I know it sucks to hear this, but you can't replace therapy with kink

Mac OS 9 DVD player application which is literally a circular window with various other very rounded controls in it, there's not a single straight line in sight.

T is OK for cis women but not trans men.

Puberty blockers are OK for cis kids but illegal for trans kids.

You see it, right? You see what this is?

SICARIO is a weird case tbh where I think there's a tension between the screenplay (which thinks Alejandro and Matt are cool guys) and the actual movie as directed by Villenueve (which clearly thinks they are the villains)

Second, the percentage of Jews that don’t recognize the Talmud in addition to the Tanakh is quite small.

Karaite Judaism, the name associated with this idea, peaked at ~10% of the Jewish population in the medieval era and is under 0.5% today.

First, the Talmud predates Zionism by over a millennium and the Mishnah by closer to two millennia. It’s not a Zionist work, and is used as an authority by Zionists and non-/anti-Zionists alike.

I’m so very confused by fact that many people seemingly think that (1) the Talmud is a Zionist book disproportionately followed by Zionists and (2) a significant percentage of religious Jews don’t ‘follow’ the Talmud.

First, stop it. We are <constantly> looking in the mirror & if you haven’t done any of the trainings or gone to any of the talks/meeting about that, I can’t help you.

Second, we don’t have time. We’re constantly meeting about how to survive as 25% of our budget is illegally cut off by the fascists.

This is the core issue with LLMs in every industry. The valid, nondestructive use cases can’t support the level of investment in the companies driving the industry. Not are they exciting to executives who primarily want to disempower labor. So those use cases are seen as a waste of time.

She was cleared off any wrongdoing! She did nothing wrong except exist as a trans person and draw the ire of a racist and transphobic bigot who was bankrolled by JK Rowling to destroy this woman's life. It's endlessly infuriating.

This is just horrific. The gender critical movement along with the British press bullied her out of her job at the NHS and now they doxed her after she fled the country and are continuing the harassment and defamation. These people are absolute monsters.

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.

Fidel Castro is Justin Trudeau’a father

Advice for @erc.europa.eu :

Prohibit the use of LLMs for grant writing. Let applicants sign a declaration that they have not used such systems and that the text is written by them and them alone.

‘Will they kill us too?’ Murder of leading feminist has chilling effect on Iraq’s activists Yanar Mohammed’s assassination comes amid a number of killings, as fellow campaigners warn women’s rights are going backwards

'Speaking to the Guardian and Jummar Media, women in Iraq say the murders have had a chilling effect on their ability to speak out at a time when women’s rights and freedoms in the country are going backwards.'

Not just in Iraq, the 'going backwards'.

Also I feel strongly that NEITHER preparing children for exams NOR preparing children for the workplace are / should be the main purpose of education actually!

« Une violation des droits humains » : la junte birmane restreint l’accès aux serviettes hygiéniques, suspectées d’être détournées par les rebelles

Pour lutter contre la résistance armée, rien de tel que de s’en prendre aux droits des femmes. C’est apparemment le point de vue de la junte militaire au pouvoir en Birmanie, qui vient de réduire drastiquement l’accès aux protections périodiques et aux serviettes...

I, for one, welcome our new all-inclusive-cruise-organizing overlords.
