I’m old enough to remember the late 2000s, when redpill dudes were starting to mobilize online
various feminists and queer activists and historians wrote fairly regularly about misogyny as the canary in the coal mine of fascism
I can still hear the crickets

ok but the horse head does indeed have a stated purpose (keep real horses from being frightened). wouldn't that not be a skeuomorph then since it isn't exclusively ornamental?

Worth pointing out the biggest supporters of trans people (which is who bigots mean by “gender ideology”) are bisexual & lesbian women. All the public “concerns” about trans people (phase, indoctrination, regret, etc) are recycled forms of homophobia. This is why LGB solidarity with the T is strong.

Countries racing to show they too can be leaders on AI are committing their societies to further social disruption on the altar of attracting short-term investment.
It’s a recipe for disaster, and leaders need to wake up before it’s too late. AI needs to be reined in, not allowed to proliferate.

Retired Army Sgt. Brian Wofford spoke to me this morning at the Oklahoma City #NoKings protest. Didn’t expect him to be carrying his DD214 so I asked some warmup questions like when he got out and whether his injury was service-related.
He paused while describing the car bomb in Iraq to say this:

It's wild how much it feels like people are desperate to memory hole this entire phenomenon, to me. How viciously everyone who pointed out the emperor had no clothes were criticized. How content they all seem to be to let the biggest wealth transfer of the decade just fade out w/o REAL examination.

![The group spent about two hours in the city centre, during which time complaints were made to the police. The Manchester Evening News spoke to a woman who said one of the men shouted “Oh my god, look at them tits” at her as he hoisted the flags. The woman said she reported the incident because “it felt like [the men] were trying to start something and get my attention.” She also alleged the men had verbally harassed an Asian family with young children.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:mpngfs6ffibk7udfzb5jhvrq/bafkreiahvv6mcoadgtiry2v66453cz7khbcotglqeiuy65auywqjqmvvsm@jpeg)
