Transphobia has become the most effective entry point for far right discourse in the UK. I’d argue even more than racist discourse. The level of discrimination and demonisation that is being normalised at the highest level of this government and our institutions is extremely regressive.

Breaks my heart to share this, but today is my last day at The Verge and I am looking for work! I'd really like to stay in video games, preferably in some kind of journalistic capacity but I can do PR/Marketing and maybe even a lil Narrative Design. Please get in touch!

As I keep saying, both the AI rush and the “male loneliness epidemic” are driven by a complete lack of distress tolerance for the messy business of dealing with other autonomous humans.
Tinder CEO: Listen, dating is tough. We all know how disgusting and unpleasant sex is, and emotional connections? Ew. Just nasty. Finally with the magic of AI we can automate that tedium away.

asking Grok to remove Anne Hathaway's clothes, when Anne Hathaway has done multiple nude scenes in movies, makes clear the lack of consent is the appeal

Ernsthafte Frage: Wer stoppt diese Formen der journalistischen Verantwortungsverweigerung? Wer ist für ihre Beendigung originär zuständig - innerhalb der Medienhäuser als auch außerhalb?
Und welche Maßnahmen können greifen bzw. neu begründet werden, wenn das System unverändert weitermacht?

We are in a moment where a lot of people feel like they're going crazy.
There's a media ecosystem which is propagandizing the situation and it's leaked well beyond Fox now. The state itself is looking for reasons the shooting could be justified.
People need to know they're *not* crazy.

Pierce County, are you guys okay? This is absolutely insane. Video from @hannahkrieg.bsky.social.
Neo Nazi Sheriff Swank basically threatened elected officials with violent retribution. Also, he sounds exactly like Steven Miller.

Hasskommentare im Internet: Anonym verurteilt
Auf Instagram beleidigt „profdrcn“ seit Jahren Frauen und queere Menschen. Steckt dahinter ein hochrangiger Richter, der auch an einer Uni lehrt?

A decade ago, 'Multiple NATO nations have deployed troops in Greenland to dissuade America from invading' would have sounded like absolute howling insanity.
Now it's not even the most unhinged thing in the news in any given week.
