i've been reading whipping girl and i just think... it's so wild that radical feminists don't see the value that trans people and especially trans women bring to the feminist movement. it seems like half of them think that gender/sex should be sorted into two rigid, non-overlapping categories (which upholds the underlying structure of a society that is deeply prejudiced against women, aka oppositional sexism) and the other half think that gender is a fake concept (real) and we should abolish the social standards of gender but physical sex is real and immutable and therefore trans women are harming their movement by associating physical sex with the social construct of gender (operating within the society they live in unfortunately). much to think about

Y'all, the world is sleeping on what NASA just pulled off with Voyager 1
The probe has been sending gibberish science data back to Earth, and scientists feared it was just the probe finally dying. You know, after working for 50 GODDAMN YEARS and LEAVING THE GODDAMN SOLAR SYSTEM and STILL CHURNING OUT GODDAMN DATA.
So they analyzed the gibberish and realized that in it was a total readout of EVERYTHING ON THE PROBE. Data, the programming, hardware specs and status, everything. They realized that one of the chips was malfunctioning.
So what do you do when your probe is 22 Billion km away and needs a fix? Why, you just REPROGRAM THAT ENTIRE GODDAMN THING. Told it to avoid the bad chip, store the data elsewhere.
Sent the new code on April 18th. Got a response on April 20th - yeah, it's so far away that it took that long just to transmit.
And the probe is working again.
From a programmer's perspective, that may be the most fucking impressive thing I have ever heard.

i love to make fun of notorious white woman Taylor Swift and all of her embarrassing attempts to appear deeper than a plate of soup.

Israel so desperately tries to drag the US into a regional war, all we can hope for is no further escalation beyond Iranian retaliation strike, but it does look rather bleak.

Never forget that this would not be happening had Biden reined in Israel in October '23 instead of giving them a blank check to attack anyone they please. At the very least there should have been consequences for Israel bombing an embassy.
Instead Biden promised iron clad support for Israel. We're now facing the possibility of a huge regional war that will devastate the lives of tens of millions of civilians in West Asia
