So, @tressiemcphd.bsky.social writes a brilliant (as usual) op-ed about genAI and some tech bro attempts to ridicule it. The guy, Mike Solana, is probably not worth my time but it seems he's gay and as a Gay, I am unduly annoyed by evil gays. Also, I'm bored. So here's my debunking of this guy.

We've gotten to the point where the Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court no longer gives a shit that people know he's lying. Chief Justice John Roberts says Supreme Court is not political

His remarks to a conference of judges and lawyers from the 3rd U.S. Circuit in Pennsylvania came at a time of <span class="LinkEnhancement">low public confidence</span> in the court, and about a week after the court handed down a decision that hollowed out the Voting Rights Act.

Alt comics page readers will recognize the name: Nicole Hollander, creator of the "Sylvia" comic strip which ran from 1980 to 2012, has passed away.

On 26 March 2012, 'Sylvia' was discontinued completely. Hollander established a now-defunct personal blog to repost old comics and post new ones. Apart from her own opinions and work, she also offered room for articles and cartoons by younger artists. Her blog received the title Bad Girl Chats. Hollander quipped: "You have to be careful when you type in the URL, because you may get a porn site" (which ironically enough it became after Hollander's site was discontinued).

You've probably seen the stuff from the Artemis II mission about Bluetooth pairing issues and Microsoft Outlook ... well ... there's no way to put those words together without some sort of "clusterfuck" semantics. Anyway, Becca Royal- Gordon @beccadax@soincredibly.gay

Hot take: The Artemis livestream is a damning indictment of modern computing devices. It seems like half the radio chatter is troubleshooting email delivery problems, confusing user interfaces, or devices not booting or connecting.

Entry: 2026-03-07 02:10:17.378385+01 Believe in your older self by Dan Lyke comments 1

Yale study challenges notion that aging means decline, finds many older adults improve over time

The authors also examined potential reasons for why some people improve and some do not. They hypothesized that an important factor could be participants’ baseline age beliefs — or, specifically, whether they had assimilated more positive or more negative views about aging by the start of the study. In support of this hypothesis, they found that those with more positive age beliefs were significantly more likely to show improvements in both cognition and walking speed, even after accounting for factors such as age, sex, education, chronic disease, depression, and length of follow-up.

As Jack William Bell @jackwilliambell@rustedneuron.com observes:

You have an #LLM #AI trained on data from the Internet. You have a dial you can twiddle to select content models which make that LLM seem right or left wing in it's political output.

The right side of the dial does largely work, but it also means your LLM does this:

Now, ask yourself this question: Why is that?

Because the answer will tell you an awful lot about the difference in the underlying content model between what you perceive as right or left wing #politics.

Or: yeah. The pedocon theory is real.

Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health: Gender-affirming surgeries rarely performed on transgender youth

JAMA Network Open: Prevalence of Gender-Affirming Surgical Procedures Among Minors and Adults in the US.

Results

In 2019, the sample included 47,437,919 adults who were insured and 22,827,194 minors who were insured, of which 3,835,726 minors (16.8%) were aged 15 to 17 years, 2,708,166 (11.9%) were aged 13 to 14 years, and 16 283 302 (71.3%) were aged 12 years or younger. The rate of undergoing a gender-affirming surgery with a TGD-related diagnosis was 5.3 per 100,000 total adults compared with 2.1 per 100,000 minors aged 15 to 17 years, 0.1 per 100,000 minors aged 13 to 14 years, and 0 procedures among minors aged 12 years or younger (Figure 1). Of gender-affirming surgical procedures identified among adults and minors, 1591 of 2664 (59.7%) and 82 of 85 (96.4%) were chest-related procedures, respectively. Of the 636 breast reductions among cisgender male and TGD adults, 507 (80%) were performed on cisgender males. Of the 151 breast reductions among cisgender male minors and TGD minors, 146 (97%) were performed on cisgender male minors
