It's incredible to me how the mainstream press will be incredulous and skeptical when RFK Jr and other HHS officials push they're quackery around vaccines but suddenly become credulous when they go attack trans healthcare. Anti vax and anti trans beliefs are all the same quack pseudoscience.

People believe that when you're LGBTIQ+ you come out once, but the reality is that every time you meet a new person, you have to study them to decide if it's a safe space to say it or not

So apparently some idiot decided that what Wikipedia really needed more of was Nazi-positive LLM output.
Had a look...
"Dholuo" - copied from WP.
"Dellys" - doesn't exist (!)
"Al-Busiri" - copied from WP, with two paragraphs added.
"Siwi language" - _not_ copied from WP, and a big mess...

It's pretty wild to me that investigators have uncovered that anti-trans campaigns are largely funded by the fossil fuel industry, and that the presumed motivations are pretty directly to redirect the public conversation away from climate change... and that this isn't bigger news.

The trans community has stood up for Palestinians & objected to genocide harder than any other community...even when people told them they'll "lose rights if they'll make genocide their red line". I'll never vote for anybody who sacrifices trans rights & that's the sentiment among all my US friends.

There’s been a lot of framing of Elon Musk’s “spicy” AI tools as weird or cringe or inappropriate, and all of that is true. But it misses the larger point, which is that this technology is sexually abusive and deeply misogynistic—part of the right’s playbook to oppress women and girls

"In addition to Israel's ethnic cleansing of Gaza — part of Operation Gideon's Chariots, the Israel Defense Forces campaign to conquer and occupy the strip — IDF troops have been committing near-daily massacres of aid-seeking Palestinians."
Childhood malnutrition in the Gaza Strip is “rising at an alarming rate,” with more than 5,000 children under the age of 5 treated for the life-threatening condition in May alone as Israel’s U.S.-backed genocidal assault and siege against the Palestinian enclave continued for its 20th month.
