If any journalist wants to talk to a trans man with a PhD in Human Genomics who was trained in labs that studied the evolution of sex, I'm right here
Or just keep platforming Republicans who have a 5th grade understanding of biology so they get more trans people killed, sure 🤷🏻♂️

He has said he has always been uncomfortable with multiculturalism, and had called for Asian migration to stop. He disagrees with people who say racism is a problem in Australia because that hasn’t been his experience. Why would anyone listen to him about social cohesion?!

But early on I knew all they did was pull numbers out of their asses to justify their decisions and talk about being "rational."

Predictable but still amazing to watch people who spent literally years accusing every librarian, teacher, and trans person they could find of sexually grooming children suddenly throw themselves in with "actually it's ephebophilia"
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

This is the dream of every industry developed post-2008. We haven’t had actual growth since then, just various debt-fueled, top-down hype cycles because everyone wants the deal that the banks got: Become so essential that any risk is collectively funded and all rewards are private.
OpenAI has now committed to $1.4T in AI infrastructure spending on chips, cloud devices and data centers. If it falls through, there will be significant ripple effects as many companies have their fortunes tied to its success.
The AI bubble popping won’t just take down AI startups.
