So I’ve been using Microsoft Stream at work to auto-caption videos. Part of my job is quality assurance so I double-check the captions for errors.

One recent annoyance is that the captioning software censors some words, replacing them with asterisks. One word in particular that has been a thorn in my side is the word “nipple”. I have had to work on several BREASTFEEDING videos. Needless to say, I’ve been retyping in the word “nipple” a lot.

Come to today, I’m working on a video about transgender and non-binary folks. The speaker said, “There is no such thing as straight sex and gay sex.” Lo and behold Microsoft in their infinite wisdom decided to censor the words “gay sex”. “Straight sex” is uncensored.

I’m fucking livid, but I have no real way to contact Microsoft on this. But, mark it down and spread the word, Microsoft are fucking homophobic prudes.

If Celeste taught me anything it's that if you're trans you get a double jump and if you're plural you get an additional one

I'm not even sorry.

Antifascist groups and working-class communities across the UK are mobilizing to defend themselves in the face of racist attacks spurred on by viral far-Right misinformation, pushed by neo-Nazi groups, far-Right influencers, and elites like Elon Musk, following the tragic murder of three children in late July.

Violent attacks have taken place across the country, including the attempted arsoning of two hotels housing migrants.

Check out our roundup of reports on mobilizations of community self-defense from anarchist and antifascist groups across the UK here:

4 hours ago Dragoneer died.

He died struggling against the US health care system that viewed him as a nuisance. He was actively denied the help he needed. Help that could have meant he'd be alive now.

You can see his struggle here: https://bsky.app/profile/boringkeith.bsky.social/post/3kz3ydmc3jk2s

In mourning, we owe it to him to share his story, and do whatever we can to make sure this never happens again.

At the very least, make sure that people pay attention.

Fursuit surprise! The new #protogen tries ... making beer! Protogens are trendy, and craft beer is trendy, so combining the two must also be? Isolectra on Twitch. #fursuit #furry #furrystreamer #twitchstreamer #livevirtaaja #gaming

OK. I'm done with summer. I'm officially pining for autumn. Gimmie cold weather and pumpkin spice!!!

hi european friends!! 🇪🇺

Stop Killing Games is an initiative committed to helping end the growing trend of video games dying as a result of losing first-party support. an EU petition has recently opened up in support of this goal, and it only takes a minute or two to fill out!

SKG's goals are, as excerpt from their website:
- Require video games sold to remain in a working state when support ends.
- Require no connections to the publisher after support ends.
- Not interfere with any business practices while a game is still being supported.

you can support this cause by signing the EU petition through the link below! 💕

elon's daughter is not here for her dad's bullshit.

I'm sorry; I can't stop laughing.

Apparently at least 6 big companies won't insure Tesla's $80k+ Cybertruck in some states. Partly because they're so incredibly expensive to repair, and partially because parts are only available directly from Tesla and they're very expensive. Plus the liability of a vehicle that is marketed as being rigid so as to protect the passengers - the part not said out loud is that it does so at the expense of the people in the other vehicle.

In those states the only viable insurance is from Tesla. That's right, Tesla. Otherwise, they can't be driven & they can't be sold. Which might not be so bad except Tesla's policy is expensive and Tesla gets real time constant surveillance of driving habits AND ADJUST RATES ACCORDINGLY.

Also? The states where nobody will insure the Cybertruck & the 12 states where Tesla is licensed to sell insurance ARE NOT THE SAME STATES. NY, for instance.

I can't see why Cybertruck owners would complain though; it seems like a Libertarian dream to me!
