We are not yet in the"storm billionaires and millionaires homes and set the pool on fire" part of political re-alignment We are in "no being neutral was never neutral and human dignity is and was always a right"part that were the normally politically apathetic cant tune/subscribe to apathy anymore

That feeling when you’re writing a book warning about dystopian issues with privacy that lie ahead, and you find them happening before you’ve even finished drafting the chapter. Sigh.

Do not let them lull you into compromise. Getting rid of Bovino isn't enough. Getting rid of problem agents isn't enough. Getting rid of ICE isn't enough. Keep fighting. Lives will continue to depend on it.

Leaflet is an excellent AT Proto alternative to Substack btw, highly recommend it for any writer interested in blogging without bloat. Streamlined, simple, easy to use

Piracy will remain inevitable for the foreseeable future because we do not have adequately robust digital archival technology. Every storage device on earth slowly fails/rots. You are not an antisocial, criminal force. You are doing your part serving as valuable cultural memory.

Tech companies' access to UK ministers dwarfs that of child safety groups www.theguardian.com/politics/202... Gee, it's almost like tech has broader relevance to government policy than just online safety and IP issues

Discussing Power scales and fiction are supposed to be fun. "Who would win Saitama vs Goku" has no definitive answer,because the stakes and systems were not built for the other. Same as lore,lore is supposed to be a fun exploration into a world and it's ok to just let people break-it.

If you are an ICE agent, and you have grandkids someday, understand that when they ask you what you did during this time, you will lie to their face out of guilt and shame. But none of us will.

Didn’t mention earlier, but Jacob posted this message on 1/8 re Fakku getting a new paypro for Fakku Unlimited “I'm gonna have a much longer writeup about what happened with the payment processor, card brands, etc coming soon, but we are just focusing on getting everything back to normal right now”

Real talk Appreciate the little things people do for you, because they won't be around forever It can just vanish-snaps finger- just like that

If you ban kids from things, it doesn't make things better for adults. If you make things better for adults, it also makes things better for kids.

I think its fucking crazy that Grok is actively generating deepfakes and csam as we speak but if I want to commission a nsfw painting of two fictional characters and pay it through paypal I could get myself and the artist banned from the site. Like honestly, fuck all of this.

Friend was venting a bit about struggling with "moot perception" and I think in 2026 some of you need to regain control and agency of your spaces. Having the "what will my followers think" mindset is self-harming. It's your account, with your rules, and every follower is a guest. Don't forget that.

3D adult animator Vega has been banned from Patreon. Vega wrote that Patreon took aim at the adult Blender artist’s content by claiming certain works were “non consenting art” x.com/V_E_G_A___/s...

Called it within 2 weeks they would turn off the free tap "edit" grok Only paying check marks/ subscribers know After government intervention Threats of country wide bans Will artists, online creators stay,leave What will it take? Lots of people have left the bird app before,will they return?

there's always that one mutual that never really interacts directly with you but they will always like your stuff and you will communicate with each other through the silent like button but never really exchanged any words. i see you moot. i wish you well. smooch

How are people just not tired of putting people in bikinis already?? Like even the die hard misogynistics are back to just sharing and retweeting the existing unending piles of consensual porn that actually has naked people. Like the novelty to make people naked was 3 years ago.

Man I wish more people got this it's not get rid of Trunk and we are buddies again. - people being kidnapped in daylight - congress did not bring trump to heel -international viewers saw the celebrations for aid cuts -people voted him in This will take over 130 years to repear the USA reputation

Porn and erotica are important and societally valuable forms of speech, and the defense of them, in the face of state and church attempts at repression, is a necessary political act.

Kink has an expansive library on talking about and regain back aspects of sexual autonomy Kink treats sex,as it as a human form of communication Traditional:"did you say anything" Kink:"they crossed your emotional boundaries, and actively disregarded your active calls to pause partcipation.

It isn't about fentanyl. If so, he would've attacked Mexico and China. It isn't about drug trafficking. If so, he wouldn't have pardoned the President of Honduras. It isn't about election integrity. If so, he wouldn't have tried to steal an election here. It's. About. The. Oil.

"project our will anywhere anytime" If anyone had any semblance of hope American soft power can ever recover,or that if Trump is removed things will go back to "normal" The fact this could happen,the fact this happened means no one will every trust America or it's people. Mob boss type admiration

Call your reps + please read the thread. Do it now, please. Script.

"we are running the country" Talks about putting millions into the countries oil industry to "fix it" We are watching a country get hijacked in really time. Once again America is hijacking a South American country in the pursuit of America's capitalist interests.

It’s a dark night when you look at the news and are forced to admit that you no longer believe in the power of the FIFA peace prize

This post is going to a cultural touch stone of the 2020's like it's says so much in just one paragraph.

X is dying again,but this one genuinely crossed a lot of saftey boundaries. People stay for engagement and because their back catalogue is their,but if users don't feel safe and can't recommend people on their page what's the point? No matter how "boring" bluesky is,boring is atleast safe.

I've been tracking the spread of nonconsensual deepfakes on X for more than two years. Here's a timeline of how Musk's leadership allowed the practice to flourish from a once-underground market to a viral trend, with little recourse for victims or legal enforcement. spitfirenews.com/p/grok-csam-...

I don't even plan on playing it when it comes out, rockstars poor treatment of it's staff just makes me realize that even if it's just one person I just don't like that kind of background to my purchases. I will probably play it it 3 years later when the hype is dead and actually reviews appear.
