Brianna Ghey wasn't killed because she was unsafe online. She was murdered because two of her classmates decided that it would be fun to murder a trans girl.

I saw somebody on TikTok using the word 'slopper' as a slur for people who use ChatGPT, and that's a thing we should start doing.

Is someone who makes these types of signs for a living, this is chilling. Interpreters work very hard to help visitors connect with a place and often share difficult parts of our history. This is an amazing exhibit. I’m not surprised the current administration is afraid of it.

“One of the most underrated aspects of the National Park Service is that we are the largest federal institution tasked with telling American history,” she said. “That includes good history, bad history, boring history, ugly history — it’s all history.”

When my friends were reading and watching ‘Lessons in Chemistry’, I tried to convey that the misogyny of the sixties is still very much alive and well for many #WomenInStem.

Right! And Whether he is genuine or not, he has spread his apathy to so many people. Rather than imagining a post-colonial, post-capital, post-industrial world, whole world gotta die bc the western model of civilization is bad for the environment?

Not to mention there were no citations! Sometimes i get the need for ditching formality, but when one of the central claims of the piece was that much of the literature about wind farms' effect on biodiversity has methodological flaws, you kinda have to cite that shit!

Oh i think ive got a GOOD guess as to who you're talking about. This is gonna be conspiratorial asf, but i am convinced that people in that camp of "enlightened doomer" are funded by the fossil fuel industry to make sure ppl just take the end of the world lying down.

I was guaranteed by several leftist reply guys and some academics that this would never happen because the only problem is *greed.* Guess what, landlords have to become a lot less greedy if there's more competition for tenants.

"One thing that I’ve learned is that religious extremists who oppose trans rights and atheists who oppose trans rights share one major tactic: the misappropriation of biology." An excellent piece from @kavinsenapathy.bsky.social that criticizes the terrible views of Coyne, Pinker, et. al.
American secular groups need to oust pseudoscientific bigotry
Atheists should know that dehumanization underlies theistic opposition to trans rights.

I'm tired of being told that AI improves efficiency.

Efficiency isn't worth it if it's rapidly accelerating climate change, polluting local communities, riddling everything with errors, and literally making people stupider

I will just go a little more slowly, thanks
