You used to have to do a layer or two of analysis to arrive at "Generative AI is fascist, don't use it."

Wow: Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention (named for Holocaust survivor Raphael Lemkin, who coined term "genocide") calls Clinton's remarks "genocide denial." "Young people in the US are not stupid or gullible. They simply reject genocide – something the Secretary might consider doing as well."

There is a direct correlation between how fake your job is and how much value you see in AI

it's 2025 and the gangly guy who appeared on a few seasons of The Office is now our only mirror to society

Transphobia is an elite project. This is never more clear than when you observe the alliance of billionaires, media bosses and front-bench politicians, who collude to preach it ever more desperately to a public that still, mostly, just doesn’t care.

“i can’t leave twitter, i need it, it’s where my audience is”

this map for Disco Elysium Final cut is i believe the most time consuming jobs i've done was super fun

I can’t agree that people stopped “virtue signaling” because the term almost instantly became meaningless; it was applied to any expression of caring or thoughtfulness. I don’t think the vice signaling came from an absence of virtue signaling, rather from the non-cessation of expressions of decency

Gingerbread men and their small gingerbread gametes.

today i made an art exhibit trash can tell a story, each discarded cig i found on my walking trail was something from a person who needed to soothe themselves and yet they discarded it with lack of thought or respect to the surroundings and those who inhabit it. what does that say about them?

then, the transphobes , feeling victorious at how many people they have made unhappy and despairing in the previous week, move on to anything else that has a spectrum and the possibility of more colours than they can conceive - such hateful people - they cannot understand anything that is not THEM

When you want to talk to somebody but there's nobody around so you shout into the social media void and even fewer people than nobody will hear you.

It's good to remember that rightwing accusations are always a confession.

If I had to choose between allying with the actor whose done a fine job in some not so great films and the director with an unhealthy fixation on using the N-word, I'll have Matthew Lillard's back.

By the way everyone, what right-wing politicians say about immigrants is literally also what they believe about you. You having an ordinary job is a kind of favour your generous employer and the nation has done you, allowing you to reproduce your existence despite not being AN ENTREPRENEUR

Everything is a mystery or conspiracy if you lack knowledge. 💀

It is an absolutely delightful irony that the richest man in the world is universally acknowledged to be a huge fucking loser who not a single living person envies in any way at all

One reason I am fully in support of revolutionary organizing and active militancy is that these guys are all fucking baby men who fold at the slightest pushback. We once ran off an armed fascist march of like 50 of these stupid assholes with five people and a pickup

The rich want us to have a world free of working class art. The only art they want is what they can sell top-down to the masses and art that they can invest in as a speculative market. When the working class creates art they are not generating profit for the capital class and they hate this

Yes. This take is truly important. That’s why indie rock and hip hop, self published books, small press, small town art galleries, open mic, zines and Indy wrestling, web comics and creator owned business are so important.

I'm so fucking sick of hearing "Yeah life is actually supposed to be so stressful that your hair falls out, that's normal deal with it" life is not supposed high stakes stress 24/7 but we made it that way and refuse to admit it impacts mental health www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The moment you understand that gender segregation largely exists in sports to protect the egos of fragile men from the indignity of losing to a woman or to allow women to compete without enduring unwelcoming "No Girls Allowed" spaces in sport then the lie behind "protecting women" becomes apparent.

Dude. Yes. Alito and Thomas are of course the standout examples, but all of the Republican justices have tells in their writing and their questioning indicating that they are, to varying degrees, marinating their brains in dumb bitch juice

Nobody involved in this should draw a free breath for the rest of their lives

I don't care if a non-disabled person accesses a disability accommodation for the same reason I don't care if a child whose parents are rich gets free lunch at school. We don't need to means test being a kind person. I have better things to do with my time than be a cop over social services.

Hakeem Jeffries Calls For Execution Of Central Park Five

You can’t tell if someone is disabled just by looking at them. There’s no such thing as the “genuinely disabled”. You are not entitled to a person’s entire medical history just so you can decide whether to believe them or not. People are not faking disability, most are trying to fake being well.

All super rich guys sound the same now. It’s all “I sleep four hours a night and spend the other twenty hours a day developing a product that’s going to bring us the best widespread poverty anyone’s ever seen.”

it finally happened -- a good student of mine vanished from class about six weeks ago. this student reappeared today and explained that they had been in ICE detention in another state during that time. ICE needs to end. ICE needs to end. ICE needs to end.

It’s always validating getting emails from developers who watched a video and felt like their frustrations were thoroughly voiced. I could never claim to actively speak for any other workers in the industry, but it means a lot that when I do speak, others feel heard.

And I don't know if the answer is: everyone is too traumatized to do work and we need to reinvent society. Or if it's more like: generations are losing their cognitive abilities and willpower due to destructive technologies. Or: we all have post-viral brain damage. Or: all of the above.

It is essential to remember that Sensible centrists got everything they wanted in the UK. The left smashed, their Competent Sensible politicians won by a landslide last year and have a huge majority and the policies they dreamed of implemented. And the result is endless horror.

you gotta remember that from a conservative perspective, these programs are a failure. they don't want to reduce homelessness, they want to punish homeless people. they'd pay 10x as much for that happily

This composition had eluded me for nearly a decade, but yesterday I was finally able to capture it. A train rolled through just as the Duquesne Incline was crossing over the tracks in #Pittsburgh, creating a picture perfect winter scene. It was worth the hours and hours I've waited over the years.

Anyways

It’s wild how there’s several different videos of several different establishment democrats giving public talks where they say “it’s a shame young people can see videos of war crimes online because they’re missing the context behind the war crimes”

A core problem for American liberalism is a constitutional inability to tell people who were important to the movement decades ago to go away because they're not relevant anymore. Reagan/GW Bush admin people might as well not exist to the modern right. Maybe that's...something to consider.

If I saw these ads in the opening level of a sci fi game about eugenics I'd be like "ehhhh maybe too on the nose"

If I was better at video effects I would edit her hands to be covered in blood and dripping everywhere. I guess I COULD pitch her voice down so she sounds more like the demon she is.

When writing this piece, I kept thinking back to this Instagram post I saw from a trans woman the other day. This is what I'm talking about. Watch this:

A whole-ass thread to read:

"Manos" the Hands of Fate has interesting ideas.
