It's truly pandora's box that not only are we unable to close but everyone around it is going "WELL WE MIGHT AS WELL OPEN IT FURTHER. THINK OF ALL THE SOCIETAL CHANGE WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO DO IF WE MAKE THE REVENGE PORN GENERATOR EVEN STRONGER."

t4t sex is where the hardest thing in the room is the laughter

Whenever someone says “I have to be on X for my career” they’re telling you directly that child SA material isn’t an issue for them professionally 🤢

my biggest issue with AI is these dipshits keep ignoring one of it’s greatest applications (aiding in accessibility) while hurling money into shit no one really wants

i’d like to just say the popular social media generating CSAM is also the leading platform for bigots to claim without evidence that trans people are a danger to children

what’s happening with grok and nudity spam requests should be a global wake up call about AI image gen and instead very few media outlets have even covered it yet

important to note that if she had worn cheap $50 boots from target or smth, the NYP would be blasting her for not respecting the city enough to wear something nice. it’s a rigged game; heads I win, tails you lose.

Has anyone done this yet

Nice touch - the trans announcer from the subway (“Stand clear of the platform edge”) is doing the announcing

They've had their shot. They've run their nasty little hate campaign. Children have died for it. People have suffered. But we're still here. We've made movies, written books, influenced the arts, pushed into politics, and there are more of us every day. No one has ever managed to get rid of us.

yeah I achieved nirvana but it kinda doesn’t feel any different? honestly I’ve found the experience to be wanting :/

if any other area of medicine had the high efficacy and satisfaction rates and low regret that trans care does it would be considered a modern miracle

"According to a 2018 study, the percentage of trans people who end up regretting vaginoplasty is about 1 percent, significantly lower than your average knee surgery. The most common reason for regretting trans-affirming surgery, in fact, is inadequate surgical outcomes."

This, combined with "vice signaling" (taking pride in antisocial behavior) has given us the reign of the Stupid Asshole, something most people are against, but can only be remedied if we're not too polite to talk about it

The shift from "sir this is a Wendy's" to "just put the fries in the bag" indicates a cultural rightward shift; whereas the former is making fun of someone by implying they're a customer doing too much, the latter is making fun of someone by implying they're a *worker* & should know their place

These two images of Chinese train driver Han Junjia were taken less than 30 years apart. Transformative change is possible when it is relentlessly pursued.

Remember: When Tylenol was poisoned *by an outsider* and killed people, the company recalled all their products & redesigned them. When Intel’s Pentium had a bug so obscure it affected 1 in _9 billion_ long division calculations, they recalled their chips. ChatGPT was made deadly *by its team*.

the trans person’s dilemma

(daft punk One More Time voice) Auld Lang Syne

look at how little effort it takes for someone on the conservative grievance circuit to destroy a life millions of college kids have half assed an assignment at the last minute, you eat the F and move on but the effort to push trans people out of public life will use whatever it can get

transmisogyny in a nutshell:

Cis people have a hundred percent of the power in British society and yet they have chosen to make *us* the locus of and scapegoat for their anxieties about sex and gender. They are pathetic. Unfortunately for us, they are also incredibly dangerous.

"Ambitious white men in their thirties have not seen much, if any, decline over this period. Their overall employment is up...Educational attainment is up. There may be 1-2% of white men who dipped out of top 10% of personal earnings, though white men continue to be vastly over-represented there."

Heads up to artists still using Twitter- Twitter is now adding an "Edit image" button under all images posted on the site that allows everyone to feed it into genAI and modify it as they wish with a prompt

ain't no fuckin way

These people are deeply weird and obsessed with controlling other people's bodies.

Government small enough to fit in your underwear drawer…

real. I once had to use an image generator for a project that needed an example of AI imagery. it generated our character wearing gloves, and every time I asked it for the same image but without gloves, it would enthusiastically say “sure thing!!” and then give me another image with gloves.

"We will finally invent a tech so cool it produces value purely from code and electricity. Our monopoly powers will allow us to enforce creation of capital completely free from the restraints of social relations" -a bunch of dudes creating the biggest misallocation boondoggle in capitalist history

Damn shawty you out here waxing it poetically?

reiterating that The Hague is the moderate position for what should happen to everyone involved in this.

Or you might call them "camps" where people are to be "concentrated" until they are deported. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

“Like prime, but with human beings”

If you’re wondering why your friends in academia are a little on edge right now, it’s because an eighteen-year-old who hasn’t done the reading, doesn’t look at the assignment, and has does no critical thinking skills more complex than “because I think it’s in the Bible” can literally end your career

Google is hosting a CBP app that uses facial recognition to identify immigrants, while simultaneously removing apps that report the location of ICE officials because Google sees ICE as a vulnerable group.

The judge also ordered that teachers have a right to misgender trans youth even when the parents know of and are supportive of their trans child. Just in case you thought this was actually about parental rights.

my festive spirit amidst our grimly stupid reality (2025)

hi, cis folks! this week, with some democrat votes, 2 anti-trans bills passed the house. one bans medicaid funds for trans youth care, the other proposes jail time for providers. they haven't passed the senate, but dems may need convincing to vote no on both. tap into the 🧵for a quick action.

whether or not you use AI personally, it is making computer Worse and there’s nothing you can do about it

dylynn: is nextdoor just lex for straight people?

The Cracker Barrel thing was THIS YEAR. We have three more years of this shit. Anybody who makes it to 2028 without looking like Nosferatu will be required by the state to start a skincare brand.

these people are just perverts for human suffering and every decade or so they hold society hostage with some stupid new complaint

the truman show is a Certified Transgender Film btw. it’s like microdosing I Saw The TV Glow.

"Hysteria" "alarmism" "[so-and-so] derangement syndrome" etc. are synonyms for the centrist orthodoxy of "this is normal and you're overreacting" that brought us to this

get everyone gambling on their phone and then charge them for losing is actually pretty funny

UK institutions contort themselves into illogical an unethical knots to promote a single goal: anti-trans discrimination
