very convenient that the rich ruling class techbros solution to income and wealth inequality will be solved by letting them accumulate even more wealth

Popular Science

@popsci.com

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.

www.popsci.com/science/tran...

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.

pandemonium at the office

Digital illustration of a Pokemon scene set in an alchemist laboratory/office. On the floor, there is a Solosis bumping into a Ghastly, a Zorua chasing a Wynaut, a Sableye examining a magnifying glass, and a duskull hiding under a desk.

On the desk in the center of the office, there are books, candlesticks, bottles and vials and other alchemy trinkets spread across, and there is a Litwick and Sinistea hanging out. A shiny Mew is turning a page of a book using its psychic magic.

Floating all oer the room are a pair of Duosion, a pair of Shuppet, a Munna, a Misdreavus, a Musharna, and a Klefki. There are sheets of paper just floating around through magic, and in the background, there are maps and picture frames pinned on the walls, bookshelves and shelves filled with academic looking books, vials, bottles, flasks, boses, and other magical/scientific novelty items. On the window is a Murkrow cawing, and on top of a bookshelf is a Jirachi.

The scene is chaotic and hectic but the mood of the piece is calming because of the warm light cast through the window.

I misread this image so badly that I can only really hope to illustrate what I saw.

( Also a good excuse for an #art study )

A digital drawing referencing the quoted image. In the style of an early 20th century drawing, a woman in a dress holds a minigun. The text above is changed to read "Does the minigun make women cruel?"

I absolutely get this sentiment but it is way harder than people think to attain a system of democratic government that is capable of surviving for a decade much less several centuries. It is worth an enormous amount of effort to attempt to rehabilitate our system rather than abandon it

Blahaj Enjoyer @blahajenjoyer.bsky.social · Nov 19

this is a genuine question i ask without any sarcasm or malice in my heart, but i'm genuinely unsure how one could look at the state of this nation and believe in the system of government that has lead us here, or to any of the atrocities the united states has committed in its history?

PORN IS ART, PORN IS GOOD, PEOPLE MAKING PORN IS A SIGN OF A HEALTHY SOCIETY

Asher Elbein @asherelbein.bsky.social · Nov 13

There has been a noticeable reticence in left and liberal circles to voice full-throated support for pornography, even as it's become increasingly clear what the open end goals of the censorship movement are

Ana Valens | 🔞 @acvalens.com · Nov 11

In a lot of ways other leftists chose this path folks. They shrugged and didn’t care when Patreon banned a ton of hypnosis and TF creators, or when YouTube started their ASMR crackdown. Now it’s coming for queer porn creators, more and more. Who will stand up?

Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market.

This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

Jonathan Cohn @jonathancohn.bsky.social · Nov 7

I fully believe in the corporate death penalty and believe we would be a better world if OpenAI lost its corporate charter and was forcibly dissolved.
