Simple fact is this:

If you’re a member of the “gender critical” movement, you’re part of a pedophile ring whether you want to be or not.
You’re not crazy. The anti-trans movement is not organic; it was funded by pedophilic billionaires like Jeffrey Epstein who backed a network of conservatives to accuse the same people they were sexually abusing of being the real danger. @madycast.com exposes the truth in our in-depth report.

Just gonna say since we're already talking about unionizing game writers: hey, maybe let us localizers in on those talks, too, because it's pretty fucking rough out there, even in AAA. I'd probably have three times as many credits if we were unionized and I'm one of the lucky ones with any at all.

as someone who's pitched recently I feel like the other half of the equation of megabucks live service games shutting down instantly (this does not apply to riot) is the publishing env has never been worse and so if you want more than a few mil you basically have to promise to be the next genshin

The most likely place one of the US scientists fired by a 19 year old will end up isn't in some other country's version of Princeton's Institute for Advanced Study, but like, McDonalds or Doordash.

The brain drain will be mostly into shitty gig jobs, not picking up that research elsewhere.
A colleague who’s an astronomer in the USA just got this from LinkedIn in case anyone wants to know how things are going lately 🥴

Have a happy Valentine’s Day with your soul mate, soil mate, or both!! 🌱💚

Those litter critters can be easily overlooked, and may even treated as nuisances or pests in some scenarios, but together they maintain the soil rich and healthy! Which is your favorite soil mate?

Bingo. Read those Epstein Emails. All of those rich and powerful schmucks are obsequious marks who somehow did not understand how played played they were

This is not a "gotta hand it to" thing for Vince McMahon, but the guy long ago made a vow to always be the promoter, never the worker or the mark
Vince is many things, but he would never want to be the mark.

Increasing autism rates over the last 25 years may just be kids with mild forms getting diagnosed. Rates of moderate to severe impairment due to autism have actually fallen slightly.

To repeat.

And to repeat:

The political faction saying we must all have to log legal ID before speaking or accessing speech on the Internet,

and the political faction who believe transgenderism is a dangerous mental contagion that spreads by speech about transgenderism,

are the same faction.
Age verification is deanonymization,
Deanonymization is censorship.

The Supreme Court is now taking away your right to anonymously *read* a form of speech. If speaking can mean that your readers have to subject themselves to potential consequences to read it, how can there be freedom of speech?
NEW: In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court held that age verification for explicit sites is constitutional. The majority said it protects minors without violating free speech; dissenters warned it burdens adults’ rights and ignores First Amendment precedent.

None of my skills went away when I got two shotted by mental illness and long covid, I can still do most of the shit I used to be able to do - I just can't do it reliably enough that anyone will fucking pay me for it. My one good day a month is not maximally exploitable you see.
There’s a huge # of non-disabled *&* disabled ppl who think that disabled ppl just need to “reskill” to be able to work. They literally can’t conceive of those of us who are too sick. My business was doing better than I could manage. I had to close down because using the post office became more
