now there's an obit I can get behind

www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Charles James Kirk, 31, died on Wednesday from a gunshot to the neck at a Utah Valley University campus event just as he was trying to deflect a question about mass shootings by suggesting they were largely a function of gang violence. He died with a net worth of $12 million, which he made by espousing horrific and bigoted views in the name of advancing Christian nationalism. The foundation of his empire was the group he cofounded and led, Turning Point USA, which is a key youth-recruitment arm of the MAGA movement. Kirk was able to launch Turning Point at the age of 18 because he received money from Tea Party member Bill Montgomery, right-wing donor Foster Feiss, and his own father, also a prolific right-wing donor. He was an unrepentant racist, transphobe, homophobe, and misogynist who often wrapped his bigotry in Bible verses because there was no other way to pretend that it was morally correct. He had children, as do many vile people.

Already building up their narrative. “It prob wasn’t a trans but it COULD have been a trans. You probubly thought it was a trans at first for absolutely no reason and not at all because it’s what we’ve been propagandizing for years at this point, no it’s just cause the transes are bad.”

Fox News' Jason Chaffetz: "I don’t think it was a coincidence that the shot rang out when you have a question about transgender mass shootings. Hopefully I am wrong. I will probably get criticized for jumping to conclusions... I don’t think that is a coincidence but we will see."

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

And for those of you wondering how this may apply to you: If you create media for adults, or do any sort of work for the queer community, this could potentially affect you as well. You might not consider yourself a sex worker, but a lot of religionists sure think you are. Please, sign this petition.

Mastercard: Sex Work is Work. End Your Unjust Policy.

Mastercard's new policy unfairly targets the adult content industry, making sex workers more vulnerable, especially Black trans women. It must be stopped.

lol get their pasty no-chin-having asses

More recently, a survey of 25,000 employees across 7,000 workplaces by the National Bureau of Economic Research in Denmark found that enterprise AI contributed to paltry productivity gains overall compared to typical productivity growth over time.

For workers, "AI chatbots have had no significant impact on earnings or recorded hours in any occupation" — meaning that if AI is about to take everyone's jobs, it's being awfully quiet about it.

While loads of startup grifters and cynical PR spinsters have spent years pushing the AI automation story, the Nvidia CEO's forecast marks a noteworthy departure from his previous take on the issue.

Earlier in June, Huang pushed back hard on Anthropic CEO and fellow tech billionaire Dario Amodei's hairbrained statement that AI could automate half of all entry-level office jobs within five years — a claim so out of line with the tech's current abilities that it's almost meaningless.

"In mid-2024, a study of 2,500 workers found that 77 percent reported decreased productivity and even higher workloads when using AI. Just under 40 percent of workers reported increased workloads caused explicitly by AI's sloppy mistakes."

Nvidia CEO Says He Has Plans to Either Change or Eliminate Every Single Person's Job With AI

This is correct. Any candidate cynically “triangulating” on trans kids is a non-starter, and now is the time to say so. There’s still so much time to advance candidates that DON’T suck.

I will never, ever vote for Gavin Newsom. Ever, under any circumstances. I don't care if he becomes the Dem nominee, he's still not getting my vote.

Julie Rei Goldstein @julierei.bsky.social · Jul 15

On a recent podcast Gavin Newsom tells Shawn Ryan how the Trans sports issue opened the door for him to change his mind on GAC for Trans Youth.

As someone who adored him since 2004 and voted for him 5 times, I can't wait for him to leave office.

There is no way I will be voting for him a 6th time.

This week's video tackles the disturbing way in which language is being rewritten on YouTube. The platform coerces creators into volunteering their compliance and the result is increasingly absurd censorship that benefits the worst people.

Rep. Zooey Zephyr - My Wife - just gave an incredible speech against a drag ban in Montana. It was so strong that a Republican rose to speak passionately against the bill, chastising the sponsor.

The drag ban dies in Montana, flips 10+ Republican votes!

This is the power of representation.
