Yep, one of the biggest drivers of the elite panic around “wokeness” was the increasing prominence of Black people and particularly Black women in their fields and we’re seeing that coalition rewarded with the targeting of Black workers.

This inspired me

AOC on MTG retiring: "She's carefully timing her departure just 1-2 days after her pension kicks in and after making millions of dollars insider trading stocks for weapons manufacturers and others while in office."

Fun fact: this is explicitly why Dick Wolf created Law & Order: he violently hates defense attorneys and felt tere weren't enough shows about how defendants and their lawyers are scum (also when somebody "gets off on a technicality" that actually means the cops committed a crime against them)

This might be an unpopular opinion but what this baby seal is doing is very special to me, personally.

great. just what I need, my tax software telling me to kill myself

Smut artists and sex workers are crushed underfoot while AI gets a green light to steal your yearbook photo to make hard-core porn with the caption "AI GIRLS NEVER SAY NO"

If AI was so profitable all these hobbled together “companies” wouldn’t be hitting up my inbox incessantly, as they are with so many, to try to get me to hock their slop to you. They are desperate to try to get anyone they view as an influencer to sell their stuff, it is the same as any other scam

C'est le temps de ma plus grosse vente de l'année dans ma boutique en ligne ( shop.cabfolio.com) ! J'ai des prints, des collants, des livres dédicacés (ou pas) et une nouvelle carte de Noël pas mal cute. Toutes les infos ici! cabfolio.com/2025/11/vent...

My new favorite kind of meme is "here are detailed instructions on how to turn off AI". 🔨

Whistles are one of the most accessible tools in resisting ICE. Here’s how to use them:

private equity buys a company and immediately starts torturing their employees and the money

As posted in a few servers and was alerted to this picture earlier today: What they said. DO NOT FILL IT OUT, it is there to fuck with your artist peers and yourself, they (paypal) can and will abuse this and steal your money by banning your account

ARTISTS! You can DISABLE this feature! Protect yourself and don't assume that you're safe if you're an sfw artist!

Clarification: Accepting payments for commissions through Friends & Family is against TOS (which you agree to by making an account), and it is TAX FRAUD. Do not ask for comm payments via F & F. Dont let an artist convince you to pay this way, because your account can be taken down as well.

FYI: turning off "Smart features" also turns off spell check and the promotions and social tabs. And more. In effect, a lot of traditional tools in gmail are switched off if you don't let them upload your contracts, love notes, and sad messages to your friends into their plagiarism machine.

Japan choosing to *quadruple* residency fees for foreign residents is absolutely ridiculous. Takaichi’s government is saying, “We want fees aligned with Europe and the U.S.” Okay but Japan is not paying foreign workers EU or U.S. salaries! At ALL.

It’s widely known (and, I think, pretty uncontroversial) that learning requires effort — specifically, if you don’t have to work at getting the knowledge, it won’t stick. Even if an LLM could be trusted to give you correct information 100% of the time, it would be an inferior method of learning it.

If you're not off Twitter by now, what the hell are you even doing?

I love the way if you turn off AI in Gmail, it removes your tabs along the top and dumps everything into the main inbox instead, even though those predated AI by years. Talk about spiteful little fucks.

hello fellow artists. google has fallen. pinterest/duckduckgo AI filters don't work. do not despair; here is a list i made of places to find reference images without having to sift through piles of worthless garbage: doodlemancy.dreamwidth.org/20757.html 🚯 #NoAI #HumanArtists #ArtistsOnBluesky

Here's the alt text version of how to remove AI settings from Firefox:

That fact that you're not 100% sure if this is satire or not speaks volumes.

Since everyone is rightly focused on the Epstein files, now would be a good time to remind you: Child marriage is legal in 34 states across the US. That’s almost 70% of this nation. How about we end that?

Message to all faculty: your expertise is no longer trusted or valued at this so-called “university.”

To my fellow NSFW writers and artists, queer or not, PLEASE keep calling your lawmakers and tell them to vote 'NO' on KOSA (Kids Online Safety Act), as well as other horrible censorship bills like the SCREEN Act and IODA (Interstate Obscenity Definition Act) that will fucking ruin our lives!

If you ever wonder why your artist friend is so pissed off whenever they see AI slop used instead of real, human-created art, it's exactly what you think:

Hey. This is the BEST POSSIBLE SEASON to badger Visa and Mastercard into fucking off about their shitty fake-moral-panic over LGBTQ+ spending habits and content on retail platforms. Fuck ALL THE WAY OFF, VISA and Mastercard. No one wants to hear jack shit from you. You're a fucking receipt printer.

The thing about cruelty and inhumanity is that the limits of who is affected keep expanding and expanding until we shove it back the other way

Production of "Wildfire Sleepwalking" Chinese animated short film (30 minutes) by Zhang Kang is now complete. Here are some 4K screenshots.

Jesus Christ.

globally, indigenous people are left out of the conversation when it comes to OUR land. they treat us like WE'RE incompetent. lift indigenous voices WORLDWIDE.

love the current AI disclosure meta of "we have to disclose it or else Steam will let people refund our game at any point but we are not gonna take that lying down" so they add some pathetic attempt at heart-string tugging. Anno 117 and ARC Raiders btw

Please continue making calls to Visa and Mastercard, because they are working alongside conservative legislators to crack down on free speech and expression! A dual pronged offense requires a dual pronged defense!

im aware that im an outlier in how much i emphasize trans womanhood but literally nobody benefits from feeling shame around being trans. it does not help you and you CAN overcome it. i s2g some of you bitches talk about being trans like it's a dirty word and you gotta get over that shit.

Online Safety Act going great, they brought in an urgent care doctor to caution the Brits going cold turkey from porn. She warns of mass insomnia. I wish I were joking. Porn is not a drug. Masturbation releases the dopamine. Neither is bad. We are in the craziest sex panic of my life.

this goes right along with my theory that the AI obsession in *users* is often bc… 1. they were never educated (esp "ipad generation") & don't know how computers work 2. our tools and services are all SO AWFUL NOW, degraded at best, actively user-hostile at worst

a birdbrain, baby! #kasaneteto

Sick to my stomach that the President being mixed up with a horrifying global network of pedophiles is considered a 'voter issue' and not something the whole world needs to know about and people need to be prosecuted for. Only reason anyone would want people to ignore Epstein is if you're involved

i like seeing how polar bears keep their cubs warm

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back
