„Aber wer würde euch denn beschützen, wenn es keine Männer gäbe?“
„Vor wem?“

I tried to explain this to people the other day - a rainbow flag to me as a gay man means, “LGBTQA+ people are welcome and safe here”. No more. No less. And removing them means, “You are not welcome or safe here”. No more. No less.
stories like this piss me off for multiple reasons
- stop participating in the erosion of rights of our fellow americans
- this is not the maryland way
- bitch youre in maryland, one of the bluest states, stop being such a reactionary wingnut

we are well past the point at which anyone who cannot identify bad faith like this is disqualified from commenting on it

a lot of people debating the merits of that dogshit essay meanwhile the girl’s mom is retweeting demands to ban all trans people from teaching at any level. it’s forest for the trees shit

If you absolutely need home cameras and doorbell cams and such, Reolink devices can function 100% without any access to the internet.
Combine that with a Home Assistant server and the only one who can see what's on your cameras is you.

One thing Gwen understands more than most about the Texas and Oklahoma crack down on trans people existing in the university is that this is part of a broader movement by TPUSA and astroturf right wing groups to push society to make having a job while being openly trans impossible again.

Because it's going around - my take on #Whamageddon:
Play it, but in a fun way - don't be obnoxious about it.
When you're out, SING ALONG and then spend the days until Christmas enjoying the fun song, because the proceeds go to charity and grumps get haunted by The Ghosts of Christmas Music.

I'm of two minds about the term "AI fatigue" because it's not a correct description of the phenomenon — it's implying that these AI widgets were at some point useful — but it's evidence that even ardent boosters are facing a level of resistance they can't ignore.
my “AI is over” anecdote is that my wife was hired over the summer to write scripts for a big tech company explaining how to use their AI tools and after many rounds of revisions, the latest notes said “we’re finding a lot of AI fatigue among our users” and to remove all references to AI
Anecdotally on twitter seeing a big shift the last few days from every AI slop account saying every other creative field is “over” and they’re in control now to now posting about how nobody likes them and it’s not fair and they’ll persevere and real artists respect and uplift eachother
