In Idaho, a trans person can be sentenced to up to five years in prison if convicted of felony using-the-restroom.
By comparison, simple assault is charged as a misdemeanor (up to six months in jail), and 2 DUI convictions gets you 10 days in jail in Idaho.

GitHub opted *everyone* into training. No matter if you pay for the service (like I do). WTH

Harry Potter tattoo regret rate is an order of magnitude higher than regret for Gender Reassignment Surgery and yet no one has been brave enough to suggest we legislate Harry Potter tattoos.
Let me ask you about that specifically. I wasn’t at South by Southwest. We have a little baby. I didn’t travel this year, but I watched Instagram. I experienced South by Southwest through the magic of Instagram and TikTok. You had a suite there at South by Southwest. I looked at some of the videos. The caption on one of the Instagram carousels… I’m just going to read you the caption. This is from the Superhuman suite at South by Southwest. There were a lot of talks there. The summary of the talks was, “AI can’t replace human creativity, empathy, or emotion. It won’t take all of our jobs, but it will reshape how we work. And in the AI era, taste and judgment are more valuable than ever.” Valuable on what metric? Is it dollars? Valuable on every metric. Specifically dollars. Dollars are what I pay my mortgage in. Is it dollars? I’m sorry, I didn’t understand the question. If my “taste and judgment are more valuable than ever,” but it’s also infinitely replicable and you think I need a new business model or every creator needs a new business model or– Sorry, you made a big leap from that. How do I make more dollars? If my “taste and judgment are more valuable than ever,” where do the extra dollars come from? So just to be clear on the tagline for Superhuman, what we believe is that we can help all our users become superhuman by bringing them tools that allow them to expand their work. The main way we think about people is that Grammarly doesn’t do your work for you. Grammarly helps make you a better writer. And you still publish your essay, you still post your article. It’s our job to turn you into a superhuman. That’s our promise to our users. That’s what the banner’s about. Your question is a very good question.

If he's going to get a national profile on the strength of a younger woman's campaign, I'm going to come out and say it: during his short-lived tenure as a math professor, Biss had an inappropriate romantic relationship with one of his undergraduate students. I was that student.

Mega thread on who is behind these age verification laws, spoiler alert it’s Meta.
The thing about this fascist take over is it has been telegraphed, planned out, on the surface, barely even dogwhistled, for a decade. A decade. And liberals (and a fair number of leftists) have spent the decade telling us to calm down, stop being hysterical, stop exaggerating
Rest in power Breonna Taylor. Today, we mourn six years without her, and six years without justice or accountability.
Meme with four pictures, each on one corner 1st Picture, top left: An illustration of a person with a speech bubble saying "I just need to live through unprecedented times" with red pencil scribbled on their brain. 2nd Picture: An comic of a person laying in bed, looking a bit checked out. Over them is a thought bubble saying I just need to live through unprecedented times" 3rd Picture: The symbol for repeat, where there is text saying"live through unprecedented times" between each arrow. 4th Picture: The "are ya winning son" guy, a comic with a hat, saying "are u okay, bro?" walks into a room where most of it is scribbled with a black pen. In the corner of the image is a guy, also scribbled up, saying "yes I just need to live through unprecedented times".

Anyone who said Donald Trump was bad in 2016 can make merch claiming to have warned the unspecified "you". We don't have to let Hillary Clinton get that dollar. Gonna start making mugs detailing all the things I've been right about. Or maybe just leave it vague. Scott Warned You!
