like i have been saying, if you have ADHD you should be standing with trans people on their medical rights for basic moral and solidarity reasons but also the practical reason that you can fight at their barricade or you can fight at ours but it's the same fight
then, the transphobes , feeling victorious at how many people they have made unhappy and despairing in the previous week, move on to anything else that has a spectrum and the possibility of more colours than they can conceive - such hateful people - they cannot understand anything that is not THEM

2. This is an extremely small sample size in a house in Pompeii. And yet many headlines are universalizing in order to say ALL Roman slaves ate better than the freeborn. We know that this is absolutely not true.

chat, what do we call a man who keeps pressuring a woman for a video call after she has explained that she won't do that for safety reasons?
Great, and I will be clear, too: you are bad faith, and you're also quite stupid. Your arguments are hollow.
Your argumentative strategy relies on Bluesky (both async nature and follower sycophancy).
Be brave and hop on a phone call or video call. It's 2025, it's normal, be normal.

Middlemen, our economy’s most shadowy characters, sit in between buyers and sellers and get rich in the process. It can even be a matter of life or death.

I’m old enough to remember when the promise of the internet was the removal of middlemen and now it exists solely to create, maintain, and multiply middlemen

A Mexican woman was grabbed by ICE right after a c section.
She was suffering eclampsia and other complications, and her baby was alone in the NICU
They wouldn’t even give her a breast pump
She has a pending visa for victims of violent crimes… and then ICE committed a violent crime against her.

Labelers shift legal risk (as a function of their design) from platforms to the people running the labelers. And nearly all labelers will carry some legal risk no matter what.
But "this artwork which this user claims to have created is AI" is probably a fact claim that can harm a reputation.

The first school to market itself as AI free is going to corner the market on people interested in actually learning. And I would not be surprised if rich families and the children of people creating this tech were the first movers.
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.

It's also the "welfare queen" playbook from the 90s. And a few other playbooks over the years.
It keeps getting used because it is effective - the kind of people who like to think of themselves as fair-minded independents, or centrists, fall for it eleven times out of ten.

I do think the only workable solution is occasionally making a high profile, dramatic example of people who get caught flagrantly abusing the system which helps generate social opprobrium for rule breakers.

This is the "trans athletes are a problem" playbook, more or less, being deployed here against the disabled.
Balancing "no person with a disability should be denied accommodations" with "it's important to discourage non-disabled people from pretending to be disabled to take advantage of these accommodations" is really difficult and I don't have a great answer for what anyone should do about it.

"Rich kids are gaming disability accommodations to gain an unfair advantage" is actually very different from "America has an extra-time-on-tests problem" — and the author hasn't proved that either! Rich kids might just be more likely to be diagnosed.
