  You can ask GPT to hold a debate with itself and bring in adversarial perspectives and get a self-contained Reddit thread.

  Whenever I get discouraged by the torrent of garbage opinions that is the Blue Check Twitterati I just remember that these are the folks who think vaccines are unsafe. The whole platform is infested by basement-grade idiots in an idiot bubble, yapping at each other like so many coyotes. 🙄

  @noahshachtman I would be but invite codes are as hard to get as working legacy social media services these days.

  @timkmak Eff the bigots anyway. The war in Ukraine is about fighting hatred and evil, not bowing to it. Thanks for doing what you do.

  What if Zuckerberg paid Musk to make the birdsite unusable just in time to launch a Meta competitor and make Zuckerberg relevant again? 🤔 (Pants-on-head conspiracies are fun)

  @georgetakei it's not just surgery. Transition regret rate as a whole, for both adolescent and adult transitioners, is 3-4%, as detailed in this excellent roundup from March: https://medium.com/@lexi.m.henny/how-common-is-detransition-a-review-of-all-the-evidence-95518e6affe1

  @alexglow @georgetakei this is another, very good point. I fully expect Florida or Tennessee to put out numbers in a few years with a straight face claiming 90%+ desistance - without mentioning that they legally mandated it. To say nothing of the immense societal stigmas you mentioned.

  @AGTMADCAT @georgetakei Hormones are generally only somewhat reversible. Things like facial hair growth don't go away if you stop taking testosterone, nor do musculoskeletal changes if you start young enough for those to be optional, but body fat distribution should. Puberty blockers are reversible with few side effects, however, when prescribed for a small period of time (a couple years) to allow for exploratory therapy.

  This must be that famous Netflix special, Bird Box.

  I feel like I'm being edged by Jack Smith. Like c'mon, Jack, just stop fooling around and stick it in already.

  @SpceJellyfish very rendered - Dall*E images have the colored square watermark in the bottom right.

  You've placed a single book on a pedestal, and become so devoted to maintaining its high position that you would rather warp your perception of *reality itself* than risk a single chip marring its perfection.

  Draft 3 of Book 1 completed earlier this week, at long last. I also got Dall-E 3 to generate some interim artwork for mood-setting purposes. It did an *incredible* job. From here on in my goal is finding and employing beta readers. Prossibly also running the draft through some edit passes. Book 2 also needs a proper beginning - specifically, a full outline and character list. NaNoWriMo is coming....
