It is very easy to read statements like this as a joke. This is not a joke. We have proven with AI, completely by accident, what knowledgeable people have been saying for decades: the environment that rich people live in gives them a very specific personality disorder.

there's really nothing wrong with being antisocial if that's truly what makes you happy - but if you are That Way, I believe it's important to remember that "almost never encountering new people or leaving the house" is not actually the *normal baseline*.

Oh my god people are giving small children AI toys and expecting them to learn communication from them??? THIS IS LITERALLY WHAT HUMANS SHOULD BE DOING THIS IS NOT AI'S JOB WHAT THE HELL www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

ICE agents have now been given the authority to detain trans people and deport permanent residents, international students, H-1B workers, and tourists over their gender markers.

As we roll into Valentine’s Day, and with Easter looming- it’s time for my annual PSA- these kill cats. Period, full stop. Lily pollen is insanely toxic and will destroy their kidneys in 18 hours. If you have cats- THROW LILIES AWAY. 1/

42 people. millions of trans people are being tortured by their governments because of 42 people.

As more details are being released it sounds like the attacker made it through the doors and was *driving down a hall*. Security shot him and he died in the truck. Apparently they found a large quantity of explosives in the back of his truck (that's from CNN). www.freep.com/story/news/l...

Police are responding to reports of an “active shooter” at a synagogue outside Detroit, where smoke is billowing from the roof.

Very normal to get an Excessive Heat warning in March.

In more than half of US states, Republican and Democratic lawmakers have introduced legislation that would boost adoption of small plug-in solar panels that sit on apartment balconies and plug directly into household outlets. Canary Media buff.ly/5B79fOA #ShareGoodNewsToo

This needs to be immortalized.

worth remembering, David Lynch directed “fix your hearts or die” specifically at transphobes. it wasn’t a generic “no mean people allowed” statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.

I know people are very sensitive about the use of the word “genocide” but the attempts to medically eliminate trans children is very clearly meets the standard because they are trying to eliminate a population and also they know some of those kids are going to kill themselves

A shocking number of people responding to this video clearly did not watch the video. David is extremely opposed to the Trump administration's terrorization of immigrant communities. He is describing serious problems with the current laws which make accountability difficult.

goddamn is this a breath of fresh air after Allred 2024

It's an entire think piece version of the old guy who goes up to the counter and theatrically announces that he DOESN'T WANT ONE OF THOSE SOY CARAMEL MOCHACHILLO WHATEVERS JUST A NORMAL BLACK COFFEE DO YOU STILL SELL THOSE

I can't compete with this.

This can all feel really scary and overwhelming. Because it is. But the important questions are: 1. What can we do to keep ourselves and our communities safe? 2. What actions can we take RIGHT NOW to reduce harm & interrupt Trump's ability to use the US surveillance state to consolidate power

On the one hand, people bemoaning that FetLife doesn't have "cookie raccoon of" or "dickgremlin of" as a role, and on the other, people writing multiple entire essays about why "pleasure doms" aren't "real"

The president who took us to a war nobody wanted (and is covering for powerful pedophiles) is now holding our government hostage until Congress passes a law that makes it easier for him to maintain power Imagine if this were happening in another country

The Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE and Border Patrol, is using a broad web of surveillance tools — purchased as its budget has ballooned under this administration — to monitor, apprehend and intimidate the people it seeks to deport and the U.S. citizens critical of its policies.

Part of the reason "Breaking Bad" is one of the greatest TV shows of all time is that its central thesis, which feels true, is that there is a monster inside all human beings, and given the chance to come out, it will, indeed, come out. Anyway, here's an article about a Let the Monster Out Factory.

Everyone needs to be talking about this.

Florida’s Board of Governors is made up of “political appointees from the business world, from insurance executives to roofing contractors, who are dictating how professors must teach their courses and even providing state-created textbooks for doing so.” My new piece in @truthout.bsky.social

Harper to the judge: "Your driver's license doesn't list your height and weight at birth. It doesn't list where you used to live. It identifies who you are now."

It's hilarious that "working class" now applies exclusively to the racist failsons of regional car dealership owners but every unemployed trans person is an "elite".

i don't get it. you can lift at the gym. being a softhanded scribe is like the pinnacle of civilized life, tens of thousands of generations of your ancestors would have murdered to be a softhanded scribe

And here's the link to a recording of last night's mass call! Some really inspiring stories from those working on the ground to block warehouses in their communities, as well as ideas for how to get involved where you live.

I don’t know why I waited so long to post this picture. You should know that all I had on when I tied @heyfaeriere.com in their latex hood was this tiny black thong 😘

I love seeing lists that are like "ten fantasy authors who are underrated and you've probably never heard of" and then the list is like Brando Sando, CS Lewis, JRRT, GRRM, Patrick Rothfuss, Robert Jordan, and then a sci fi writer for no explicable reason.

Last week, Denver’s mayor announced a new executive order that bans ICE agents from city property, citing the killing of protesters by federal agents in Minneapolis this year as motivation for the measure.

I wrote about the first national book banning bill, which effectively seeks to erase trans people. At the end I include a link to let your reps know that you oppose this bill and all it stands for. lithub.com/why-we-must-...
