If you think that the only thing wrong with the USA is that now they have a fascist president and a boer head eunuch, then let me tell you you're part of the problem. 4 months ago they had a Liberal government and they were funding and facilitating a genocide, passing legislation against "domestic terrorism", arming proxies on endless wars, and so on.
So no, Cheeto Mussolini and his sidekick Apartheid Emeralds boy are a symptom, not the illness.
The illness is called capitalism.
Being trans is demoralizing right now because we had a brief period where we were treated almost like human beings and then everyone abandoned us. Because our rights are "frivolous." There are too few of us. We don't matter. We're "weird," "gross," "fake." All any of us wanted was to live authentically and largely anonymously. And instead there's a giant fucking spotlight on us every single day, blaming us for Trump and reminding us we're not welcome. And our cis "allies" mostly don't care.

New hospital study: air purifiers cut airborne COVID by 98%. Rooms with HEPA ventilation had 0 virus detected. Clean air is essential public health infrastructure — not a luxury.

What.
Look, I occasionally share stuff from this guy, because his commentary on tech sometimes has some good points, but seriously, this is nonsense.
"Feel excited that your government was taking big, decisive action to tame the corporate behemoths"? What.
Dude, occasionally dragging a tiny concession out of the oligarchs is not "big, decisive action".
There are Debian Developers who use "AI" in programming and, even having been told all the downsides, insist on continuing to use it and that they are on the legal side.
Honestly, it’s a known fact that all the LLMs around (save for a few extremely small ones like the one Mo Zhou proposed) mass-violate copyright. I would have thought fellow Debin Developers trained enough in licence review (for their packaging work) to know that (or, he knows and deliberately decides to ignore it, which is even worse).
I won’t be naming (yet), but I’m appalled.
🤖 Producción de IA
"La producción de datos, concretamente de inteligencia artificial, no dista mucho de la producción capitalista de toda la vida", reflexiona @Atxe en su nueva viñeta.

Por cierto: que he ido a contar y son 14 los libros en los que he usado el lenguaje no binario para la traducción, ya fuera porque había personajes no binaries, le autore lo pedía o el mundo era tan queer y utópico que era lógico usarlo.
Por si alguien necesita recomendaciones, vaya.
I got to see a *male* calico cat today! This little kitten has XXY chromosomes, which happens in about 1 in 3,000 cats. Go intersex kitten, go!
The downside is that due to his genetics, he may develop health issues and not live for very long.
This kitten is looking for a furrever home. Call Rose City Vets in Portland, Oregon for more info if you want them to connect you to his foster home for adoption.
This lil sweetie is a total people person. He wants to be held all the time. He was sooo mad he was in a room without people to give him love and his tiny meows caught my attention. I got to hold him and he purred so much. This boy is spoiled with love.
Hey gringos, you're in the "the Taliban treats prisoners more humanly than the way you treat undocumented children" stage of fascism.
This won't be stopped by holding witty signs, strike, riot, burn shit up.
