you are given a choice. I encourage you: choose potato

A halloween cartoon for @newscientist.com
Image: three figures in protective suits watch from behind a screen as a child approaches a door-like mechanical structure in which stands a man. Between them is an amorphous glowing shape. Caption: Scientists at the institute of halloween studies have succeeded in creating "The treak": a quantum state that is simultaneously trick and treat. It is stable for a millionth of a second before decaying into a half-hearted prank and a mediocre candy bar.

“What do you mean, the proposed rules would create a third sex, something we explicitly agreed not to do under human rights laws? What do you mean, implementing these rules would cost businesses huge amounts of money and open them up to legal action? Shit. Uh... Lengthy impact assessment, anyone?”

Here's the question.

The EHRC has briefed that the draft statutory guidance is basically the same as the Interim Guidance. So why, if the draft statutory guidance gets the law right, did the EHRC choose to take down the Interim Guidance in the face of our Judicial Review?

Post 1/6

The WSJ just platformed Colin Wright claiming "evidence backs the transgender social-contagion hypothesis." This is pseudoscience wrapped in statistical sleight-of-hand, published by a biologist with zero expertise in gender identity or clinical psychology. Let's dismantle this rubbish. 🧵
