OKAY I LOCKED IN so here it is!! Queer Artists to Commission 🫶🏻🩷 there's still plenty of space, so lmk if you'd like to be added! 🩷 go.bsky.app/PuiBo1z

The running theme between the Epstein story, banning trans healthcare for minors, religious homeschooling and the complaints about adult children estranging themselves is a fundamental American belief that children are property with no rights of their own

Apparently Paypal is now asking those who commissioned artists through invoices for feedback on the experience, Please never type anything, Its a trap. Just putting both yours and their accounts at risk of bans.

We need to stop voting for the far-right numpties like the PVV/VVD/BBB/FVD/JA21 if we want to remain a wealthy and generally great country.

Drop Fortnite and hold your fav streamers accountable for still playing and posting about it. I'm so serious I'm blocking anyone I see still stream and talk positively about it.

Van de Britse vakbond voor artsen. Zal waarschijnlijk minder media-aandacht krijgen dan het zoveelste prutsboek van de transfoob van de week, terwijl dit veel relevanter is.

Is there anything that's come out from the trans academy about responding to the rapidly shifting landscape for trans people in American higher ed? I'm looking and struggling to find sources.

those who predicted authoritarianism were both dismissed, & deeply misunderstood, by the media my latest for @newrepublic.com newrepublic.com/article/2042...

I keep saying this but no one is connecting the dots. The war is to satisfy legal preconditions for mass removal *domestically* of Latinos (i.e., suddenly a lot of people are going to be “Venezuelan” for purposes of removal). This is 100% Stephen Miller…oil claim is to make grandpa go along

I don't want gen AI in my browser I don't want gen AI in my pc I don't want gen AI in my art I don't want gen AI in my games I don't want gen AI in my music I don't want gen AI in my movies I don't want gen AI in my books I don't want gen AI in my cart I don't want gen AI in my life

Hi this is the OFFICIAL STANCE OF THE HHS words cannot describe how rough 2026 is going to be for trans folks and how much we are going to need your support

Latest commentary from me about how the design of social media platforms incentivise and fail to moderate the spread of false and misleading information about the #Bondi massacre. As usual, X is the ringleader. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12...

Once again a reminder: We can have trans rights, bodily autonomy, gender nonconformity, and freedom of expression, or we can have none of these things. There’s no third option.

Trans kids, trans adults, trans all of you folks I’m so glad you live. I’m so glad you’re here and I hope you know there are so many rooting for you, fighting for you and hoping you get to live the best life you can

Reminding everyone for no particular reason that Section 230 is one of the last things standing between free speech online and Trump having control over everything you see and say on the internet

NEW: A hacker gained control of 1,100 mobile phones powering covert, AI-generated ads on TikTok. Then, he shared details of the operation with 404 Media. A look inside how startup Doublespeed, which is backed by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), is creating AI spam pages on TikTok to promote products.

Social media companies attempt to detect and remove this type of astroturfing for violating their inauthentic behavior policies, which is why Doublespeed uses a bank of phones to emulate the behavior of real users. @evystadium.bsky.social explains more here: www.404media.co/hack-reveals...

“Joe Campbell, a Pentecostal preacher who for half a century ministered to thousands of children across four states, has been arrested on child sex abuse charges, the Oklahoma Attorney General’s Office said Wednesday.“ Still not a drag queen.

NYT: “In a newly obtained recording of a phone call from late 2020, President Trump can be heard pressing the speaker of the Georgia House of Representatives to hold a special legislative session to overturn Mr. Trump’s election loss.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/12/17/u...

Makes you wonder why he never saw justice before the 2024 election.

incredible that the oldest scam in the book — “look away from the greed and poor leadership that destroy your chance to make a career, it is the [blanks] that stole your job!” — still works

are we done pretending that people who live in the nazi website will leave at some point and become normal? because i am if they're still there at this point, nothing will make them quit let it go

18 Dec 2025 @rikiwilchins.bsky.social -- Big breakthrough for sexually-active/high-risk trans ppl: study of longest-acting injectable PrEP (lenacapavir) finds NO interaction with GAMT. Trans adults have long avoided PrEP for fear it impacts their hormone therapy with just 20% using it.

