Clearly past time for me to do some new fractionation files...

What's this? A new playlist of FREE files? From the Hypno Collective? All designed to fractionate the fuck out of you? FOR FREE?!??! thehypnocollective.com/playlists/fr...

This has been the censors' brand for over sixty years. They erupted over Mapplethorpe, campaigned to defund the NEA, blamed AIDS on porn. Christian Nationalism always lurked under the surface, but just shocking when it's publicly stated in such racialized, nationalist terms, Don't forget it.

Once again, sex workers and porn artista were among the first early adopters of bsky. They built the platform up and brought their audiences with them. Now that they have enough mainstream appeal, they want to exile the very people who made their site worth being on. A tale as old as time.

At a time when US AID is already devastated, Exodus Cry and NCOSE are demanding that additional foreign aid be contingent on criminalization of sex work. A new bill would add provisions to the TVPA that further conflate sex work with trafficking. www.einpresswire.com/article/9158...

Hard to express just how utterly divorced the political rhetoric around porn is from the reality. I've worked in the industry for more than 20 years. I see porn all day long. I have never once seen necrophilia or bestiality on an adult site. But that's what's being used to push antiporn laws.

We've got a good amount of rain over the last few days, I hope it helps our drought. Spotted towhee using the water dish in the drizzle yesterday afternoon. #birds

I've picked up a whole bunch of followers these past couple weeks, it seems, so a reminder that I maintain (irregularly) a big list of Notable Free PC Games. Mostly beefy ones Games are expensive. The economy is terrible. If you've got a halfway functional PC, you WILL find something great in here.

AI always calling your ideas “fantastic” can feel inauthentic, but what are sycophancy’s deeper harms? We find that in the common use case of seeking AI advice on interpersonal situations—specifically conflicts—sycophancy makes people feel more right & less willing to apologize.

“The Al is not just telling you what you want to hear. It is training you, one conversation at a time, to need less friction, expect more agreement, and become slightly less capable of handling a situation where someone pushes back on you”

the wikipedia image for sexual roleplay is making my lose my mind

Just wanted to say it's pretty cool to see so much support/interest in the game I'm working on even in it's early, ugly phase Gonna keep giving constant updates. Hopefully I can get something playable relatively soon

The politicians who propose and enforce a ban on data centre construction for AI are going to be the most popular across party lines, I can tell you that much. Everybody fucking hates having this in their backyard, and it isn’t producing anything of value! We have the data to prove it.

If you're doing callout posts about artists creating fictional taboo content, you may not consider yourself a fascist, but you are one. You are their stupid tool at the bare minimum. The good news is you can stop doing that at any time

Once again: German universities were the envy of the world before the Nazis rose to power and took an ideological wrecking ball to the entire enterprise. If you want to know how long it took for German universities to recover… they haven’t.

It’s truly astonishing to see how comprehensively the US government is tearing down every part of the system that has made it up until now a world-leading power in science, research, and technological development. The entire world will suffer from this wanton destruction.

I just think it's absolutely weird for the Bluesky devs (yet unsurprising of them) to punish users for using the tools they literally provide to them such as those content labels Why would someone label their posts as "adult" when Bluesky could essentially censor them anyway with no recourse?

But wait, there's more and it makes this new label worse than I thought. Even if you enable adult content & have the filter on "show", it still hides the account under a content warning (or hides it completely in countries like the UK) bsky.app/profile/deen...

To @bsky.app & @support.bsky.team, we already have tools available that help users filter out adult content if they don't want to see them. Plus, there's user-made blocklists on here people can use if they don't want to see accounts with adult content in them Maybe inform users about these tools?

To make matters worse, one of the users hit with these warnings apparently had the label removed from their account, but his profile is still censored despite the fact neither his avatar nor his banner contain NSFW in them. Something is amiss

This new Bluesky label leaves users who only want to see SFW posts from someone who may post tagged content on occasion with no way to see their posts other than seeing all their posts including labeled content To put it simply, users hit with this content warning are NERF'd. It's all or nothing

The new label was placed on some accounts lately. I don't see how this feature helps anyone other than discourage users from putting content labels on their adult posts as they have & should've done for the past few years which filters their NSFW posts from their SFW posts bsky.app/profile/loos...

