"We just want the world to say we're the leader of Europe, we don't want to actually do the job!"

Trump has found a terrifyingly effective way to eliminate bad news: delete the data. From hunger and poverty stats to foreign investment numbers, federal agencies are being gutted—making it harder to measure the impact of his policies. lnk.thebulwark.com/3XKVWa0?utm_...

kotaku.com/zoopunk-gene... Oh man I got bad news.

Furries, do NOT buy this game if it is using any of that generative ai BS. Even if it is "just a little". This is how they slowly add it in and make it more accepted, and they WANT that. THAT is their plan.

In fairness the man incited a mob to attack her workplace a few years ago

Again, remember that one of the things people on the other site absolutely loathe about this place is the nuclear block button and the ability to just detach quote replies. There's a reason for that.

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.

NEW: The exodus of corrections officers from federal prisons to ICE comes amid shortages of critical supplies, from food to personal hygiene items, for both staff and inmates. It threatens to make the already grim conditions in these prisons even worse.

hey cis friends when i say we need you to be an accomplice, not an ally this is what i mean

You’re not beholden to respond to every rando that decides to challenge you on something just b/c they had or are having one bad experience. Some people on this app simply like being argumentative and confrontational for the sake of it (especially twitter/X refugees) and nobody is entertaining that.

while I’m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his “I’m alpha because I insulted you” thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say “what the fuck is wrong with you, old man?” on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.

You can just say no.

Full stop, Trump is a spy. He needs to be removed from office, arrested and sent to prison for the rest of his life.

Impeach, 25th Amendment, whatever it takes to remove ths corrupt, lying, violent felon from the seat of power from which he is destroying our country. 😡

ICE’s Detention Center outside Chicago was sued on October 30 for allegedly abusing detainees. One day later, a "system crash" lost all video footage that could have shown how detainees were being treated. trib.al/QwT3aqI

So it’s worse than we thought

I went to grad school to study health communication, and to me the CDC was an information source I cherished and a dream career goal. The current situation is heartbreaking.

I don't think this is real simply because the last time democrats *won* white people was 1964, but *if* this is real or even slightly right, the GOP is walking into Electoral Perdition

READ THIS!!

It's truly remarkable how thoroughly pathetic the richest man in the world is

“They attacked art first, for a reason.”

It has now been confirmed that the US invaders that crossed into Mexico to illegally place DOD signs on Mexican territory were US military contractors (possibly Marines disguised as civilians), the US has yet to issue an apology but admits to the action calling it a "mistake."

This is Ricardo Salinas Pliego, Mexico’s oligarch, who has donated to Trump and is currently trying to overthrow the Mexican government to avoid paying taxes and a deeper money laundering investigation into his cartel tied casinos. spookyconnections.com/2025/11/17/h...

Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

This administration is an example of the dangers of government perverting regulatory power for authoritarian ends! while at the same time Silicon Valley is also perverting its own power for authoritarian ends... and/or vaguely nihilist self-annihilation ig?

like there are a lot of messy trade offs with dipping into government regulation of tech/tech adjacent stuff but boy SV is really dedicated to forcing everybody's hand

When you have trillions being loaned to AI companies, frankly its amazing that GDP is only showing 3.8% growth. GDP stopped being a reliable metric for economic health even before the pandemic.

It hits different reading this whole thread.

This is the version of the post that everyone needs to see. And all you readers/authors despairing of non-comprehension, etc, we are gaining new fans of fantasy and SF. It might not be the fantasy or SF you personally read, but they're reading and buying where they weren't before.

Note for Democratic politicians: you don't have to start your condemnations of ICE raids with "We all want to catch violent criminals, but..." Just say "These raids have nothing to do with catching criminals and everything to do with terrorizing innocent minority groups."

ESQUIRE: “ICE is hiring literally anybody, and it’s terrifying… people who flunk the exam, criminal records… yet they’re allowed to tear children from their beds at night.” www.esquire.com/news-politic...

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

Don't mention NSFW and don't mention the word commission as well, to be safe. Sharing to help many. Keep going guys and be careful.

Leaders of a Minnesota church community didn’t report a parishioner they knew had sexually abused girls for year. They told his victims that once sins were “washed away in the blood of reconciliation,” they could never speak of them again. Truly chilling, from @jlussenhop.bsky.social & Andy Mannix

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

Good example of how an acronym can dehumanize consequences and mask what’s going on. Syntactically, “Diversity slayer,” “equity slayer,” or “inclusion slayer” sounds weird. They aren’t “slaying” these things; they’re promoting and supporting their opposites: segregation, unfairness, and exclusion.

Hey folks, I often do posts calling for indie developers to link me their games so I can signal boost them. Today I want to do something similar for all trans creatives. If you are a trans game dev, artist, writer, streamer or YouTuber, reply here with a link to your work. Only one rule: no GenAI.💜

A man held in ICE custody was found dead, hanging with his hands and feet tied. His family is demanding answers, and rightly so.

This is a pretty committed false flag.

ICE is basically the comments section with weapons.

I know several of my friends and colleagues use Scrivener for their writing projects so heads up! 👇🏾

Apparently P*ypal now asks for customer opinions on accounts sending invoices. If you are paying an invoice to a nsfw artist, do NOT mention NSFW in any way, keep it blank even. you risk both your account and the artists.

Republican judges are now openly using "George Soros" as a reason to reject lawsuits Jerry Smith, district judge for the Southern District of Texas: "The winners from [this decision] are George Soros and Gavin Newsom." "I dissent."
