- The Defense Department will begin screening troops for gender dysphoria during routine and periodic medical check-ups as it looks to remove transgender people from serving, according to a new memo: media.defense.gov/2025/May/15/...
- I am very much looking forward to the first company being forced by the courts to honour a special offer that Netflix' advert-generation model just invented out of whole cloth.
- Move fast. Break things. Realise you’ve broken things. Try and make a loose pile out of the bits, that from a distance looks like the old things. Before the broken times. To please the gods. Much cargo. To bring good harvest. arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025...

- Reposted by AndrewI really, strongly, support this. It really is true that they need to hear more from us. We need to be RELENTLESS

- Reposted by Andrew"We'll just terraform Mars," they insist, unable to terraform Earth, a planet that is already perfect except it's like 2° too warm.
- Reposted by AndrewWe're time traveling back to 1997 today, when WISYWIG editors were all the rage. In the decades since, web technology has clawed its way from that primitive state with semantic HTML that made accessibility possible and let content drive appearance rather than vice-versa. Then Figma blew it all up.

- Reposted by Andrewone of the Christian influencers I follow on instagram posted a video about how she worries people are using Chat GPT like it is god and someone left this comment and it has been stuck in my mind ever since

- Reposted by AndrewThe radical right-wing legislature in Utah passed a bill that banned public schools and buildings from flying pride flags. But they are still allowed to fly city flags. So check out Salt Lake City’s newly adopted city flags.
- It's weird to me that this article doesn't seem at all curious about what actually happened — if the "victim's" statement was written by AI then that's appalling and should be banned, but if it was written by the family and then just presented as a video using AI then I don't think I care very much.

- The Pulitzer Prize for illustrated reporting and commentary goes to @anntelnaes.bsky.social, for various works that appeared in The Washington Post. This is her third Pulitzer recognition.

- Reposted by AndrewAbsolutely insane. Uneblieveable. "Sex Matters", one of the hate groups responsible for removing trans people's rights via the Supreme Court are arguing that trans people shouldn't be allowed to transition because they don't have rights and not having rights is bad. Fucking hell
- Not sure what the deal is with Polygon, but it sounds like someone bought it and then laid off everything that gave it any value, so I guess the question is, does Second Wind have enough money to do the very funny thing?

- Can't believe I got turned away from the polling station on some flimsy excuse about "Manchester is not holding council or mayoral elections this year". When I demanded to know if it was because I was wearing a trans pride pin, they accused me of "interrupting mass" 😡😡😡
- Reposted by AndrewWrote about this many years ago on Twitter, but your actual goal should be 5 trains/buses an hour - so a 12 minute interval. This breaks a couple of important psychological barriers for people, based on research by TfL (London's transport operator). Will explain. 🧵 /1
- I think people have a kind of Gell-Mann amnesia towards LLMs — like, they can think "AI is bad at things I am good at and know about, but good at things I can't judge because I'm bad at them" Tech bros think AI is good at everything, including coding, and that's because they are also bad at coding
- Reminder that women don't use ChatGPT because they are competent at their jobs and can tell that it's doing a shit job. bsky.app/profile/gwen...
- current dumb project: what if we rebuilt the entire concept of 8-bit assembly code in bash?
- Reposted by AndrewI feel like it’s being overlooked that a policy based on the idea that kids are autistic, not trans, is essentially saying that autistic kids don’t know themselves enough to consent to healthcare. This is making a loophole that will make autistic kids exempt from Gillick competence. It’s dystopian.
- When you find yourself saying something like "the average person doesn't know the difference between a graduate visa and a small boat", an objectively very funny sentence, it should be a prompt to take a step back and reconsider your position
- "On the doorstep people don’t make a distinction between graduate visas & small boats" This is: a) objectively wrong (plenty of polling evidence) b) suggests utter contempt for electorate's thought processes c) is a dreadful way to make policy Otherwise fine www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

- So some time last year I had a bit of an argument with a pub irregular who turned out to be a transphobe. Nobody sided with her, so I just moved on and have avoided talking to her since. Whatever.
