I'm taking submissions for all the most egregiously fucked disinfo, rabble rousing and rage-baiting bullshit you see around online atm. There's a lot of it - there always is during these terrible moments, but it only seems to get worse over the years. DM me, share with me, show me pls.

I beat one of the major age verification services using the Sims 4 (and this isn’t even the most ridiculous one I’ve found) Cartoon people with not quite human faces was deemed a person ‘old enough’ for social media This is how much of joke the whole theatre of it all is

Been rather dispiriting how much ink has been spilled by the gallery on MP expenses, while the report into mutual obligations has been pretty much ignored. @amyremeikis.bsky.social is on it #ThePoint (what is The Point? It’s not news, but it SHOULD be) thepoint.com.au/opinions/251...

"Just protecting women and girls"

I’m not shocked… …I’m deeply disappointed But also totally unsurprised. Good work Cam!

Will Stancil redemption arcs are technically possible in the way anything is, but come on. You do not get to launder years of reactionary nonsense with one pivot. Accountability is concrete. Patterns matter. Nobody is obliged to pretend he changed because he skeeted nicer today.

A decade ago trans people warned this would happen. The “gender-critical” transphobes have opened the door to a much wider attack on women’s rights, including on safe and legal abortion, birth control… I even managed to get this published in @opendemocracy.net in 2022

…As if this video itself isn’t already radicalising people For legislation that had bipartisan support, the country has already forget the LNPs involvement…this will be forever on 3 specific people’s heads

I have a sneaking suspicion that all this is from Steam not backing down on requiring disclosure. And that’s all they’re asking for; honest disclosure on if and how any generative AI is used. And it’s killing them that it has to be disclosed

My friend just sent me this t-shirt design and I need it so much.

everyone who wants Democrats to focus on throwing immigrants and trans people under the bus needs to explain why this is not going to be the end result

Rabbi here. The West Bank is absolutely occupied, in violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949, reaffirmed from the Fourth Hague Convention of 1907, Article 42. It would be helpful if people who didn't know what they were talking about didn't open their uninformed mouths.

It soothes my bitter heart to know that no matter how much money Elon Musk has, he will never, ever be funny t.co/QhuKU9HCxA

of all the people I expected to make excuses for pedophiles, Jesse Singal is certainly one of them

So no one who works at Bluesky has ever heard of Johnny Cash?

the thing is: not every tweet is a banger. even great writers struggle to find the right words sometimes. but even the biggest bombs and cringiest flops ever dreamt or penned by humans are feats beyond the ability of the most advanced LLM, because humans can produce original thoughts and LLMs can't.

The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon

Charlotte, whatever you intend this campaign to achieve, trans kids and adults will still be at risk of violence. It was never the phone that killed Brianna, it was children radicalised by the constant transphobia peddled by the media.

I’m kinda thinking of this for those of us in other countries too atm

CIS ppl please listen. this is not just New rules about what trans care is covered by Medicaid. any doc who gives ANY trans care will be punished. I don't want to go back to Street mones. this is just how the micromanaging starts. Mark my words. cisgender menopause treatments will be next.

Remember, if you accidentally misgender or deadname someone, it's very easy to just say "Shit, sorry," and then say the correct name or pronoun. The two important follow-ups are to not rend your garments and make it all about you and to then also make sure you work hard on not doing it again.

Trans people, feminists and a bunch of Jewish researchers pointed out the thinly veiled repackaging of antisemitic tropes by the Heritage Foundation back 6-7 years ago but because they were deploying it in anti trans rhetoric ("trans people are well poisoning child sacrificers) noone paid attention.

ah yes, landlords, a class of people famously very cool and normal about tenant rights and welfare

Get some Casey in your life She’s rad and plays rad games!

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

Oh, and after all the millions of dollars spent on advertising, the harmful policies and all the demagoguery... Stop. Picking. On. Trans. Kids. The Rs lost to me four times in six years. That should've been a hint. But apparently it wasn't, so the voters made their thoughts crystal clear tonight.

A lot of Very Serious People will be pretending to be confused about What This All Means as a way to avoid the simple inconvenient reality: Voters like it when candidates are kind sincere non-weirdos who are passionate about big popular ideas that will actually help real people.

Mamdani probably would have been expelled from the ALP

So Jurassic World Evolution 3 dropped recently…and I’ve had no desire to play it 1 was novel, with its…long campaign of managing 6 islands and getting your parks up and running with some unique challenges thrown in as well. 2 had more polish But 3 feels like the worst parts of all of the genre

Tony Burke is as bad as anyone in the Morrison LNP government, a power hungry, anti-democratic authoritarian straight from the private school system. He is the enemy of the people. #auspol www.sbs.com.au/news/article...

What's frustrating is that as I read this, I knew exactly the thought process Jamie Oliver had... "What's Korean food famous for? Oh yeah, Korean BBQ! I'll whack some BBQ sauce in there, that'll make it Korean." Good time to enjoy Anthony Bourdain reading that twat Oliver for filth.

Democracy.

Also Link's perma ban is wrong and should be reversed.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t it in the FBI playbook to disrupt left wing organising via quibbles like this? Like…why even do this?

These are the people Visa and Mastercard listened to when they banned steam games btw. the ones who are forcing you to upload photo id to use Al Gore's internet so they can "protect children"? these people. and this is not their first abuse scandal.

What middle and upper class cis het white people need to understand is that they only have as many rights as the most vulnerable do. You have only the rights trans people and immigrants do.

throne.mayawest.online Funds for eggs. and also myself tbh because what little savings I had just got cut in half for reasons beyond my control. don't send $ if you can't afford it. reskeets appreciated too 🖤

Don’t listen to anyone who minimizes the threat of a government that “only” wants to tighten the authoritarian surveillance noose for “some” people. THATS ALWAYS HOW IT BEGINS YOU FASCISM ENABLERS.

I mean…this is super basic business stuff. As a former ops manager, I can tell you of my experiences of being forced to interact with coked out rich white guys who can grasp this super basic principle. A comms manager/rep is who all questions go to and can be a scapegoat for when they fuck up

if you don’t actually want to run a social network, don’t brag about all the posts on your own product you hate

The all-knowing bsky mods gave Erin Biba a 24 hour suspension for a months-old skeet about Christian Zionism, and I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that this happened when she’s been vocally criticizing Jay

Suspending Erin Biba, a Jewish woman for this skeet is nasty work. Between this and intentionally misreading Link’s use of a meme as a threat, bsky mods are more than willing to ban based on the Spirit Of The Law for *some* posters but never Jesse Singal. bsky.app/profile/aman...

i love the domino effect of trans people asking the moderation team to take harassment of trans people seriously and instead decided to perma ban a black guy who was one of the earliest users here

lots of people know Łink from what he did to promote alt text usage here. this tip about pretending you’re describing an image over the phone has been burned in my brain since i saw it

This platform should have been a Discord server

I don’t know man lot of people have been capriciously banned or suspended for not violating the ToS, it’s clearly less about that and more about a personal point of pride and not letting your user base win. Kinda hard to read it any other way.

This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important

Is there a Waleed Aly Pitchbot yet?

Ruin a book by adding “Tom Clancy’s” to the title “Tom Clancy’s What To Expect When You’re Expecting”
