I believe that learning how to live together peacefully in this world is better than these deadly wars that harm civilians and innocent people.

A character commission I finished at the end of last year for @teight.bsky.social! Thank you so much for the opportunity! 🙌 #Commissions #ArtCommissions #TraditionalArt #CharacterArt

Maryland professional gamer, Ludovic Mbock of Oxon Hill, has been detained by ICE in Baltimore

fuck, I’m sorry, I can’t compete with this

For Israel & the U.S. to go to war during Ramadan is also a message.

a trans friend of mine from kansas moved to amsterdam and got a letter over there telling her that her ks license is invalid and she made a post about the parallels to the nazis and immediately she was hounded by cis ppl yelling at her for falsely framing herself as a victim of fascist persecution

Oklahoma is racing to become a data center hub. But there’s a question looming over every development: What about the water? Our investigation found massive server facilities already using huge volumes — with more projects on the way. Read the story:

"you drink liquids so fast" being swift at the watering hole allows me to elude predators

One of the things that personally drives me crazy in the U.S. is how youth sports/athletic activities went from a part of the public good (municipal leagues and fields! rec centers! public parks!) to a privatized, expensive, highly competitive, highly structured pursuit for wealthy kids’ résumés

BUGS! yes do you like bugs? do you like mechs? do you like knights? what about a mecha insect knight? this was a commission for a couple of weeks ago, a fully custom mech designed by me, let me know what you think! feedback is welcomed on the design too and more of him later #lowpoly #mech #3d

Discord lied. they’re now sending scanned IDs to persona, a third party company. “facial scans will never leave your device” -discord lmao.

Oklahoma regulators discovered strong signs of oil pollution, including high levels of salt and toxic metals, in one family’s drinking water. But for two years, they repeatedly delayed basic tests to find the culprit — then closed the case. @nickbowlin.bsky.social @readfrontier.bsky.social

Psycho Mantis did move the controller!

Disabled in current circumstances and disabled by current circumstances.

I cannot stand the "this is a good start" discourse. The Democrats in Congress do not want to abolish ICE. They have proposed a series of bog-standard reforms regurgitated by a think tank. Everyone knows they do not work. The Democrats supporting this do not care. They just want to move on.

The Biden DOJ just sat on all this??

By their own numbers, almost 50% of what Bluesky moderation gets up to is just manually labeling replies as rude. 👍

“Why do studios keep forcing people back into the office? Why do they hate remote so much?” It’s because if executives can see you doing the work, it makes it easier for them to pretend they participated in it, too.

Homeless shelters would lose public funding if they don’t comply with regulations set by the state, according to a measure proposed ahead of the 2026 legislative session. Read more about House Bill 3131 ⬇️ www.readfrontier.org/stories/okla...

Don't let Dilbert's death distract you from the Epstein files.

Listen Frontier: Inside Oklahoma’s data center surge and the potential hidden costs.

A hacker known as Martha Root broke in and deleted three white supremacists websites at the end of a talk during the annual hacker conference Chaos Communication Congress in Germany.

in all seriousness i do think…. we should all be a little more careful about positing pics of ourself online, especially on public platforms. it isnt safe, people are crazy and now you got ai undressing people, its not worth it!

A recent commission for @ninjacatmuffin.bsky.social of their OC, Pillar! Thank you so much for the opportunity! 💕 (The copper-gold bits were painted with a mixed metallic acrylic ink! Very shiny in the original work!) #TraditionalArt #Commissions #ArtCommissions

I think they should add Trump’s name to all of the federal buildings and monuments in DC. The Trump Lincoln Memorial. The Trump Washington Monument. The Trump National Mall. The Smithsonian Museum of Natural Trump History. If there’s a building that doesn’t say Trump on it that should be illegal.

The extreme attack on transgender youth we are witnessing from a governmental stage was enabled by The Atlantic and The New York Times.

I really fuckin hate these guys man they are killing millions including people who haven’t even been conceived yet with the stroke of a pen If this is the most powerful nation with the most global reach in history then what we are witnessing is the deadliest culling in history By dorks in neckties

Zohran: "I mean, think about when you fly.  We have made it such a difficult experience to go through TSA that there's now a financial incentive to sign up for a separate program that can move you through it quicker. We have monetized the dysfunction."

Once again, the total inability to challenge this narrative—for the blood curling fascism that it is—reflects an elite culture that largely does not see immigrants as humans of equal status. The neutral approach to the coverage is collaboration when these people are running rape and torture camps.

kind of funny that "you are not allowed to criticize the democrats for any reason" isn't seen as the highest expression of "purity politics."

feel like it should be a bigger story that the global war on terrorism is being replaced with a domestic war on terrorism

Republicans call this an ‘opportunity for consumers to negotiate’

if this is discrimination, I’m genuinely unsure what you’re supposed to do when a student responds to a prompt with some religious gibberish

4chan for boomers lol

One of the biggest shocks of my adult life was realizing there's a hidden division in society between people who think certain acts - cruelty, torture, murder - are inherently wrong, versus the majority of people who think there are no wrong actions, just incorrect targets.

software is full to the gills with wealthy white guys who only know how to sustain themselves off of trolling, baiting, and grieving other people and it is by no coincidence that a large chunk of them are also openly racist now. this includes this guy, he has admitted to as much.

Salt water laced with cancer-causing chemicals, a byproduct of oil and gas drilling, keeps shooting out of the ground in Oklahoma. Experts say it means even more wastewater is spreading underground, poisoning the state’s water supply. With @readfrontier.bsky.social

if I was religious I’d feel like I had something in life that god was calling me to do but I’m not so it seems more like “something I already kind of failed at” and “going to keep me from having money forever” idk

(spending 9 billion dollars to make a robot say "i have always loved you") hard times create strong men

Authoritarianism scholar & journalist Sarah Kendzior has been banned here for no apparent reason and the head of the "Trust and Safety Team" is currently sephirothposting about it in case you all are wondering about the state of this platform

Please understand that Americans who have a serious chronic illness essentially have no where to run to. (The immigration rules of countries with the kind of health care system it takes to keep me alive deny me admission because I'm seriously chronically ill, and, therefore, a 'drain on resources')
