I've spent the last two months putting together this exhaustive analysis of the New York Times coverage of trans people. It covers 3,242 articles over 12 years. In 2022, the NYT shifted towards a hostile stance towards trans people in their framing. www.thedissident.news/exclusive-ho...

In a Hitleresque speech, JD Vance says there can be no unity with the left and vows to use the government to dismantle non-profit NGOs and liberal civil society who he says promote violence and terrorism.

You guys put podcast hosts in charge of the FBI and fired all the competent agents because you thought they were woke.

"You basement dwelling incels merely adopted outrage and backlash, I was born in it, molded by it." -Christopher Nolan

This is a case where everyone knows what is actually going on here but if a judge were to openly admit it, it would throw the judicial system into crisis. Better to let it continue and sacrifice trans people to maintain comity in the federal judiciary.

I really wish trans allies would fight as hard for us as those who hate us fight to eliminate us from society. The disparity there is why they're winning.

BREAKING: Judge Boasberg denied WPATH's request for a TRO against the FTC over its action in Texas before judge Reed O'Connor. This allows the Texas case to proceed forward. This is now the send time liberal courts have caved before Reed O'Connor. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

This is such a joke of a legal letter. This attorney should be ashamed they attached their name to it.

"why don't you win hearts and minds first?" Yeah, that's exactly the reason the right goes after any representation in film. They don't want trans people in media because they don't want people to empathize with trans people at all or know their struggles.

An effect of the AI debate on here is that researchers are finding genuinely useful ways to utilize LLMs in their research methods that are *reproducible* and *reliable.* The discourse makes it so anyone who does, usually won't talk about it because of worries over being dogpiled.

Things the Supreme Court thinks is racist or not. Racial profiling in immigration enforcement: ❌ Gerrymandering to eliminate Black districts: ❌ Comments about immigrants by Trump: ❌ Racially conscious college admissions: ✅ Creating minority-majority districts: ✅

This is a pretty cool use of AI. They had it scan reddit comments to analyze adverse effects of GLP1s that weren't analyzed during trials. They noticed menstrual issues were prominent. Then they dug through the FDA adverse event reporting database and were able to verify and publish a paper on it.

The data behind this has taken years to compile. @lizsaila.bsky.social has put in thousands of hours of work maintaining and overseeing the tracking of bills on our spreadsheet. This wouldn't be possible without her.
