Let's begin with this: the more we deny the reality around us, the easier it becomes to allow greater catastrophe to happen. Being hyperaware of all the destruction around without clear abilities to defeat some of it also pulls in a bad direction, though. So I'm sure the solution is somewhere in the order of "find the thing you want to push back on and shove hard, while trusting that the people shoving on the other parts are also doing the same." It can feel impossible until it is done, though, when it seems like all of the people who could make these lifts easier are instead trying to push down on them because it's more profitable to them to screw us over than help us out.
I Will Fucking Piledrive You If You Mention AI Again is a perfect summary of just how much bullshit there is around the idea of LLMs and AI and how few people will actually need or want to use such things. And that those people who do need or want to use such things already know they need or want them, and for what purposes. Therefore, all the other people who are either being hustled or trying to do hustling should cease or risk wrath and well-executed professional wrestling moves.
A case for using the idea of "gender modality" when asking about the relationship a person has to the gender (or lack thereof) assigned to them at birth, rather than "gender identity," which is about what a person is right at that moment. I like language and concepts that can render more accurate views of the world and the beings on them, so this was a useful thing to hear.
Donald Sutherland, a person with so many roles across so many different genres and styles, passed on at 88 years of age. He was one of the ones that was everywhere, and he made every role he had good.

Last for tonight, Due to the way that Unicode rules work about the addition of diacritical marks, it is possible to create the phenomenon known as corrupted text or zalgotext. And because it is a known manner of working with rules of Unicode, the corruption can be undone or blocked as well.
And a man with trisomy 21 and a multi-million dollar fun socks business. (They've got king size offerings, which might mean that if I want to expand my sock designs, I actually can find some that will fit nicely.)
