I’m transgender;
I made a lot of Nazis & transphobes very angry by getting them kicked off Reddit;
I know too much about hate groups on 2015-2022 Reddit;
I am learning to read sheet music, play a keyboard, build synth patches, and I enjoy folk music & October Project.

The United States is rapidly descending into playing out the events of The Handmaiden's Tale

"Gender Extremism" classed as domestic terrorism means not just transgender people, but any feminists, any lesbians, any homosexual men, and any gender-non-conforming people

Years ago, when I was infiltrating a group of White Identity Extremists on Reddit, one of their projects was explicitly to find ways to get faked videos & photos onto the front page, to make people be unable to have the resources to tell fakes from reality

so they'd let the Nazis think for them
and of course

This is your annual reminder, from me, that Facebook launched Groups in 2010, meaning the company has fostered, repeatedly refused to ban, and defended its Holocaust denial groups for 15 years. A generation.

"When you encourage Holocaust denial, you get a Trump."

All cis dudes imagine what it's like to meet their female alternate universe counterparts. It's normal, it's fine, don't worry about it, but also, I wonder how she wears her hair? Does she dye it? Is it harder to die long hair than short hair? Does she colour coordinate her outfits to go with her ha

The year is 2027. Trump is accepting a "peace prize" from the International Cricket Council. In his acceptance remarks, he alludes to baseball, suggesting it be renamed to "American Cricket"
Trump: "When you look at football in the US, soccer -- we seem to never call it that, because we have a little bit of a conflict with another thing that's called football. But when you think about it, shouldn't it really be called football? We have to come up with another name for the NFL stuff."

Bad framing: ACIP voted to scrap the universal hepatitis B vaccine recommendation for newborns.

Accurate framing: Anti-vax conspiracy theorists appointed to ACIP by Robert Kennedy Jr., who made a fortune as an anti-vax profiteer, voted to expose babies to a preventable, incurable, deadly illness.

What about Europe? It is mentioned quite a bit, with one primary focus: European identity and the alleged elites and minority governments that restrict core liberties and democratic processes. This is extremely close to JD Vance’s Munich speech.

We wouldn’t want to build society out to accommodate bicycling or mass public transit as a primary mode of personal transportation, would we, no, that would limit automobile sales by limiting automobile infrastructure spending

Hi other tech folks! Does anyone have recommendations for trans-friendly recruiters on the West Coast?

I’m a lead product manager with around a decade of experience. Looking to shift back to a salaried position after consulting the last couple years.

Reposts appreciated, thanks!

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

There are two ways to do well at IQ tests

1: your family is wealthy enough that you are afforded sufficient leisure time & tutors to learn the skills & knowledge needed

2: your family gives you so much grief, and/or you are so poor, that i.e. reading dictionaries & textbooks is your only escape

I love how Strudel's solution to "how do we store user's projects" is "BASE64 encode the entire source code into the URL, making anything non-trivial unable to be handled by MS Edge" lmao

NEW: Elon Musk's Grok chatbot will, with minimal prompting, provide residential addresses of everyday Americans.

Prompts as simple as "[name] address" immediately returned accurate home addresses of private citizens — alongside other personal info we didn't ask for.

My employer, Dartmouth College, today boasts it's 1st Ivy "to launch AI at an institutional scale." It is doing this by partnering--"more than a collaboration"--with Anthropic, a company that stole the books of many faculty, me included, which many of us are suing.

Stoke fear. Exploit desperation. Suspend the rule of law. Fan brutality.

Every time the stronger brutalize the weak, it’s fundamentally the same playbook.

Our duty is to stand up to brutality.

Our moral obligation is to protect the vulnerable and hold the powerful accountable.

This is what government censorship actually looks like: defunding entire fields, deporting researchers, and quite effectively chilling speech that helps people understand how our information systems are being exploited and calls out powerful people and platforms for their bullshit.
For the last decade, the pervasive spread of bullshit & manipulation of online platforms have been widely recognized societal concerns. Now non US citizens studying those subjects can be labeled “censors” & denied visas or deported from the US. Censorship, indeed. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...
Exclusive: Trump administration orders enhanced vetting for applicants of H-1B visa
An internal State Department memo said that anyone involved in "censorship" of free speech should be considered for rejection.

This is a policy of an administration that intends to sue social media corporations that enforce or enable volunteers to enforce any kind of policy against hatred, harassment, violence, misinfo, etc
Holy shit.

Reuters reporting that new admin instructions on visas are if you worked at a platform in trust & safety or content moderation or on fact checking or online safety at an platform you *and your loved ones* are ineligible for H-1B visa.
