The trans movement argues publicly that trans people are so sensitive to misgendering that it makes them suicidal.
When trying to keep their jobs in the military, they drop the bit. Then the military lets them stay on because its concerns about fragility have been allayed.
“They can break my body, but not my spirit!” cried antique heroes. Now that our spirits live online, they CAN break them — but not our bodies (usually). The spirit that resides in the body remains unbroken. So we can survive cancellation even if our public image dies.
Prior to the Media Age, our bodies WERE our public images. Now they are private and more aligned with the spirit than ever before.

New Heterodorx podcast! Episode 201: Episode 201: Joscha Bach Looks on the Bright Side @Plinz
The Dorx are back with esteemed German cognitive scientist, AI researcher, and philosopher Joscha Bach, who…what does he do exactly? He tries to tell us but soon is discussing the unlikelihood AI will destroy humanity (humanity is likelier to destroy itself), “human values”, the paucity of adults, superstitious thinking, lack of consciousness, unreality, mutants, fatherhood, art, craft, God, gods, ethics, Aristotle, innocence, gender, the obvious, sacrifice, and using AI as your life’s CEO. Is the self a fiction? How much art do we really need? Are all Miyazake movies really about Heidi? And so much more!
We let Riverside’s own AI edit this episode, and it’s full of artifacts as a result. Consider it meta-commentary on this fascinating human conversation.

This is too good! 🤣 I no longer have a word to say to Dugin — nor even to his new buddy Nick Land — but I would still enjoy speaking with Žižek. He's essentially a character from a Makavejev movie.

An update from Brewster Kahle on today's outage.

ALT Internet Archive ops staff were heroes last night. PHP vulnerability announced, soon saw attacks, isolated the vulnerability, used Claude to make fixes for our older php versions, used local models to run simulated attacks, deployed. reinforced WAF and other guards. Offline briefly, Back on new versions and running! Given the severity, there are heroes in many many orgs from last night. Could have been no lights, no traffic signals, real problems. Heroes. Thank you all.
Archive.org is currently offline. We are working to restore service now.

I'm tired of hearing that Americans are racist. That America is systemically racist. I'm tired of hearing how whites are privileged and that faculties and administrations need to be segregated for "courageous conversations."
Who has been doing the accusing? Institutions like the Smithsonian's African American museum (@NMAAHC).
This is the museum that told us hard work, self-reliance and the nuclear family are "aspects and assumptions of whiteness." The head of its PreK-12 program, in a museum whose materials reach classrooms nationwide, co-wrote that "white audiences" have an "empathy gap" that has to be fixed "in our classrooms."
If I said that about any other group, I'd be called a racist. And deservedly so.
In this same museum, Angela Davis is glorified as a "revolutionary" and a Communist. Thomas Sowell, unless he's been hiding out in the museum bathroom, is not present.
My father marched in Cicero in 1966 and was screamed at by racists. He went on to win the National Book Critics Circle Award for his writing and was awarded the National Humanities Medal. Yet when we asked this museum to screen our new documentary, "White Guilt," we were ghosted as if we were riffraff.
So why is it that the accuser always gets a free pass for leveling charges of racism against us?

The WNBA defines Enes as a man, but still fails to define 'woman'. They just know that Enes isn't one. But how do they know that since he said he was one?
Is it because he's 6'10"? Is it because he has a beard? Is it because he can dunk? Is it because they're transphobic?
🚨 LADIES AND GENTLEMEN OF AMERICA, THE MOMENT YOU’VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR!
The @WNBA has officially responded!
IS THE #WNBA TRANSPHOBIC?
Apparently, the WNBA still can’t define what a WOMAN is, but they’re absolutely certain they know what a MAN is!
How convenient!
WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert has declared that I am a man.
Who gave her the authority to decide who I am?
Who gets to define my identity?
And how can the WNBA determine who is a man without explaining what qualifies someone as a woman?
Is the WNBA denying people the right to define their own gender identity?
You can’t have it both ways!
America, read this letter for yourselves.
THE WNBA HAS SOME EXPLAINING TO DO!
