This reality check by Rebecca Solnit grabs you right from the killer first sentence. Do yourself a favor & give it a read.

This is a real victory, so a 🧵 from @transnews.network, with some more on how it happened, and some lessons...

A graphic that has the following words; each line is a different color on a black background: IN THIS HOUSE, WE BELIEVE WOMEN UNLESS THEY ACCUSE SOMEONE WE SUPPORT OR THE TIMING IS KINDA WEIRD ALSO REPUBLICANS GET AWAY WITH IT ALL THE TIME MAYBE WE SHOULD TOO * * * * * The graphic is made to look like the yard signs that have a list of slogans that are lefty/squishy/co-opted ("In this house, Black lives matter, we believe in science, love is real") and that are sometimes seen as a marker of people who say the right things but don't vote or act accordingly/blue wave maga/"libs"/etc.

what I'm hearing

I went from gay one way to gay the other. Was a weird transition.

And I'm talking about LLMs. You know I'm talking about LLMs.

This is what your "I only use AI for fun/a little" is still contributing to.

anyone who says people opposing data centers are just nimbys need to stop echoing industry propaganda and see what it’s actually like to live near one

@hntdove.bsky.social robbed this from Facebook. Right up a history buff's alley.

I Have No Assistant and I Must Scream
