Some on the right, including Elon Musk, are misinterpreting the game Dungeons & Dragons—and the intention behind its original story—to further a racist agenda, @adamserwer.bsky.social argues: theatln.tc/YRKYtIjQ

Slop Evader is a tool from artist and researcher Tega Brain that lets you search the web for results exclusively before November 30, 2022—the day that ChatGPT was released to the public.

a hard pill to swallow is accepting that not everyone is going to fw you. even if you haven't wronged them. there are always going to be people that just don't like you. it sucks but it's true. the sooner u accept this and focus on the ppl you care about the sooner you will find peace

🚨 BREAKING: Zohran Mamdani to require all NYC students to carry a 3DS.

New: If you're queer, you know that the holidays can be rough. Maybe you have a bad relationship with your family and holidays carry painful memories. I spoke to LGBTQ+ Texans across the state about how they find community this time of year: www.chron.com/culture/arti...

New from 404 Media: X has shown where accounts are actually being run from, revealing many MAGA accounts are actually grifters in Eastern Europe, Asia, etc. But the situation is much, much worse. Entire guides specifically on how to squeeze US audiences with AI. www.404media.co/americas-pol...

one of the things that makes me most mad about genAI (and there are many) is we've been told there's not enough money for hiring. but there's billions poured into ai. so not enough money to hire workers. but infinite money to pour into technology whose goal is never having to pay workers again.

it's truly fascinating to live in a time in which anti LGBT violence is rising again and somehow Interview With A Vampire, the gayest show ever filmed, is on the air and wildly popular

Did you know that big studios monitor piracy? Don't you fucking dare pirate this shit. Do not hate watch through piracy. JK Rowling is a disgusting human being that funds and encourages the hurt, pain and death of my fellow trans peers. Support media that actually deserves our time and money.

THEY ADDED NEW GARBAGE reblog to save a life

As first reported by @msjpauly.bsky.social and @pablo.show, the Harris County GOP gave Riley Gaines $25,000 to speak at the 2025 Lincoln Reagan Dinner with Gov. Greg Abbott. Here's a little more context on that, plus Gaines' relationship with the Texas GOP: www.chron.com/culture/arti...

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

I really can't stress how important it is for progressive and leftists to contend for school, library, water, etc etc boards. Hyper local involvement in our communities where we can actually influence lives.

the nuzzi story is fun and all but at the center of it is the elevation of a man who has dedicated his life to making children catch preventable diseases to a position where he can enact harm at enormous scale

I’ve been a FreeTaxUSA proselytizer for years and years and I strongly encourage everyone to make the switch. same kind of step by step “for dummies” interface, even for my complicated freelancer taxes, and you don’t have to give your money to one of our most evil lobbyists

Apparently a lot of ppl needs to hear this #bskycensorship

I'm watching an adult creator get systematically cut off from every income stream by payment processors and now debankment could be on the table. She makes legal content. They are trying to shut her up and hope that we'll shut up too. We must get louder. Call Visa and MC. Tell them this will stop.

Jack Dorsey is real close to Musk. DiVine is made by RabbleLabs, on their site you will find a widget called "And Other Things" that takes you to another domain and explains a lot of stuff about their/Nostr's Ai. Most likely they just want a free dataset of tons of actual videos to train on.

Vampires (wip)

Banks should not have the ability to unilaterally deny funding to people who have committed no crime. It is bizarre that this is even an issue.

I might be putting my tin-foil hat with this but it's kinda weird paypros are pressuring and making it a living hell for NSFW artists and creators but every AI company released adult options at the same time... 🤔

From my time working in payment processing at JPMC, "high fraud risk" transactions were usually associated with drugs, guns, gambling, or dollar amounts that were unusually small or high for the type of businesses accepting them, not stuff like nerd hobbies. Definitely something is up at MasterCard.

Hey everyone, I’m trying not to lose insurance next year and I need help getting money for testing and fees. I think I need about 2k. If you can help spread this around or donate, I would appreciate it. ko-fi.com/casketsanctum

Wait, the same Singal who the BlueSky admins have gone to great lengths to defend while randomly banning all sorts of people who've done nothing wrong? Well, I'm sure we'll see a frank apology and earnest effort to make amends for unleashing this vile sociopath on the community.

This is the important thing: it can be done.

post art of fictional adults engaging in mommy/daddy kink roleplay and you get nuked off every platform as well as have your paypal nuked and every credit card on planet earth will refuse to touch your money and yet

For some reason this hasn’t got much coverage, and the coverage it has got has been poor, but it’s a massive threat to a resource that is so special for so many of us.

#SaveSpeech KOSA is continuing to pick up co-sponsors. You need to call your representatives and demand they oppose this bill! Use the links below to find your representatives and hammer their phone lines! 5calls.org/issue/kids-o... www.congress.gov/members/find...

And here we have @tombrevoort.bsky.social showing his immense nostalgia for sexism when he can get away with it. I’ll be more fully laying out the sexism of this later.

My partner requested I draw this scene 💘 #frankenstein #frankenstein2025 #art

i don’t want to compare them bc i think they’re both very different BUT something i do find interesting is how nosferatu depicts the grotesque as abhorrent yet undeniable (which makes it so disturbing) while in frankenstein the grostesque is beautiful and asks for admiration

One of the evil things about customer service support is when the company sends a survey to you after they don’t fix your problem and if you say you aren’t satisfied it counts against the person that delivered the news

like i think being in texas has numbed us to border politics and immigration crackdowns, and houston is such a siloed and spread out place. ICE abducts people all day in Pasadena but because it's far you don't know it unless you know people there

lol she got his ass and he knows it

The ACLU petition still hasn't reached it's signature goal? WHAT? That needs to change now. 200k signatures is nothing, let's GET IT. AT LEAST! action.aclu.org/petition/mas...

There's also a pretty big problem with where The Satanic Temple is most prominently directing people to donate as part of this food drive: The Satanic Temple.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

This wasn’t about leaking GTA VI. It was: Rockstar illegally firing union members to stop the studio from unionizing. it directly contradicts Rockstar’s PR narrative and confirms almost everything that people suspected was going on.

If it goes up, don’t cross the picket line. Collective action is the only way we ever get things done.

MrBeast hates Zohran because if people have access to basic necessities, it will demolish the Giving People Those Necessities As Part Of A Saw-Inspired Game Show industry

Zohran's success will hinge equally on what he is ABLE to do and how effectively he messages to voters when the federal govt of wealthy interests / police, etc in NYC deliberately sabotage things. we've seen this shit in oregon with elites lining up to torpedo progressive measures

actually doing revolutionary work means you also must contend with present material reality while building a movement for the future. it is hard to hold those two things at the same time without being subsumed by the former but not impossible

Can’t stop thinking about all the robber baron fucks that held secret meetings and spent MILLIONS AND MILLIONS in bribes and campaign investments and attack ads and media manipulation trying to tank Mamdani currently having the dawning realization that their money is completely and utterly useless.

fascist

I want you to think about the worst person you know and how miserable they are and use that as motivation to keep going we are going to win
