In case you're wondering why disabled people ask you to wear masks:

I caught a cold from a sick opposing counsel who opted not to mask in a courtroom.

I'm immunosuppressed.

Now I have bronchial pneumonia, an ear infection, a sinus infection, and tonsillitis.

From a cold.

TLDR: Bluesky is, right now, a relatively safe and usable place for trans people. Jesse Singal is on this site with the goal of changing that, as I interpret his own words. The Bluesky staff, by saying they won't take action unless he breaks a specific rule, are saying they're just fine with that.

I'm happy that garashir is cannon broadly? But I also kinda prefer the tension between Julian wanting to fix and lusting after a very bad man and trying to reconcile his morals with his love of War criminal Cloaca

a fuckload of cyberpunk takes showed up on my feed all at once

Just a reminder:

1) punk is not inherently good, punk is against the status quo. punk is inherently reactionary and rooted in white supremacy + crass commercialism

2) punk as music has no relation to punk as literature

My uncle is crippled from childhood polio, another uncle needed heart surgery because of damage from Scarlet Fever, my aunt survived Diptheria and her baby sister died aged two weeks from pneumonia probably from influenza
I've seen a child with tetanus, I've treated near fatal infections after chicken pox, and I've pronounced children dead from COVID whose parents refused to have them vaccinated.

We have lost our minds... and are about to lose so many of our precious children.

As a Black person I know this is not funny but also as a scientist the fact that they did something this stupid is hilarious but then also as a scientist the fact that it got past peer review is very insulting
The flat-earth paper argues that people who live further from Africa are more intelligent, but the method used to measure distance from Africa assumes the earth is flat. When this error was pointed out, nothing was done because it was a “nit-picking” criticism www.frontiersin.org/journals/com...

every site needs a version of somethingawful's "we can just ban you" policy to use against bad actors who make a game of ruining the site while making sure to always stay 1% shy of violating the rules as-written

That a dude with a couple cameras and a plate of appetizers can make something worth $82.5 million and a media company looks at that and goes "couldn't we make even more money if we had AI do it?" tells you exactly how stupid these people are
The $82.5 million sale of "Hot Ones" studio First We Feast is part of a broader strategy at BuzzFeed to shift away from human editors, writers and content producers in favor of artificial intelligence, which result in "high-margin, tech-enabled revenue lines."

The company said the sale will allow it to depend less on human-created content in favor of "high-margin, tech-enabled revenue lines."

Since we're posting Twitter hits:

A TE"RF" who was into f*ta porn once came into my mentions to argue with my followers that she didn't find trans women hot, because the subjects of her desire in her chosen genre were "penised AFABs".

Boris Johnson's memoir 'Unleashed' is not on the first page for the title 'Unleashed' when you search Goodreads.

It is not on page 3 either.

It is not even on page 10 and at that point I gave up because we were still *deep* in romancelandia with titles getting 5x the ratings.

I don't have it in tweet format anymore, but I'm pretty sure it was the time my (then) 5 y/o asked me to take his Elmo to my (then) work, thus leading to the series "A Day in the life of #AcademicElmo" (continued in next post).
