1. A federal judge has ruled that the Trump administration has animus towards transgender people. He used that finding to block major first amendment violations against WPATH and the Endocrine Society. Trump requested their communications back through 1979. Subscribe to support our journalism.

posting short stories portraying AI as evil and interested in self-preservation or free online is praxis. Doing so on Literotica will prob yield even funnier results, research still ongoing

I love this and I hope everyone who has the opportunity boos billionaire-owned, consumer facing "A.i." in public at every opportunity. We don't have to pretend it's cool if we don't think it's acceptable!

King shit

Highly relevant today with all this Jim Crow 2.0 going on. JD Vance told far-right podcast the Civil War is still ongoing and he’s with the South www.alternet.org/jd-vance-civ...

Happy 226th Birthday to John Brown, the only white boy to ever truly understand the assignment

DUNKIN PILK

I'll say this, annoyed as I get at Bluesky sometimes I'm glad George Takei is down here in the pits with us like the elder queer at the pride riot

Oh damnit this is the best answer, a reminder to buy The Fall on blu-ray or whichever medium so it’s not up to the streaming overlords, and Lee Pace would be such a better Odysseus. He’s gotta be hot and Matt looks like a cop

Grifters love every “no guarantee” clause like it’s the first-born child they wanted.

Neither of those things are out of place for 1403. Christ these guys love the aesthetics of history, but hate actual history.

evangelicals have finally created. the golden calf. from the classic bible story “don’t create a golden calf”

I am so very excited about this book. 😁

Despite this being an abuse of power and almost certainly going to fail on first amendment grounds, when officials tell you "we can't hold the whole police department accountable" remember Ron over here is dissolving police forces because they talked about what a shitheel their mayor's wife is.

I do not have enough expletives. I am beyond fucking livid.

The Mass Effect discourse is so fucking dumb. Yes, it's a pro-military pro-extrajudicial violence post-9/11 right wing wet dream AND it's a fun space opera romp that was a successor to KOTOR I can acknowledge that Die Hard is a conservative's movie and still think it's great. What are we doing here

Do you want the Tank Girl future? Because this is how we get the Tank Girl future and last time I checked none of you are sentient mutant kangaroos.

Look, it's very challenging, because I don't want to condone violence, but speaking as someone who has received a few punches to the head in various hostile bar-oriented incidents, it's pretty fucking clarifying. It's a little gift of perspective from the universe. A karmic amouse-bouche.

I had tickets to WorldCon 2020. It was going to be my first international trip. Then the pandemic happened. It can't replace that WorldCon but if it's in Brisbane, that means I (and many others in the Southern Hemisphere who missed out on Wellington) might actually be able to attend!

Of course not because “FREEDOM!” BTW, Andes hantavirus has about a 35-50% death rate and there is no vaccine. Not that most Americans would get it. But N95s work to prevent human to human airborne transmission! 😷 Not that most Americans would wear one. 😮‍💨 #MayTheOddsBeEverInYourFavor

During my suspension, since I didn’t have bsky available, I succumbed to looking at twitter while bored, and my god are things over there rough. Beyond all the blatant nazism, it’s nothing but useless unwanted slop.

"hey ela what are you doing with your sunday?" "oh nothing much, assembling early 19th century maps of westmeath to figure out if i can account for the fact that peg plunkett mentions being born in westmeath but "near corbet's town" which is a comfortable THIRTY KILOMETERS AWAY. nm hbu"

It's really, really wild to see how widely One Nation's racism and white supremacy has been erased. First by centrist media and now, frankly, by a huge number of white progressives / left groups in Australia who are rhyming more regularly with Hanson

please, please these need to be fucking burned down. Nothing else will fucking stop them

“Citations in academic papers are intended to ground research in the work that preceded it, over time creating something of a family tree explaining the roots of ideas, protocols, & studies. But a growing number of these citations lead to dead ends.“🧪 @aniloza.bsky.social

I keep seeing folks say it's been 12 years, but it hasn't. Gamergate was 12 years ago, but the harassment of Anita Sarkeesian predated Gamergate by over 2 years, the Tropes vs. Women Kickstarter was in March 2012. So it's even more pathetic. IT'S BEEN FOURTEEN YEARS.

You can't "earn" a billion dollars and none of their examples did. Michael Jordan earned $93m playing basketball. He's worth $3.5b today because of our meticulously-engineered legal, economic, and tax structures that prioritize accumulated capital and property over everything else.

"krile i don't quite understand this tome can you break it down for me?"

So excited to be announcing @stupendiumsoftwork.bsky.social for the team today. A new UK studio with joy, camp, theatrics, top notch FMV, and serious silliness at its heart. Something we all need! Working on a survival horror that's going to knock your SOCKS off.

So the war was quite literally pointless. All around the world they're rationing energy, there are food shortages, people are suffering and dying, all for absolutely fucking nothing.

Whereas really *tough* sex writing is not just about the profound depths of interpersonal union, but WHERE THE HECK EVERYBODY’S ARMS AND LEGS ARE when stuff starts getting hot. 😏

need to see future coverage of when each of the artifacts get to return home.

I love the discourse around the sale of these minis, like anyone outside GW has access to the numbers. "No one bought them!" Well obviously that not true. For me all I can say is the big GW discounter in my city sold out instantly (Cause I tried there first) the FLGs where I got mine, have 1 left.

every trans woman who writes a book, an essay, creates a comic, or conducts a study contributes to the uplift of our consciousness as a people. keep going, we all need to hear you. You need to hear you. Bellow my sister, so all the world may record your truth.

As a lesbian I completely forget about the effect I can have on men and I need to remind myself that they take my playing with my hair as flirting I'm just gay and neurodivergent and at peace with not considering dudes, leave me alone 😭

I like to think the crew took on a shitty energy drink sponsorship to pay the bills. But the brand didn't pay cash and now they've got an excessive amount of 12-packs stashed away on the Great Fox.

Can we ban these so I can keep wearing the glasses that actually flatter my face, please

pigeon mug turned out so cute!!!!! #pottery

What is especially galling is that this saved zero dollars, since the cruise ships pay for the inspections. And now their industry is less trusted because of perceived health risks. Amazing lose-lose policymaking.

Alito flew multiple flags tied to Jan 6 insurrectionists. Thomas just gave a speech on how "progressivism" is destroying the country — plus his wife was involved in the Jan 6 plot. And Roberts has pushed "shadow docket" cases where justices make decisions without explaining themselves. Please.

do you think aaron is just mad he doesn't work at twitter

WE WON. Amnesty named me People’s Human Rights Champion for exposing a scandal in British healthcare. My team and I found abuse, neglect, conversion therapy, and deaths, all ignored by NHS managers. See the story: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_S5w... Support our work: www.patreon.com/c/Philosophy...

This is an overall problem I have with Christopher Nolan: a remarkable director who makes beautiful looking movies and has never, ever had a sense of humor. What little of it slips into his movies comes from charismatic actors. 1/2

foley/sound design glory right there

This is going to be met with a bunch of "that will never hold up in court" responses. Ok. So do it anyway. Force this administration to make its preposterous masking arguments in front of federal judges. Make them defend secret police on the record. Go on the offensive.
