Great thread. And a key point: the transphobia of today is very similar to the homophobia I saw growing up.
Something I'd like to address. There's this idea that TQ+ folk are all 21 year-old art students... and all the 'normal' old school folk are LGB and entirely left behind and confused by 'pronouns'...
Every talk I give, know who the most outspoken trans allies are? Queer folk in their 70s!!

I buy this head canon honestly.
based on how often the naughty teens of major cities throw the rentable scooters directly into the river i've formed a theory that the many iron age swords and cauldrons found in lakes around europe that we've previously assumed were ceremonial and sacrificial in nature were in fact thrown by teens

Please, Apple, do this one right.
Neuromancer by @greatdismal.bsky.social finally gets a TV series. Could be amazing, but expectations will be high from all of us who read these books when we were young.
Count Zero was a personal fave.

Apple TV's New Cyberpunk Show That Was Called 'Unfilmable' Is the Sci-Fi Event of the Decade

AI’s water problem is worse than we thought
Everyone knows data centers use a lot of water. What’s less known is how they can poison the drinking water that remains.

What the hell is it with TV documentaries where the backing music is so loud you can't hear the dialogue? I've tried every damn setting on the soundbar, but subtitles are the only solution.

“That means courts will treat these children like adults” is a sentence the premier actually used. Proposing life sentences for 14-16 year olds is evil. Meanwhile the federal government is banning kids the same age from social media. Too young to post online but not to serve life in prison.
These reforms violate human rights obligations, contradict the evidence and will be devastating for children and young people in conflict with the law.

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

Now I'm 5 weeks unemployed / retired, I can go for mid-morning walks. Tried to convince myself it was cool enough to wear my new sweater. I was wrong, look how glorious it is out there.

Judge: what evidence does the prosecutors put forward to prove that the defendant is guilty?
Lawyer: things that were… things that are… and some things…that have not yet come to pass.

Trans people face growing barriers to healthcare, legal recognition & safety. Their stories are told about them, not with them. Media headlines debate their existence, politicians use their lives to win points
