just as a reminder, the people who own the lollipop chainsaw IP are not working with suda51 or james gunn on any of this and actively repudiate the empathy that suffuses their art and you should not both with this even outside of the LRG stank

Together, we raised over $600,000 for @translifeline.org this year. From the bottom of my heart, I'm so grateful. We have come together to say to our trans friends and family that they are loved and that they are not alone. Trans rights are human rights. When we gather together, we can make Magic.

I really hope people advocating to ban kids from SM read this. Some kids are isolated by disabilities or circumstances. Furthermore, some kids grow up in abusive households. “Ideally, a child’s exposure to online worlds should be moderated by their parents” isn’t a reassuring sentiment for everyone

One of the wickedest things Wes Streeting has ever done is push politically convenient falsehoods about suicide rates amongst young trans people. We have new data from the National Child Mortality Database that exposes the truth he tried to cover up.

“I would rather you vote for what is morally correct,” Davidson said. “Don’t talk to me about my own morality,” DeLauro shot back. “Don’t tell your constituents what they can and can’t talk to you about,” replied Rev. Nathan Empsall. “What you are voting for is not moral.”

NBC editing out the booing of JD Vance is a disgrace. It’s an international event. Americans have the right to know what the world is saying. NBC has bowed down to Trump.

lmao NBC is doing takedown requests for videos of JD Vance Getting boo'd at the Olympics

Metry and her husband of 4 years go to DHS to get their I-130 in motion. "Good news" a DHS employee told them, the form to start her naturalization was approved. DHS employee asks the husband to follow him through a secure door. When it locks behind him, ICE detains his wife to deport her.

JD Vance loudly booed at the Winter Olympics today.

In case you thought I was kidding. Ryan Clark posted this and immediately they ask "Grok". So Grok is the arbiter of truth. The CSAM maker is the arbiter of truth. Epstein lives, baby.

We just raised $500,000 for @translifeline.org. If we can raise just $60k more before 10am tomorrow, we will have broken last year's record. Thank you to everyone showing our love and support for the trans community. When we gather together, we make MAGIC. Donate--> give.translifeline.org/tcc

They abducted this person from Mayo Clinic and not even an elected rep has been able to get them the anti-rejection meds they need to not die AFTER AN ORGAN TRANSPLANT.

I'm currently working on writing my next album, but in the meantime, here's my latest indie rock album for the first Bandcamp Friday of the year! ianmartyn.bandcamp.com/album/my-dre... #bandcampfriday #bandcamp #indierock #janglepop #beachpop

Me trying to be funny on the internet as my entire being collapses from the weight of existing

"But I can't afford to hire a human artist for my business!" Then you can't afford a business.

there is no ethical use of ai

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Good job, everyone.

"Sure, ICE is bad, but we need to deport illegal immigrants" No you don't. If immigration enforcement leads to concentration camps and roving death squads, maybe it's time to just get rid of the concept of illegal immigration entirely. You've tried it, it's a bad idea in practice, so bin it.

welp, this destroyed me first thing upon waking up

Racism has been central to Trump and his movement since he came down the escalator. He is a racist. His people are racists. His defenders are racists. His supporters are racists. His party is a party of racists. If they want to disprove that, they can. But it's important to know they don't want to.

kamala harris's 6-7 themed zoomer digital marketing group has already changed its name after getting made fun of. for some reason they changed it to "68." we're witnessing a level of political instinct never before imaginable

anyway sorry the guy you have supported and made excuses for for years is a sadistic gutter racist whose every action would horrify your average saturday morning cartoon villain we did tell you, repeatedly

Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

can't help but think there is probably a corrosive effect of having sex trafficker-elite emails unveiled for months on end as one of the biggest cultural/news stories of the last year— unearthing an inexcusable moral rot in the upper echelons of power—but without any real accountability/justice

So, first of all, of course it was Trump. But even if they were telling the truth, "We give staffers who post videos of the Obamas as apes access to the agenda-setting, decree-sending, market-moving account of the president of the United States" is not the exculpatory statement they think it is.

AI is a tool of fascism. Full stop. It was created for the specific purpose of stealing the work of others, demoralizing artists, and eliminating middle class jobs to push creators out of art and into the lowest paying work. When you endorse AI slop, that’s what you’re endorsing.

Something incredible is happening in the Magic: The Gathering community. The prolific MTG Youtube channel Tolarian Community College has raised $450,000 and growing for Trans Lifeline. Read our writer S. Baum's story here and go pitch in! www.erininthemorning.com/p/magic-the-...

Donald Trump is a racist.

To recap the White House's official position, the racist video was posted erroneously by a staffer and they took it down, but even if it was posted on purpose, the outrage would have been fake because the post was fine and inspired by the Lion King

😱

Somewhere along the line I think @papapishu.bsky.social became my favorite blogger

Every American needs to watch this:

So like a third of a pound per person?

SCORPION: take me across the river FROG: if I do that, you'll sting me S: if I sting you, we'll both drown F: ok, that makes sense *halfway across the river* F: so? S: so what? F: sting me S: what? F: sting me, like you promised S: no F: sting me so we'll both drown S: *crying* what is happening?

Playing that Animorphs game with the absolutely insane soundtrack

the thing is that "age of consent guy" was a very specific, well known, risible, and widely scorned type of guy well before metoo. knowledge of age of consent laws has been a creepy tell for as long as i've been alive. that this wasn't considered weird in elite circles doesn't change broader reality

This is Iraq War style propaganda: They make the face of a well-researched, (near) academic consensus, that isn't egregiously controversial among experts on the subject... and make the face of it a famous but uncredentialed young woman so they can pretend it's vacuous and naive.

Relax, bread department

One of the reasons I so greatly dislike the “can men and women be friends?” nonsense (yes, full stop, shut up) is that it casts suspicion on people with opposite-sex friends instead of where it more often belongs: on people with no opposite-sex friends.

so much clothing is marketed as "conversation starters" but as an introvert, i want "conversation enders." no more talking. let me go home.

I may delete this because it’s a bit spicy but it shouldn’t be lost on us that games being turned into TV is essentially harvesting the stories written by those who don’t have union representation or healthcare with WGA by those that do. Our stories are good enough for TV but the writers aren’t?
