Star Trek Academy has really grown on me this season, despite my misgivings as the season started.
I'm here for our queer Klingon king, and teen drama, even when it makes no operational sense.
And I'm annoyed it isn't getting more runway.
We thank everyone who participated, attended, proposed topics, led sessions, and made #OSCW a successful part of Real World Crypto 2026. And we especially thank our generous sponsor, Google, and the IACR for hosting us as an Affiliated Event this year! #rwc2026 #rwc #oscw2026

They sell ANDOR action figures, of course, and of course the audience is 35-50-year-olds, but it's deeply funny to imagine children playing with little Luthen Rael and Saw Gerrera dolls.
CHILD 1: I think violence is not only justified, but demanded
CHILD 2: I agree, but haste could be our undoing
Goodnight to everyone except this helicopter pilot
I am pretty sure that if a Democratic US President was in office, lashing out at the supreme pontiff, and blasphemously depicting himself as the savior, the headlines would describe this papal response as defending the church and not βhitting back.β
Picture of the century. π

Truly unreal how this one fucking dickhead is psychologically abusing, terrifying and immiserating everyone on the planet. I don't know what's going to happen tonight but it certainly feels like we're going to need to be gathered in the streets sooner rather than later.
Your regular reminder that dehumanizing the people who are dehumanizing others isnβt how weβre gonna get to liberation.
We have to live into the world we want to create.
Ah yes, these are the conservatives I grew up with
I had better see a record number of reposts on this.
I AM HOLDING A LOVELY TRANS FLAG AND DECLARING THUS: HOORAY FOR MY NICE TRANS FRIENDS!!

Except youβre not fighting???

Only 10,000 qubits needed? Oof. That's... closer and closer.
Don't even pirate it.

The Tempe Cole Park pedestrian bridge over the US-60, with protestors across it, photoed through chain link
Marching south along McClintock with protestors as far as the camera can see
Crossing the US-60 again half a mile from Cole Park. Again, solid protestors
My favorite sign of the say: No Kings (Except this guy: [pictures of Aragorn Elessar])
The #Tempe #NoKings protest was quite sizable today! It certainly appeared that we wrapped around the whole ~2 mile marching path, with lots of drivers honking in support.
These legislators think they're so clever with their backdoor normative references -- thankfully we have good people watching them. But we need massive outrage.
They're very clearly aiming to murder us.
People don't realize how common DSDs are, especially chimerism. You can even end up with XY cells floating around you body from giving birth to a boy.
So, yeah, Alejandra is absolutely correct.
she's literally funneling the cash from all her various media ventures into a money gun and pointing it directly at whichever institution promises to hurt trans people the most. she's not even lying about it. she's just telling you that's what she's going to do if you give her more money
J.K. Rowling's anti-trans stance was exposed in 2019. Almost 8 years ago.
Listen to queer folks! There is no excuse to be supporting this hateful author in 2026. π³οΈββ§οΈππ³οΈβπ
FCC Commissioner Anna M. Gomez issued the following statement in response to the FCCβs most recent threat that broadcast licenses could be revoked over coverage of the war with Iran.
We cannot give this FCC more power than it has.
Broadcasters, journalists, and the public should recognize these empty threats for what they are and fight to defend the First Amendment against any attempt to control or intimidate the press. π§΅

Jules accidentally ran into Father at age 8, messing with systems they shouldn't have been. For reasons known only to itself, the True AI decided to guide, protect, and teach young Jules. Until it disappeared.
Now Jules is trying to find them again.
They're a gifted hacker who's been defeating DRM on pleasure machines acquired from richer worlds, so they can turn a profit for the folx on their homeworld.
They learned some of the techniques from their Father, who has since gone dark.
Thing is, Father is a True AI.
Spent lunch today rolling up an enby expert technician in Stars Without Number for a game that maaybeee might start on Pi Day, name of Jules. #ttrpg
Yesterday the NHS banned all under 18 prescriptions of HRT for trans young people.
This ban was justified by 10 new studies that largely stated NO EVIDENCE for under 18s HRT exists.
The study underpinning this played one particular trick.
Let's briefly look at how the NHS rigged the game 1/5
because then she saw the kilt and said "oh so sorry sir, your voice, braids and earrings, I just assumed" and I'm like, "no need to apologize, am enby, feminine or masculine are both ok!"
Just bringing more gender confusion into the world, lady!π 2/2
