I was wrong about Google and Facebook: there’s nothing wrong with them (so say we all) https://ar.al/2019/01/11/i-was-wrong-about-google-and-facebook-theres-nothing-wrong-with-them-so-say-we-all/

one of the worst fuckin' parts of the way gamer culture has metastasized into this amorphous blob of chanboard bigotry, harassment, and general fuckwaddery is that it makes it impossible to have actual critical discussions about content because it will inevitably morph into a 'debate' about the stupidest possible element of it where the opposing side refuses to entertain any argument that isn't hooting racist catchphrases and queerphobic dogwhistles

its out of touch thursdays!

OMORI trailer dropped this morning and look at this Dragon Playground friend..................

The high court has just outlawed puberty blockers for trans people undergoing puberty.

Presumably children with "precocious puberty" will still be allowed to access them - at least I hope so.

This has happened because terfs were able to groom a vulnerable de-transitioner and alarm her with medically unfounded fears about fertility.

The way forward passes through the ECHR, but also something needs to be done about terfs.

Also, people who de-transition need more and better support. Some of them are traumatised and vulnerable. I think it's on us to make sure that people have room to experiment and play with gender, but also to have support and safe landings if they decide they're cis after all. What this means in practice is not totally clear to me, but they need to at least be welcome in queer spaces. This is a tiny number of people, but they do need support and respect and, alas, if they get groomed by terfs, they can be weaponised in away that almost certainly doesn't benefit them, but undoubtedly makes things worse for trans people.

It is deeply frustrating that many trans kids will be subject to a known hazard so that a smaller number of people can avoid an imaginary hazard of something that's been demonstrated to be safe.

I don't know law, but it sounds like if the court thinks kids can't consent to stop a traumatising puberty, that means that importing blockers for them is also illegal,

most gender-affirming thing I’ve read in ages

reading an article from the economist and

> Tools that Silicon Valley has produced, such as email, video conferencing and messaging, make it possible to work remotely, which will help more companies expand in less expensive states.

damn, didn't know that ARPANET (email), Luxembourg (Skype), and Israel (ICQ) were part of Silicon Valley now
