Some day I'll drive a race car for real

she/her
During my Master's, I watched people use AI/ML techniques to detect pneumonia, and working I saw it used to detect mineshaft cave ins before they happen.

Now, these massive gigacorporations are using it to take jobs away from hardworking artists instead.

Make it make sense.

you can't excise trans people from society because transness is an emergent property of free will. if you divide the world up into men and women and say men do this and women do that, some people are going to say that sucks, fuck you, i do what i want. it doesn't get more complicated than that

I think if you grow up lonely and emotionally isolated, in a culture that teaches you guns are the solution to bad people

Then you find out you're not alone, someone really does love you

Then you see someone who is advocating harm against the person you love

Its not hard to see that mental leap
idk kinda fees like a dude went through life vaguely disconnected and isolated from everyone and then someone showed him some love and he felt the need to do something to protect it at all costs

I really wish my mom hadn't taught me to play Texas Hold'em at like 8 years old at a competent level. I now feel obligated to say no when I'm invited to play because it feels wrong.

i am so fucking angry for the trans kids man, it feels like such a personal fucking attack to take away their fucking hrt or blockers, like imagining i was born like in 2015 and i was 10 years old now and figuring out i am trans and having a normal puberty fucking stolen from me from these fucks 😭

Elon Musk once again proving that wealth doesn't stop you from being a sad, pathetic, lonely old man by literally renting/buying a top 10 HCSSF PoE2 account to show off to a bunch of internet nerds how good he is at video games, despite clearly having 0 knowledge of the game

I never understood how someone, even the most queerphobic, could get upset at the term partner.

Even though girlfriend is fine, I still use the term partner because it feels *stronger*.

Like, do they just see their husband/wife as a nuisance? Are they not their partner for life?

My partner has landed on cricket as a nickname/pet name for me because whenever I get really happy/excited I tend to move my legs up and down, often rubbing them together, like a cricket. So now when I get excited it's just "Oh my little cricket 🥰"

Can't complain tbh

This is such a dumb move on Sarah's part. She's condemning all trans people to horrible fates by not fighting back. open.substack.com/pub/erininth...
Congresswoman McBride Announces She Will Comply With Rules Declaring Her a Man
The decision comes after Mike Johnson declared that transgender people are not allowed in bathrooms of their gender identity under the provision that he "controls the facilities."

i am continually thankful for what a cis woman friend told me early in transition, “honey, all of femininity is shadowplay. it’s ropes & pulleys & holsters. being a woman is tricking men into seeing what you need them to see so that you fight another day. now put on the fucking shapewear.”

when bluesky reaches 20 million users, this means that each of the 20 employees gets 1 million users assigned to them for their personal fiefdom. there will be endless wars in the future. the developers will send thousands of us into battle against each other for nothing more than a quick laugh.

Some American presidents get along with Canadian prime ministers and some don’t. I remember when Richard Nixon once referred to Pierre Trudeau as an “asshole,”
to which Trudeau replied, “I’ve been called worse things by better people.”

Just found a 13 hour YouTube video on Bionicle lore. Read the books (translated to French) when I was a kid but don't remember anything other than I really liked them. Will definitely watch it (likely tomorrow) because why not

I am finding it quite unbearable to watch Sarah McBride bear the grotesque attack of her colleagues with so much grace. I know it is what we have been taught to expect of trailblazers, but I am increasingly struggling to accept this.
