rich dudes got freakier after butlers fell out of fashion, like say what you will about having domestic servants but clearly it was some sort of moderating force on old rich dudes having a fancy man follow you around saying shit like "oh dear sir, that wouldn't be very becoming"

Levine is such a clear example of how it's NOT "just about parental rights/protecting kids" or "just about biological truth" (neither of which were sound arguments, tbc). A 68-y.o. woman's legal name has nothing to do with children or biology, and yet.

This is your occasional reminder that, if you like Neil Gaiman's stuff, but can't bring yourself to like it anymore for justifiable reasons, Tanith Lee is the author he is credibly accused of extensively cribbing from, and her work is on Audible, and AMAZING.

Today I spent $12 and change w/ tax for #BandcampFriday to buy 13 songs. The artists made $11.50 (=total minus tax).

That's ≈1 month of Spotify Premium, and cheaper per song than an iTunes single.

If I instead streamed those 13 tracks on Spotify FIVE TIMES, the artists COMBINED would make $0.33

Horses Is Tame
Horses, the indie game that is too scandalous for either Valve or Epic, is only beyond the pale if you're not familiar with any other art form.

one of many parallels between anti-vaxxers & those who oppose gender-affirming care: they start by pretending they have a very specific concern (MMR vaccine, puberty blockers, etc), but once given any sway or say on the matter, they quickly strive to eliminate all of it
Kennedy's zombie ACIP panel just voted to restrict hepatitis B vaccine for newborns. Experts say it will harm children for no reason. www.ms.now/news/rfk-cdc...

ACIP member Dr. Cody Meissner:

"'Do no harm' is a moral imperative. We are doing harm by changing this wording. And I vote no."

IRW — a Pulitzer-winning nonprofit newsroom at American — and @thebarbedwire.com traced the history of anti-trans legislation. Houston conservatives realized homophobia didn’t fly anymore, weaponized girls’ safety, and parroted segregationist language. It worked.

Restricting same-sex couples was no longer politically tenable, said law professor Marie-Amelie George, but “trans rights issues were a really successful wedge issue that could bring people to the polls and lead to restrictions on not just trans rights but also gay, lesbian, bisexual rights.”

Reporting showed no problem to be solved: There’s no evidence of a safety threat to women or children by allowing trans individuals to use the bathroom of their preference. Instead, There is substantive research these bills negatively impact trans individuals, including by harassment, and assault.

The thing about all the anti-trans sports panic: people argue this stuff while talking about elite level sports, but because there aren't actually a ton of superhuman trans women blowing away the competition, the people actually affected end up being those who play sports for fun/socialization

Last week @theverge.com published my essay exploring the limitations of large-language models. This week, that same essay is cited by a federal judge in Michigan to distinguish the process of human reasoning from what these models do. Very, very gratifying.

Statehood for D.C. is an ethical obligation at this point, required to protect the rights of our residents to govern ourselves against such out-of-state troops being sent to patrol our city.
NEW: Republican-led states, in a new filing at the D.C. Circuit, say D.C. residents are irrelevant, D.C. belongs to everyone else. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The filing is led by the South Carolina and West Virginia attorneys general. Both states sent troops to DC.

No Players Online is extremely cool and has you sleuthing around a old PC desktop and has little games within the game. A lot of love and care was put into all the little details!! It deserved better than being stifled immediately after release so please check it out if you can!
hello bsky! our game was taken down due to a false DMCA which completely killed our momentum at launch. our studio is in a very precarious position right now. please share and spread the word, steam has been little help to our situation.