“There will be more games. [...] There will be also lot of trash. But who cares? There is lots of average trash in books or music for years." brother i think we need to remove CEOs and only let the devs AND artists who built the game speak.

The U.S. is giving dying mall vibes. I can't explain it, but you know I'm right.

A plea from Gaza: Our tent was torn and destroyed by the rain and wind. We are now homeless & without tent😭 We appeal to you to donate so we can buy a tent that costs only $50. If just five people donate $10 each, we will be able to buy the tent Help⬇️ urls.fr/DzYN15 Verified @taliajane.bsky.social

an entire generation losing their minds that their children and grandchildren would DARE to do anything they don't understand and turning the full might of the world's imperial powers against the people they profess to love most

Good news is always worth celebrating www.bbc.com/future/artic...

Every trans person and ally must boycott voting not only for these three Democrats, but any other House Democrats from the states (Texas, North Carolina) who don't condemn and disavow Cuellar, Gonzalez, and Davis for this sickening betrayal. There is no space in the tent for genocidal policies.

I'm so fucking angry at our healthcare system. My partner is in withdrawal because she ran out of her meds. She's out because her psychiatrist just stopped responding to her and her pharmacy. She has little choice but to use them because of her insurance. SHE HAS INSURANCE and is going through this.

We can do even more.

just a collection of "inevitable" multi-billion dollar tech that was going to be the future of everything until everyone in the audience who was supposed to just get on board said "lol no"

These dipshits don’t realize that its not JUST the use of AI that’s the problem: its the erosion of trust. They can say “oh its just for placeholders.” Or “oh its just for pre production” too bad, we cant trust you. Once its used, Its pandora’s box. You can’t un-fuck this

Actual psychologist here, and there are 2 things I would like to point out: 1. This sort of "we tried our best / we weren't so bad" is very much a classic move of the awful authoritarian and/or narcissistic parent, they've always done this and social media has allowed them more reach 🧵

"we USE ai, but our game wont CONTAIN it" is a clarification that no one has ever cared about & now CEOs are using it as a wedge to get their foot in the door as a part of a long term plan into normalizing AI, just like how 'it's just placeholder' was used with E33. dont cede even an inch of ground

i understand that these corporations are beloved by many, but as soon as you start defending their use of AI, even if it's "a little bit", i need you to understand that you are being used as a corporate tool to normalize AI. reject it with all your might. corporations arent your friend.

Boosting Ellipsus, which has a variety of themes, allows collaboration, even has an outline option which lets you click headers, and best of all? The dev team hates generative AI. Now you can write while flipping off both copilot AND gemini.

"we only used a little bit of genAI to make this" reads to me like a chef telling me they only used "a little bit of the juice at the bottom of the dumpster" while cooking my meal.

hey, I am not gonna doompost about it necessarily but, a glance around will tell you it's a hard & stressful time for artists, and especially so this year consider dropping a kofi donation, or reposting a shop link, or even just, leave a comment so someone knows you like their work it does matter

a very revealing story about how the execs at these AI companies think about their products, and their users www.404media.co/anthropic-ex...

is there a way to avoid the scourge of ai being forced on us? like is there a single consumer facing good that will actually stand up for its users, i’m just so sick of this

#ai #mozilla #firefox #fuckAI #genAI #fuckGenAI

Mankind, what a mensch.

border patrol agents, including greg bovino, are slamming chicago’s southwest side/near suburbs already today. at least one person abducted from tbe walmart parking at cicero/33rd in cicero—a frequent target for agents (photos below). also confirmed in back of the yards and brighton park.

It also does some really cool things in specifically, preventing elephant poaching in Kenya and preservation of the Great Barrier Reef. This scam section of the field is a criminal disservice to the planet as a whole

Your relationship (or lack thereof) with your adult children is your performance review as a parent

Another racist lie brought to you by the fascist nazi, JD Vance.

NEW: A Discord community for gay gamers is in disarray after one of its moderators and an executive at Anthropic forced the company’s AI chatbot, Claude, on the Discord, despite protests from members.

Within a few hours of me posting about how ICE arrests people for filming them, ICE posts an absurd assault accusation against a woman who it arrested for filming them.
