Omigod the shame and horror – I’ve only just realized.
You’re not going to believe this but all my blankets are binary. Every single one.
And now I think of it so are the chairs. So are the walls. So is the toaster.
I’m in it up to my eyeballs, aren’t I. Complicity. I might as well just turn myself in at the nearest police station.
You think you have it bad? I just ate a non-binary lasagne! I genocided!
This pablum passes for news? Must be transnews.
Sigh, I ruined my own joke – binary, I meant. Dur.
Corrected dopy self.
A non-binary blanket? Would that be a Klein bottle or a Möbius strip?

I suppose if you knitted a blanket with 3 colors of thread, it would be trinary.
It might also be uknitary Jim.
Ha! Very clever.
I”m confused. Do the aunt’s children end up relying on their aunts rather than their own mothers for this critical support? What are the uncles doing in all of this? And just who has been misgendering* all the bedding NAMES! GIVE US NAMES!
Is this really newsworthy, or did the interns get left alone with the social media accounts again.
*Bless its soul; spellcheck still doesn’t recognize “misgendering” as a word.
Maybe the AI, having access to the entire internet, has decided it’s not having that nonsense.
Unfortunately, the LLMs are all super-woke and go all in on the nonsense. Asking one what a woman is gets results about as useful as what you’d get from a gender studies professor.
Quelle pédantisme! The unicorns know what it means.
Give it time, the rightoids have money and want their own LLMs; Matt Walsh’s definition will soon also be on offer.
Alternatively you can fine-tune your own model, add lore books, etc to get different outputs. Just isn’t as efficient to use RTX cards instead of Google’s TPUs.
Once again, the push is to tell WOMEN (aunts) that they should be the emotional support animals for confused people. Oh, and don’t forget all the free labor women are supposed to give to make binkie blankets for the easily upset. Funny how the uncles are not expected to be uncompensated social workers and cheerleaders.
NBC News, and every one of you commenting above has committed the egregious sin of using gendered language and reinforcing the downward punching of the patriarchal white colonist state.
There are no “Aunts”. The correct term is Pibling. There are also no nieces or nephews, only Niblings.
FFS people, get it right and stop genociding people who want to live their authentic surgically modified drug-addled selves.
Alternative terms include:
iti: modeled on terms for aunt and uncle in Spanish (tía and tío)
zizi: modeled on terms for aunt and uncle in Italian (zia and zio)
bibi: modeled on titi and zizi, with the B from nonbinary (which is often abbreviated as nb)
nini: similarly modeled on titi and zizi, with the N from nonbinary
niephling: a combination of niece, nephew, and sibling
neiph/nephiece/niephew: combinations of niece and nephew
chibling: a combination of child and sibling
sibkid: a shortening of sibling’s kid
It shouldn’t be that hard for you to memorise these lists.
Nah, Aunts don’t have children; if they had children they’d be “mothers” and we all know how awful THOSE are.

Should? Maybe, but I suspect all the research says (no, I didn’t actually read it this time) is that women DO. Which isn’t surprising, after all.
…tbh I would actually rather prefer having a collective “nibblings” or “niephlings” to the current options “my brother’s kids” or “my nieces and nephews”. Niblings maybe just for littles, would (to me, at least) sound weird for teenagers… but I rather like niephlings XD
The very computer you’re using is non-binary. And your fingers are touching it!!
