Yes -- I strongly distrust any narrative that says "the kids are not ok in NEW and UNPRECEDENTED ways we should be scared of"

if only because it's so easy to find examples of these narratives that go back as long as we've had language

and bc if we wanted to help youth, we'd start with gun control
The podcasts @ifbookspod.bsky.social & The Devil You Know changed the way I think about books that try to explain adolescent psychology. From the focus on the tragic story of 1 person, to blaming it all on the internet), to the overuse of the hosts name, it all reeks of BS to me now.

The time I found out 10 years ago that scrolling with a Dell touchpad set registry keys every few milliseconds to adjust the scroll rate in a hack way 😵‍💫

I did hear that someone at Microsoft complained to them about this.

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.

And trans lives are grounded in reality.

We see y'all. No matter what.

First-of-a-kind study shows encouraging data for trans kids who socially transition
Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.

Every year another Doom birthday rolls by and reminds me of the same thing:

I never actually launched the project I started five years ago with @textfiles.com

Today, I finally fix that.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

the long lines at food banks and assistance offices will be one of the images we forever associate with 2025.
"I have never seen the line this long at this food bank, This is 4x the size of every previous year...the line wraps around the building a second time..Everyone is freezing and an older lady in line had to be taken inside because she looked like she was about to pass out from being too cold..."

If I may present an alternative opinion on cloud outages:

Occasional short reminders of fragility in centralization and smoke-testing of our societal systems with effectively inconsequential events, is important.

There is going to be day gigaoutage culminates, due to lack of minoroutage warnings.

Added some new merch bundles to the Misbehavin' Maidens Bandcamp shop...and permanently dropped our prices, particularly on CDs.

If someone in your life would enjoy some funny, filthy, feminist, fandom folk for the holidays, it's a really good time to buy.