I'll say what Bluesky fails to address in v1.122 They've rolled out a new "adult content" tag applied on an entire account, hiding all their posts from users, including text posts, even if they may be SFW This update, while well-intentioned, defeats the whole purpose of the content filters system

I constantly get "wellllll you can be addicted to anything, dopamine is a horribly adictive drug your body makes and so feeling good and especially sex is bad" and like, guys, its okay, you dont have to be puritans. That stuff isnt true.

Getting SO MUCH done on the LearnHypnokink.com rewrite. Originally it was about 18000 words, and now it's up to 28000. For context, The Brainwashing Book is about 36000. I want to keep it nice and manageable and short, but it's definitely going to be more thorough -- I'm adding/changing a TON!

I cannot stress it enough, but if you pledge even to the smallest tier of artists' Patreon/Ko-Fi/whatever subscription service they are using, you are already doing a lot. If you are regularly sharing art with others, reposting or sending links their way, you are already showing support and care.

Perpetual mood:

Love it when it feels like a hypnotist's voice is touching the back of your mind

This is, as they say, *chef's kiss*

#savespeech #stoppaypros Opposition works. Raising your voices WORKS. We CAN beat back censorship and change minds, but we NEED to keep up the calls and the fighting. stop-paypros.neocities.org

Watching a series of former Confederate states rush to eliminate any vestige of black representation in the House pretty much answers the question whether the Voting Rights Act was still necessary.

“If you're in the US, you'll be able to sync your medical records with the app to be able to view lab results and medications within its interface. Google said it will store your data within the app itself, and you'll be able to control how it's used and shared.” 🙆🏿‍♂️

Important to note: If you track your cycle with Fitbit for any reason, Google has that info. That's not great for lots of legal reasons. So, y'know, if you haven't ditched it yet, now is a great time. (I switched to a Garmin when I saw Google was taking over Fitbit. And a regular calendar.)

There is more Science™ to be done, friends. forms.gle/bLiVpki46kHw...

Terrible is a matter of perspective. Perhaps I'll turn down the volume on the next experiment... www.chaotichypno.com/binaural-exp...

Late to the party (or am I?):

also, my understanding is that the US senate will be voting on the SAVE ACT/ SAVE AMERICA ACT -TOMORROW- (saturday the 20th) so PLEASE call and yell at your reps about that one specifically literally right now

I've fought this fight for over two decades, and I can not stress how much personal shame around masturbation drives censorship politics. People are upset that they can't repress their own desire and they desperately want someone else to blame.

Hey, if youre like me, i know that it's hard to keep track of everything you need to call your reps about right now this isnt exhaustive but here's a script with a check list of issues that demand attention right now. I'll likely be add more later CALL YOUR REPS www.congress.gov/members/find...

You want to be a good girl. You like being brainwashed. If those things are true, I've got an excellent place for you to start. It's even in keeping with the theme of #ThoughtlessThursday Follow along. www.chaotichypno.com/so-you-want-...

This #WhimperingWednesday, take a moment to ponder just how much whimpering would occur if you were, say, overwhelmed by some powerful (and hungry) be-tentacled entity. If you're into that, of course. Or, try it and find out. www.chaotichypno.com/heavy-prey-t...

Hm. #TranceTuesday, or #TrainingTuesday? ¿Por qué no los dos? (I really need to revisit these in the near future...) www.chaotichypno.com/behaving-lik...

I wonder how long it would take, on a #MindlessMasturbationMonday, for you to short-circuit your brain entirely. Definitely worth testing...or we could apply a bit of additional leverage via binaural. ¿Por qué no los dos? www.chaotichypno.com/short-circui...

It's #SleepySunday, and you're awake? Surely you'd rather have a bit of a "nap," hm? Perhaps you already are, and haven't realized it yet. This way, let's find out. www.chaotichypno.com/you-are-not-...

Very late on this #SymbiontSaturday But never too late to discover the symbiont, or to touch it just once and see what happens. Go on, give it a try: www.chaotichypno.com/symbiont-bla...

This #FixationFriday, consider the last (for now) of the brainwave images: Is it easy to fall into the rhythm, and to stare awhile? Do the colors make you feel receptive? I've been considering making more of them, after the pending stuff is finally done. www.chaotichypno.com/brainwave-im...

What's the best way to hit your goal (of mindlessness) for #ThoughtlessThursday? Stop thinking, sit and relax, and try out this script. Simple, hm? Go on... www.chaotichypno.com/binaural-bra...
