And rounding out the original #lobotomy_corporation Magical Girl trio is the Queen of Hatred, albeit with @inthenameoflove04.bsky.social at the helm for much of it. The dress and hair were a pain in the ass to do, but the end result is something we both like.

If bluesky does go up in flames, I would like to make a suggestion: maybe try making the next social media website a different colour. I mean, the blue probably isn't the thing driving the CEOs to madness, but it's worth checking.

This really makes it sound like a Border Patrol agent tried to kill an anti-ICE activist in Chicago and DHS lied to cover for him

Quick reminder that Spotify's CEO doesn't care at all about what you think, nor artists or listeners. If you ever want to move to Deezer (still crossing fingers they do not jump into AI too), they have a tool to import all your Spotify's playlists. Plus : Spotify audio quality sucks.

You. Are. Allowed. To. Insult. The. Police. It’s a core First Amendment principle. This is utterly lawless behavior, for which there will be no (short-term) consequences. That he does it so casually, as they are walking away, in front of cameras. Rightly confident in his impunity.

IF YOU ARE GERMAN, YOU NEED TO CONTACT YOUR MEPs AND DEMAND THEY OPPOSE CHAT CONTROL -RIGHT- -NOW- the link below contains individual emails and everything, PLEASE do not sleep on this!

Reminder that the Nazis were engaged in the largest organized theft in history at the same time they worked to eradicate their perceived enemies globally. The theft of Jewish art, gold etc were part of the process of the final solution and its proto states.

We're in governmain't atm.

gaminghq.eu/2025/09/30/d... www.polygon.com/2024/4/20/24... Discord's new TOS is forcing all users to re-opt out of forced arbitration, using the clickwrap agreement to force all users into agreeing to the terms in order to use Discord at all.

American media is not just complicit with fascism. It is a direct part of the machinery of fascist un reality and part of that reality is absolutely downplaying the state violence being used against cities and states they see is the enemy.

The fact the governor of Illinois is beging for citizen coverage because media as a whole is intentionally not covering the governments terror campaign should be absolutely a five alarm fire if you are not already figuring out the federal government is at war against us.

As online attackers push to get workers fired for online speech, there's a lot a steward can do: ✅Make the employer present the case ✅Ask how the episode is relevant to the workplace ✅Mobilize members around defense of free speech labornotes.org/2025/09/how-...

First time dual fronting in a while, and @inthenameoflove04.bsky.social seems to be smushed against the wheel. Certainly a new experience.

Finally beat Love Town in #libraryofruima yesterday. Trying to actually beat noted vertical difficulty spike Queen of Hatred now.

This has been a rare occurrence, But if any plural folks try and correct us when we say "I" or "me" when referring to ourselves collectively or to something that a different one of us did specifically, I guarantee you we really do not care. We don't have to be performatively plural.

Support independent media, now more than ever. Not just news and politics, but film, TV, fashion and other cultural criticism and commentary, from podcasts to apps to good old-fashioned web sites. Pay for it. Turn your adblocker off so they can keep the lights on. Share it.

It should be apparent now that the goalposts are being shifted as it becomes clear neoliberalism cannot cope with the weight of fascism, and we have moved now to the portion where there’s an attempt to normalize that living under fascism for a little bit is better than actually stopping this now.

If you wrote a "Trump distances himself from project 2025" story in 2024 you are either a dupe or one of our enemies. They are cackling with laughter that the media they're now destroying enthusiastically helped them dupe the voters

I rest my case.

article is free now

Just in case any of y'all thought they'd actually filibuster the appropriations bills coming with all the anti-trans provisions and shut the government down. Call your senators, demand no anti-trans and anti-LGBTQ+ provisions in appropriations bills.

It's worth asking why every elite institution is issuing statements like this rather than pointing out the obvious fact that the institutional right commits and glorifies violence far more than the left. Is there a reason you feel you can't say that out loud? www.nytimes.com/2025/09/10/o...

