To give you an idea of how deranged the UK has become about gender stuff, here's Enid Blyton - the absolute avatar of classic English conservatism and a huge fan of racist "gollywogs" - casually describing a gender non-conforming kid in the 1940s and having their friends be totally cool with it.

I have a backburner idea about "technologies of capitulation" - ie when we give up on the obvious fix, b/c ppl are terrible, and do something more complicated - anti-roofieing drink glasses, bulletproof backpacks, etc. Trying to figure if bionic shoes fit.
Yeah, hi, I’m a person with “mobility challenges” (excuse me while I hurl). What we want, by and large, are not expensive, heavy devices that will “help us walk again”, but ramps.
I know, it’s not sexy, as technology invented before Christ, but it is overlooked in favor of…this. Repeatedly.

Good time to remember that if we had just hired 1000 immigration judges instead of spending 50 billion on ICE, this all would have sorted itself out on its own in 3-4 years.

In incredible news, the European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly for "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women."
Even the center-right European People's Party voted for the declaration.
It will form a foundation for their position at the UN Commission on the Status of Women.

European Parliament Votes Overwhelmingly For "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women"
The resolution, though nonbinding, is a significant shot at those who seek to erode transgender rights on the continent.

Doctors say that vaccines protect children from dangerous diseases. A nepo baby who barbecues dogs and snorts cocaine off toilet seats says that vaccines make children vulnerable to 5G radiation. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

I lived in an apartment building in SF that had been a bordello. One night I had gone to bed and heard noise from my kitchen. I thought it was the cat, except the cat as on the couch. Then I heard footsteps. A man walked into the main studio. I sat up and said, “get the fuck out of here!”

Bear with me, the edibles are kicking in.
I currently live in an American four square built in 1918 as part of a wider building project for returning soldiers after WWI.
We've lived here since 2010. And we've had mild shenanigans from "Mr. J" over the years, but this event was different.

Journalist challenge: Use “Machine Learning” when you mean machine learning and “LLM” when you mean LLM. Ditch “AI” as a catch-all term, it’s not useful for readers and it helps companies trying to confuse the public by obscuring the roles played by different technologies. 🧪
