Fuck YouTube. I would rather my videos stay removed than edit them to cut out the word gambling. For years, my work was about how loot boxes were gambling, and I used the word because companies didn’t want the word used.
I’d sooner lose every video than destroy the point of them.
Fuck. YouTube.

As a survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Viola Ford Fletcher bravely shared her story so that we’d never forget this painful part of our history. Michelle and I are grateful for her lifelong work to advance civil rights, and send our love to her family.

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, we remember the bright and courageous trans people whose lives were stolen by hatred. Their absence is felt across our city.
We will honor them by building a New York where every trans person can live safely, fully and freely.

Cosigned. As @pattonoswalt.bsky.social just said: Wood chipper, feet first.
I see the “technically it’s ephebophelia” crowd is out today, so just a reminder that A) this is NOT a case where technically correct is the best kind of correct and B) the minute you say this, the gods dump you in the “irredeemable creeper” basket and wash their hands thoroughly after touching you.

Here's the one thing noobs (and some not noobs) get wrong about VtM
and it's okay to get it wrong, no one taught you as they should have
But one of the CORNERSTONES of VtM is that you, as a vampire, are Damned. You are a MONSTER, make NO mistake.

Het was het nieuws van de week: de rechtszaak tegen Marco Borsato. Ook ik heb het gevolgd. Hier geen oordeel over schuld of onschuld, mij viel wat anders op. Waarom tonen we vooral compassie in verdachten die we verafgoden of waar we ons in herkennen?

Increasingly I think the point of a wealth tax is not to raise money but to create space for raising income tax. The lethal thing in politics is when the compliant middle class feels like they have been taken for mugs; if you want to get money out of them, someone else needs to pay more too.

I have realized why I've been struggling to keep up with, and keep writing about, what's happening with solar system exploration. It's not because things are bad; in the past, when things were bad, I wanted to shout about active missions to the world, as a light in the darkness, rare good news. 1/n

Thrilled today to release our big report on tactical nukes.
In writing up all of the effects, it was striking just how unprepared we would be to handle any of these scenarios—and how much the mere presence of these weapons add vulnerability to any crisis.
Quick thread on why TNW are so risky:

The phrase "trans activist" is goofy because like 95% of the time it's used it refers to a trans person simply existing.
Media, pointing at a woman buying a coffee: behold, a trans activist.

Does your org run a self-managed version of @gitlab.com and publish your own #Python packages to @pypi.org ?
If you want to try out an alpha of Trusted Publishing for GitLab Self-Managed instances, let me know via DM - I'm collecting interest now, and should have something to show soon.
