The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention releases its third red flag alert warning about genocide of trans people in the US https://www.lemkininstitute.com/red-flag-alerts/red-flag-alert---anti-trans-genocide-in-the-usa---%233

> The Administration has moved from identifying transgender people as a threat to the family and to the nation’s military prowess to claiming that transgender people constitute a cosmic threat to the spiritual health of the nation and the greatest direct threat to U.S. national security in the world. Given these ideological developments, especially coupled with the increasingly hostile and draconian legislation against trans identities, the Lemkin Institute believes that the United States is squarely within the early to middle stages of a genocidal process against trans people, the goal of which is to completely erase transgender people not only from public life but also from existence in the U.S. and globally.
😵 🤯 Last year a #Meta Lobbyist became a new head of the #Irish Data Protection Commission (DPC). Today, the former head of the DPC announced that she is now working for MHC - the Irish law firm for Meta that was previously defending Meta before the #DPC in #GPDR cases - basically a 360° seat swap between the Irish regulator and Meta.
This is not just extreme #CorporateCapture of a regulator and makes #Ireland a laughing stock within the EU, but moves like this also undermine any public...

The Daily Wire has a piece out scaremongering about DIY HRT for adults. I'm not going to link to it, you can find it if you choose. They're trying to push for the FDA to go after people doing DIY HRT.
But much worse is this:

In a footnote, the court states, "While Skrmetti involved sex-change treatments for minors, disagreement among experts about the efficacy and necessity of transgender surgeries extends to treatment of gender dysphoria in adults."

It is the ten year anniversary of my PyConUS 2016 keynote. I had hoped to attend this year to visit old friends and make new ones.
With no corporate sponsor, the cost in money, time, and effort is too much. My cancer treatment will not end until July. While my daily chemo drugs are self administered, they are considered hazardous. The rules tell me that they must be under lock and key while traveling.
No matter how I fiddle numbers, the logistics just don't work out.
Maybe 2027 will be my year.

@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber I'd just like to put in my two cents and say: fuck
빰!!!!!쑨!!!아-!!!!!!!(무사집도착)
Thinking about one of the least helpful comments I ever got. In response to someone saying "Well, all this Spritely stuff seems interesting, but will anyone ever really get it? Could any of the things you're working on really take off?"
To which I had said: "When we were working on ActivityPub, it wasn't obvious that it was going to succeed, and a lot of people told me the whole concept of a decentralized social networking spec is ridiculous. And Jessica Tallon and I, who both worked on ActivityPub, are working on Spritely."
To which they said: "Yeah, well lightning doesn't usually strike twice, so is it really likely you'll succeed again?"
Like WTF dude
@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber it does if you pick the right hill to stand on, duh

The notion of a broken clock being sometimes right is based on a gross misunderstanding of what information is.
A clock that always shows the same time is never right, even in the moments of the day when the time happens to be what it shows, because you don't gain any information about what time it is by looking at the clock.
This reasoning also applies to chatbots. If you can't tell whether what you have been given is useful information unless you alreay know the information, then you haven't been given useful information.

When the hacker expressed disgust at the child abuse images on the server and threatened to report them to the FBI, agents had to get into a video chat with the hacker to convince him they WERE the FBI.
We continue to live in the stupidest possible timeline.

Do you think I want to be this angry about where technology is going? Screaming every day about a barren future the elites want more than life itself?

There isn't a blog post I can link to, but apparently "experts" who have written to Grammarly about its new "expert review" feature have been told that they are rolling it back and rethinking it. I hope they rethink it right into the ground.

Hello. I got asked to write a little piece for QX Magazine about growing up queer, the impact that has on my writing, and on how we all sometimes feel like we're from elsewhere.
I'd love for you to read it.

"The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention and Human Security is releasing this third Red Flag Alert for the USA related to the Trump Administration’s anti-trans initiatives, which have continued to expand nationwide since our last Red Flag Alert (RFA) on this subject. Over the eight months since the second RFA’s publication, the Republican Party’s anti-trans agenda has radicalized and continued to intensify. [...] The Administration has moved from identifying transgender people as a threat to the family and to the nation’s military prowess to claiming that transgender people constitute a cosmic threat to the spiritual health of the nation and the greatest direct threat to U.S. national security in the world."
