TheCrossCulturalNerd,

@georgetakei Even saying "European culture" would have been better than this. Even giving her the benefit of the doubt and assuming she's not a white supremacist, it was a bad choice of words.

TheCrossCulturalNerd,

@jeffowski One would think this wouldn't hold up in court, especially since there were some serious extenuating circumstances. But then if he can't pay for a lawyer...

Heartbreaking.

Canada has banned the use of Kaspersky security products and Tencent's WeChat app on mobile devices used by government employees, citing network and national security concerns.

TheCrossCulturalNerd,

@BleepingComputer Kaspersky I can understand. What if the government employees in question work with international relations stuff with China? WeChat is borderline indispensable to the Chinese and most who work with them nowadays.

Which augment would you pick first?

TheCrossCulturalNerd,

@Cassandra I'd love the near-instant info access! Too bad facts are called fake too often these days.

TikTok comes out as the absolute worst vector for propagating all sorts of hateful and even explicitly genocidal shit all the time. And they don’t do anything about it when alerted. Even in this article, they took down a couple of posts only after the issue got this type of attention.

TheCrossCulturalNerd,

@timnitGebru On the Chinese version my Nigerian friend got a bunch of racist comments and when he replied with a sarcastic joke HE got penalized.

CHRISTIAN HATE!
We know now why people are leaving the religion.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday declined to hear an appeal from a Christian college in Missouri that sued the Biden administration over its decision to shield transgender people from housing discrimination.

https://news.yahoo.com/supreme-court-declines-appeal-christian-134217639.html

At issue was a 2021 Biden administration memo that interpreted a federal anti-discrimination housing law as protecting transgender Americans.

TheCrossCulturalNerd,

@Free_Press Wait, the same Supreme Court that's conservative majority and 1/3 appointed by Trump? Did Hell see a snow flurry just now?

👉🏼👉🏼A federal judge struck down #Arkansas’ first-in-the-nation ban on gender-affirming care for children as unconstitutional Tuesday, the first ruling to overturn such a prohibition as a growing number of Republican-led states adopt similar restrictions. #trans #healthcare #legal #LGBTQ

TheCrossCulturalNerd,

@GottaLaff That ban was also initially vetoed by Arkansas' Republican (now former) governor. Some Republicans still care.
