“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

I whole heartedly endorse uh... Telling them what you think about their new TOS in email form. They still use their old moderation email. [email protected], the email predates the current reporting system and we used it back in the invite only days.

Before the events of Sep 10th, KOSA was reported to be dead in the committee. Now they're using said events as an excuse to try to get the bill through. Just because the debate guy got killed for his free speech doesn't mean they should take away yours. Linking resources below

ftr this isn't the first time bluesky has done stupid as fuck shit. I was here in the trenches in 2023 watching them pull dumb moves and get yelled down by everyone to back down, successfully. the people running this place are not on your side but they are hilariously easy to bully. go hard.

“Tech leaders at WSJ’s Technology Council Summit said it’s nearly impossible to measure the impact of AI on business productivity.” Except that MIT already has. m.economictimes.com/magazines/pa...

Absolutely no. Nope. Stop it. This shit's creepy and whack. Stop it stop it stop it lol Also: “We’ll never put words in his mouth that aren’t in line with things he spoke about in his lifetime,” Start the timer on how fast this will go sideways by day 2.

Just looked up out of curiosity and turns out I was on Charlie Kirk’s Professor Watchlist. Am I supposed to mourn the person who spent the last six years trying to end my academic career? He wouldn’t mourn my death: he tried to accelerate my death! www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/st...

Reminder to the thoughts and prayers crowd that the pro-fascist, pro-theocracy, 'submit to your husband', anti-gay, anti-trans, hateful bigot who just died said that the cost of lives lost to gun violence was just the price we have to pay in this country for that 'right'. Fuck him. Rest in Piss.

Hm. So let me get this straight. A right winger that said that gun deaths are "unfortunately worth it" in order to keep the 2nd Amendment... Got shot?

This is the one we should be talking about btw.

This sounds wacky but it is backed up by science.

You are under no obligation to mourn the death of people who would’ve celebrated yours.

If Kirk wanted respect in death he should have earned it in life by not advocating for the ideologies and conditions of suffering that created such violence in the first place It is sad there was fatal shooting, it is not sad that he was the victim Unfortunately, his ilk are not gonna learn->

I would like to take this opportunity to remember Melissa Hortman, a serving Democratic politician assasinated by a right-winger.

This was spotted on a protest sign today and is too good not to share. It is spot-on.

If you're in the states, the Better Business Bureau is your friend

Oh my gosh, getting in touch with the BBB WORKED. PayPal is restoring my account and I should have access to my money again. If you are in the US or deal with the US PayPal and your account is randomly, without warning, and without explanation closed down, file a complaint with the BBB!

Crunchyroll started as a piracy website that would steal the work of fansub groups and lock it behind paywalls, which caused Fansub groups to literally encode messages during the "Brought to you in part by these sponsors" segments, warning viewers that if you paid for the subs, you got scammed

Hi authors! Please remember to file a claim!

PLEASE do this if you haven't already it takes sub 5 minutes to do and it's the last day to fill out! 👇👇👇👇

the usual vagueness is present here that is usually a bad sign to come for adult content. bluesky is taking feedback on the guidelines at this link below. Let them know these are not satisfactory docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... points that need addressing are: [cont]

HEY! FELLOW FURRY PORN ENJOYERS!! THE DEADLINE TO FILL THIS FORM ENDS ON THE 28TH T O M O R R O W Go let Bluesky know your grievances about their vague guidelines NOW Or face the possibility of us artists being kicked from the platform! This DOESN'T just affect nsfw art, it affects EVERY artist

Y’all this is literally how we can fix things. Especially in the coastal cities it’s basically free energy AND clean water.

If you’re new to the fight, please don’t be afraid to get involved! A lot of the ppl fighting since Day 1 need reinforcements or backup

American worker pay increased by just 3.6% in 2024. CEOs, on the other hand, saw their pay rise twice as fast -- over 7.7% increase. Median total pay for bosses at the biggest corporations rose to $19 million last year.

gAI art is bad because it's stealing labor. stealing labor from art is easy because no one sees art as labor, they see it as talent. they see it as talent because it's easier to believe they have a right to hate you because they can't stand they gave up and you didn't. fuck them, pay labor.

🧵 “Target is experiencing its 6th straight month of declining foot traffic, with store visits down nearly 8% and a $12 billion loss in market value following its rollback of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives.” Heads up, anti-DEI investors www.blackenterprise.com/target-decli...

"...BUT LET'S BUILD THE ENTIRE WORLD ECONOMY ON IT!"

This is the part where they're going to pretend every single one of us who were correct about "AI" for the past few years actually wasn't, because that would mean the media, tech executives and most of Wall Street were wrong.

I actually want more of this. I want ai companies to land all sorts of highly visible contracts with low stakes that they publicly flub. I want everyone to understand this shit doesn't work before it's integrated into something life threatening, like, say, hospital scheduling.

#SaveSpeech its the work week, so remember to contact your US representatives! Tell them to OPPOSE the following bills: Kids Online Safety Act (s.1748) Interstate Obscenity Definition Act (s.1671) SCREEN Act (s.737) FADPA (H.R.791) ACPA Block BEARD Act www.congress.gov/members/find...

It's becoming increasingly obvious that the internet we've had for the past 30 years is being actively dismantled. We need to start taking proactive action to protect data and lines of communications on websites that haven't been affected yet, before they are. Censorship is rapidly coming.

I'm seeing fewer posts about the Visa and Mastercard situation, and I want to make it plain as day. You need to keep calling and bothering them and losing them money. Because if we lose this, they are going to cut more and more from what's available until you can only buy what they approve of. ⬇️

Good morning. This is a reminder to keep calling the paypros. Don't give up, dont stop. If you do, you are accepting living in a world without big titie anime girls. DO YOU WANT THAT?

Reminder: If Visa and Mastercard are allowed to limit what games you buy, there's nothing stopping them from limiting what food you buy, where you buy your clothes, what services you're allowed to pay for, and more. This is a fight for your freedom to spend your money on your terms. Keep calling!

I drew this on my lunch break your excuses are fucking pathetic

If you’re looking for a little uplifting news to improve your mood heading into the weekend I recommend reading every word of this article. 💙❤️

This directly pertains to being LGBTQ+, making art, making LGBTQ+ art, and making adult content, and will affect your ability to do any of these on the internet. Go fill this out and tell them to clarify their guidelines and stand up to fascist censorship pressure. It takes five to ten minutes.

SPEAK UP!!! WE DON'T NEED ANOTHER FRICKIN SOCIAL TO NUKE NSFW CONTENT ONCE THEY GOT ENOUGH USERS! CENSORSHIP ALWAYS LEAD TO BANNING QUEER, BPOC, DISABLED PPL IMPORTANT CONTENT NEXT!

because they don't tell you in the head or sub-head: the brand is DermaRite. there are specific products & batch numbers in the article

Holy shit Keep calling We’re going to win

it seems that, as a democrat, if you offer people policies and solutions other than "I'm not a republican" and "nothing will change", they will support you

I'll say it again: if you are terminally-online & have a vast reservoir of pent-up angry energy from feeling powerless as the world around you gets worse and worse it is 1000% more productive to direct that energy towards Mastercard, Visa, Stripe, and Paypal than any other target #SaveSpeech

This statement means more calling. Today my rep said there aren't restrictions on LGBTQ content. Curiously when I asked about adult content, they said my assumption that it's not supported at all was incorrect. I finally had to relent to email so we wait. 1-888-926-2289 Say you're from California.

This is the first comment we have seen publicly from Stripe about this situation. We need to keep up the pressure so they are forced to talk about more.

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?
