"bravely stopping abuse and exploitation by wasting our moderators' time on non-con smut that could have gone toward moderating abuse or exploitation" tale as old as fucking time. garbage site. where's everyone fleeing to next?

Once again, Jesus Christ, if your own policy would ban, like, The Handmaid's Tale, The Colour Purple, One Hundred Years of Solitude, A Clockwork Orange, Blood Meridian, Measure For Measure, like.... what are we doing here. What is this for

Attempted to copy a field from an excel spreadsheet to paste into a form in a web browser, and I received a Clipboard Error: "We couldn't copy the content to the clipboard because it's in use by another application." What the fuck is windows doing that the clipboard needs to be thread safe???

the most controversial statement you can make in this world right now is that it’s bad that israel is committing a genocide

People who use AI, this is what I'm lumping you in with. The U.S. Department of Labor generating the whitest fake dudes on the planet for recruiting posts that look like they're right out of Axel Braun's "This Ain't The Man in the High Castle" porn parody. (Yeah, I checked, these are real.)

This is trans rights, too. There is no viable position for the Democrats other than “trans rights are human rights.” Trying to triangulate a position where you throw trans people under the bus “just a little” to woo swing voters only feeds the right’s argument that trans people are a threat 1/x

Corporate needs you to find the difference between these two posters.

it’s so fucked that “vibe coding” is the thing that it is and not programmers masturbating while doing their work. yes it’s okay to need the assistance of a machine to code but that code should be stimulating your genitals and bringing you to orgasm!!!! what are you doing!!!!!

oh, so THIS is what neurotypicals feel like god, this fucking RIPS i am a shining golden god and my focus bows to no impulse

Fun fact: when I visit my partner in the UK, VPNs are the only thing that let's me handle various things like paying my power bill or checking messages from my doctor because they are region locked to the US. But yeah it's about ~CHILD SAFETY~

Relatedly I think journalism could maybe use stronger professional style norms around not anthropomorphizing the computer systems we report on/reference in our writing.

president hunter biden signs historic executive order decreeing the immediate forced feminization of all manosphere influencers

Happy release day to Sword of the Sea, the latest game from Giant Squid, with ethereal soundtrack by @awintory.bsky.social :) I once again had the privilege of recording woodwinds, including this beautiful Mayan triple harmony drone flute. It has a haunting voice that's all throughout the score 🪈

it's so cool how i can literally feel whatever i was *just* thinking about flutter away like a little butterfly. it's incredible that i get anything done 😭

why is it that the "Tough Compromises" we have to submit to in order to combat fascism are so often things the fascists themselves want?

We're finishing book 1!

I hate that this is actually a really good analogy

internet users failing to do Intersectionality sound like they're explaining the Pokemon type chart badly tbh like no you haven't proven that water types are strong against electric types because water/ground types exist

"being trans is inherently suffering, and if you aren't suffering, you must be posing" like i don't even consider this an argument. this is a sickness of the heart. this is a mind and a worldview that cannot understand the power structures hold over us. literal "evil cannot comprehend good" shit.

The persistent assumption that disabled people are less happy, worse off, pitiable, severely annoys me.

I'm happy to announce it does exist courtesy of @okadaizo.men Behold: soundcloud.com/alex-lee-837...

i DO yearn for Tahani Time Chapter 19!

lmao what did she mean by this

We're livereading Chapter 18, and then the rest if I can help it. I have my sunglasses on, and I'm waiting for the fiery thirteen-car pileup that's Fast Approaching. EDIT coming back up to this post just to say, @taliabhatt.itch.io , @tpwrtrmnky.bsky.social , y'all cooked so hard with this.

catching two notifications and a block from (presumably) oomfie's old skeets doing numbers *while I'm not even active on here* is extremely funny

The ADHD has decreed it. The Live Read continues.

oh no i clicked next and started reading chapter 16, how could this happen. anyway.

Everybody's making bad decisions, and there's like a half dozen speeding trains all on a collision course. It's time to live read Chapter 14!

Holy shit, they did it. They wrote the headline.

After a long delay due to [REDACTED], it's finally time to live read another RCBG chapter

credit cards shouldn't tell you what to buy. you're supposed to tell the credit card what to buy. thats the point i think

If Trey Parker and Matt Stone successfully goad Trump into blowing up the Paramount/CBS deal it will be the funniest thing South Park has ever done

Allowing ‘no Blacks’ and ‘no trans’ while banning ‘no zionists’ is insane

Bonkers. I have always enjoyed working for WotC in the past but have never been able to make it a priority because the rates are not very competitive. Imagine if an illustrator got to see some sort of royalty in the .01 of a percent range, that still comes out to $20k here

Lucy Ends Uncertainty With Promise Regarding Football, Charlie Brown Says

I think some people have trouble seeing fascism as anything other than 1940s Germany. But I think 'people going to a comic convention needing to have a plan in case the government's goons show up to disappear people' is a pretty good demonstration of what it can look like in 2025.

Some people don't feel as close to this as they ought to. Most of us are just a bad break or two away from winding up on the streets, and addiction & mental health crises can affect anyone. They're gutting services and rendering more of us disposable, and there's a carceral disposal system waiting.

This is an executive order that lays the groundwork for sending homeless people and people with mental illness to concentration camps to be "civilly committed." It was never going to stop with immigrants. This is horrifying beyond words. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Here's the thing: if you're trying to hedge your bets around Israel right now, you will either become evil or insane.
