A friend of mine works in AI and thinks bad things are about to happen. He sold his home and moved his family out the country. He said that if you own a home in a walkable San Francisco neighborhood near a taqueria with good veggie options, you should sell your home for super cheap right now.

It is the Democrats who decide whether trans people are going to be fighting Democrats or fighting Republicans. I think most of us would much *rather* fight Republicans. All Democrats have to do to make that happen is *not talk*. That's easy. Democrats are *very* good at not taking policy positions.

ITS THAT FUCKING EASY
WATTERS & EL-SAYED.

Watters: Do you think men should play women's sports?

El-Sayed: I'm running for U.S. Senate. It's insane. I'm out here trying to take on the health care crisis and big pharma, and you're asking me about who gets to play what sports. It's silly. People can't take you seriously.

I think it’s pretty bad that to understand the current insanity of our tech sector and economy more broadly you have to have a degree of awareness of the absolutely deranged cult shit they cooked up off a harry potter fanfic that could charitably be described as “bad”

Something that specifically chafed me about the studio’s response in the article:

There’s a bit where they say the crunch “isn’t forced”. In my somewhat limited experience, that’s actually worse!
To those inappropriately and alarming hyped for the newly revealed Metroid title:

it remains extremely fucked up and under-commented-upon that laws targeting trans *children* specifically are further right and more extremist than ones where children are only collateral damage

we should not agree that "we'll hurt the children more" is a moderate compromise

this is a day to remember that even people who've caused immense pain, even people who've been deliberately cruel, are not bound by those patterns and can in fact genuinely change for the better

one way or another

Yeah it’s one thing when someone is sharing their 7 month old’s deeply reactionary political insights or whatever but aside from that kids say insane and hilarious things constantly
One lovely thing about Bluesky: by the end of Twitter, anybody who shared a story about the amazing things kids say — which they do every day, around the world! it’s beautiful! — would have a swarm of “yeah, that never happened” dudes in the mentions immediately
Fourth grader was saying how in class they were learning about how you know where you are; they said their answer was "well first I think about all the places I'm not, and then I subtract that from everywhere" and hi have you met my kid

p.s. when you develop enough of a critical eye to find the flaws in the things that you used to think were untouchably, impossibly perfect, you realize that it is okay to make imperfect things. the next step from there is "it's ok for ME to make imperfect things"
