Instagram’s former head of safety and well-being Vaishnavi Jayakumar testified the company had a “17x” strike policy for accounts that engaged in the trafficking of humans for sex. “You could incur 16 violations and upon the 17th violation, your account would be suspended" time.com/7336204/meta...

X has changed their policy and now you can see where the accounts are based. Here’s an “influencer from Texas”

Do these “authors”, if they even deserve that moniker, think they’re cooking anything tasty? People like Stock only offer piss poor, garbage-stank, ice cold takes, coming from Kapos in “I’m a moderate” wool, as always.

Why the Fuck are we saying literally ANYTHING positive about Sarah McBride on fucking Trans Day of Remembrance? She's literally been trying to sell us all out from day one from the fucking bathroom bullshit to blaming trans activists for transphobia Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

When I was young, I thought that when someone in a TV show or movie asked “Are you wearing a wire?” it meant “an underwire bra” Whenever they asked women characters I was shocked at how rude and intrusive a question it was, but it did make scenes where they asked men that much more interesting

I was on a pro vs anti ai panel the other day and this is what I was trying to say but I’m not as smart The point of playing a game of chess is not to achieve the quickest possible route to victory for one side in a chess game, it is to have and perform those thoughts and actions yourself and grow.

Is there a mute list or something that I can use to never have to hear about or see the NYT ever again?

Ayo fuck the coast guard.

Bumping, needless to say, ICE must be abolished (like all prisons….except whichever one they send Trump to …in a more hopeful future)

If you're wondering why a large chunk of ostensibly left-of-center pundits are waging war on environmental protections in the form of an "abundance agenda," it's because Silicon Valley has quietly developed a culture of rampant pollution.

First good thing to come from a CT rep in a minute 👏 now get the rest of your colleagues to vote better

An entire argument dismantled in two words.

Not much to say about Trans Day of Remembrance anymore besides “try loving and celebrating us while we are alive”

I have long said people don't be hatin Chief Justice John Roberts as much as they should be hatin Chief Justice John Roberts

Give a Golden Globe to Castle Super Beast, not these grifters

Maya in 1933: "I met the publisher responsible for Der Stürmer and its publication of Jewish crimes. They told me how they they didn't want Jewish crimes recorded as German crime so they set up the publication to ensure accuracy to the Volksgemeinschaft."

Cyclist turns down trans exclusionary honour for woman cyclists (and you can feel the BBC’s teeth grinding about it). "If they don't want to ride with all women, then it's not the kind of ride I want to be part of".

Donald Trump could have just kept his mouth shut about Jamal Khashoggi. But to smear a dead journalist, while sitting with the person accused of orchestrating his murder is just vile. Every time this administration hits rock bottom, a trap door seems to open. Cretin behavior.

In Times Square. “Of course he knew about the girls.” - Jeffrey Epstein

Here’s your Epstein Hoax

First thing I’ve seen the republicans not spite-kill in like….10 years? What a dark fucking time to be alive.

mr president sir theres a story coming about how you intervened to help a sex criminal. no sir, not that sex criminal you helped….no not that one either…sir, please stop guessing sex criminals that you helped. ill give you a hint sir, hes a trafficker. no sir, not that trafficker a different one

We need your help! But let me explain why:

Do none of these morons in Tech know what a “sunk cost fallacy” is?

🤮 🤮 🤮 disgusting

Tech companies and governments all around the world: At long last, we have created Sibyl System, from the hit sci-fi show Don't Create the Sibyl System.

On this episode of “Why we can’t have nice things/Why humans can’t handle space tech”….internet moron takes down entire game by being a vitriolic anus

💕 It was brilliant to see @theyasminbenoit.bsky.social at the TITC Gala, standing with over 60-thousand women who believe in inclusion and dignity for trans+ people. You can add your name and help us keep that momentum growing. ✍ Sign here: notinourname.org.uk 🔄 Please share with your networks

The AI bubble may be about to bust. Peter Thiel has sold all of his Nvidia stock. We all need to say this very clearly: NO BAILOUTS FOR THEFT-TECH! Expropriate their asses instead. They stole from all of us and fully plan to burn the planet. They owe us - not the other way around. 1/3

For over 150 years, trans people have used courts to change legal sex. While writing Before Gender, I found what may be the first case in the US: a formerly enslaved trans woman in Georgia in 1869. Her story shows that trans people found legal support long before the word transgender even existed.

I don't expect the bluesky mods to enforce their TOS against government accounts. But they are the ones who decided to make the social media site where all the autistic people hang out. "Say what the rules actually are, then apply them like you said you would" is a bare minimum for this crowd.

PSA

The right wing approach now is to put me in a box with an incredibly successful politician who just won a stunning victory. This is Pure Cope Exhibit A Join.greenparty.org.uk

I might start emphasizing more that a genuine resignation of conscience is hot. Taking a hit because you chose to be seen on the right side of things is hot.

The important thing is not whether the Trump performing sexual favors for Bill Clinton thing is true. The important thing is that we all pretend it’s true, and that someone asks Trump about it every day.

This photo goes hard as fuck. Fuck ICE

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

Abolish the prison system in its entirety, now, and today. It never was a good idea, it isn’t a good idea. It doesn’t solve the problem it just creates a giant sacrifice pit for things we no longer call human. 99.999% of people in prison near therapy or a support group, not a glamorized labor camp!

Look, all I’m gonna say on The Current Topic is that moderation needs to be consistent - if you’re gonna drop the hammer for quoting song lyrics and getting pissed about child rapists, yet you let slide accounts that say trans people shouldn’t exist, then yeah, there’s gonna be some questions.

That Patton Oswalt joke was funny and a funny way to get banned…. The mod team even proved the joke had merit by their intervention. Sisyphus would be proud!

Rhetorical question but why the fuck aren’t any major outlets running a story about this letter, “asap yesterday” to coin a phrase? Turn up the pressure on the fire hose, fuck the DOJ and the board at UVA.

I don’t like the AI voice on web videos. Please stop using it. I love everyone’s crappy real voice that they think sounds like crap. It doesn’t sound like crap, it’s great!

A lot of people are going to walk away from the Ghislaine Maxwell coverage with the impression that our prison system isn’t punitive enough but I’d say it highlights how most everyone else is treated with *deliberate* cruelty.
