Only incompetent and inefficient team managers need this amount of time to make sure what gets done gets done.

Freudian psychologists studying the fascist mindset following WWII have long commented that violence becomes the substitute for sexual release in the fascist's mind; celebration of death replaces celebration of life, making fascism a death cult in the truest possible sense

if you say shit like "creators" instead of authors or writers or directors, and "content" instead of movies, books, series, etc..you shouldn't be able to say anything about art >i just don't like mozart's content get into the locker, freak

they'd show 45 guys getting their skin peeled off like a wet potato before they let two dudes kiss or a trans personally generally exist

3/ Tech fascism in a nutshell: “Computers are so much more rule-based, controllable, fixable, and comprehensible than any human will ever be. As many political schools of thought do, these technolibertarians make a philosophy out of a personality defect.“ She wrote this in 2000!

“we just want to protect kids online!”

Mm-hm.

Hey, so, survivor of CSAM (child sexual abuse material) here—and a global survivor advocate, including policy work! Fictional material is not illegal. That’s actually why deepfakes are such a big issue for survivors too. That said, actual art should *not* be made illegal. Why? (Con’t)

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

"I want less sex and nudity, you know, like foreign films" yeah they're not actually watching movies. I've never seen more sex and nudity than I have in foreign film lmfao

they also all only talk to each other

the fact that so many people frame autism as “a problem that needs to be solved” is a constant reminder that being “not normal” isn’t acceptable to a large amount of the world. it’s the same reason there’s a trans panic right now too. they think people are defective

This is the kind of thing you'd see on a newspaper slide of a Fallout 3 loading screen

as silly as Jimmy Kimmel of all people getting some folks to dip their toes into direct action, this is an opportunity we can take advantage of. have some family you want to reach re: censorship online, and you see them responding positively to the kimmel situation? Use this as an opening!

I had some hope for high-risk processors early on, but this is another piece of evidence in a pile of them that it's not the answer. We habe to fight for what we have or lose everything

This is a very American pathologizing of intimacy in fiction/play, I'd note. Somehow, it's weird when players want the characters to get together and not weird how most of the game design is around murdering stuff (and other systems are vestigial).

there's always a John Waters quote, it seems

Possibly GD² because they're actively shitting the entire global infrastructure like cartoon villains looting the planks of the ship they're aboard

OCD does not mean “clean freak” Psychotic does not mean “dangerous” Schizophrenic does not mean “doomed” Bipolar does not mean “moody” Borderline does not mean “abuser” PTSD does not mean “just needs to let the past go”

His face looks like a rotisserie chicken that sat under the heat lamp too long.

Hey a thing I really don’t want to get lost here is that while Tylenol doesn’t cause autism, IT’S FINE TO BE AUTISTIC. Let’s not grant them the premise that autism should be eradicated in our way to correct the science, okay? Okay.

Too late, Batman. Once this Tylenol floods the city's water supply, my wiki won't run out of editors ever again

Reminder that the entire modern anti-vax movement was created by a guy who first licensed all the separate components of a singular breakup of MMR vaccines and then fabricated a study saying the MMR vaccines caused autism. This is Andrew Wakefield's dream fully come true.

One reason I do not think Trump is going to create a 1,000 year reich is because he failed to cancel a middling funnyman and immediately pivoted to trying to outlaw not having a headache.

Sigh. Read Cyberlibertarianism.

You know, you're allowed to say Christian.

Winter is coming.

Whenever sites come up with new rules like this I thing about how if you were a creator who was making something every bit on the level with a hugely popular and acclaimed series, would you be allowed to share it? Like, if you were sitting on the next Game of Thrones, you couldn’t share that here.

Re: TOS changes. Only allowing mental health stories that are positive is perpetuating the gross trend of only supporting mental health issues when it's palatable & sanitized All this does is stigmatize the ones who are still battling or don't have happy endings, that want understanding over inspo

This is exactly backwards. From the beginning, Kirk was the beneficiary of a large and highly organized network of dark money donors who were looking for a spokesman. No way he would have done what he did without patrons like Montgomery and Uihlein. Kirk didn't make money - money made Kirk.

This is a BAD idea from a tactical pov all this means is an issue that bsky mods do NOT want controversy around will have NO posting about it for a full week a large number of people who come back from the "blackout" will likely not start up the complaints again it hamstrings the cause

don't sleep on this one I laughed so hard I scared my cats

This platforms moderation is currently unable to tell the difference between artistic/non-sexual nudity and explicit pornography How do you expect them to be able to differentiate between consensual and non-consensual?

Also, people did not stop posting porn on tumblr after the ban. They stopped tagging. You can take fire and gasoline to a site and porn will still be there, now just out there without any protections that used to make it safe to navigate

Okay on a happier note... 👏NORMALIZE👏FAT👏DRIPPY👏T-DICK👏

Good luck with that

DO NOT go back to twitter that is the hitler site. i am dead serious with this shit. its main role as a de-facto organ of the trump admin is to facilitate nazi propaganda. you cannot be posting your doodles on the "euthanize all trans people" forum just because they still allow pornography

the thing people keep tripping over themselves to misunderstand is that fictional portrayals of non-consensual scenarios are, by the nature of being fiction, consensual. and this is not paradoxical, nor is a guy getting shot in a movie and then showing up to the premiere. it's just in the story

Btw., it is HILARIOUS to see this dude believe that age restrictions would be harmful to Big Tech instead of a gift presented to them on a silver platter. If we had to scan our IDs to register on social media, that means if we ever say anything the techbros hate THEY CAN JUST LOOK UP WHERE WE LIVE.

Age restriction stuff is a Trojan horse. People pushing age verification define being queer as pornographic and are trying to ban it/make it so odious that everyone is scared back into the closet or killed. Along with it, the things needed to verify one's identity are government documents...

Please add David Frum to this list. Bro is out there breathlessly decrying all this and conveniently ignoring that he was part of the cabal that set the table for all of this in the GWB days.

Stephens, Tucker, Rove, Kristol, you gotta stop boosting the lot of them. They know what they are doing, if they handwring enough they can launder their past support for reactionary politics and be part of whatever comes next. We shouldn’t let them and we shouldn’t be posting “look even so and so!”

from car dependence to employer-based health insurance to impossibly high rents, our entire society is just a series of scams designed for the singular purpose of trapping you in abusive, parasitic cycles of dependence and degradation. and if you try to change it, you're spat on for being selfish.
