Just the story of his name is one of the coolest things of all time

"Solange jede Gewalttat ein Einzelfall ist, muss das Fundament nicht erschüttert werden. Solange der Vergewaltiger ein Monster ist, muss der Mann in der Bäckerei kein Täter sein. Solange der Femizid ein Beziehungsdelikt ist, muss er keine politische Kategorie sein."

1 Anfang wäre, dass alle (!) Männer nun nicht einfach davon ausgehen, dass all das nichts mit ihnen zu tun hat, sondern sich fragen, WAS es mit ihnen zu tun hat. Wo sie zur Objektifizierung von Frauen beitragen, Misogynie normalisieren, Frauen respektlos behandeln, nicht ernst nehmen. & es ändern!!

Die Lust daran und das vermeintliche Recht dazu, Frauen zu erniedrigen ist tief im herrschenden Männlichkeitsbild verankert. Wer sexualisierte Gewalt abschaffen will, darf über problematische Männlichkeit nicht schweigen.

I heard there was a secret cord that David kept in his cable hoard but he can never find it when he needs it

the goal of this press tour is clearly on behalf of the show, trying to sway lib audiences on the fence that it’s ok to watch this horseshit if you publicly decry how bad it is at the same a marketing campaign targeted squarely at cowards who somehow don’t have better things to watch

Death is inevitable. Laundry is inevitable. One of the blueberries being ungodly tart is inevitable. Ai is not. We can say no to it. We don’t want it. It is not here to stay if we don’t support it

absolutely wild how the internet has become everything they were warning about it being in the late 90s, but since the guys making bank off the scams are now white dudes in suits whose daddies paid for their college it's actually considered proper business ventures now

Männer so: “Joa, die Karriere ist jetzt hin, nech?” Das fällt ihnen als erstes ein. Die Karriere. Nicht das Leid der Frau. Dass die Karriere im Arsch ist - ja das ist jetzt echt blöd gelaufen! Alter ey ich komm nicht mehr klar auf diese Welt.

Powerful stuff from our students: "AI cannot coexist with education — it can only degrade it.... With our own university leading the charge, AI is now corrupting those few sacred spaces and leaving us with nowhere to engage in true scholarship."

Right... so... #GoodLuckHaveFunDontDie is *a lot*. I mean that as a compliment. But also as a warning. Mostly as a warning.

This thread really gets at the way amateur restorative justice processes very often become about rape apologism and protecting perpetrators—while pushing survivors out of the community they never hurt in any way.

Google is now screwing with the 10 blue links in traditional search and rewriting headlines - including ours - to be the worst kind of slop. This sucks so bad www.theverge.com/tech/896490/...

Chuck Norris doesn't go six feet under. He pushes the world six feet higher.

Absolute classic of late stage capitalist civilisation that the true shift to renewable energy wont come from not wanting to make the planet inhabitable but because fascists bombing for kicks and zealotry blocked up the supply chain

Turns out, "ironische Frauenverachtung" gibt es nicht.

Mit alt text.

Almost like gender essentialism is at its root misogynist

Remembering the ancient ways

So... he was almost a decent person but then chose to not be.

Was mir auch auffällt: Viele Frauen sind inzwischen Expertinnen für Machtmissbrauch, haben sich eingelesen seit Jahren, kennen die Literatur, die Fachbegriffe. Männer so: Was der auch, hättimanetdenkt.

I talked to @adibkhorram.bsky.social about the secret to his gorgeous, embodied sex scenes. Listen to our conversation in the Rebel Ever After feed wherever you get your podcasts. Here's the link for Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/3bQ3...

