For people who are calling this stupid or childish, this is literally them setting up an excuse to ban flights from anywhere they please. All they need to do is accuse another airport of using weather modification and they can shut down individual flights or all flights from that location.

Alejandra Caraballo @esqueer.net · 16h

This is a real tweet by the Florida AG.

**Alt text:**
A social media post by Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier states that, as of October 1st, all Florida airports are closed to any weather modification activities. The post urges people to report violations of the new law at reportfloridaskies.com. Below the message are two airport notices. The first shows Daytona Beach International Airport (DAB) closed to geoengineering and weather modification aircraft except with 48-hour prior permission. The second shows Palm Beach International Airport (PBI) closed to aircraft equipped with weather modification or geoengineering equipment except with 24-hour prior permission.

It's a hilarious demo of how normal use would break the product, but also the product is just mashing two things that exist already under a fancy "Meta" namebrand.

The funny thing about this demo to me is it's text to speech on normal AI. He interrupts the answer to his question which contains first steps so when he repeatedly asks for what he should do first, the model gets confused and panics. Which is exactly how normal people would use this 10/10 no notes.

Reactive also breaks if you drag someone into a private channel. It only works if they join the channel on their own for discord to recognize that they're in the channel.

This is one of the biggest reasons I bounced off Hollow Knight, the other issues being more minor complaints.

Does Silksong has a functional map? The trailer shows a map that doesn't appear to show the player's location on it. Do you unlock the map automatically or do you need to buy it area by area from a vendor again?

For context I have aphantasia and metroidvanias without a good map are hell for me.

Just 6 years ago anti-vaxxers were a laughable fringe group. Now their victory is so total they're setting government policy. This is like if schools started teaching Flat Earth. A complete failure of education and science comms. Kids will die because we couldn't convince their parents of the truth.

Genocide.

We all need to keep collectively calling it exactly what it is. Especially us cis folks. When they’re done gunning for the most vulnerable groups they’ll just go after the next most vulnerable and won’t stop because they never stop. Thats what hatred is.

It’s Genocide, plain and simple.

This shit sucks man. Medically proven and effective treatment that would save trans youth a lifetime of pain and discomfort in their own bodies thrown in the trash because our country enables the most evil people imaginable.

Youth anti-trans legal risk assessment map From Carla Lewis: this breaks my heart. there are now only FIVE safe states with strong protections for trans youth: new mexico, minnesota, vermont, hawaii, and massachusetts. if cis people don’t start fighting hard for trans youth, then soon there will be no safe states. an entire generation is going to suffer needlessly
