The Supreme Court’s Anti-Trans Ruling Goes Well Beyond Sports
The ruling is about whether trans people have the same rights as everybody else—and the Court said they don’t.

Back in the '90s during the dot-com boom and the first wave of CCTV (e.g ring of steel), I used to joke about offering a PCR (personal city recorder) service, where you could watch any street and follow any person as a form of entertainment.

Amazing, blåhaj now has a manual! But it's not a manual for assembling your friendly plush shonk, but instead, a trans 101 manual for cis folk, telling them how they can be supportive of the trans people in their life!

"Niemal 2 mln osób żyje poniżej minimum egzystencji. I to nie tak, że te osoby po prostu „żyją skromnie”, ale że podstawy ich biologicznego przetrwania są zagrożone". A to tylko początek złych informacji...

I've heard this story before.

They'll try, fail, then sue for water rights.

W nawiązaniu do tego wątku https://eupolicy.social/@panoptykon/116844894554843490: nie napisaliśmy, dlaczego warto korzystać z #RSS, podświadomie wychodząc z założenia, że tu nie trzeba. Ale jeśli ktoś szuka argumentów, to idealnie @eff wpasowała się z tematem

“PIRATING” IS A CAPITALIST FRAME

don’t be a cop.

If buying isn't ownership then p̶i̶r̶a̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ SHARING isn't stealing

If buying doesn't create ownership, then p̶i̶r̶a̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ SHARING doesn't destroy it.

SHARING is anticapitalist and antifa because sharing is caring.

Reporter: "Can you explain the CRASH Clock metric and Kessler Syndr-"

Me: "MMMEEEEEEHHHHH! Baaaaahhhh!!!"

Reporter: "How do you feel about Starlink?"

Me: "Baaaaahhhhhhhh! Mmmmeehhhhhh!"

Pretty good interview plan, actually.

The future of privacy may come down to a very awkward sentence:

“Yes, I do mind. Please turn it the fuck off.”

@cwebber beautifully written, thank you!

I'm a silly furry creature on the Internet. I'm pan. I have a trans partner. The bulk of my friends and family are queer and/or neurodivergent.

I am fucking TERRIFIED of the idea that I might have to choose between my actual life and a "work safe" persona to do basic things like "maintain a bank account" and "own property" and "have access to medical care".

And that's exactly the direction a closed, age-verified, ID-required internet is taking us. Make no mistake about it, it's not about protecting children or eliminating fraud (the first clue should be that the proponents of these bills are mostly child rapists and/or virulent fraudsters).

It's about documenting, monitoring, and eventually unpeopling "undesirables".

And the definition of "undesirables" can change with one stroke of a pen.

If bots are running the #stockmarket with no grip on reality, well, it's no wonder the #AI bubble is so huge.

Reminder. It's #SkaDay
