Can Stonewall Mark II put trans wars behind it?
New chair talks of consensus but she’ll have a tough job unpicking charity’s bullying stance
Kathleen Stock

In the history of gay rights, there have always been fearless souls willing to face down mobs of pitchfork-wielding fanatics, but perhaps none so brave as Kezia Dugdale, incoming chair of trustees at Stonewall. In an interview with The Guardian this weekend, the former Scottish Labour leader did the unthinkable and praised JK Rowling.

Tweet by Martina Navratilova. "Predator. That is how he should register. A sexual predator…" quote-tweeting a tweet by "Biology Rules OK" about Dr. Beth Upton, a trans woman

This tweet is highly defamatory and Martina Navratilova should be fired from BBC Sport for it.

It demonstrates an horrendous level of hatred for a trans woman (who was cleared of all wrongdoing in a recent tribunal) because she is a trans woman.

Telling people about the good, useful use cases for AI is kinda like telling people about the 30-50 feral hogs you need your AR-15 for

It is entirely true and yet so completely divorced from the lived experience of your audience that you sound ridiculous

Honestly one of the biggest problems with cars is that ultimately the product isn't a transportation tool but rather a psychological one, creating the illusion that you have control over your life even as you slot into a chaotic system that can easily kill you even if you do everything right.

I haven't commented on Palantir specifically but their actions are clearly in line with the rise of corporate giants as significant actors in the world order which is routinely under-discussed by pieces that only focus on what national governments do. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

And there's no physical place where all that wealth is being held. Musk doesn't have a castle loaded down with gold and jewels or money anyone could attack or seize to cripple him. They love the Cloud because it is ephemeral, and as such all their wealth and power can live there worry-free.
