I think about this post a lot.

Americans take note: the government can just do this. It'll be fine.

When even the Bad Guys don't want to work with the even More Evil Guys

Reposting you + I made a similar guide w/ information on specifics like keywords, deckblue, starter packs etc. The wording tailors to artists but anyone posting media incl VTubers benefits from the advice. 2 months ago I wrote it at 4.9k & I'm now @ 6.2k. I follow all the tips I gave in the post.

It's done. A crash course on growing your followers and engagement rate for new Bluesky users, particularly VTubers. A lot of Twitter VTubers struggle to grow on Bluesky since they use algorithm-based growth tricks... those don't work here! Here's what does nsfw.leaflet.pub/3md7uyxr3t22y

"This is where most new users fail. They move into the neighborhood, unaware that they need to meet the neighbors. Then they wonder why no one has shown up to their housewarming." Yeah this article is pretty damn good.

The fact that every right winger with influence screams "who is paying for all of this" tells you exactly how awash in cash they all are, and how much they rely on that to keep their movement afloat.

Jonathan Ross—the ICE fascist who killed Renee Good—is an 18-year ICE veteran, firearms instructor, & active shooter trainer. The people claiming "ICE needs more training" are missing the point. Ross's 2 DECADES of training IS what led him to execute Good. ICE Training IS the problem. Abolish ICE.

It's incredible how effective transphobia is as a litmus test for SO many issues. Every time I find a new pro-surveillance tech stooge, they're transphobic. I think people need to understand how tightly the belief that the internet is turning everyone trans is bound up w mass surveillance efforts

Us vets of the poaster wars know that the key to having an actual community, is by not allowing some to have a platform. And we've seen with this fascism, platform removals also works. That's why they've been buying the platforms.

I hate this tiktok thing. We can't have ONE mainstream app where people can talk about stuff the US government doesn't want you to talk about???

To delete your TikTok account without agreeing to the new TOS: 1) put your phone in airplane mode 2) open TikTok and go to your profile 3) go to settings and scroll down to delete account 4) turn airplane mode off 5) delete your account Credit to @ kimsaira on instagram for this

Hey, maybe it's time to stream on j-s-k again! Let's see some of the new streamers to find out where the site is going... Okay... it is going... places for sure.

The best way to say "I love you" to a trans homies is to give them money or buy them pizza or gift them every game on their steam wishlist or go visit their literal throne with the intentional of forfeiting all your mortal possessions to be their chosen knight and if you're feeling spicy suck their

People fast to shame and cancel others over "problematic" kinks are happily posting about breeding If there is one kink based in both racism and misogyny it's that one, but you are not ready for that conversation (And no, I don't want that canceled either, just tired of hypocrisy & kinkshaming)

Doesn't work on free social media, but in the Discord case - they HAVE paid users, would people in the EU with paid Nitro be able to take this gatekeeping to the European Union Consumer Rights committee? Or something? Just trying to think outside the box.

I might finally get over playing Overwatch and SWTOR if they start requiring ID to play. But also... I have spent so much money on those games over the years AND live in a country with strong consumer laws that SURELY we can take legal action based on customer rights over products bought???

Discord users internationally are reportedly seeing prompts to age verify to access NSFW channels. Discord states these may be seen by users outside the UK & Australia “as part of ongoing experiments.” (Thanks @candlekit.bsky.social for flagging with me)

My face when I finally unlock the hot redhead MILF as a playable character, but her kit doesn't fit my playstyle so I have to bench her 😭💜

The actual story is that a family of American citizens trying to evacuate from a neighborhood that ICE had made unsafe, and then ICE tossed munitions into the car, causing three kids to be hospitalized and a six month old to stop breathing. DHS called the family “radical agitators”

"paid protestors" is one of the oldest propaganda tricks in the book (literally -- it was used around Civil War discourse, and to combat labor strikes in the early 1900s too). Journalists and TV anchors should push back on it whenever they hear it. drilled.media/news/ivy-lee

Looking on the bright side of things, I feel like I've fostered a newfound respect and adoration for "bad" art with this ai craze. Like you could have just fed the slop generator but instead you went and you created something anyway. Even if it's bad you put it out there. Hell yeah dude.

