A bunch of right-wingers knew there was a trans woman in the Barbie movie, but couldn't figure out which Barbie they were supposed to be angry about. On the dangerous future of paranoia and transphobia: https://www.readtpa.com/p/transphobia-and-right-wing-paranoia

Transphobia and Right-Wing Paranoia Are a Dangerous Mix

The Barbie movie was fun, but the right-wing reaction to it shows that we're living in a scary time for anyone who doesn't fit neatly into a box.

Why I Signed the NYT Letter (And You Should, Too)

If you care about journalism, if you care about fairness, and you care about the truth, it should matter to you that "the paper of record" is constantly lying about trans people.

I think "modern-day Henry Ford (derogatory)" is going to be how I reference Musk from now on

Vaporware King Elon Musk's xAI is Basically Just a 2023 Version of Microsoft's Tay

His issue with OpenAI's ChatGPT is that it's too "woke," so naturally, Musk is setting out to create a "non-woke" AI.

I wrote about how news organizations bungled a chance to push back on Twitter's censorship of journalists covering Musk. cc: @drewharwell@mastodon.social @donieosullivan@mastodon.ie @taylorlorenz@mastodon.social https://www.readtpa.com/p/take-a-twitter-lesson-from-fox-news

When It Comes to Twitter, Mainstream News Outlets Should Take a Cue From Fox News. Seriously.

Fox once abandoned Twitter for 16 months in a vague, nonsensical protest. News outlets with legitimate grievances didn't even wait until their reporters were reinstated after being wrongly suspended.

We don't yet have all the facts on the police raid of the Marion County Record, but AP coverage is leaving a lot to be desired.

Are the Brands OK?

McDonald's masterful handling of the "Grimace Shake" TikTok trend makes Pizza Hut's "stuffed-crustussy" post look that much more like a cringe flop.

Looking Forward, Looking Back

I went to a concert last night and thought about how different 2023 is for trans people than 2012. Also, there are a few videos at the bottom of the page.

@FinchHaven@hachyderm.io I think this is only the first time I've ever changed it (and don't plan on changing it again), but sorry it messed up the filters. It should be all set now.
