#Trans folx in #Kansas given 1 day to surrender their (now invalid) IDs and driver's licenses to the state. As of tomorrow (Thursday), driving while trans is a class-B misdemeanor ($1000 fine and up to 6 months in jail).

The zero-grace-period execution means driving to turn in your license is a crime.

Oh yeah, this bill also enacted a bathroom bounty program allowing private individuals to sue trans folx for using the restroom.

Today's work for @bevy: create a revised design doc for a first-party entity inspector. I'm happy with the front-end/back-end architecture split, and we're ready to start polishing and upstreaming it incrementally. Writing really helps me think; I'm glad I took the time to do this today.

I'd love feedback on it over at: https://hackmd.io/tj99FqRITOGj1j2tuP2EAA?view

P.S. There's a "how does this fit into our editor plans" section ;)

AI agent "contributes" PR to matplotlib.
PR gets rejected.
AI agent *writes and publishes blog to shame the maintainer*.

What a time to be alive.

Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science!

"AI is built on the collective knowledge of humankind."

No. Nononononono. It is not built on _knowledge_, it it built on _data_. And not everyone's experiences are available as data, many communities are excluded. Also: "Collective" implies some sort of collaboration and shared activity. But "AI" is just accumulation by a few powerful.

So No. It's not collective but extractive, not knowledge but data, not humankind but the hegemonic western view. Everything in that statement is wrong.

Do you ever get turned on by your own body/presentation?
