It is super cool that Mamdani won.

But also remember: Don't have any heros in politics. He's going to disappoint you all the fucking time. Cave to NYPD. Back off on some of his most firebrand campaign promises. Sell out to make compromises. That's the nature of politics.

@ellesaurus I've heard at least some anecdotes of a cis kid who was born in a state that has forbidden updating the birth certificate for any reason whatsoever, the birth certificate had a mistake, and now they're left in a weird gender limbo with the wrong gender marker on everything despite being cis.

When you're debating with yourself just how hard you want to go on dunking someone who just made a very stupid post...

Lukewarm take:

If your team is made up with a majority of men, but most of the documentation was written by people who aren't men, your team has a misogyny problem.

My firm opinion about Harry Potter is:

I want that entire media franchise to be a washed up, has been, culturally irrelevant piece of junk frankly nobody cares about anymore. They make some new series or video game or LEGO set, and people just ignore it. They don't they don't watch it they don't buy it, they don't get it from the library, they don't even pirate it.

Zilch. Nada.

Every single thing you do about Harry Potter, whether you spend money on it or not keeps it culturally relevant. It means people think about it. The buzz is there online so corps think that intellectual property still has value.

If you REALLY insist on watching it, you pirate it, and tell nobody whatsoever. Treat it as more embarrassing than your forbidden crush. That's it.

@oldladyplays

From what I recall, they have lower power density than Lithium ion, so they don't necessarily make as good of a candidate for EVs.

Wheeze
Laughing uproarious for another several minutes

I consider my business settled with all trans sisters. If anyone wants to reset things, unblock and move forward, am happy to do that.

No, it's not just swastikas they use to signal to one another... All us minorities and leftists aren't just making up shit when we say these are LITERALLY Nazis https://hatepedia.ca/guide/all/

I had to explain to yet another liberal the concept of Nazi dog whistles last week... It wasn't until I showed them things like https://hatepedia.ca/guide/explicit/hh and https://hatepedia.ca/guide/contextual/1488 that they understood the White House specifically bragging about installing 88 foot tall flag poles wasn't just a random number to pick the flag pole size out from the catalog.

Ugh, I really don't want to feel like crap for 1-2 days from a COVID and flu booster ... I know it's better than the alternative, but still sucks.

Botnet operators are just operators of a cloud data center they didn't buy.

Proposed rule:
Any book or movie or show that wants to portray a dystopian future has to put in both the front and back of every show:

"These this technology/this way of thinking is Evil and Bad and Wrong. These are the Bad Guys in the show. If you find yourself liking them and wanting to be like them, turn this show off right now. This is not a show for people with no moral compass."

Well, tbh, people can wear clothes from any gender they want ANYTIME. Guys in skirts and dresses can look awesome as hell. Women in suits 🤤 It doesn't matter. Wear what you want to wear.

Saw a crappy take about people "cross dressing" with their Halloween costumes.

People can wear clothes from any gender they want for Halloween. It doesn't have to mean anything at all. Some may be eggs wanting an "excuse" to try presenting as their gender. Maybe it's a cis person just having fun with fucking with gender stereotypes. Or someone wanting to try out drag. Or maybe it's someone who "lost a bet". Who knows. Their reasons are none of your business. Just complement them on their costume and move on.

Whenever possible, stop linking news stories that are behind paywall or registration wall. I'm never paying NYT or WaPo or any of the other fash rags a dime again ever.

When talking with someone who is a teacher, audiophile and kinky, you have to clarify which kind of sub you're talking about.

@Lana I half doubt he even bothered to remove the furniture and artwork.

Sometimes you just have to take categories of things and place them in the "sure, this thing is bad, and I oppose it. But also, all my spoons are used up already on all the other bad things, so I'll put that on my pile of bad things I'll let other people fight against, I've got a deal with my pile of bad things I want to fight against" pile.

sigh I saw another one today ...

For fucks sake, it is never any of your fucking business whether a non-binary person is AMAB or AFAB. You're either inclusive of all non-binary people, or you're a enbyphobic shithead.

@tillshadeisgone But Eva, don't you want to appear on dozens of podcasts a week too?!?
