I am desperately trying to find a specific tutorial on building html-based portfolio sites; all i remember about it is it is white or green text on a black background. I lost my phone and all my tabs with it; I'm sorry I can't be more specific. feel free to share any tutorials you like too!

Banana and Goliath have bonded really strongly, something i could never have imagined before we adopted these kittens. He's been such a good and patient big brother to her, probably because they have very similar temperaments

standing together makes us strong. standing with labor makes us strong. standing with leftists and revolutionaries and the oppressed around the world takes a billion struggling workers and makes them an army which can push the course of history toward peace and justice.

we are not cannon fodder for "revolutionary fantasies" any more than sylvia rivera was cannon fodder for queer liberation. we are its beating heart. every trans person is proof that humanity can know itself better, can express its joy, can live authentically and with intent. we ARE a revolution.

liberalism has no solutions, only empty rhetoric and a policy of adopting the ways and means of their nominal opponents until they themselves are an ineffective shadow of the monsters currently stripping the american carcass. it will not save you. it will not save us.

do not listen to pundits, even trans pundits, who have given up in their hearts on the dream of liberation, who have preemptively sold out in hopes of becoming part of a world which is already dead and rotting

Transness is not bourgeois. This is a wedge idea dreamed up by some gleefully amoral think tank lobotomite to split trans people and make us fight each other. That we relay on modern medicine doesn't make us any more bourgeois than someone who needs antidepressants or cleft palate repair.

aww, I'm glad to hear that! I know you've been through hell and I'm hopeful Laralyn's journey will give you comfort, given her battle with multiple aggressive cancers. Any time I feel a whiff of burnout in myself I come back to her talk, it always sorts me out 💗

This is cool after the war on everything called “porn” by platforms and payment processors. A machine that stole all your words can generate and sell “erotica” but you can’t haaa

Oh good, ChatGPT is getting "erotica for verified adults" later this year

We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right.

Now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools, we are going to be able to safely relax the restrictions in most cases.

In a few weeks, we plan to put out a new version of ChatGPT that allows people to have a personality that behaves more like what people liked about 4o (we hope it will be better!). If you want your ChatGPT to respond in a very human-like way, or use a ton of emoji, or act like a friend, ChatGPT should do it (but only if you want it, not because we are usage-maxxing).

In December, as we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our “treat adult users like adults” principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults.

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)
