A 21st century adaptation of the 10 of Swords. A woman lies on her side in a desolate landscape impaled by 10 swords, only she doesn't seem to notice her predicament as her attention is on the cell phone she is holding.

I've had this image tucked away on my hard drive for the past ten years. I found it again a couple of days ago and what do you know, - nothing has changed.
The 10 of Swords, - the 21st century version.

I think about this with the judiciary as well. I'm all for expanding the Court but even after court reform it could take decades to reimagine the jurisprudence of the Roberts Court on a lot of key issues, and it will take a bold vision and strategic litigation to do so.

We know that trans and nonbinary people experience violence in many forms, including domestic and sexual violence, at high rates. New research released by @pridestudy.org offers insights about ways that gender-affirming care can reduce symptoms of post-traumatic stress over time.

OR judge blast HHS Secy Kennedy for “wanton disregard” for the law and "cruelty" in restricting funding for kids' GAC adding “unserious leaders are unsafe.” He has prohibiting fed govt from superseding medical groups' Standards of Care.

Federal judge unloads on ‘unserious’ RFK Jr., says anti-trans policy showed his ‘cruelty’ Judge Mustafa T. Kasubhai vacated the “Kennedy Declaration,” finding it unlawfully attempted to override medical standards and restrict care for transgender youth.

Breaking: HHS’s ban on gender-affirming care is struck down. Rarely have I read a ruling this sharply worded.

“This case is one of a long list of examples of how a leader’s wanton disregard for the rule of law causes very real harm to very real people.”

We are living in a timeline so dumb it's exhausting.

You ever notice how in the Superman the Movie poster, he's got one fist out, and on Superman II he's got two fists out? Well BUCKLE UP, I gave him three and four fists for Superman III and Superman IV, respectively. Hilarious!

They're cowards for not doing this.

When you see beautiful pictures of half naked dudes, it’s called beefcake.
When you see beautiful pictures of half naked chicks, it’s called cheesecake.
I propose that beautiful pictures of half naked non-binary folks should be called cheesesteak.

If it reads like SEO driven copy I don't really care how it was generated.

Big tech didn't need LLMs to steal in mass, deliver shit results, violate privacy, and push dependency on data centers and centralized services.

I've been complaining about aggressively triangulated slop since before we called it slop. Most issues blamed on ai are business model problems that predate it.

My experience is this starts to make sense halfway through the third book. I didn't know if that meant it made sense or I was starting to think like the zone.

Watching Ted Lasso which has a lot to say about the contrast between love bombing and respect, in both sexual and professional relationships.

Often what gets described as romance looks like love bombing to me. Wickham was a serial predator after all.

Ishtar said: If you wear my robes I will make you fabulous. And you will be known as asushunamir, born from light and clothed in stars.

And the goddess said, "Shiva, if you're so hot shit why don't you do it yourself?"
