        About a week and a half ago, I asked a friend for advice on AI services, such as ChatGPT, Copilot, and the like. He was eager to share his latest discovery: Grok. According to him, Grok could do everything from answer questions about string theory, help you plan a charcuterie board for eight, even generate images, all for free. Keep Reading →

        I’ve spent the last 25 years since I transitioned being spoken about by lawmakers, by media, by people who have never met me but feel entitled to decide what my life means. The pressure to explain, justify, or exist as a symbol in somebody else’s mythology is constant. It’s part of why my film, Becoming a Man in 127 EASY Steps, exists: to narrate a trans life from the inside, rather than explain it to outsiders. Keep Reading →

        Again and again, Tim Cook has chosen groveling over principle, proximity to power, servitude over solidarity, and profit over people. His slithering up to Donald Trump has besmirched his reputation, and he probably couldn’t care less. Keep Reading →
