i can only assume @quantian.bsky.social is too much of a coward to post this here on bsky so i will do it for him bsky.app/profile/ayou...

Right now where you live healthcare for trans kids is either being made literally illegal by your state or made functionally illegal by the unlawful threats of the federal government and a care infrastructure glad to sacrifice trans kids on the altar of appeasement. www.npr.org/2026/04/17/n...

my new campaign platform is that all horror movie trailers should be preceded by 15 seconds of a plain text, silent jump-scare warning, and that my cinema owes me a refund on the beer I nearly launched across the auditorium

And a car could drive the route faster. That’s not the point of a marathon though.

Notice that Bluesky had its longest outage to date barely a day after I posted this. Don’t let Big Server Oopsie keep you from the truth.

Amazing that Apple's approach to anything even approaching consenting porn is "not on your life, you filthy pervert" and its approach to nonconsensual porn is, basically, "well, what can ya do"

And it doesn't even protect children.

Not sure why everyone thinks this is respectful. He goes on to say that a trans man’s existence would be distressing to women. And this is all in conversation about putting them into a third space. Not the men’s. A secret third thing. He also has said the same for trans women.

So after 16 months of being bedridden and unable to work, I'm finally back on my feet and interviewing at a couple places. I'm very broke in the meantime (taking care of six people!) and have to settle a lawsuit from a credit card company, so any donation would be amazing ko-fi.com/fooneturing

Not once in the 80s, 90s or 00s do I recall a politician urging the public to embrace email, mobile phones, texting, two factor authentication, online banking, air fryers, or to replace all their cassette collection with a CD collection. So forgive me if I smell a rat.

Don’t write your book with AI but we’ll edit it with AI! Don’t do your homework with AI but you’re required to learn how to use AI or you won’t get a good grade! Don’t use AI to make a resume but we will be using AI to feed resumes through! [pterodactyl screech] None of this has to be this way

Hammam is a dear friend to many of us on here. His family is struggling greatly right now, most of all his brother Abood, who is facing leg amputation after an Israeli shell left his leg broken, with shrapnel still inside. Please take a second today and share: chuffed.org/project/1580...

like maybe you could mention that Elon Musk is an overt white supremacist who bought a corrupt fascist dictatorship you know, stuff that may be having some impact on the sensibilities and temperment of the electorate

I'm sure the CNN journalist gets to that obvious recommendation at some point in the article

just spitballing here but one thing that might turn down the temperature is top CEOs not doing and saying insane and extremely harmful things all the time, such as enthusiastically embracing fascist movements

"I never thought leopards would eat your face," cries man who convinced leopards that faces are very tasty. Read this week's TWIBS by @alyssaur.bsky.social

I know it's not the main point here, but do they not realise Dante, the OG hater of European poetry, will be creating an extra special circle of Hell for publishers that use an AI named after him?!? "And in the nth circle, publishers having their brains eaten"

You can wishlist the game here, if you want to help the devs out: store.steampowered.com/app/2288520/...

BAFTA pulling a trailer for an autobiographical game about surviving sexual assault only hours before it was said to be a part of a showcase is an exceptionally bad look.

The government was forced to admit the EHRC’s transphobic draft guidance got it wrong, and they’ve had to send it back to the drawing board. But the fight is far from over. They plan to bring an updated version back to parliament in May. So we need to act – fast 👇

The craft supplies that bring me the most joy - softest yarn in colours I like the most, paints that mix nicely with good coverage, good durable paintbrushes - and not just the cheapest ones that will more or less do the job

Trump intervened. His DOJ settled. That didn't stop a jury from ruling against Live Nation and its monopolistic practices. Big win for music fans. Big embarrassment for Team Trump, who tried to sell them out. apnews.com/article/live...

This is a beautiful thing to do and all credit to her but also CAN YOU IMAGINE

okay but here me out, what if instead

"Hi! I'm your Starbucks AI. What are you in the mood to--" "WASP CUP"

::Sigh:: last day to raise funds for Baby Emily's casket. $2,300 cost; they've raised about $200 toward it [the rest went to her chemo]. Viewing is tomorrow.

This thread is required reading...

People willing calling people by their chosen names of Clavicular or Sneako but complain about trans people pronouns. Get fucked

bit nervous to chuck my hat into the #portfolioday ring because I've only illustrated my own projects so far but nothing ventured nothing gained right! digital or paper collage art for YOUR project maybe??

the uk is not a tolerant place. from the government all the way down to the red faced bald men who put up st george crosses on lampposts, it's a country rife with bigotry. but we don't execute people for their differences yet, which is what folk seeking asylum are escaping. let them stay. help them.

the bbc is trying to get gay ppl killed. see it never stops at transphobia. it always expands to the rest of the lgbt+ sphere.

One of the main things getting in the way of podcast launch is my deep-seated dread of having to do social media promo. I hate being on camera, every ounce of charisma I possess vanishes when I try to do it.

literally no word of this is a lie or wrong or even exaggerated for comedic effect. This is (a short version of) very exactly what has happened. This is not a joke.

Official NHS transgender policy:

Is it principles, or is it the fact that italians put on a really good general strike and will do so as often as it takes? Impossible to say.

After three years of war in Sudan, even food has become a frontline. Our new joint report shows how violence has turned the journey of food—from farms to markets to homes—into a dangerous and often deadly process. Read more: www.rescue.org/press-releas...

What kills me if the pull quote about prescribing it to teenagers. It is fully banned in the UK, thanks in large part to the Daily Mail, for only one group of teens: trans kids.

I personally think not safe to remain in any personal relationship with anyone who is using LLMs to analyze your relationship, make conclusions about your motives, or determine how to treat you. I think this is beyond red flag—it should be an immediate dealbreaker.

“I’ve been using ChatGPT to help with cooking for a while now, so I didn’t think too much of it when the ingredients list included a bottle filled with gasoline and a cloth wick,” said the alleged attacker

Scottish Greens manifesto is out, compare and contrast

Today’s poem is called ‘Job Interview with a Cat’.

"I prescribe it even to teens in some circumstances"

You get the point. You can do this with anything, and you can either say these numbers are relatively small, and things aren't as bad as they could be, or you could look at the state of things and say this is an absolute fucking failure and we should all be aghast.

One thing I like about Pokopia (of many, many things I like) is that it does incentivise you to play regularly with a stamp card that refreshes every week, but the stamp card has 4 slots so there’s room for you to not play every day and still get the reward.

Well at least Viktor Orbán is free to headline Wireless next year.

Scottish Labour manifesto is out, don’t vote for them
