My splendid translator in France, Mikael Cabon, asked me to support an urgent campaign, launching today, opposing AI being used instead of people. I do so willingly, and feel same on behalf of audiobook readers and bookworld artists. I hope readers worldwide will show their agreement.

ME: yeah could i get the impossible burger with cheese. THE VIZIER WHO'S BEEN ADVISING ME: ahh, an excellent choice sire. an imitation of the genuine article. there are some "friends" of yours to whom it bears a passing similarity ME: you want anything VIZIER: [chuckles] what i want is of no import

womp womp.

'Thank you for your feedback we're going to listen to absolutely none of it and we're going to keep banning Palestinians and trans people whenever we feel like it and we're keeping the vague rules that will let us ban artists with impunity.'

Netflix really came after me last year by making two highly stylized anime about autistic guys hyper focused on monsters, gotta be my favourite genre

You can still buy all their work. Being a rude, abrasive loudmouth while trans is the only unforgivable sin to these people.

One thing I'll say about DC not only canceling Red Hood, but recalling the first issue and refunding stores for buying it, is that you can still get Neil Gaiman's work through them. They still work with Otto Schmidt. Eddie Berganza worked there for years AFTER the formation of a policy that no women

These are precedented times and the precedent is a loud ass warning www.nytimes.com/1939/02/04/a...

This essay, by an Egyptian-American former New Yorker staff fact-checker, is an incredible read And incredibly damning Huge recommendation

In fact, many transphobic assaults are attacks on cis women who simply didn’t look “feminine” enough, and most of those women were women of colour. This isn’t “well they’re a tiny minority” that’s not what’s happening. This is only step one, so you better step the fuck up right now.

I just want to remind every cis person: You cannot prove that you aren’t trans, except by following your assigned gender role to the letter. It’s an unfalsifiable claim. They are doing this to us today so that YOU will feel compelled to fall in line tomorrow.

Trans rights are not the rights of a tiny minority, trans rights are everyone’s rights to self-determination, control of our bodies, and a society where opportunity and aesthetics are not restricted by sex assigned at birth You should support and defend trans people because trans people are people

News orgs HAVE to stop calling these porn bans. Yes, #HB4938, does also criminalize porn — also terrible — it goes far beyond that. LGBTQ+ sites, social media sites, community forums, Shakespeare, drag, a review of Mrs. Doubtfire, all punishable by jail $500K fine and twenty years in jail.

Charlie Kirk was a bad person and his death is cause for celebration, writes journalist Evan Urquhart. Read our very special free speech edition of Assigned Media. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

Called this years ago. If you don't think cis people will catch strays from unchecked, institutionalized transphobia, 1) you haven't been paying attention, and 2) you have a very limited understanding of how bigotry works.

"kirk was an interesting man and he was growing" dog he said the civil rights act was a mistake and that black women specifically have inferior brainpower

"Healthy debate" = when I criticize you "Cancel culture" = when you criticize me

this is the sort of evil thing you might invent a republican to say in a joke post, and people get mad at you because bad-faith exaggeration doesn't lead to positive debate or open dialogue

Y’all I’am ruaa and I am now just a few meters away from death. I cannot protect my family, nor do I have a place to shelter them. My thinking has collapsed, my brain functions have stopped. I am neither safe nor able to survive. Keep me in your thoughts

This is a form of child abuse. "A.i." damages people's ability to think critically, robs people of the joy and human experience of creating art, and exposes them to propaganda controlled by fascist billionaires. Obscene. Do not let your kids participate in this. Yell at anyone who pushes it.

We are not beggars—we are people starved on purpose, stripped not only of food, but of hope, of breath, of the simple right to live. And still, they rain their cruelty upon us, as if our suffering were not already enough. They kill you, then forbid your tears.

When kids develop suicidal ideations for being denied transition care, anti-trans activists accuse them of blackmailing their own parents.

HUMAN ARTISTS, use only one piece to convince people to follow you

once you've decided to make yourself ok with an atrocity, the main task is finding an excuse to not give a shit, and once you've decided to not give a shit, you don't really give a shit what the excuse is; once you've decided not to perceive atrocity, you also cannot perceive an atrocious excuse

transphobia is a fundamental tenet of fascism, so if a political party accepts transphobes in their ranks they are contributing to the normalization of fascism no matter how progressive the party otherwise claims to be

60 Minutes Australia ran a well-reported 20 minute segment on Trump & Epstein yesterday. But it’s been pulled from the internet. It would be a pity if this link to the report went viral archive.org/details/60-m...
