TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS
1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.
It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.
It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.
Transgender care saves lives.

I quit the former Twitter two years ago this week, and I am here to tell you that my online life got a lot better for having left it. In two years I've not been tempted to go back, and I haven't felt any penalty in either career or community for not being there. It's nice to be here and not there.

Of course I would say this, but we need to talk about the moral & ideological case for play & leisure more than ever. So much political discourse - especially from the super-rich - assumes we ought to construct society around forcing citizens to spend most of their one, unrepeatable life working.

there's a reasonably strong correlation between being right wing and having an undeveloped or simplistic idea of style, which is why these guys often dress like a character in a movie except without the wardrobe experts to make it work
It’s just coincidental that everyone he approves of politically dresses well and everyone he disapproves of politically dresses badly
Finally got around to blocking the menswear guy. He was great when he was actually talking about clothes and their construction and how they work on bodies. Rather like that Larry the Cat account - they get big and start doing tedious pontificating.

This is a good start. I absolutely loathe the current culture/climate of Kickstarter. The ‘Funded in 45 seconds!’ type stickers companies plaster over their ads are exactly the kind of gamified FOMO that I absolutely detest.
In case you missed it, I just launched a pre-order campaign for my upcoming 100+ room, 5 level dungeon The Castle Automatic.
Instead of doing a "traditional" Kickstarter, I opted for a pre-order campaign through Exalted Funeral instead. We're calling it the Early Worm campaign.

I’m thinking of changing careers away from art because of the AI thing but also …

This is very good. Clear, calm, factual, and devastating for proponents of bans on puberty blockers for trans youth.

Puberty blockers: why politicians overriding doctors sets a dangerous precedent
The government’s ban on puberty blockers undermines clinical expertise and targets trans youth with a policy that lacks evidence, consistency and fairness.

Goddamn dude, just go ahead knock 25 percent off my 401k and get on with it, I can't take much more of this.
What if the A.I. bubble “is an inevitable part of developing and adopting a revolutionary tool that will fundamentally improve productivity and growth?” Mohamed El-Erian writes.
Opinion | A.I. Is a Bubble. Maybe That’s OK.
Investors’ excitement rightly reflects the potential transformation of the entire economy.

OSR guys really be like "Games are at their best when they confront the human condition, when they explore the depth of human emotions and pit the rules against the players' desires. Anyway, here's another defense of rolling d6 for initiative."

Ubisoft and Treyarch resorting to regurgitative AI in their big $70 “AAA” games is simply pathetic.
The lack of integrity, the lack of dignity, the lack of pride. Sure, it’s all expected, but nonetheless miserably *pathetic* to witness.
Have some fucking self respect for once.
