we are well past the point at which anyone who cannot identify bad faith like this is disqualified from commenting on it

the girl and her mother are basically screaming THIS IS A BAD FAITH ATTACK ON TRANS PEOPLE at the top of their lungs and if you can't see that you're stupid or lying
a lot of people debating the merits of that dogshit essay meanwhile the girl’s mom is retweeting demands to ban all trans people from teaching at any level. it’s forest for the trees shit

Fuck this (realpage settlement, not s.e. smith’s correct opinion).

And look: RealPage is essentially the Voltron of landlords. It’s software that allows them to get together and form UberParasite so that every landlord in your city can extract every dollar possible.
The landlord class is fundamentally parasitic. The very idea of owning land is ludicrous let alone treating is as a purely extractive source of 'passive income' rooted in the exploitation of people who just need a fucking place to live.

A settlement with algorithmic collusion facilitator RealPage allows it to keep allegedly ill-gotten profits and continue innovating to raise rents.

Just so it's clear. It's not allowing AI because it's trying to create a clean dataset for training AI. It's not because any of the involved parties actually care about human created art.

Demons can lie to you. You have to rebuke them categorically, rather than fold when they say the right words.
Vine is being rebooted under the name diVine, with funding from Twitter’s former CEO Jack Dorsey.

The app plans to feature more than 10,000 previously archived Vines and does not allow AI-generated content.

dear trans siblings: you can improve your mental health 10x by just not being on twitter!
No, flexing your transition progress on transphobes isnt a dub, nor is ratio'ing them or debating them. You are just exposing yourself to horrid stuff for no reason. You deserve better :v

Ppl need to understand what's happening here.

The GOP response to the shutdown was: You're gonna cave, or we're going to hurt vulnerable people by shutting off SNAP. The Dems, unwilling to let that happen, caved.

Having watched that, the GOP is now saying: "Give us what we want on abortion or ..."

put the finishing touches on ambrosia sky act 1 today. there is nothing more that can be done before release

when you start a game it can become anything. when you finish, it is just one thing

to finish is to mourn the death of infinite possibilities

The endgame for a lot of information control projects is taking a firehose of real information and running it through your special filter before showing it to people. The problem is if the real information is available people can go to that instead.

Python was awarded a funding grant, funding grant asked Python foundation to remove all diversity and inclusion initiatives they have.

Python foundation said no and rejected the grant.

If you use Python, send a few dollars to the charity to keep it going. I’m pushing a dono on behalf of ScamGuard.
Please read our statement, share it with your networks, and support us if you can. www.python.org/sponsors/app... psfmember.org/civicrm/cont...

They abolished the House of Representatives ... solely to prevent the release of information about the president's best friend, the pedophile who ran a sex trafficking ring.
I really think that we need to talk more about the fact that Republicans have basically quietly abolished the House of Representatives

splitting the expo floor into 5 "neighbourhoods" is one of those ones where like. okay. 99% of the GDC expo floor other than the indie section has traditionally been weird grift stuff. So this isn't really much of a change. But the idea of a "monetization lounge" is incredibly funny to me

Like I've been saying, why should reporters bother treating Johnson like the Speaker of the House when he's effectively disbanded the House.
It's official: Speaker Johnson just cancelled all votes in the House next week.

The next scheduled voting day is 10/27; the last time the House was in session was 9/19.
