This anecdote from Miles Taylor about Stephen Miller allegedly suggesting drone strikes on boats of migrants during Trump 1.0 seems relevant given the recent US lethal strike on a vessel in the Caribbean. www.treason.io/p/read-one-s...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Supreme Court will consider expanding Trump’s power to shape independent agencies by overturning 90-year-old precedent.

Sounds like the segregationists in Connecticut are having a grand ole time “While waiting for the police to arrive, the old Karen’s friend said, ‘You’re not the minority anymore.'” www.blackenterprise.com/alex-okeefe-...

personally if i made a website that found success off the backs of sex workers and porn artists i would not continually add new rules that say “that’s icky you guys are ickyyyyyy”

The solution right now is not saying “move to Mastodon, to Pillowfort, use Picarto galleries” etc, bc that won't stop this silent escalation of censorship and sexual repression on the internet. The issue is not which platform we choose, but rather raising our voices against what is happening.

When I was placed on the Professor Watchlist in 2021, people sent death threats about my children. I had security officers monitor my 8yo at school. Where is all the outrage for those of us who have been targeted for years? Where is the outrage for our families? My own colleagues are silent.

Stop complying in advance.

Last day to bother me at SPX!! I'm almost out of my comics!

Going to SPX this year with @aquiboni! We’ll be at table W29A. I’ll have printed copies of last year’s shortbox comic Bug In My System, and some new risos and stickers! Hope y’all come by and bother us this weekend in Bethesda! #smallpressexpo #spx

It's here! The pre-order shop for Steel and Blood issue is now open! It will be open until October the 6th. It will allow you to purchase any items through bundles or by itself. Jewels are handcrafted and so in very low stock! Be sure to be quick if you want to snatch one.

Rejoice!! The pre order shop for steel and Blood will open one the 7th. What to expect from this sale? A full book of illustrations, comics and texts, but also beautiful pieces from our merch artists! Washi tapes, enamel pins, stickers and more!

“At this point it's become impossible for me to maintain a relationship with Reuters given its role in justifying and enabling the systematic assassination of 245 journalists in Gaza. I owe my colleagues in Palestine at least this much, and so much more.” - Valerie Zink

Again: These fascists have no idea what they are doing, but/and they will do whatever they can get away with. So keep pushing back, keep making them expend resources, and don't let them get away with shit.

YouTube is secretly using AI to edit people's videos • Skin is being smoothed or sharpened • Features like ears are being altered • YouTube confirmed there's an 'experiment' on Shorts to 'unblur' and 'improve' clarity • There's currently no way to opt out (via BBC)

I mean it, fellow Americans: call your reps about this. It seems small in the short run, but this is going to fuck up businesses, especially small ones, big time.

A key point in Fahrenheit 451 is that books were banned because they made people depressed and uncomfortable. The novel's protagonist, Montag, is taken into custody after he reads a poem that makes a woman cry because she realizes the emptiness of her life.

A lot of NSFW content has been removed from places like Steam and itchio recently, but you might not know this is actually the result of a campaign that has been going on for decades. Here's how anti-porn groups got the power to censor the internet. youtu.be/SmHHnPLllUk

A spokesperson for the Freedom Flotilla Coalition tells me: “Chris Smalls is still in Givon Prison and despite repeated requests to meet with the U.S. Embassy has been ignored by his country after being abducted by the IOF in international waters.”

⚠️BATCH DOWNLOAD YOUR GOOGLE DRIVE NOW⚠️ 👉 takeout.google.com/manage I did this last night, and literally this morning a friend who writes fic has had her whole account restricted, and when I try to access writing that I've edited/collaborated on, this is what I get:

wait, google is going through people's private files to do purity checks now? hahaha this is going too far yall

We need to teach people the difference between being uncomfortable and being unsafe. Because the discomfort of the safest people is endangering the most vulnerable, all day every day.

Yep, Visa is just straight up trying to disconnect people calling about the video game policy as fast as possible. Please don’t stop calling

If you can't even say the word rape without censoring it to accommodate your own revulsion you are not equipped enough to speak on fictional OR physical rape. Advocacy requires enough emotional detachment to speak from a place of reason and emotional control, even if it violates your sensibilities.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Trump EPA moves to repeal landmark scientific finding that underpins US action to fight climate change.

The scam is to conflate everything that computers do (or ever have done) with the current "AI" craze, so that the AI scam tech that nobody wants feels inevitable, rather than a tech bubble run by villains, that needs to crash immediately.

The reason that so many Americans are convinced they're stuck with this lesser evil duopoly system forever is the same reason they're the only western country without universal healthcare. An arrogant refusal to look at countries much much older than the US and (god forbid) learn something

and just the first four total over a trillion dollars :^) deeply evil

This. I cannot emphasize enough how influencer and hustle culture have completely changed the internet from "weird and wonderful things people make for the heck of it" to algorithm chasing joylessness.

“Wikipedia is this economic anomaly. In many ways, it’s sort of magical that people will just volunteer without explicit economic incentives to create artifacts that are meant to share knowledge with everyone in the world”

look see, god-drunk maniacs with too much money do stuff other than cut benefits, start and prolong wars, they also inflict bible on people who never even heard of it so that these unfortunate folk someday too may also be subjugated, looted and murdered over it www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A judge has ordered the Trump administration to halt indiscriminate immigration stops and arrests in Southern California.

A federal judge found that the Department of Homeland Security has been making arrests in Los Angeles immigration raids without probable cause, ordering the department to stop detaining individuals based solely on race, spoken language or occupation.
