... I feel like protecting trans women is only about protecting some trans women. And that's a dynamic I've seen plenty around here, and it's not one I like a lot of cis people getting to throw in on honestly. It's bad enough when it's just us.

Isabelle exactly how she appears in game 🐕 📋

Ana Valens is awesome and if you think otherwise you need to reevaluate your relationship with sexuality.

Porn and erotica are important and societally valuable forms of speech, and the defense of them, in the face of state and church attempts at repression, is a necessary political act.

Came here to post that, but also how she happily responded and liked responses framing the mod maker as predatorial, harmful. As well as the whole tone of the thread that was "cis men are such pigs ain't they" The mod maker is not a cis man. The thread is not all her fault but it had horrid shit

Figures. In my experience this kind of behavior is almost invariably tied to TERFism, or even if it's not explicitly shown, an underlying TERF ideology. It's a particularly nasty slur because there's no defense against it and it can outright ruin lives and careers. Actual demon to use it as such.

everybody's gangsta against puritanism and the authoritarian desire to control acceptable sexual expression until they encounter one (1) furry and then it's "if you give Isabelle curves you're a misogynist incel who has a pathological need to sexualize women"

I, for one, do not think furries should accept being called pedophiles over a G-rated mod, and the discourse about that should last as long as it takes for Bluesky normies to admit that’s bullshit.

So I found out people are now harassing the maker of this mod and calling them a fucking pedophile and a zoophile for THIS. What the fuck is wrong with people these days? This is the tamest shit I’ve ever seen. Lola Bunny was racier than this in a G-rated film from the 90s.

literally all they need to do is tell the shareholders to take an L for one half of one quarter and install closed loop cooling systems. but don't forget who we're talking about here, it's a bunch of evil people who believe in bullshit like "effective altruism AI agents"

the water evaporates into the atmosphere and is blown away from the local ecosystem. it doesn't flood back in as fast as it moves away. there are more sustainable ways to cool datacentres, but faang et al are a bunch of stingy cheapasses and they won't install closed loop systems

[daintily clears throat] THE IDEA THAT DEMOCRATS BENEFIT ELECTORALLY BY BENDING RIGHTWARD ON KEY MORAL ISSUES LIKE TRANS RIGHTS AND IMMIGRATION HAS NOW BEEN THOROUGHLY DEBUNKED. [coughs; daintily clears throat]

the guardian should just rename itself to "the groyper factory"

damn that sucks. maybe don't enter a five year downward spiral because your daughter is trans next time

the only thing saving bari weiss is that her productions have become irrelevant to entire generations. no zoomer would dare watch something that labels itself as "60 minutes"

tesla's stubborn insistence that vision alone is sufficient for FSD under current technology is not a paradigm that is proving its merits. no other manufacturer asserts vision alone is sufficient for SAE L3+.

that would require fascists to be rational actors, which they almost never are

remember when they felt like they could only do this off shore at guantanamo because it might break the law?

Atleast nobody will have to question if my works are ai or not so enjoy these practical effect wings I made after 7 years of building different animatronic wings!

this is going to go down as the turning point in his mass appeal

taylor swift implicitly endorses her music being used in trump propaganda

disappointing to see taylor's continued silence while other artists continue to speak out about their work being appropriated for government propaganda

it's absolutely insane to me that good professors are being fired for demanding their students uphold empirical, higher standards than "it's in the bible". we've truly been thrown back to the dark ages. it's only a matter of time until MAHA does it to medicine and doctors with their woo and nonsense

It's literally this meme

pirate it with subs. i mean it. don't subject yourself to lower quality media when you don't have to. just pirate it.

"microgrids" is an interesting way of saying "ways around our crumbling central institutions." you really can't trust institutions like the utility to work properly anymore, not when bean counters consider the stock the product and not your electricity supply.

every neoliberal policy analyst wants to "trim the fat" of society until the lean times come. community level resilience, redundancies, etc are good actually

republicans are more into perverse racist self-indulgence than effective policy. i'm certain elon musk grinned ear to ear when he pointed a shotgun at the collective global south and pulled the trigger. it doesn't change the fact that to prevent pandemics at home, you must stop them abroad first.

Him #deltarune

i've never been afraid of shit like this because it seems so losery. like you can almost picture their moms being like "yeah, he goes to his little england club. oh, you know, they like to make their flags and stuff and walk around town." and of course, "no girls allowed", hung on the tree fort

the fact that nick fuentes isn’t here but ms rachel is illustrates perfectly that groups like this don’t actually care about antisemitism at all

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

No child should go hungry simply because their parents are immigrants. As mayor, I’ll join @newyorkstateag.bsky.social in using every lever of government for the families who fear if they can afford tomorrow’s meals.

maga can't stop this because it's rooted in fundamental economics. the EROI of solar has tremendously increased since the 2010s in a way that's easy to miss if you're not adjusting your priors regularly

Some in the Democratic Party want to you think we must choose between social justice and economic populism. Rubbish. The only path forward is embracing both.

last night i had a dream that mamdani visited my college and i tried to rizz him up and he let me down gently by telling me how busy he is making new york city affordable for the working class

Remember, the big argument for AI in the arts is that these “artists” have ideas, hundreds of ideas, thousands, all that was stopping them was the hoards of gatekeeping musicians, writers, illustrators… and not that they were lazy and didn’t want to put in the work.

cars don't scale. you can be the biggest bus and train hater in the world, but you'll never be able to get around the basic reality that allocating enormous physical space to 6 people each literally, logically doesn't scale. this is why we need buses and trains.

a significant part of getting people to use denser transportation instead of cars is "not making the denser transportation worse or unpleasant to use"

Insanely stupid and short-sighted choice. I didn't even know they were still trying to run this racket. You put more universities in danger with this shit you idiots!

Nancy ( Formerly Fritzi Ritz) By Ernie Bushmiller 11.29.39

so if i understand this correctly, gaines has made her career by publicly calling trans athletes predators and threats to women while completely failing to ever mention even once that her mentor/college swimming coach was sexually assaulting and harassing women on the team while she was there?

We're bombing speed boats that could totally get to the US with a few tanks of gas off the coast of Venezuela, but pardoning notorious drug smugglers caught trying to bring 400 *tons* of cocaine into the US. That's over 24 buses filled to the brim with cocaine

it would be neat if pritzker would put some teeth into his words and enforce his state's law protecting youth trans healthcare

"Without comprehensive care, transgender youngsters routinely turn to buying hormones, typically online, with little or no medical oversight"
