After years of talking to Trump supporters my view of them has become very simple: They want socialist, even sometimes progressive reforms but they want them from someone who makes those reforms feel powerful and masculine and they want to make sure the people they don't like don't benefit from them
in order to best position ourselves for positionality we strive to activate audiences through organic interactive experiences and authentic brand moments that tap into core tentpoles and build runways for brand activations through leveraged influencers and talent to deliver for distribution partners
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."

But as Prof. Haraway taught us, there is no "god trick", no view from nowhere. The only way to do good scholarship is to embrace, acknowledge and speak from one's actual positionality.

i just think that's a rather different positionality from that of many of you and if someone is imo wrong (even imo cataclysmically) on an issue from said different positionality we should at least show we understand that perspective

There's a lot unexamined about the unstated prescriptivism and norms around non-binary identity in Western, anglophonic contexts, but it's really operative in how the Woman is constructed as this binary, regressive, unqueerable positionality.

It feels impossible to push back against the deluge of uncritical "reporting" and reactions to this garbage. I am so grateful for Ed Zitron's coverage of and critical positionality against all this garbage LLM criti-hype.
Better Offline monologue: I run through the nonsensical, pro-AI lab scare campaign driven by a former researcher, how the media keeps falling for grifts, and how dangerous AI is already in the wrong hands - those of Anthropic and OpenAI. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b... Linktr.ee/betteroffline

Hoping for more great horror in 2025. I want more LGBTQ+ horror, more horror from BIPOC writers, more horror mixed with whatever authors love. I want more smart, unique horror that doesn't care about being easy to digest. I want more horror full of positionality. I want it all.

I assure you that acknowledging how trans women face misogyny will only strengthen your understanding of patriarchy and your own positionality under it, and that recognizing how disposability, degendering, and dehumanization work hand in hand with regendering and reproductive exploitation is good.

trans women are women in the positionality, negotiation, embodiment, and desire way. also in the sense of how women can do anything. trans women are women in the sense of women being the protagonists of the march of history and my heart
Do you think trans women are women in a "gender is fake, words mean nothing" way or in a "trans women are women" way.

So now, the pathological, chronic, utter and complete refusal to take transmisogyny seriously while refusing to actually consider the unique, distinct positionality of transmascs who struggle with their own forms of patriarchal violence means that reproductive exploitation remains a fucking wedge.
