"It's okay if I misgender [X] because [X] doesn't deserve respect!"
Fuck off, you don't do this shit when cis people are outed as fucking monsters. Stop posturing like it's about who should be respected. You just want a free pass to do transphobia. Just say the slur and let's move on, fucking loser.

It’s amazing how similar our current distress about AI is to Anne Morrow Lindbergh’s 1955 complaints about the soul-draining aspects of “labor saving innovations” for housework in the early 20th century

whenever men “save us all some time” they hollow out the human experience

Getting to be a girl FEELS like a privilege.

I know the resources we use to express those manifestations of self are a privilege to have.

But the quintessential truth of gender is you can just decide to be a girl, and nobody can stop you.

BY THE WAY

If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2.

There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security.

Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation."

TURN IT OFF.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen.

Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Any document from a historically significant period needs to be recorded and preserved.

Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

This year I wrote a novel, titled Sheam.

It's in (sort of) three parts, which I like to describe as:
1. Hang on, am I a woman?
2. Hold up, am I worthy of love? Gay love?
3. Wait a sec, can my polycule overthrow the government?

It's done and you can read it here:

These are the same people who would have brought smallpox blankets and strychnine snacks into Indigenous communities in the height of colonialism.

As long as they alone come out on top, it's a viable tool to them. Playing with trans lives is a day ending in Y to them
I cannot begin to properly articulate how upsetting it is to have had people baselessly accuse trans people of being groomers and pedophiles only for it to come out that they were deliberately doing this as part of a project to provide cover to actual groomers and pedophiles in positions of power

A complete and thorough sex education — consent and kink to reproduction and pleasure — needs to be taught in years 7 to 9 (middle-school for you Yanks)

Abstinence only increases the chance of grooming, teen pregnancy and SA'lt. If the kids know, they can protect themselves
"my least woke opinion is---"

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.

Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

The corporate death penalty.

If companies are legally people and we choose to legally execute people for certain crimes, we should be able to liquidate/nationalize a company when they commit similar crimes.

Jazz up your economic crisis by giving everything fun little names.

It's not "working two jobs," it's "polyworking."

Still convinced this is a problem in the design. HOWEVER!

Equally important, but able to be worked around, is the communication issues in combat. Basically, Henry is an interpolation of a historical reenactor.

Your skill ceiling is only as high as his. But, once you work that out, the game flows
I know I'm way far late to this... but! Kingdom Come: Deliverance is NOT how you do adversarial game design.

It's skullfuckingly annoying to get killed *en route* to an objective by a 1v4 ambush... and get sent back 2-3 hours, only to blunder into another 1v4 ambush trying to retrace your steps

Video game giant Rockstar has sacked more than 30 workers across the UK, including my constituents working at their Edinburgh office. I urged Ministers to support workers who have lost their jobs, and stop this from happening again.

If someone, anyone has to auction off pieces of their own life story to pay for medical treatment and care, then that is proof positive that the system is irrevocably broken and needs to be replaced with something that isn’t based on profit via the infliction of cruelty.

Can we circle back to the part where the NY Times never disclosed that they have incriminating information on Donald Trump from sent by Epstein that's been sitting on their email servers for nearly a decade?
Stuff like this makes me wonder why there hasn't been any reporting about Trump having affairs during his presidencies

Glad to see Polygon cover the resistance of game developers to generative AI--and to be able to speak briefly to one of the greatest dangers of this entire thing.

Gen AI doubles down on making MORE SPACE for production issues that *already make games worse.*

Shit on a shingle, #auspol, can you deal with the Neo-Nazis?

Or are you too ashamed to admit you'd be locking family and friends up?
