"Haidt’s claims of inherent harm are not well-founded, and the policy proposals to ban kids entirely from social media are a bad idea. For older teenage boys, having no social media was associated with *worse* outcomes than having too much of it"

Most of the moral messaging in children's television programming when I was a kid was utterly uncontroversial at the time, and would be attacked as woke indoctrination today.

Look for the helpers, pro sex work edition: An adult toy / sex ed shop in MN called The Smitten Kitten is taking mutual aid donations for folks who are understandably afraid to leave their houses. In December they also raised $18K to support Somali women in MN. www.goodgoodgood.co/articles/min...

I'd love to build out my list of BIPOC illustrators interested in book covers or page illustrations!! If anyone is interested (or if you want to rec an artist), please introduce yourself, ideally with some art samples and/or portfolio link!✨ *Absolutely no AI allowed, and please tag any NSFW art!

Thinking about how bsky has the most horrible setting turned on by default that says "i don't want to see any other languages except English" and if no one tells you to put it on "no selection" you straight up won't see posts from people set to different languages on your TL.

There is going to come a time in your life when you are chatting with a guy, at a barbecue or something, a new coworker maybe, a dad at school drop off, and he tells you he used to be in ICE. You’re going to need to spit on that guy

Democratic leaders need to fear being branded as collaborators more than they fear being called soft on crime

The V&V 2.0 Player Guide (99% done) is available to download! Give it a looksee on the link below or on Patreon! Aside from the mild lore changes and three new classes (Druid, Fae Knight & Ranger) the main improvement is that the text is actually fuckin searchable! drive.google.com/file/d/1WSns...

In the 2010s, the Icelandic tv station Channel 2 accidentally added subtitles from a gritty crime drama to an episode of Teletubbies. I have translated some of the highlights

[AI bubble bursts] billionaire tech bro: the stupid consumer did not understand it

Quality performance art. Easy to parse, thematically relevant, kinda gross. Love it.

Look. I don’t trust the Dems, or any party, to give us liberation. But right now, we have to use every lever we can to stop ICE from surveilling snd terrorizing our communities. If enough people speak out right now we have a real shot at getting House Dems to vote en masse against ICE funding

PSA: If you have recently made a purchase from Canada Computers with a credit card, you will probably want to have that card cancelled. "The malware is a Magecart-style script that listens for keystrokes on input fields, validates them, and steals them." Please let your Canuck friends know.

Call your reps. Let them know that if they vote for ICE funding, you will not vote for them ever again. Representatives need to feel the heat. NO on ICE funding. No excuses.

:DD Chun-li I guess?

TERRIBLE spotter 🙄

The Empire Strikes Back With Big Naturals.

Senator Gallego weighs in as well. Note that at the start of 2025 he was considered a *moderate* on immigration and co-sponsored the Laken Riley Act. Him and many other Dems have been increasingly horrified at what ICE is doing and shifted away from a "more enforcement" focus.

“But the surprise of the moment has been the extraordinary solidarity that ordinary Americans have shown with immigrants and against Trump-Miller-Vance's parade of ethnonationalist horrors.” This is the reason we’re going to win.

WE?!!! How is it on us now to find out what this bullshit is useful for LMAO

Anything is better than nothing. Leaving a message for your rep is so SO much better than you just sitting and stewing about it or complaining about it online. And if you're gonna complain online, at LEAST @ YOUR REPS! MAKE THEM SEE YOUR COMPLAINTS! BE LOUD!

abolish ice but also the entirety of DHS. They were founded in the xenophobia/kleptocracy patriot act spree of 2002 and never should have existed to begin with.

Marvel Rivals' update did something to text-wrapping in chat. Guess how hard I lost my shit seeing this 🎮

I’m demanding Sec. Noem provide an explanation for this abhorrent policy & that my Republican colleagues hold hearings & join me in demanding the Trump Admin answer for this lawlessness. 6

Bullies do not want to fight. They want you to surrender in advance. Once they encounter resistance, they most likely will back off. Why? Because they want to dominate, but not fight. They will not hurt themselves to hurt you. Once he knows the pain is coming, it’s likely over.

Yesterday it was cows using tools, today its penguins using satellite imagery.

weird how the solution to unregulated industries is to regulate people instead

Lil' comic about hope and longing 💗

We’ve been speaking out against KOSA since it was introduced in 2022 by Marsha Blackburn, a bigot and outspoken advocate for censoring trans people off the internet in effort to “protect children from the transgender in this culture.” KOSA has ALWAYS been about censorship and suppression.

I have seen the light 🙏

'Why aren't they in the streets' is answered almost every day in my small town by people in the streets! Rather than asking 'why aren't they in the streets' it's worth asking 'why isn't your media showing them in the streets' and 'who is served by downplaying resistane in its myriad forms.'

There should be a rule that if you are a Known Sports Poster you can say things like “holy fucking shit” with zero context but if you are primarily a Known Politics Poster that gets you like a two day ban

a year ago i wrote a story that went viral over here about how republicans could create a de facto national care ban for trans medicine to stop it, democrats would have to hold the line in funding talks, and staff in congress told me they were unsure if they would today, they stopped it

Please enjoy this local news: “Lehigh County Executive Josh Siegel said he is evicting an Immigration and Customs Enforcement unit from a county-owned building where it has occupied an office for about three years but never paid rent… “We’re going to deport ICE,” Pinsley said at the news conference”

This is, in my opinion, not only the correct moral/ethical/legal position but also the correct political framing. Everyone can see the agency is out of control; everyone can see that it is constantly violating human rights. "Scrap it and start over" is the moderate position.