Once again the world demands I subject myself to the horrible ordeal of being conscious

Why is the Internet Archive down? I was in the middle of a podfic! How am I supposed to concentrate at work without my soothing background narration???

among all the other reasons why this is obviously evil, it’s a new ghoulish way to shame and police how we are allowed to exist in public will the AI version of a fat or disabled person eliminate those “flaws”? will it erase gray hair and wrinkles or lighten skin to “perfect” your appearance?

one of the really gross aspects of the AI zombie resurrection thing we should (carefully!!!!!) discuss more is the fact that this is not what Val Kilmer looked like when he died. they don’t want the human Val Kilmer. they want a simulacrum of the idealized memory of him you have in your mind

It's really polite of her to think the twelve withering thoughts that would have caused that poor thoughtless man to wither and die, and then not say them. class act. You can see her face process this guy is used chewing tobacco in a suit, and then she just does her job. 🫡

Where do rainbows go when they break the law? Prism. They get a light sentence. It gives them time to reflect.

my Roman Empire is how the Appalachian mountains are older than the existence of both 1) trees 2) bones

see? here's the thing. A lot of people are like, the earth is fucked, it's beyond salvation, it's hit the tipping point, but time and time again we see that if we just fucking fixed the problem, it rebounds so incredibly fast. Imagine what could be done if people actually cared

Been feeling a bit overwhelmed lately, so it feels like a good time to share my painting "Steady".

Männer üben Gewalt aus und nehmen dann ein minutenlanges Video auf in dem sie diese Gewalt schildern und dann sagen hey es war aber keine Gewalt dabei na dann alles klar Herr Kommissar hasta luego und feliz navidad happy easter und alle meine Entchen

Outlander 1x07 ("The Wedding") is one of the very few absolutely perfect episodes of tv I've seen in my life.

This article is an excellent primer for people who aren't already familiar with the destructive overlap between video games, AI, meme culture, technocracy, the manosphere, and far-right nativism.

"Der Österreicher ist eine Zweizimmerwohnung. Das eine Zimmer ist hell, freundlich, die "schöne Stube", gut eingerichtet, dort empfängt er die Gäste. Das andere ist abgedunkelt, finster, verriegelt, unzugänglich, völlig unergründlich." Bernhard van Beurden, niederländischer Komponist (1979)

This @the-independent.com story is such an obvious lift of mine that they didn’t even bother deleting my site’s referral URL. And no, they do not credit me for reporting it first or (intentionally) link to my story. In j-school, rewording someone else’s reporting was called plagiarism. 1/

In addition to the disastrous erosion of civics & basic understanding of our nation's laws having evaporated into dust, people REALLY need to read some damn LITERATURE and stop stoking otherworldly vendettas that will prove GENERATIONAL and there will be NO PITY because you did this to YOURSELVES.

hearing someone say they regularly talk to ai chatbots for anything does feel like they just rolled up their sleeve to reveal a festering zombie bite

If they're making clones anyway, I see no reason why I shouldn't get My Own Private Duncan Idaho 👉🏼👈🏼

If you have a couple of hours for some theatre and queer joy, go watch Ncuti Gatwa in The Importance of Being Earnest. Today’s the last day you can see it free on YouTube. youtube.com/watch?v=obX-...

Trans people have always existed. Trans people will always exist. Trans people just want to exist in peace. The existence of trans people has ZERO impact on your life. Trans people are not responsible for any of your problems. Transphobia is a cancer of the mind.

“Four years into the war in Ukraine, the roofs of Russia’s sprawling diplomatic premises in the Austrian capital have quietly revived one of their most important cold war functions: as the Kremlin’s largest covert signals intelligence platform in the west.” www.ft.com/content/2c54...

"Excuse me, your highness" the frog said. "May I implore you to give me a peck on the cheek?" "Not a kiss?" the princess asked. "I would not presume. A peck will turn me back into a prince for a day, so I can find a bow and arrows." "Whatever for?" "I'll kill the heron who's eating my friends!"

Aberwitz, der Mut.

Okay, the #TransRightsReadathon auction is up, and I have an offer in there! Drumroll... I will put your pet in my forthcoming book. Name, description, personality! (Nothing bad will happen to them, I'm not a monster.)
