i still remember arguing with a guy that just WOULD NOT shut up about how i was "wrong" that the vader ai thing was gonna normalize gen ai bullshit in media more id like for them to kiss my ass.

It’s important to remember that these people, though dangerous, are also stupider than dirt

And she was right

I'M STUCK IN A LOOP

I've been thinking about the backlash Marie Kondo got and I think part of it was not just that she was saying "buy less shit" she was explicitly say "only buy what actually makes you happy" and in a nation of conspicuous consumption it pissed people off.

I thought I could save my little one's life as quickly as possible, but I didn't realize how incredibly difficult it would be. My child's condition worsens every day, and I'm still far behind. I don't know why people haven't donated. Please share this link with your friends. gofund.me/7656b5ee6 🙏🏻

they’re gonna run a bunch of candidates who make vague noises about how badly we need ‘change’ that isn’t actually change and all the people who yearn above all else for a return to norms and decorum will be so relieved to vote for them

gonna add to this and say, anyone defending rodfellows as "peak autism" or saying it's not weird about the kids interacting with fetish elements in the film, are genuinely dangerous people to me. be weird amd fetishy all you want but don't involve kids in it also the creators ERP'd with minors.

Now that my son is here, I will need a lot of help in order to buy clothing, diapers and so on. Any and all help is always appreciated. 🩵 ko-fi.com/supanovaa cash.app/$TheoJuarez #MutualAid #HelpFolksLive2026 💕💸

one of the most insane aspects of all of this is that "a wide ranging government crackddown after a handful of newspaper cranks said insane things based on misunderstood cherrypicked papers" is considered illegitimate in every field of endeavor except this one

comicsgate fucked me up incredibly hard and I still havent really recovered from the damage it did to my mental and social health

Every AI commercial is like "Hey AI, what goes good on a sandwich?" and then the AI is like "Have you considered... cheese?" And then the narrator is like: THE FUTURE IS HERE.

Gender should literally just be a common thing that people *should* examine in order to have a fullness of life, even if nothing massively changes. It should be as common as developing a fashion style or a music taste. Deconstruction of societal imprint, no matter how “far” you go, is freedom.

advertising technology in the 1990s: look at this “website” you can “surf”. it has an image of a cat on it advertising technology in the 2020s: you must adopt this now or die. we are going to completely kill you if you don’t download this app immediately

making a fresh #MutualAid post! i’m black, gay, homeless and struggling i seriously need some help affording food, new clothes, gas, and, hopefully, hotels. boost if you see, donate if you can #MutualFunds #EmergencyFunds #HelpSky cash.app/$primap www.paypal.me/primapuella

The new social media ban in Massachusetts is so sweeping in its definition of "social media" that it would require age-verification for Wikipedia. You don't protect kids by cutting off resources. acrobat.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:...

Hi all, I've been struggling pretty badly lately and need help covering some costs right now, especially my back taxes. We also might need some work on our car, and I need to buy new glasses. Thank you all so much for shares and donations! It means so much to us. gofund.me/d8cd724ee

it's really awesome that we're just in a period where art can't take risks at all on any level and that all of it needs to be sanitized to shit to even be allowed to exist in the eyes of paypros and the people in power

Hello I am Saeed, and this is my message. My family is suffering greatly and living a harsh life. We are homeless. There is no healthy food, and we are starving. My mother is ill. We desperately need your donations. @mommunism.bsky.social Give us hope now! ⬇️🥺 chuffed.org/project/1635...

people will tell you it’s complicated but it’s really not

Bday is in just a few more days…I’d like to maybe treat myself if possible

So Erin Reed blocked me over this one but I’m going to take a few minutes to point out why this “reporting” is so bad and repost a few times to hopefully spread the word. TL;DR Erin either doesn’t understand anything about NYC law or politics or is outright lying about what’s happening here.

This is one of the worst things I have ever read and I study frontier genocide as a profession.

i do not want the performance of public apology from ppl/institutions who have been transphobic these past few years now seeing shifting winds. you don't have to say sorry. if you mean it donate to trans charities & vocally advocate against anti-trans bills, public restrictions on trans women, etc.

If there is a lesson to be learned by Bsky users repeatedly pointing to the broken parts of the site and going "Is this part AI?" it's that using AI anywhere makes people assume the entire thing is shoddily and lazily built, because you, the maker, don't even fully know all the parts that made it.

We have a chance of removing the Online Safety Act! Any UK residents, PLEASE take the time to fill out the whole form. If we want to remove ID verification on websites that actually don't need it, we need to take action NOW!

On top of reasons of role deconstruction and bodily autonomy, this is one reason why it's so important to many people in power to eradicate trans folk. If you're secure with yourself, feeling good BEING yourself, they can't tell you you're broken and then sell you a "fix"

not even a "but-" in this, huh. just fully admitting that she doesn't have any issue with what JKR is like at all.

Once again: corporate-approved horny. Baldur's Gate and The Witcher and Cyberpunk will not be banned on Twitch, while less lascivious indie games are banned from sale. Horny is an increasingly relevant Cultural Trend, and culture must be consolidated into the hands of capital.

BAFTA pulling a trailer for an autobiographical game about surviving sexual assault only hours before it was said to be a part of a showcase is an exceptionally bad look.

if you fuck someone's crucial press beat/announce, you don't support them. trying to claim otherwise with a straight face only denigrates yourself

Hey, when was the last time we reminded everyone to wash their cybertrucks with saltwater and lemon juice?

I've seen comments on other websites saying this is a good use of AI because typesetting is just grunt work. No it isn't! There is a lot of skill and craft to good typesetting and this is aiming to take jobs from people to automate what should be a human process! This sucks!

I’m guessing some retro game enthusiasts simply don’t know that SNK/Neo Geo is now owned by Saudi Arabia, largely because that was Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud’s favorite console growing up. You can literally read it in biographies of the dude. 1/

Hey @gamebanana.bsky.social / @gamebananafnf.bsky.social do you really think Allen Scott is the best fit for co-running the largest modding site on the internet when this is what he has to say about trans rights

“Non-black people want to take everything from us except the weight of our history.”

Love how we had this series of extremely contentious and contemptuous interactions with this website's higher ups where they pretty much told us to our face "Yeah we're using Al to code, you fucking peasant. Deal with it." immediately followed by a good month of very frequent outages on the website.

Exactly one year ago today:

This is the single funniest thing I have ever seen Bluesky staff do.

i am so fucking tired of being asked to accept blatantly immoral abuses of power and brutalizing of people, both at home and abroad, as simply 'unfortunate' because these abuses are already NORMALIZED, but using power just ONCE to punish the villains has to go through every form or it's Even Worse.

Good thing i screencapped it

*Crash economy* *Triple food and housing prices* *Refuse universal healthcare* *Slash entry level jobs to appease stockholders with fantasies of an AI takeover* *Start meaningless wars* *Drown 20-somethings in debt* "WHY WON'T YOU HAVE BABIIIIIES"

It's not a team you get to leave so easy as that, Dave.
