I've been an Xbox Live subscriber since the Xbox 360 (almost 20 years). I've joined the boycott and have cancelled my GamePass subscription. I pledge to no longer buy Xbox published games as long as Microsoft continues to provide services to the IDF @nogamesforgenocide.com kotaku.com/no-games-for...

“The networks have declined to air prime time speeches from the last two Democratic presidents, claiming they were too political.” In 2022, broadcast networks declined to air a prime time speech by Joe Biden “where he warned about threats to democracy, deciding the speech would be too ‘political.’”
Breaking precedent, networks interrupt prime time for Trump political diatribe

it is terrifying and awful that this passed the House with any Dem support at all (and once again, the continued leadership support for Cuellar is unconscionable)
call your senators and make absolutely sure this dies in the Senate, lives are on the line
trans people deserve so much better

Henry Cuellar, Don Davis, and Vicente Gonzalez joined Republicans in voting to criminalize trans health care.
The bill passed only 216 to 214.
4 Republicans voted no. If they did too, it would have failed.

Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->
By a vote of 76-23, S 1071 passes the motion to proceed to the motion to concur. Won't know who voted for this until the roll call is uploaded, but safe to say it passed with the support of at least 24 members of the Democratic caucus. (Rand Paul probably voted nay and Steve Daines has been absent).

anti trans hate, like all bigotry, is a moral error first, and only afterwards an intellectual error.
it's people deciding that others are lesser or broken or evil, and then doing a ton of reading to convince themselves that it's okay to be hateful.

Two weeks ago I said that there were likely millions of uninstalled Blackwell GPUs sitting in warehouses as there is neither the data center capacity nor the power to turn them on. Michael Burry is looking into it and it looks like he’s got evidence I’m right.

I didn't see the AI dog video but in learning to up my AI radar for images and how to spot what's off (or to realize what I subconsciously picked up on when my brain flags it as fake), what I realized is, it reminds me of is a lesson from when I did a forensic psychology course several years ago.

Reminder that "firing on the shipwrecked" is literally THE example used in the DoD War Manual of "a clearly illegal order"
“Leavitt told reporters at the White House press briefing that Hegseth authorized Adm. Frank Bradley to carry out the second strike, which reportedly killed two people who were hanging onto the burning vessel after an initial strike.” Wow. 12/1/25 thehill.com/homenews/562...
