"All lesbians are TERFs" is propaganda designed to divide the strongest allies in the spectrum of queer identities - don't fall for it.

One of the myriad reasons I despise Waymos is that they are *deeply* antisocial. Instead of building safe and reliable mass transit, we're given hermetic pods that increase congestion and cause wear and tear on the infrastructure we all pay for.
Waymo privatized another public street:
Chanel approaching 4th, San Francisco
Possibly queued for a Billie Eilish show at Chase Center ~half mile away.
The light rail train on 4th seen passing in front of this roboherd has more passenger capacity than all of them combined.

I hate when websites aren't specific about their password requirements.
The site said I needed to use at least 1 letter and 1 number. So I used a cuneiform 3 (𒐮), but it kept complaining that I hadn't used a number!
Frankly, I was adding way more entropy than a Western Arabic Numeral 3 would have.

fun fact: the borg collective is technically entirely voluntary, but it only lets you choose "assimilate me later" as an option so most people just end up going for it right away to avoid the annoying popups

What I honestly find depressing is all that money and energy against trans athletes when the coach accused of raping multiple people is just *there*
(I know why, easier to demonize the oppressed rather than challenge the patriarchy).

I’ve spent a lot of the last three years investigating the rise of anti-trans politics. Often, it came back to the controversy over trans women athletes.
So I teamed up with @pablo.show to look into the leading figure on the issue: Riley Gaines.

An incident in a locker room has always been key to Riley Gaines’ anti-trans fame.
But @msjpauly.bsky.social spoke to swimmers who were present at the same 2022 meet. They shared a very different narrative.

I think these numbers remind us that we need to grapple with whether Twitter gets the amount of attention it does because people use it or because journalists still use it as their assignment editor and as the laziest, most inaccurate “Here’s the word on the street” source on earth.
NEW: YouTube remains king of the social media platforms in @pewresearch.org polling, with 84% of US adults saying they use it. TikTok, Instagram, WhatsApp and Reddit are notable gainers in recent years. Five times more adults use X than Bluesky (21% vs. 4%). www.pewresearch.org/internet/202...