...and we all know where suppressing leftist voices and destroying communists lead to in Germany Can we learn from history?

Are you telling me we could motivate dudes with vanity trinkets I mean challenge coins? I will gothdammit stamp you a coin if that's what it takes for you to start doing good and kind things instead of being a POS hurting people.

The problems in our society keep getting worse and worse while only the scapegoats for the problems change Scapegoating and trying to criminalize the ways people try to cope (video games, drugs,social media) while keeping the reason people need ways to cope (loneliness, poverty, capitalism)

If anyone has suggestions for indie artists that do old school/painterly dark fantasy/sci-fi work that I can commission for TCG art send them my way. I don’t have much budget right now (hopefully that changes eventually) but I’d like to get a few pieces done as I get my vertical slice together

Scanning that qr code will also leave a digital trail of who on which device and where it was scanned. Which I'm sure they will keep on record to use as evidence for later. At best. At worst, it could be used to spread malware / spyware to further surveil those people scanning it.

The 'give ice qr codes' thing reminds me of when Sarah Everard was murdered by a real policeman using his real police id to kidnap her, and the police & gvt made out the solution was to have a helpline to check that the person bundling you away was a real policeman (as the murderer was)

Non-protesting dad just trying to hustle his kids, as young as 6mo, out of the neighborhood. ICE threw a flash-bang INTO HIS car, all 6 kids in the hospital now. If anyone wondered how things turn against occupying armies there's a case study playing out in front of you.

not on the creator for having a kink account that you don't like. YOU are making problems by not having the personal accountability to manage your own emotions, process your discomfort, and curate your timeline instead of starting a crusade against something that YOU dislike, kink stuff or otherwise

Your favorite content creator is allowed to publicly engage in and create kink/NSFW content. Your favorite NSFW kink artist is allowed to pursue sfw endeavors and content creation. The prospect of a creator having a SFW and NSFW side does not mean the two are correlated. At all.

the slowest burn from in 2003 when us young adults were like "Homeland Security? uhh, kind of, fashy??" and the establishment and its defenders were like "checks and balances dont worry strong language defeat terrorism" and we all just kind of, filed that one away for later,

JUST ABOLISH ICE I don't want to scan the fascist goons' QR codes whilst they're kidnapping my friends, I want there to be no fascist goons kidnapping my friends

This is entirely a scam run by people that spend their time regularly harassing real trans people online when they aren't trying to bilk clueless liberals of their donation dollars.

We should have a nationwide program of introducing badgers onto golf courses to help control the golfing population.

China foreign policy: We will be friendly with anyone who wants to be friendly with us. USA foreign policy: YOU WILL DO AS WE SAY AND GIVE US ANYTHING WE WANT OR WE WILL BOMB YOUR COUNTRY AND KIDNAP OR ASSASSINATE YOUR ELECTED LEADERS

THIS is why it irks me to no end when people pushing for Internet activity to be tied to your ID claim that "being online with your real name and face makes it safer uwu" The bigots never shy away from being hateful with their full chest. While anonymity can save someone's life

My stance is that Freedom of Speech DOES NOT COVER AI. It is not a human. It is a tool. Not even one of those dangerous tools that are also useful like a chainsaw. It's more like a fad tool like idk ice cream machine. Yea it's cool for two days but you don't need it and it ends up just taking space

I would be more sympathetic to the Freedom of Speech / Censorship angle of banning whole social medias IF X HAD NOT JUST MASS BANNED SEX WORKERS, LGBT PEOPLE, JOURNALISTS, ACTIVISTS etc. Censorship is a real issue, it is just "funny" how only hateful&abusive speech&expression matters to tech CEOs

Barely anyone is going to see this, but if you’ve ever asked why X isn’t banned in the UK yet despite creating CSAM, it’s because the US government has enforced a worldwide policy of blackmail protecting the American tech oligarchy. It’s why TikTok can be banned but X cannot.

i support "organized gangs of wine moms"

The online communists were right about everything

I just found out last night that the $50k enrollment bonus only pays out after 5 years of service, and reader, the laugh I let out when I read that woke the dog from across the house. These absolute fucking grapes aren't seeing a dime of that money. No way they can ride out 5 years of this job.

I think about this quote from the Luddite movement all the time
