I'm not saying we need to be friends with or welcoming to bigots or bad people. Absolutely protect your peace. But. When the government comes calling, don't be on the side of the government.

A PhD student at Stanford noticed her classmates were asking Al to write their breakup texts. So she ran a study. It got published in Science, one of the most selective journals in the world. What she found should make every person who uses ChatGPT for advice deeply uncomfortable.

“Anthony Comstock was a mono-maniac,” says Amy Sohn, author of The Man Who Hated Women: Sex, Censorship, and Civil Liberties in the Gilded Age, a book about Comstock. “He was obsessed with purity and chastity.” Comstock Act nearly toppled Playboy. Now, it's targeting abortion pills by mail.

Again, please share. In every aspect of American history you will run smack dab into the critical contributions of Black people. It’s not Black history. It’s American history. Trying to erase it is a fool’s errand. We live it every day. time.com/5836444/blac...

GOOD NEWS! Researchers at Stanford University have developed a UNIVERSAL vaccine known as GLA-3M-052-LS+OVA, that protects against a wide range of respiratory viruses, bacteria AND even allergens. The vaccine is delivered intranasally AND provides broad protection in the lungs for several MONTHS.

Mercy: Actually I really want to meet your mom because I'm going to terrify her Me: But you're too beautiful to be terrifying. Mercy: Yes but I'm going to walk over to her and say "I'm Black, I'm trans, I'm an atheist, I hate Israel, and I have your daughter." *evil laugh*

The last time I was on Twitter I got served an AI video of caricatured Muslims attacking a screaming white woman, and then actual real video of a young person whose parents caught them twerking at a tablet camera in their bedroom and started beating them with a belt. I used to like Twitter but: no

nobody making art about trans women wants us to be women, even other trans people. they want us to be something pathetic and wrongly shaped, forever grasping for womanhood, forever failing. they want us to be the tragedy of gender made flesh.

Turns out Bungie's devs were trying desperately to make everything we'd asked for. Why didn't we get it? Management. Meddling. Sabotage. Greed. You name it, corpo fucks were to blame. They should be skinned alive and dunked in acid. Fuck Pete Parsons.

It is 2018. The internet is mad about a cartoon with queer themes. It is 2019. The internet is mad about a cartoon with queer themes. It is 2020. The internet is mad about a cartoon with queer themes. It is 2026. The internet is mad about a cartoon with Queer themes.

This is great. Kind of an insane thing to do one day after his huge finale show, and very funny. Plus ratings already beat Whiskey Friday wth Tony Dokoupil.

We have records of diabetes diagnoses going back 2,500 years. We only developed a reliable treatment (insulin) 100 years ago. Now we might have a cure. What an amazing thing to get to witness.

Stardew Valley inventory: the musical

It only takes a few minutes to tell the FCC that this sucks

Five nights at Freddys guy can continuously donate to republicans, jk Rowling can ruin entire branches of politics with a hatred legal defense fund, but the digital circus and Steven universe creators were queer and made choices fans didn't like and for that they get hate campaigns to ruin them.

Enough with the goonerbait shit. I'm tired of women being treated like sex objects for the SIN of having a certain body type. Here's the thing. Women can and DO have all kinds of body types. All of them are valid. All of them are sexy. Saying one only exists for objectification IS objectification.

This is making me lose my mind. Are these people so divorced from their own imagination that they can’t even understand that artists are intentionally not depicting reality?

When politicians say they can't hold corporations accountable, remember: they can. They just choose not to.

I genuinely love most of my clients. But I have to be honest: the consult I did today who said I was wrong about their issue because I didn't go to an ivy league law school and therefore I'm not smart enough to understand the law,

People are very comfortable imo dismissing biphobia and that in itself is part of the issue

In northern Gaza, we live surrounded by fear, hunger and destruction💔🕊️My newborn baby girl, only days old, suffers from a serious heart condition and urgently needs €250 for treatment🫀😔You stood with us before please don’t ignore her now🙏 Any help or share matters🫂 Molly Shah ✅ gofund.me/bee000d3a

This is a monstrous bill. Just horrific. And it's progressing, so the time to call is now.

Reparations just aren’t feasible unless you’re a felon...

Is 20XXpo safe for queer folks? Unequivocally YES. Seattle was chosen for a reason. One of our owners is a trans woman (@blazebops.com), and EVERYONE deserves to celebrate our favorite Blue Guy. 🍋💙 www.kickstarter.com/projects/20x...

Hasan Piker on Hunter Biden going on podcasts to defend his father, President Joe Biden, on Israel "Your dad's a fucking butcher. If you're gonna go out and defend your dad or entertain this conversation on Israel, you're trying to redeem your father, and then you're culpable."

stop generating crap you look stupid! 🐟

if you are wondering why: it's specifically a nazi term used to punch down

let this be a message to Americans who join the military. the GOP will campaign on your death and use their power to delete your existence from the history books once it becomes inconvenient.

CIS PEOPLE TIME TO STEP UP it’s once again time to yell at our bad government via online comment form the FCC is trying to make trans and nonbinary content require special ratings on shows GLAAD has a good writeup on it below TELL ‘EM NO direct link to comment form: www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filings...

one thing that pisses me off most about the 21st century is that, especially now, is that the system could easily be set up to where most of us just have all the taxes we owe taken out automatically, and everyone else just gets a letter telling them what they owe. this matters more than you'd think

I do not want GenAI in fanart. I do not want GenAI in character design. I do not want GenAI in world design. I do not want GenAI in writing. I do not want GenAI in storyboarding. I do not want GenAI in voice acting. I do not want GenAI, period. If any piece of media uses GenAI, I don't want it.

Listen Mac, this guy is rubber, so be like glue - stick to him! His long arms won't mean anything once you get up close. X marks the spot for a knock-out, baby!

I am going to make an absolutist statement that I believe is about as close to infallibly true as you can get in our complicated world: As a worker, no one who is urging you not to unionize has your individual best interests at heart.

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 26-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 2.4 MILLION people in Sweden found NO EVIDENCE to support a causal link between acetaminophen (the API in Tylenol) use during pregnancy and increased risk of autism, ADHD, OR intellectual disability in children.

Creatives don't owe you shit. They fundamentally do not owe you shit. They made something. You saw it. There was never any responsibility involved. They don't owe you a "better version" of the work. They don't owe you "less problematic writing". They don't owe you more episodes. You deserve nothing.

This needs to be said. Again.

OGs download MP3s off of Youtube and store them on local drives to listen to.

Fucking stop using fucking Spotify just fucking stop. There are no excuses. If you're an indie artist and you prop up Spotify because you think it helps you you're part of the problem. Stop using it to listen. Stop using it to host your music.

McDonald's Japan started running a new ad where they recreate "I can't defeat Airman" to advertise iced coffee, but the video is region locked on twitter so fuck em here's the video with English subtitles.

I feel so bad for Gooseworx. It's a dark day for artists/creators when you see exactly what can happen to you for just wanting to make something fun (that everyone can enjoy for free) only to be treated like absolute garbage by your so-called "fans" because you made a cartoon they liked.

My heart sincerely goes out to Goose and the TADC cast and crew. They made an amazing, fun cartoon and they deserve the world. Yet at the same time, the world keeps spitting in their faces because of it. They don’t deserve the amount of cruelty thrown at any of them

Cops are complaining their feelings were hurt when they got pranked by an Indigenous TV production mocking white supremacists. The series has been frozen by the CBC and won't air

The bill wouldn't have passed without 8 Democrats voting for it.
