shot day reminder! it’s the first day of fall so it’s time to break out the pumpkin spice cypionate!

L'shanah tovah, which of course means it is time for apples and honey which are always better from your own trees

it is incredibly important information that acetaminophen is one of the very few painkillers that is safe for pregnant people to take. the push to keep people from taking it is specifically intended as medical misogyny, to make pregnancy even more painful and difficult.

The train grandpas married collectible grandmas and here we are...

I think it's still unclear whether they are actually Christian nationalists trying to destroy democracy. We should probably spend more time debating it.

what if trans people were worth as much as a talk show host, collectively if not individually, as a treat

I regret to inform you that Gwar has pushed the boundaries of good taste.

Trump is calling autism “out of control” No… Autism stigma is out of control Ableism is out of control Inaccessibility to basic healthcare and support is out of control

My Starfield save is now over 100 days of total play

While I am generally not the target market for any sort of nonconsensual sexual content, there is absolutely no world in which you can trust to the discretion of moderators in judging this sort of thing. It will always end badly, and in a different place from where YOU thought the line was.

Even if something non-consensual IS being depicted, it is still really fucking weird to go "did that person who is not real and does not exist consent to this activity that is not real and did not happen" and the default response should be "what the fuck is wrong with you"

every time Pompeii comes up i think about how they were recovering from a previous earthquake like 15+ years before and some areas were still sorting their shit out when The Big One happened. isn't that so rude. Vesuvius was such an asshole

Superman (2025) is the best superman yet. Mostly because he is kinda dorky, as he should be. Partially because Nathan Fillion makes everything better. Partially because Hawkgirl is awesome and predatory and, of course, hot. Partially because Krypto. Good movie. Enjoyed the hell out of it.

shana tova, friends.

Showed up to talk about joints and anatomy and whatnot.

If you want to know just how down bad I am, I am now playing Starfield because I miss Huong Le after playing GTA Online and Factorio for a week.

Wait did they seriously schedule the rapture on Rosh Hashanah

gotta ban users from posting free porn so companies will feel comfy buying adspace for their paid porn

Besides, it seems kinda unfair to me that Bluesky allows users to post AI generated images and videos while they’re gonna impose the updated strict rules on human artists and their fiction art. The news has been reported that the major Gen AI datasets include CSAM.

We must collectively fight antis and defend those they attack. It's a vital necessity now.

Stop trying to argue with the logic of the right. The right purposefully employs inconsistent logic to specifically in order to make people show it is above consistency. It is purely about dominance. And it also has the added benefit of getting its foes obsessed with arguing instead of fighting.

People who use AI think that they’re skipping to the success when they’re skipping to the failure. You begin and end your life as someone who has not written the novel, you did not teach yourself to express what was inside of you, you died without making something that no one else could make.

This video was not exactly what I expected but

Thread.

As a porn artist I'm not asking the SFW crowd to be into the freaky shit we're onto. Everyone has boundaries. But an effort to understand this world would be appreciated. Talk to sex workers. ask them about their experiences in the industry. Work WITH us to create a safer internet.

Additionally, that two million is not much more than the trans population of the United States. If you add in the allies, they're WAY outnumbered.

watching even a few seconds of the kirk funeral makes it clear a large quantity of this country is ready for full on nazi authoritarianism and we have to really grapple with how much we need to put a stop to this as quickly as possible

what fucks me up about the Bluesky TOS update is fucking every adult creator i know wants MORE labels and filter options. we WANT more granular control over the labels and spoilers we can put on our work so people who want to curate their timeline to avoid us CAN DO SO

This is the way. Re-pledged to PBS, as well.

OH, so Charlie Kirk was the surrogate son for a bunch of elderly conservative weirdos whose adult children have gone no-contact for whatever reason. This explains everything

I am grudgingly beginning to consider that the only way to get all the assets my game needs finished in a reasonable timeframe may be to model them in 3D which means I will have to learn Blender again since what moderate skills I had in it are like... 2.1 era

The early website that did this was not Twitter but in fact somethingawful.com, a surprisingly influential website, which substantially loosened speech restrictions in its most popular forums. This resulted in a massive exodus from which the website never recovered.

As usual, the Right reveals who they really are: You can be a criminal, but if you're on our side we'll cover for you.

Fucking hell, AGAIN?

my favorite subgenre of Halloween decoration is “skeleton of things that absolutely do not have skeletons”

Truly tragic

honestly those little "i consent!" bubbles are more memorable than any blackout could ever be get fucking loud, motherfuckers

And, in many cases, that they perceive only in their imagination. "It is okay to treat people differently when, in the absence of actual knowledge about them, I have made some shit up in my head"

The real problem is that so many of the top 10%, 1%, 0.1% got their money from inheritance or blind luck and know absolutely jack fucking shit about actual finance, so they think when the stock market goes up it is real money they really have and not just a speculative prediction of the future

Finally got around to watching "Colour Out of Space" and it is the greatest fucking Lovecraft adaptation I have ever seen, like, they GET it. They really get it. And they changed all the stuff that sucks because Lovecraft was such a shitty writer and a galloping racist. Fucking amazing movie.

Words cannot express the straight-up PHENOMENAL animation and voice acting of this game. It's in-fucking-credible and if you haven't played it you need to. Production values are off the Goddamn charts.

look you can allow art that grosses you out to exist or you can be a fascist. "But surely there can be an exception for--" nope. exceptions mean you're a fascist. "But--" NOPE. fascist.

it should go without saying but if you want users to voluntarily tag their art then you need to not threaten to ban them if they do. like, you can either have a well-regulated, easily-filtered art ecosystem or you can ban art you don’t like and see it come oozing back out of every crack and crevice

I don't think YouTube understands that I am subscribed to several Korean language channels so I can LEARN KOREAN and autodubbing them with AI makes them absolutely fucking worthless I mean sure it isn't helping as it is, and my Korean is still complete fucking garbage, but still

i would like for fewer children to be at the complete and total mercy of utterly brainwashed death cult member parents but that seems to be a lot to ask of many people in america who are at least a 6 on the kinsey-like sliding spectrum of “children are a thing you own.”

Just gonna leave this here…

i think one thing people have a hard time grasping is that the central figures of the trump administration are not bad as in "the worst republican blowhard you know," but bad as in "the worst people you have ever heard of." donald trump is a serial rapist whose best friend was a pedophile.
