David Tennant, of Dr Who fame, apparently said some pro trans things and now the TERFs are going after him on Twitter. His response is that he isn't worried because, and I quote, "I'll be fine, Terfs can't climb stairs"

Anna Muzychuk is champion & queen of chess. She refused to play in Saudi Arabia.”I refuse to play with special rules, like wearing an Abaya, being accompanied by a man to leave the hotel. Will lose 2 world titles. It’s unfortunate, but I can’t feel like I’m a 2nd class person.

It is really unfair that roosters are the only ones allowed to start the day by screaming.

I saw someone argue that shitposters can't succeed on Mastodon because their posts won't go viral due to the lack of an algorithm.

As a counterpoint to their belief I would like to introduce exhibit A, whatever the hell this account is.

My new social media app is called Grouse. You can only post criticism of the 3,000 other new social media apps.

Posts are called “Gripes.” No likes or reposts—just one button to “Commiserate.” If a Gripe receives enough Commiseration it’s elevated by the algorithm into a “Complaint.”

Also there’s an academic version called “Faculty Meeting.”

Literally every argument about AI risk is entirely made up from exactly nothing. All the terminology is fart-huffing. It has the same evidentiary basis as a story about floopflorps on Gavitron9 outcompeting nuubidons.

The Supreme Court: Thank you for bringing this to our attention, we will now make it illegal for gay people to vote.

As an American, one of the things that gives me a feeling of kinship with the Ukrainian people is their courage in refusing to accept a future determined for them by Putin, and their resolve in fighting for their freedom despite the odds. That includes fighting to make a free country for all Ukrainians, including marginalized ones from their LGBTQ communities.

It saddens me that @timkmak lost subscribers because he highlighted the stories of Ukraine's LGBTQ community in his reporting. I've subscribed and encourage others to do so, too.

could have spent a full year spitballing how musk was going to kill Twitter and couldn’t have come up with anything close to the unbelievable dipshittery of “users can only read 600 tweets a day” like, what do they put in billionaire cocaine anyway

“A Kansas woman says she was ordered to leave the restroom at Wichita Public Libary's central branch after taking her nonverbal and disabled adult son into it with her, reports The Topeka Capital-Journal. Kansas recently banned people from using bathrooms and other spaces not designated for their assigned birth sex, a law plainly targeted at trans and intersex women but also useful for keeping disabled people and their opposite-sex carers at bay.”
