my 75yo mother told me last night that she’s planning to delete Instagram and Facebook because she’s sick of not being able to tell what’s AI and what’s not, and I genuinely don’t think tech companies have reckoned with this kind of move as an actual possibility

Whenever I talk about the transphobia and racism and ableism and misogyny I see from judges, I get people saying that must be illegal (it is, they do it anyway because there are no consequences) or that I should report them (for a while I did, and nothing happened),

Actual exchange from court today: Me: I can't do January 20 for the hearing, your honor, because I'm having surgery, but I can do [dates in February] Judge: Ordinarily I'd accommodate medical issues, but not for people like you. Attend from the hospital if you have to.

US invasion of Greenland now seems likely. Insane.

Just $100 short now!

Utah commissioned it's department of health to do a systematic review of gender affirming care for trans youth. In a 1000 page plus report found it was beneficial and the evidence was substantial. The lawmakers rejected it anyways. www.deseret.com/politics/202...

It rules so hard that this interview got big enough for the NYT to try to do firefighting and that Trans News Network said fuck off we don't owe you column space.

✨ 2025 art summary ✨ This year I drew almost 100 commissions 😳 I'm so grateful for all your likes, shares, follows and most importantly orders! Your support is very appreciated! So, which month is your favourite? 💜 You can check all the artworks in the comments!

Fiddling with the next Hard Wired Island KS and thinking about the scammer that popped up on my last project. What I need is a plausible-sounding high-level bait tier for the next scammer to squat so they don't deny someone a "create a sample PC" slot

My mother was a refugee of the Salvadoran civil war. The Americans backed the fascists that took over the country. Now Salvador is run by a pro yankee crypto dictator who has built the largest concentration camp in the western hemisphere. That, is American intervention.

I'm now four days late on the rent. I just need $300 more to make it. That's 3 people at $100, 6 at $50, or 15 at $20. Anything helps! Thank you.

I do not believe in the death penalty for humans. I do support the death penalty for corporations. When they murder people, let's dissolve them. Break them up, destroy their technology, nationalize their assets. arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

little did we know, it was praxis the whole time

We have published the following update to our article following an email response from the New York Times. Trans News Network has a policy against platforming bigotry. As such, we have declined to publish the Times' statement which included blatant transphobia.

amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders

"it's still decorated enough" you are the page example of male living space on wikipedia 🫵

I wrote a follow-up to my essay on the Bondi shooting. sakr.substack.com/p/arming-the...

"Attorneys get their clients off on technicalities!" If my client is walking on a "technicality," it's because either the state, their bank, or their landlord BROKE THE LAW and therefore should not win.

Here's my schedule for the week! We're continuing the Limbus storyline as it comes out, as planned. If I finish it early I'll just be taking the time off for myself however. #VTuber #ENVtuber #ShrineRunners

Something I'm definitely running into lately with LLM chat bots taking over translation is that it's getting significantly worse. An icelandic word like "Þor" used to be accurately translated as "daring" but lately these services just kind of... guess in English based on look? And it gave me "pour"

Finished that big commission! Here's the complete support elements for the 1st Balligorean Fusiliers: aerospace fighters, tanks, missile batteries, dinosaur cavalry, foot and jump infantry, and a mobile repair base for the unit's BattleMechs. #BattleTech

I'm sorry, it feels so gross to have to post this during a crisis, but the world spins on and I still have to make rent. I'm about $350 short. Anything helps, especially shares. Thank you.

Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva says the US crossed an 'unacceptable line' following attacks on Venezuela and the capture of its president, Nicolas Maduro.

Look. You gotta read history. (I promise it's interesting. And if you look you can find parts of it that you will actually want to know more about.) But more than anything, you gotta read history because it teaches, again and again and again, that every dark chapter has a close.

Imagine being the person brave enough to leak this in the hopes that media attention could stop it and then the media just……buries it.

What if none of these things is a distraction from the other things and instead they're all just horrible things

Reminder for everyone operating at situationally-diminished capacity.

Donald Trump has made it clear that he will invade as many countries as we allow him to. He has already mentioned Mexico, Cuba, even Canada. We should identify pressure points for action that could render that impossible for him. Against all imperialist aggression. crimethinc.com/posters/agai...

Sometimes there's no conspiracy. An imperial government doesn't do imperialism because of a shadowy conspiracy or bribes. An imperial hegemon does imperialism and genocide because it seeks to reinforce its own power.

It's honestly impressive how much boundless energy Tofu has for Chaos

Remember that the US *does not care* about the people of Venezuela. It is not about "narcotrafficking", or "democracy", or whatever propaganda they have going. It is *explicitly* about US control over oil, capital accumulation, and geopolitical power.

I just think it's funny that the Microsoft CEO thinks that he's going to convince people to stop calling genAI slop. Remember:

They plunder, they butcher, they ravish, and call it by the lying name of "Democracy".

There's studies suggesting that AI usage is causing cognitive decline, even when it's not causing psychosis and encouraging its users to harm themselves and others, just regular old usage is damaging. Far from a "cognitive amplifier" like this slop peddler suggests, it's a cognitive atrophier.

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: yum yum yum human suffering is nummy nummy 😋

And this is why they hate social media:

swirling my coffee and thinking about the future of Greenland, and Iceland soon after

Here's an emergency feel-good photo. It seems y'all need it right now. A trio of kangaroos at Lincoln National Park which is at the bottom of Eyre Peninsula and very far away from the terrible world events.

And with these the Unmarked are a full company. Might add more to them later but they're done for now. #battletech #miniaturepainting

And with that, we've cleared part 1 of the new Limbus Canto! I'm not going to be streaming tomorrow because honestly, life's a bit much right now. We will come back to Limbus on Thursday however! Thanks for tuning in everyone!
