once again i cannot emphasize enough that transphobia is almost entirely an elite panic. the overwhelming majority of people simply do not care—it is media and political elites who are obsessed with us and keep bending over backwards to justify and spread transphobia.

Nicole DeWitt @catastro-v.bsky.social · 5h

the idea that trans rights have swung elections to republicans is a fiction made up by media and political elites (both conservative and liberal) who are personally transphobic and want transphobia to be politically popular so they no longer have to hide how disgusting they think trans people are

If the thrust of your streaming platform is that it's the best place for watching a subtitled medium, it's a natural business sideline to then build an industry-leading subtitling & playback engine that is so good, your competitors would want to licence it, not to replace that with something worse.

it was said by someone like half a year ago that learning how to deliver passable if not good work under both immense pressure and short notice is actually an important part of the college experience and an incredibly useful skill and the person who said that was right

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

wrote 20 pages on Faulkner's The Bear four hours before final papers were due on trucker pills and coffee and cigarettes and got an A, fuck you.
You people couldn't hang with real slackers.

Many of these “illustrations” aren’t based on verified intelligence at all.

Our analysis of 43 official IDF videos found recycled 3D environments, spatial inaccuracies, and assets lifted from unrelated artists and institutions.

NEW: Since October 2023, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit has released dozens of 3D animations illustrating alleged Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iranian sites

The style is now unmistakable: satellite zoom-ins, black & white wireframes, and red-textured houses - a new visual language of war

Okay technically my TV has now tasted the forbidden ethernet cable, but it was just so I could use a Windows application to access the TV's service menu to turn off an annoying auto-dimming function which the mostly-static screen of Critical Role kept triggering. #CriticalRoleC3

Pazuzu @mrbowers.bsky.social · 2d

No TV of mine has ever so much as tasted an ethernet cable or a wi-fi signal and that is not going to be changing.

I've got all the ones for the people I've met, I'll fill out the other ones once I meet them in chapter 3 and (presumably) get the little medallions that make their signets show up more often.

This is genuinely one of the best tactics for these protests. When you look fucking stupid as hell, dressed like a goof, and stand facing off against a bunch of over armed, jackbooted thugs it makes it really difficult for them to spin this as a military insurgency. Like, really? The frog?

A hero can be anyone. Even someone doing something as simple and reassuring as making ICE stormtroopers look like pathetic little bitches by dancing around Portland in an inflatable frog costume.

Mindlessly ran through ER enough times today to get chapter 1 up to 70-something percent completed. Also trying to collect all the signets because of all the things wrong with my brain, being a compulsive completionist sure is one of them. #Bowers3rd
