Sure. How much do you think you should pay me to use my name? It's really important to think about attribution and think about impersonation, and so on. As an expert, you have a trade you make on the internet. The idea is that when you put content out there, myself included, you hope people use it. You want to refer to other people's content. You want people to link to you. You really, really hope they attribute you when they do. When somebody uses your content, should they attribute you? Of course. And to attribute you, you have to use your name. There's a different line which is, should people be able to impersonate you? And I think that is a very different standard. And we saw the lawsuit. Respectfully, we believe the claims are without merit. The idea that the feature is impersonation is quite a big stretch. Every mention was very clearly, "This is inspired not only by this person, but also inspired by a specific work from this specific person, with a clear attributed link to get back to them." It's far from that test lof impersonation].

Here’s my interview with Shishir Mehotra, the CEO behind Grammarly’s “expert review” feature which attributed writing advice to people - including me lol - without permission. Or, as you will hear us talk about a lot, compensation. www.theverge.com/podcast/8987...

I don’t post here a lot but that’s more because I find it peaceful here.

X is the battleground where I go to tear into rightoid. I don’t debate them - just troll. Not about winning - just about exhausting them and stealing their time.

Dear Mr. Smith,

I’m going to ask you a bunch of nonsensical questions, but you are not allowed to answer any of them because I’m going to keep answering them myself with lies.

Not so sincerely,
Crazy lady Representative

I want to fall in love again

We all know it was never about the law or what is legal

It’s all good - I don’t post much, i mostly just read articles posted here by journalists etc

Yeah

Finally had my main account in X permanently suspended

i have basically no interest in people mocking the mom protests lol, every criticism is just “the energy would be better spent on this other thing, that i will not be doing anything about”

Pew Survey: Only 31% Of Trans People Report Being Accepted By Their Parents The survey comes as transgender people experience a legal assault from the far-right in the United States.

One of the most perverse ideas on the anti-trans side is that trans people are instantly affirmed and celebrated by everyone when they come out and that acceptance is driving a social contagion.

It's the ultimate form of gaslighting against our community.

This morning, an attack carried out by Israeli forces killed Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) staff member, Omar Hayek, and seriously injured four others. The attack took place on a street where our teams were waiting to take a bus to the MSF field hospital in Deir al Balah, Gaza. All staff were wearing MSF vests, clearly identifying them as medical humanitarian workers. We express deep sorrow and outrage over the killing, which occurs less than two weeks after another MSF colleague, Hussein Alnajjar, was killed by the Israeli forces, in Deir Al Balah. Our thoughts are with Omar’s family and colleagues at this tragic time. Omar, 42 years old, is the fourteenth MSF colleague to be killed in Gaza since 7 October 2023.

MSF staff are universally understood to be engaged in an essentially sacred form of work. For a state to nonetheless continuously murder them is a testament to a truly unthinkable degree of depravity.

A tweet from Oversight Project (@ItsYourGov) shows a screenshot of an Advocate article. The tweet text says: “This is an example of an element of TIVE rhetoric coming from @Harvard Professor Alejandra Caraballo @Esqueer_in the @TheAdvocateMag. The notion that opposing Transgender Ideology is a form of violence (‘eradication’ here) leads people to justify violence.” The screenshot highlights a quote from Alejandra Caraballo criticizing a Heritage Foundation policy proposal: “They want us all eradicated.”

The Heritage Foundation is going after me this morning calling me a terrorist because I am accurately stating what they are intending to do. Michael Knowles at CPAC explicitly called for the "eradication of transgenderism."

I'll continue to speak the truth of what is being done to my community.

I would strongly encourage my cis friends to read these. I am not exaggerating when I say the last ~6 months or so has been an endless cycle of watching things become materially worse/more harmful every week or so and just having to go to work or whatever and go make small talk.

conservatives/republicans going full on fascist with occupying cities with the military is yet another reminder to NEVER TAKE CONSERVATISM SERIOUSLY. THEIR CRITICISMS AREN'T REAL. YOU CAN'T MEET THEM HALF WAY. THEY AREN'T A SERIOUS IDEOLOGY. THEY CAN ONLY BE CRUSHED, NOT DEBATED.

thank you.

this is a great example of what happens when unserious, nihilistic people get in charge of actual institutions whose ostensible job it is to provide real services to real people. these people are LARPing their way through everything. trolling as govt bc they have no respect for the work of it.

So got ghosted by a guy in fb dating. Guys wanna fuck a tranny and keep it a dirty secret.

I’m tired of being disposable

It’s a shame that Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves hasn’t gotten more attention - it’s so goooood

Hello 😊

Wish I someone to talk to. Oh well guess I’ll just smoke and listen to music

Cynthia Olivera is a Canadian who’s been living in the US since she was 10 She’s in ICE custody, after being grabbed at her green card interview. The 45 year old wife & mother has been moved between facilities while her husband begs ICE to let her get on a plane to Canada. 🧵 They’re willing to pay. She’s willing to leave. But she can’t escape. This is why we call them concentration camps. There’s no due process. Some people go in and never come out.

Reports that a Canadian citizen who has resided in the US since age 10 was abducted at a green card interview.

Her husband is begging ICE to let him fly her back to Canada and they refuse to release her.

The patriarchal crusade against sexed autonomy coincides with the immigration 'crisis' and "replacement" natalist panics because this has always been about reproduction, segregation, the ghettoization of populations on a national and indeed international level, about citizens and undercastes.
