has anyone written something on all these scifi trilogies about evil empires which commit all kinds of brutalities, but are also totally open and welcoming and not a big deal about trans people.Permalink Look on archive.org

having just read the Ninefox Gambit series, featuring an empire that literally runs in ritual sacrifice & explicitly commits genocide, and has some characters be trans in a casual "ah, btw it's nice to be out of a binder after a long day" kind of way.Permalink Look on archive.org
-
like, it's nice to read about a place where being trans is accepted & magical medical tech means you can swap bodies at will... but at a certain point, the fact that that's always paired with evil colonialism starts to send a message you assume the authors didn't intend.Permalink Look on archive.org

just retweeted this, then unretweeted it having read the paper it was linked from. specifically, the only time Facebook has access to your messages is if you're messaging a business which uses Facebook as a messaging endpoint - this will be communicated in-app. seems reasonable! @SDWolf/1347595158301261825Permalink Look on archive.org
-
all of which is not to encourage people to use WhatsApp - if you care at all about privacy please use Signal instead. my understanding is that while Facebook can't read your messages, they know who you're messaging, when you messaged them & what gifs you searched for. it's enoughPermalink Look on archive.org

btw, the gif thing is because they own giphy. which means every other service which uses giphy as a gif search engine will send Facebook the same data. Q: doesn't this include Signal?

@kermitron @BRKeogh my understanding: there's not anything especially unusual about the short position on GameStop. and GameStop are potentially profiting from this: they currently are in a phase of selling some of their own shares. also a load of the WSB traders are trading via call options.Permalink Look on archive.org

@kermitron @BRKeogh which are like shorts in reverse - I don't understand the mechanism well enough to explain it, but it involves borrowing money to trade with. increases your potential profit but also means you can lose more money than you started with if the trade goes wrong.Permalink Look on archive.org

@kermitron @BRKeogh also... a bunch of other wealthy people (eg BlackRock) have substantial stakes in GameStop - some funds will be wiped out (Melvin is the main one) but others will make bank.Permalink Look on archive.org

@kermitron @BRKeogh and there are reasons to defend the idea of short selling! for one thing, it makes stock prices more accurate. for another, it encourages the kind of research that took down Luckin Coffee (Chinese firm engaging in huge fraud, discovered by short sellers)Permalink Look on archive.org

@mcclure111 @bobpoekert @HarperMitchell ah, yeah, you're right, they do have common owners. the OP also clarifies in replies that he doesn't actually think they're front running, but considers not supplying best execution as functionally identical, which seems like a misleading way to frame it (but I'm not an expert)Permalink Look on archive.org
