A funny thing about RFK announcing he is pinning autism on Tylenol, is that this immediately pissed off a whole lot of anti-vaxxers who had their own pet theories for abusing kids. Many of whom are probably sending him death threats right now. Do you think between now and then he'll hedge on it?

Just a reminder before the “big announcement” today. Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943. Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s. Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.

In addition to this, I bet it won't be long until people just invent quotes to serve their purpose, because why stop at one lie?

My PC simply does not want to upgrade to Windows 11 (nor do I, honestly) but turns out my copy of Windows 10 is eligible for the Extended Security Updates programme that gives that one last gasp of a year to work out my options (probably a Win11 lappy at some point).

I’m glad I made this man feel bad 15 years ago

FOR KIDS??? The video where I SWEAR and get VIOLENTLY THIRSTY for a buff woman is FOR KIDS????

The reason adult content makers can't self-govern is because we are constantly forced into a binary choice: You're either Fine or Banned

Robert Redford playing a gentle incarnation of death, coming for a frightened old woman in The Twilight Zone episode "Nothing in the Dark" (1962). An extraordinary performance then, terribly bittersweet today

we have gone from a world in which we were told not to cite wikipedia because it was unreliable to a world where wikipedia might be the only reliable source left on the internet and we all owe a lot to the pedantic nerds who got us there

I am not a noncon,dubcon artist.That said this is all kinds of Bullshit,in what world would I want to live in were I have even less options for stories.I don't care for explicit noncon or well painted well crafted depictions. I want my artist to have made their vision uncompromised. #bskycensorship

This is what solidarity looks like!

One reason why I came to bsky from Instagram was that I was tired of only posting sfw drawings and if I didn't, I'd get shadowbanned or worse... Here we have a nice thing called "labels", so every time I click on "show" I consent to viewing nsfw. Why additional censorship? #BskyCensorship

wrong answers! get yer guaranteed wrong answers here! correct just often enough you'll get lulled into depending on em! unsustainably propping up a broad range of severe and irreparable economic issues caused by open looting of the rich and politically connected! replace experts with wrong answers!

ART THEFT LABELER @arttheft.bsky.social This has the potential to make bsky so much nicer for artists and help eliminate customers from being scammed by fake artists Let me show you how it works ⬇️⬇️⬇️

No particular reason

meanwhile costco was all “DEI is good and we’re keeping it, fuck you” and they’re now basically printing money

Ok it is a little bit surprising how many Catholic-core Metroidvanias there are lol Like not just about “cool cathedral aesthetics” but specifically games in this genre themed around faith, idolatry, penance, hierarchic abuse, etc.

not gonna doom about Bluesky too much because it still handily beats the alternative, but the inevitable enshittification of every service I have ever used and ever will use *does* make me just a tiny bit irritable

When you baselessly call LGBTQ people terrorists who murdered Charlie kirk, this is the result. people.com/charlie-kirk...

If your complaint is you hate Windows 11 and you're not going to use it: A combination of OpenShell and Windows Debloat will resolve most of your issues (interface, Copilot, etc.) OpenShell is here:

I'm not loving how every failed presidential candidate gets paid the entire budget of the publishing industry that year to write a book called I Learned Nothing

People learned nothing from Tumblr

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

This is the cost of casual legitimization of genai. The blood of this kind of suffering is on the hands of everyone who uses it for all the kind of stuff Giger has pointed out. Because you've been told for at least two years now what the cost of it is and to stop doing it.

SUSHI BEN IS OUT NOW! 🎉🎉🎉 I've been working on this since 2016 yay! My team has been working on this since 2021 yay! Plz try it out, its cheaper than toro nigiri tysm im so sleepy going to bed now.

Freelance illustration gigs drying up. Ad agencies using Midjourney instead of hiring human artists. Costume design turned over to AI wholesale. Good work vanishing. These are the stories of working visual artists, who describe losing jobs, wages, and hope as their clients and bosses embrace AI.

A producer told me once she has to warn young crewmembers to avoid being alone with Aykroyd. "Not because he's a creep, he's a gentleman. But if you let him strike up a conversation the next thing we know all the PAs will be huddled in his dressing room learning how humans evolved from dolphins."

thinking about this screenshot from Columbo that makes it look like a 90s point-and-click adventure game

maybe going to bed at 6PM will finally make me a normal human being capable of doing adult things like go talk to a lawyer about drawing up a proper will instead of the buzzing hum of exposed electric wires that is my brain when I even begin to try thinking about any of that

Essential (1/3)

no. what are you doing? stop that!

We don’t want AI slop. Stop sending us AI slop. Stop wasting our time with AI slop. It doesn’t sound good. It’s antithetical to our core values. You didn’t even make it. Knock it off.

Transness is not about mental illness, hormones, or surgery--though it is the most obvious expression of trans identity. Trans identity is the gift of autonomy over your gender. While transness is most easily identifiable through gender dysphoria, its heart is self-exploration and empowerment.

Any talent agency that prides itself on uplifting diverse voices that not only deadnames a former client and disparages their transition, but also links to what is essentially a hive of anti-queer sentiment, is exposing an appalling level of hypocrisy in their moral center.

It would be certainly a shame if the public knew that they still haven’t paid out their composers. It would also be a shame if they never put me under NDA.

"They're politicians, what are they supposed to do? Literally fight in the streets?" Unashamed to say this made me cry.

Settling down to watch Sneakers tonight to mark Robert Redford’s death. And after this will maybe look out a copy of hacker crackdown again. It’s a very gentle film. A warm introduction to an aging hacker/yippie culture in the late 80s. As @comicsinthega.bsky.social, the cast is epic.

"Can they truly be so ignorant to the words of a man they have so rushed to memorialize? I don’t know. But the most telling detail in Klein’s column was that, for all his praise, there was not a single word in the piece from Kirk himself." Ta-Nehisi Coates, with receipts.

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide. As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire. End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

1/ South Korea's government has announced that it is launching an investigation into human rights abuses said to have been carried out by the United States' ICE agency against South Korean workers deported from Georgia, following further damaging testimony from the deportees. ⬇️
