Wait, what!? Ghislaine Maxwell is being waited on ‘hand and foot’ in a ‘luxury’ prison: a top official said he was ‘sick of having to be Maxwell’s bitch.’ Trump made sure the woman who helped traffic girls for billionaires gets spa treatment in exchange for her silence. #StopJohnsonsEpsteinCoveup

so glad the child sexual abuse panic was squarely pointed at folks like me by the people actually doing it & the public was like “yeah, seems right—freaks did it. not the men with all the money & fighting to keep child marriage legal, the women that are legal to kill in 30 states if you’re nervous.”

Today's a great day to support some creators. Writers and artists and creatives of all sorts: reply with a link to one of your works. And feel free to tell us about it. Everyone: let's check through the replies and buy some creations and support some human beings.

listen. I'll do it. if nobody steps up. I'll be the hero we* need. I don't want to draw but I'll write it you can @ me marvel *me and the like two other guys on earth who remember Tommy Shepherd exists and ask pertinent questions like "what if Tommy was IN the comics" on Reddit once every 3-4 years

I’ve seen a few folks go for the “if you simply must watch that new Harry Potter show just pirate it” and sorry. No. Just no. Just don’t watch it. At all. Ever. Break free of it. It’s time. You’ll be ok. I promise. I know it mattered to you as a kid. Find new things, it’s healthier. Just move on.

水の月(2024.9)

Such a bummer when a song pops up from a music group I haven't listened to in awhile so I go checkout what new stuff they might have but they're using genAI for album covers now. Dead to me.

"Oh gosh, wow, 8 rogue Dem senators, the exact number of votes Republicans needed to reopen the government, voted yes. I, Chuck Schumer have nothing to do with that" is such obvious BS.

Rutherford County Library System in Tennessee is shutting down two of its branches so that they can ban books without any oversight. Why? The Tennessee Secretary of State gave them the permission slip to do it. bookriot.com/rutherford-c...

Good morning! AI is being force-fed to you by a handful of billionaires who will lose a bunch of money if they fail to convince you that you need it. You do not need it 🫶

Not to be the fun police but I do hope people know that Arc Raiders does use generative AI for voice acting, and by supporting the game you're letting higher-ups know that this is an okay practice. They try to downplay this on the Steam store page by describing the AI usage as vaguely as possible.

Buried in the Big Beautiful Bill were changes to food assistance that demanded “any future change be cost-neutral. Translation: no more benefit increases, even if food prices skyrocket.” The result was “institutionalized hunger.” @kristencrowell.bsky.social www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

This story is infinitely more important than GTA getting delayed. Don't let me catch you moaning about waiting longer for a video game if you're not mad about why it happened.

No matter how hard people try to convince us having empathy is wrong, it is right. No matter how hard people try to convince us that diversity is a weakness, it is a strength. No matter how hard people try to convince us that love is limited, it is unlimited.
