I can't even bring myself to watch the "Antifa roundtable," I will break out in hives

@evanurquhart.bsky.social whoever even implied rights are contingent on immutability? Religious freedom anyone?

@karenattiah.bsky.social I can't get over how America just shrugged at that whole situation. And tech companies gladly take MBS' money.

oh you’re“anti antifa”? That’s cool, I’m made of anti anti-matter

@erininthemorning.com yeah I think we can confidently predict it will happen at least once!

Just dropped my wife at an intl flight this morning and going to take measures to prevent her from being stranded (I could drive to her connecting airport if I have to though).

And for better and worse, I still look better with facial hair than without. Part of the reason I changed my mind about lasering it all off. I'll evenly thin out with electrolysis instead.

Embarrassing confession: there was an unreasonably long period of time when I had Leslie Feinberg's AGAB exactly wrong. This doesn't mean the end of me being like "goals!" about how they looked in a suit.

Like FR I'm coming up on 2 years on estrogen and starting to like what I look like in […]

I'm just gonna go ahead and be weird and bring back archaic English cases to fix the gay fanfiction problem.

thecave.social has been updated. We also set authorized fetch to on because I think it's widely supported enough that it _shouldn't_ cause issues but let me know if it does.

Another thing that I'm seriously considering is putting this into allow list mode, which is actually what I was planning […]

@jacobtlevy.bsky.social haha he'll be fine. He doesn't have to worry about what people are fleeing the US for under Trump.

@parkermolloy.com amazing how every time we suspect some elite is a TERF it turns out we were 100% correct.

other parent: "don't be afraid to yell at my kid if they misbehave"

me: "haha yeah no way in hell am I doing that"

@GottaLaff The religious right is the pro-child abuse movement. That's all there is to it.

🤬Was there ever a doubt? #lgbtq

"A majority of the Supreme Court signaled it is prepared to rule against Colorado’s ban on “conversion therapy” for minors, w several justices signaling they agree w licensed counselor in the state who says the law violates her 1A rights" […]

Germany had its own internal precedence for the Nazis. Their genocide against Herero & Nama people decades before and their internal history of pogroms. But genocides, concentration camps and antisemitism elsewhere directly informed Hitler. History, as badly misinformed about it as the Nazis […]

This thing always happens where someone wants to drive home just how bad things are by comparing to somewhere. ICE is gestapo. US religious right is Taliban, etc.

Then others will respond that obviously this isn't a foreign import but has deep precedent where it stands.

I think the real […]

LLM-based cloud services are still in the subsidized/pre-enshittification era. One scary way I can see it going is it basically becomes gambling: you pay per invocation, so the company makes more money the lower its odds of giving you the answer you needed.

For my newsletter, I wrote about how wantonly illegal and unconstitutional ICE is, how it must come to a stop now, how it's up to all of us to stop it, and how we will need to develop a way so the federal government can never do this to us again.

@nberlat.bsky.social that is such an odd thing for me to suddenly learn about him. I do get "ex-gay" vibes though. I hope this isn't some self-hating asexual thing.

People going "America was always fascist" or "it's been like this since the 1980s" or making related claims don't seem to realize it, but they're telling everyone that nothing different is happening, nothing worse than usual, so if you weren't up in arms about eg 2013, you shouldn't be now either.

Seconded! My wife is hopping on an intl flight to see her grandpa this week. My kids' only living great-grandparent. I met with my maternal grandma more times as an adult than I ever did as a kid and still feel like it wasn't quite […]

Yay! Japan's first female PM!

*reads literally anything about her*

oh...
