To curb AI deepfakes, “People fleeing [X], or other ways of exerting financial pressure on the company… will probably be more effective than trying to appeal to [Musk’s] feelings, and certainly to his ethics,” EFF’s @davidgreene.bsky.social told @MotherJones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/20...

I'm gonna say this with all the kindness in my heart: you aren't going to survive if you don't let your life have room for other things.
This is not a short term fight where we can just go 24/7 and then it will be over. We've got YEARS ahead of us. Take a break. Hydrate. Go bake something. Breathe.

I think this is more of what the male loneliness epidemic is about. Men and women are about equally lonely, but for some reason women are expected to fix it for men, so we hear about a male loneliness epidemic instead of a general one.

Good article. We have reported about "Gender Exploratory Therapy" at EITM for years now - it's a subversive practice akin to "crisis pregnancy centers" that seeks to delay transition until the person gives up on being trans - they will NEVER let the trans teen transition.

As political attacks on gender-affirming care escalate, parents and experts fear a resurgence of discredited “therapies” that seek to change transgender children’s identities.
