Everyone should be held to the same standards.

Denial of an entire group’s very right to exist and participate in civil society is not just “having conversations.”

it’s really interesting the right wants people removed from their jobs for saying insensitive things about Kirk’s death but didn’t want that for George Floyd’s death actually it’s not interesting, it’s just racist

This is what happens when you stoke division and fan the flames of extremism.

They're actively targeting creators who call in & banning them, making it even more important to call if you're a customer & not a creator Tell them they shouldn't be dictating how you get to spend the money you put your blood, sweat, and tears into earning

remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature

When Cracker Barrel is one of the “core tenets” of your heritage, does it finally put into perspective just how WILDLY RECENT America is to this land? How empty its “history” is?

Trans people were this site’s early adopters and continue to be a huge part of it. J.K. Rowling won’t ever show up here because there aren’t enough nazis to applaud her. Coddling the miserable little cretin’s fee-fees on this platform is a pathetic thing to do.

Your annual reminder that any list of the most bad ass people in sci-fi that doesn't include Camina Drummer is null and void.

here's my update on "nsfw" content for you fuckers.

I grew up in a church where I was "NSFW." You assholes.

If it's about adult content -- which shouldn't be a problem anyway -- then why are you delisting non-adult content that simply contains queer protagonists? Smells like bigotry. Thanks for showing us all who you are.

As a reminder for who itch is supposed to be from their own post

so @itch.io is also evil now... "because of a game not on our platform we caved to theocratic nazis you and ban anything anyone could consider NSFW". guess imma have to take down my page there later then. "open marketplace, enables anyone, never necessary to get content approved" my queer ass.

gitlab.com/worstconcept... nonchip just wrote a great safe resource loader for loading external resources (see: save files, character creation) that I will be using in my project. Warning: uses ord() which is added in 4.5 dev 3 so this will be a 4.5 plugin #godot #godotengine #solodev #gamedev

To be clear, dismissing misgendering us female reporters for WIRED by doubling-down on misgendering a woman whose gender was weaponized against her to diminish and deny her accomplishments is not good. * I am normally a fan of Tim Onion, this bums me out

And when these photos appear in textbooks in a couple of decades, they'll tell their grandkids that Everyone Was Doing It and How Were They To Know It Was Wrong.

People need to realize that the New York Times is going to pivot to "self-ID" now, essentially to build up the next fight, a total end of all legal recognition for transgender people. A handful of states have already started passing these laws, and it is absolutely what they are going for next.

SpaceX’s Starship spacecraft exploded on its test stand on Wednesday, sending a large fireball into the sky. The company had cleared personnel from around the site. wapo.st/4kUmz6G

the John Wick universe is what you get if someone explained everything about Vampire: the Masquerade except that the characters are vampires

1. After the Skrmetti decision, the New York Times has published 6 articles dancing on the graves of trans youth and spreading disinformation on care. It was cited 7 times in the ruling. Read my latest on what will be a black stain on the NYT for a generation. Subscribe to support my journalism.

1. The US Transgender Survey has finally been released, and the results are stunning. - <1% of people are less satisfied after HRT. - The most common reason for detransition, pausing transition, or stopping transition is transphobia. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

PSA want to get rid of the #google #gemini search #AI overview? (including not even triggering the planetburn, not just hiding it) adblock this address: www.google.com/async/folsrch?* here's a "adblock source file" for that: gitlab.com/-/snippets/4...

Want to take national attention off the rich man who just called you out after your public fallout? Invade LA, ruin lives and trample rights under the guise of patriotism. He presses the hatred button every time he shows his ass. And the country dies a little more every time.

This guy poisoned, shot, or killed as many as 70 dolphins. And he's getting 30 days in jail. What the fuck.

I get that every outlet is struggling and clicks equals ad revenue which helps but goddamn we really, really need to stop doing these kinds of articles. Please.

I mean… Yeah. Yeah they do. For entirely known and warned-about reasons. Yes. www.science.org/content/arti...

Republicans in Congress are reportedly asking Musk’s permission to hold votes

Do you know how hard it is to anger Canadians?!?

Hello- I'm sharing my firsthand experience of the Altadena fire when I went back to save my housemate's cats - only shared privately before. In a traumatized, numb state the days immediately after the fire, I wrote down a rough but detailed account of going back- My Altadena experience rb.gy/wbphsh

NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

After yesterday's events in the White House, Haltbakk Bunkers, one of Norway's largest marine fuel companies, appears to have announced that it will no longer refuel American Navy vessels. Haltbakk has called on other European companies to refuse service to American forces.

A little necromancy always raises my spirits. 👻

"private citizens empowered to make arrests"

Worst. Episode. EVER.

Upon this response, JK burst into a million shards and a great wind scattered her unhappy soul beneath the arc of a newly formed rainbow.

The proliferation of AI (yes, that means ChatGPT too babe) has everything to do with anti-intellectualism and is being aggressively promoted by techno-fascists trying to curb political descent. In this essay, I will—

hey! im on the lookout for design work again— do you have an actual play stream or podcast that needs some new visuals? are you starting a project and in need of a style guide or logo? youtube thumbnails, album art, overlays, promo graphics, channel design? im your guy, I’d love to work with you!

It is shameful that RAINN, representing sexually abused people, erased trans people because they are scared of Trump. To any org censoring themselves: you cannot jettison trans to save yourself. Yes, if you don't, other groups may suffer, and you might too. But we are all in this together.

I shared @monsterteatime.bsky.social's thread on this, but I actually have some thoughts of my own. First of all, this has the same vibe as "if we stop testing people for COVID, then the COVID numbers go down" in 2020. The reason numbers have gone up for ADHD and autism is we know and test more.

Build the wall! Around DOGE!

Can’t unsee.

Elon Musk was mocked after raging against "unelected bureaucrats" in an Oval Office rant oblivious to the fact that he was describing himself.

I’ve worked in IT infrastructure and operations for over a decade and it is impossible to overstate how bad this is. Old systems like this are extremely fragile and even experienced people can make major mistakes very quickly.

Giving access to SSN’s & other personal data of government employees to non-employees is a violation of USC 552a & carries a penalty of $1000 per person whose data was accessed. Why aren’t the federal employees reaching out to their union to sue Musk for all that he is worth? Musk broke the law.

This is the way they do it in Budapest and Moscow.

I mean, literally, the answer to this is "I am federally prohibited from telling you anything about my students without a subpoena or judicial warrant; if you have a subpoena or judicial warrant, please submit it to [Legal Officer/Office] to ensure it is in compliance with all relevant federal laws"
