The official CDC website on autism and vaccines is now a screed of cherry-picked data and conspiratorial thinking claiming that actually vaccines *might* cause autism. This is where we’re at folks…

Leaders of a Minnesota church community didn’t report a parishioner they knew had sexually abused girls for year. They told his victims that once sins were “washed away in the blood of reconciliation,” they could never speak of them again. Truly chilling, from @jlussenhop.bsky.social & Andy Mannix

It’s good to explain that the CDC is lying and vaccines still unequivocally do not cause autism, even if it just reaches one person on here who has doubts. But the fight is out there, not in here; and the time to let go of the information deficit model of science communication was decades ago

As posted in a few servers and was alerted to this picture earlier today: What they said. DO NOT FILL IT OUT, it is there to fuck with your artist peers and yourself, they (paypal) can and will abuse this and steal your money by banning your account

that his first intuition was not to GO THE FUCK AWAY FROM ALL ASPECTS OF CIVIL SOCIETY IS SO FUCKING FUNNY (and it's a grim look into where we are)

We really need tech journalists to focus on telling the public that Gen ai does not keep your data confidential

Ana decided to call out payment processors and their unilateral response was attempting to fuck up her life and that should be bigger news than it is as of now

This is Avi Arad btw, one of the producers for the Zelda movie

Deeply ashamed just because you were soliciting a convicted child predator for advice on cheating on your wife my pressuring a younger colleague into sleeping with you while sneering at her and her work? Gosh Ross Douthat better write another piece decrying woke culture

a HOFer who now spends their time living off of their reputation while shamelessly selling out any and every way they can

Why am I so against generative AI in games? Because I simply do not want my initial reaction to art to be one of suspicion and scrutiny, AI slop is fundamentally damaging my relationship to art and artistry, and I am deeply resentful that it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed.

This should be instructive. The democratic tent does not have room in it for communists, it does not have room in it for socialists, they will do everything they can to defeat you if you are even the meanest, behindhand reformist demsoc, but if you're a nazi they will welcome you with open arms.

incredible that for big companies, this is gonna be considered the 'uncompromising take'

Monkey Paw We stop the tush push but we're gonna lose

it's gonna be one of THESE types of games lmao

browns ravens is true black qb excellence

chopped cheese is NY's answer to the philly cheesesteak

There are over 1️⃣6️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ gas & oil lobbyists at COP30 👇 What a shocking failure. Would you allow tobacco lobbyists into a world health conference? There will be 0️⃣ lobbyists at the National Emergency Briefing on the #climate and #nature crisis on 27th November. Is your MP attending? www.nebriefing.org

"one day, when it's safe, when there's no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it's too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this"

Times Union editorial board tackled this in June, and again last month:

I woke up from a long nap, was Trump bussin on the low? What's going on here?

Hey are you all ready to see a WHOLE bunch of people suddenly be cool with AI really, really quickly? I'm calling it now, it's about to go from "I would never touch anything made with it." to "...well it isn't a DEALBREAKER."

Open AI loses copyright case in Germany. Judge Elke Schwager summarized the case saying that if you want to build something and need components, "then you purchase them and do not use the property of others."

Also, just mentioning that Microsoft are still a BDS boycott primary target, so even if you don't care about a mega-budget AAA game cheaping out and using generic AI-generated art, you should care because the publisher *called the FBI* to investigate their own staff for anti-genocidal sentiments.

This is top-notch. "Now is the time to find a political home for that battle. Everyone has skills that can contribute to the cause. Perhaps it’s taking notes in union meetings, signing up for ICE-watch training, or phonebanking to keep voters engaged. Even one small task matters."

Finally downloaded red note and am ready to begin my cooking fujian noodles era

'Sonic Shuffle' was released on the SEGA Dreamcast 25 years ago today in the US.

In a lot of ways other leftists chose this path folks. They shrugged and didn’t care when Patreon banned a ton of hypnosis and TF creators, or when YouTube started their ASMR crackdown. Now it’s coming for queer porn creators, more and more. Who will stand up?

Car maintenance- I need new axles and a new steering rack. It's about 3 to $400 in parts. it leaks power steering fluid that's why I need it immediately I'm going to make a post with more of a breakdown of things and what I need but I just need to get this out there and get over my fear

I just encountered a great generational divide by showing my son what a weeaboo is

damn i had a "i wish someone could tell you when you we're in the 'good ol days' before it ended" moment and am now on the verge of tears

remember when most of Congress went hard after Backpage in early 2018 but did nothing to actually help young people who are poor, homeless, and trying to get by

Almost gave up on getting a good shot of the aurora tonight, as all the nearby parks had other people in them... but on the way home I stopped by a favorite field and got rewarded for my patience 📷🔭

Just by sheer chance we are always exactly one vote short of doing good stuff, and one vote over the line to do bad stuff.

what do you mean that the pistons without their starting 5 are ragdolling the bulls

I think that guy was probably involved in child sex trafficking, and he's self-evidently been bending over backwards to corruptly cover it up, but also he can continue to be president for another three years, is not a coherent position and the incoherence of it is obvious.

1 degree of Jeffrey Epstein

Be wary of anyone who tries to downplay the importance of boycotting Target because “other stores are bad too”. Just because people can’t do everything doesn’t mean they should do nothing

I think "most physical games require a download to even work nowadays" is one of my strongest pet peeves in that it will get me to pick fights with strangers if seen in the wild lol there is considerable data about this exact thing and it is just plain false. Stop handing that one to publishers.

They’ve laid off so many people that the government is now getting its economic data from DoorDash.

automaton also had an article some months ago where they talked about over 50% of game companies in a tokyo game show survey are using generative AI in game development. it's really bad. sega, capcom, level-5, indies. automaton-media.com/en/news/over...

‼️ MEDICAL EMERGENCY ‼️ My friends, I still need €300 to secure my mother’s medication for this month. Her condition is delicate, and she urgently needs the medicine any delay could put her at risk. I only need 10 kind people to donate €20 each today to help keep her safe.🙏 gofund.me/d15a242f
