hey, this is a fairly nerdy news item, but you should absolutely know about it. (looks like there are links in other posts in the thread.) the Post Office is really contemplating not delivering ballots unless states expose their voters' data to DOJ. I hate saying read that again but, read it again

Legal defense fund for the Minnesota 15. Please share and support them! We keep us safe 💙🤍🩵

We’ve asked a lot from y’all these past months, but please kick in a few bucks if you can. This could’ve been any of us, really.

There is a thrill in this. There guys are PUSHING SO HARD. They’re relentlessly doing interviews, writing articles and pushing propaganda. They’re used to everyone buying their bullshit!! But this time everyone’s like “nah”. It must feel inexplicable for them and that is so satisfying.

this is a catastrophe and he will do harm, and only harm, to those living with disabilities

re: getting your paypal nuked (or stripe, your bank account, any visa/mastercard access, etc) Please report your experience to the FTC and the OCC. They're already under pressure for debankment and we want to stress how important this is (and once again, the OCC mentioned adult entertainment)

Literally every NSFW artist or indie gamedev must know about this

now we're fucking talking. They won't ever get that money but the point is to destroy the perpetrators and make it too risky to ever try to do similar again we should all be doing similar

WITH UNREAL ENGINE 6, YOU CAN LAY OFF EMPLOYEES 45% MORE EFFICIENTLY

Tbh they should feel scared to wear them, cuz if I you look at me with those lil creep glasses on, I'm gonna smack 'em right off your smug ugly face.

bookmarking this for use anytime someone asks how we can afford social safety nets.

I can not emphasize enough how much, for the average cisgender person, violent transphobia is not just a form of confrontation with something they disagree with, it is a form of play with a type of animal that can not defend itself.

Ah so LLMs operate like senior male academics. Who could have envisioned that technology trained on existing texts could operate in a fundamentally conservative nature

I like when CEOs find out that they random shit they spout when they are high on camera actually has legal meaning because they are in fact CEOs

yeah the ban so overtly feels like a concerted effort to relinquish more power and infrastructure to silicon valley. we are all just getting funneled into peter thiel's gaping maw

Data centers are very similar in how prisons were pitched to ritual areas Telling them it would bring jobs and boost their economy when people were just brought in from outside and resulted in largely negative impacts for local residents. Both claiming to be a fix for towns that need help.

I'm still a little catatonic from Musk deciding to go pogroming right when it could theoretically have blown up the biggest payday of his life. But he made the bet that Wall Street couldn't give a shit. And he was right.

I will live to see a world where ICE agents replace Nazis as interchangeable bad guys in movies and videos games, and where violent enforcement of immigration laws against peaceful working people is completely delegitimized as a profession the world over.

using AI at any stage of game development is loser shit but the excuse of "oh we only used it during the concept art stage" is always insane to me. concept art is literally the fun part. you asked the robot to do the fun part for you. do you also need the robot to eat dessert for you

Dietrich Bonhoeffer was an anti-fascist German Lutheran pastor who opposed Hitler and the Nazi Party so effectively that they murdered him in 1945. He is only a bad guy if you literally spend all your time on far-right, neo-Nazi websites and have pickled your brain in fascist group chats.

I don't really believe the notion that chuds have lost all sense of what a hot woman looks like; I think this is much like everything else in fascism, they're just going along with a narrative to the point of denying their own eyes.

We're hearing reports that police have tear gassed a group of protesters outside the Senatobia Walmart where an officer shot and killed 1-year-old Kohen Wiley.

“The President owns and operates a bank” is satire-level corruption

this is an old clip so you dont have to post about how some autistic people are able to do those things in the way that makes it extremely clear you still view the ones who can't as subhuman, you can just find your post from last time and retweet it

the citizen suit provision in the clean air act was included for this specific and exact reason. insane memo, completely incomprehensible levels of corruption

considering feds & our own local/state cops continue to get more fast and loose with the pepper spray & CS gas, highly encourage folks to start carrying decent lab grade safety goggles & n100 of some sort these fucks are especially squirrely at impromptu action in response to their fuckshit

in line with the previous posts, pretty much the only meaningful risk factor with estrogen as it relates to HRT is nicotine usage and smoking cigarettes, so it is deeply upsetting to see how much both have made a come back in recent years. girls can you please use literally any other substances 😭

it's pretty on the nose for modern american life that a company that doesn't really do anything at all is on track to be the biggest company in america

NEW: A trove of internal records from Dialog, the secret society cofounded by Peter Thiel, was left exposed online. WIRED obtained a second cache of records that reveal who's really attending, how they're screened, and what personal details they were promised would stay private.

"The officer has not been identified." IDENTIFY THE LITTLE BITCH-ASS PIGGY NOW.

FUCK THESE FUCKING PIGS!!!!!!

It is now illegal to post this image with the caption “become ungovernable.”

the world is so beautiful

I'm sorry but this is cowardice and a violation of the Hippocratic oath, plain and simple. It is not and has never been illegal to provide trans kids with healthcare. They simply don't want to do it and would rather make kids suffer than follow their basic duties as medical professionals.

moreover, any artist that succumbs to generative AI as a "helper" in the process is an artist no more. you are to the medium what mold is to a dwelling. an illness, a poisonous growth that threatens the very foundation while damaging any living being around it.

if you thought the Fortnite/Overwatch pretty-girl face shit was a problem now, lordy is the AAA slop industry gonna knock your socks off when it filters sketches through the machine purposely built to spit that garbage out

for iphone users, if you very suddenly regret NOT turning off biometric unlock, press the lock button on the side 5 times in row - this will lock your phone and require the passcode before biometric unlock can be used again, preventing police from using your face to unlock it against your will.

I should not have to see Shrek and Fiona's grown sons. This should be knowledge kept hidden from the world.

Microsoft, Tencent, and their contemporaries cannot be forgiven for the way they vandalized and ransacked the game industry. Too many good studios have been stolen from the world by the companies that consumed them. Hell, *one* was too many. They burgled the house and then set fire to it.

" Am I so beautiful that you've no words left ? "

Wow I guess Erasing Trans People From Existence actually ISN’T most people’s top issue and the Democrats can stop being pandering freaks about it.

A lot of the “kids online safety” proponents actually are anti-LGBTQ extremists and fundamentalists who want kids to have less freedom and don’t care if that actually makes them tremendously less safe too

We desperately need a large, mean-spirited curator page/group that tracks this shit and puts a fat red mark onto them so that its easier to avoid them at a glance

they don't want kids to be able to find information on how to get help if you are a child being sexually abused because they want to preserve their access to victims

Alongside many other transphobic billionaires and politicians, at least three people covered in my article about anti-trans Epstein associates are listed in what appears to be an attendee list of Peter Thiel private society conference attendees: Jonathan Haidt, Sam Harris, and Steven Pinker
