My friend Marvina is the leader of a small family of trans women fleeing persecution in South Sudan.
Now they are about to be evicted.
Please give what you can to help. They are looking for $200 to pay for another month of rent.
Your money = extra time to find permanent refuge.

Tonight, Queer Aid will be presenting the film Pride at Bokkafé Projektil. In the film’s spirit of solidarity between distant communities, we are raising money for two causes: to help our refugee friends South Sudan; and to expand our fund for free access to gender affirming necessities.

I can’t believe this monumental paper has finally been published! Congrats to all the very many brilliant researchers involved, including @molecularxtal.bsky.social and @jrkermode.co.uk 😃 What an exciting step in computational chemistry this represents!

There’s a good chance the British Prime Minister’s main adviser on AI is an OpenAI shareholder - but the government refuses to say whether she is.

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

6 Nov 2025 -- Lost in the news last night, a small PA town elects state's first transgender mayor. Eria Deuso of Downington (30 miles west of Philly) won 64% to 35% over her Rep. rival. Can the statehouse be far away? @rikiwilchins.bsky.social

We tried to place this story - very expensive polling, the first of its kind, strong quantitative data about what trans people feel about Britain: bluntly there is no better way to tell the story - with the BBC but it said it was "too weak".
But it will pick up any old piece of transhating garbage.

In @yougov.co.uk polling of the trans community, to the best of our knowledge the first of its kind ever conducted, an astonishing 84% said Britain is “fairly unsafe” or “very unsafe” for trans people.

In the studio to discuss this, Nigel Farage
[We see the guest on the sofa is indeed Nigel Farage]

PRESENTER:
Nigel, what’s your view?

Well I think this very worrying.

And just another reason why we should ban all immigration.

PRESENTER:
I won’t push back on that
FARAGE:
Absolutely!
7
PRESENTER:
Funnily enough, this is what your new show’s about, isn’t it?

as a girl with a PhD in natural language processing and machine learning it's actually offensive to me when you say "we don't know how LLMs work so they might be conscious"
I didn't spend 10 years in mines of academia to be told ignorance is morally equal knowledge.
