Love this. Dozens of trans men are entering the Miss Italy pageant.

"Miss Italy has historically allowed only people who were assigned female at birth to enter".

So to protest trans exclusion, dozens of trans men are entering. To quote one entrant: “They are so focused on biology and bodies, and it’s often forgotten that there are people inhabiting those bodies.”

not webrings, not ipfs, but a new, third thing: you republish your friends' websites.

i think we need a new world wide web that doesn't rely on archival services to preserve things. the fact that publishing something online does not create a permanent copy anywhere is troublesome. what if we moved to a syndication model, where mirroring is the norm, and automatic?

apropos of nothing, irregular reminder to replace fonts.google.com or fonts.googleapis.com with fonts.bunny.net anywhere that you use it

it's a drop-in replacement that is privacy-respecting and isn't fucking google

i generally prefer to embed my own fonts and trim them down to just characters i need, but this is markedly better than staying on google and requires basically no effort

The longer the WGA and Sag AFTRA strikes last, the more movie studios are going to turn to video game news outlets to promote their struck works for them.

That "controller that smells like a food product" news story this week is the kind of story they'll use to get promo.

A friend attending #ICML just sent me a photo of this front runner for best poster award.

It's official now