Its research is better than most news shows and its gags are better than most comedy shows but for me what sets it above most shows is that it always tries to ask "What can we do about this?"

Class is in session. What you already believe affects how you process new information. We saw this after the Oklahoma City bombing.

Great article about why kink art is so important

One thing Charlie Kirk's assassination has revealed is the extent to which the elite liberal media class has abandoned reality for a post-truth politics previously embraced by the right.

My thoughts wrt the past few days.

Banning a trans woman from a public platform and canceling her work is the exact sort of material harm that the dead asshole advocated for. @moderation.bsky.app, reinstate @scumbelievable. DC uncancel Red Hood. Everyone else, hire Gretchen. Buy her books. Black Flame's on my TBR list.

Oh, hey. Visa and Mastercard now say you can't pay for WoW. Magic the Gathering. FFXIV. DnD. Lord of the Rings. Because they're all "adult" content against their ToS just for being "fantasy". Let that sink in. Spread this like wildfire and have people in those circles call them. No quarter.

American friends, please call your reps!

I simply cannot stress it enough. You cannot sit this out. They are coming for EVERYTHING. No media, no creators are safe under these policies. They want us poor, they want us criminalized, they want us disenfranchised. Call paypros. Call your reps. Do SOMETHING.

"Harvard can't use race as a factor in admissions, but ICE can use race as a factor in detentions" is a retrenchment essentially to a pre-Civil War understanding of the Constitution. It's vanishingly few steps removed from "Latinos have no rights which the white man is bound to respect."

Fight the neo-confederates like it’s 1851!

If you want a place to start fighting back vs Visa and Mastercard and you live in these regions? Heres a great thing you can do to get your activism start Live elsewhere? Look into whether your govt has any similar petitions, or what you can do to start one yourself

Visa and Mastercard reportedly coming for FAIRIES and CAT EARS Get on the phone and ask them wtf is up because this even made me double take bsky.app/profile/dark...

Being subjected to the past few weeks of the Cool Zone™️ is starting to make me understand why I’ve been up front the most ever since crystallizing. I’m glad I’m here at all, but the circumstances surrounding everything just sucks so hard.

This wouldn't just ban federal funds from directly funding gender-affirming care, it would be an effective ban on ANY facility that receives ANY federal funding for ANY reason from providing gender-affirming care. It's a de-facto ban. Call your congressmen.

Shoutout to the infinite download glitch in the current Limbus Company update. I’m actually starting to draft my own plot bunnies now.

the funniest shit is that you could always have just used, like, firefox or chrome's built in bookmarking feature for this?

This is useful btw!

“Separate but equal” making quick gains in the highest court in the country should probably scare people far more than it is.

Is this what I sound like

Something to keep in mind when talking about the Temporary Foreign Worker program in Canada. Is it bad? Yes. Is that badness being used to shift the narrative to an anti-immigrant one? Also yes.

Highest level of support since Gallup started asking this question a quarter century ago

Just like anti-vaxers, people who dislike immigrants are a weird terrible fringe group and we should treat them like the weird terrible fringe group they are.

If the Milky Way collides with Andromeda in ~5 Gyr, it will initially look a lot like this. And scientists have images simulating the sky from Earth (about 3 minutes in) youtu.be/qnYCpQyRp-4?... Our own @drbecky.bsky.social has a video on the possible collision too: youtu.be/BxylLJj5y4s?...

If I understand correctly this is potentially the first of many such lawsuits, given how many companies have used the datasets in question...would love to see people take on OpenAI or Meta based on this and put the pedal to the metal 🔥💀

I don’t think we should take this, y’all. 1. It’s the square root of fuck all 2. They offered it in a trice: scared 3. If they had asked me for licensing in advance, 10x this fee wouldn’t have been acceptable 4. This is more than just our jobs. It’s everybody’s jobs and the planet 5. We can *win*

Don’t use the 988 hotline, please use this instead. Cops are harmful towards trans people. They aren’t trained enough.
