from a left-wing party, anything less than an immediate condemnation of transphobia, and a pledge to support trans people, to fight to get back for us the rights we have lost, to fight for our fair representation in the media, and to make the reforms we have needed for decades is fucking sus

Either you understand that there is an organized campaign to push trans people out of public life with the explicit end goal of "morally mandating us out of existence" that is backed by some of the wealthiest individuals to have ever lived, or you're simply not equipped to grasp what's happening.

Understand the depth of evangelical entitlement: the stupidity of their views is a deliberate reinforcement of the hierarchies they uphold. "Look how much I can get away with not engaging honestly or significantly with anything, look how I get to benefit from society while destroying it".

Antisemitism is a lot like Qanon child abuse conspiracies in that there’s this real and bad phenomenon and, parallel to that, what can only be described as a large scale mass psychosis about a mostly fictional version of the same phenomenon

To the establishment the tragedy seems to be that a mother lost her child far far more than a trans girl lost her life and everything that’s followed has been about suring up the ownership and control parents have over their children
Yknow thinking more about MPs championing the no phones in schools thing in Brianna Ghey’s name just how arrogant you gotta be as a cis person not to wonder where all the trans people endorsing your project are at named after a girl murdered for being trans

One can tell that LLMs were conceived by very lazy people. There are hundreds of years of logic and epistemology that were painstakingly developed to reign and constrain knowledge, and that are the basis for the development of computers. But these guys just made an "average of ALL inputs" machine.

There's something in 28 Years Later that could grow into a meaningful Elden Ring adaptation. A closeness to locations, terrain, and substances that rings magical: bright blue benzene flowing into people's lungs, corpses that frolic in riverbeds, the firmament descending into the sea at nightfall.
