Here's voice actor David Wald sharing how at the height of lockdown during a pandemic, Crunchyroll banned remote recording in an effort to union bust and also made it nearly impossible for him to work due to refusing to offer medical accommodations in studio.

the internet has the magical radicalizing potential to reveal to people that Sex Stuff is actually Normal Stuff and that it isn't actually weird for it to share a space with Other Stuff. rich freaks have been scrambling to retube this toothpaste for decades and must not be allowed to succeed

Hollywood execs are some of the dumbest motherfuckers on the planet. Not just out of touch, but also have the attention span of sleep deprived toddlers. David Goyer talking about this particular studio note he got on Man of Steel breaks my fucking brain www.gamespot.com/articles/man...

Chris Van Hollen says that Biden & other Democrats have enabled Israeli apartheid while pretending to support two states, so he calls for •Recognizing State of Palestine •End all taxpayer funded assistance to Israel •Impose sanctions •Blacklist complicit US officials •Endorse Arab Peace Initiative

STOP TELLING ME AI IS THE FUTURE OH MY GOD

The GUARD Act is even more invasive than other forms of age-verification, requiring that imperfect AV methods "reliably and accurately" determine age. This likely means that government docs are going to be even more central. It freezes your account and chat history if you refuse to upload an ID.

“The open internet as we know it allows people to access information anonymously, privately, and securely,” EFF’s @aaronmackey.bsky.social told @pcmag.com. “It’s in danger by lawmakers who have good intentions but are writing broad laws.” www.pcmag.com/explainers/...

Well holy crap. Erin Brockovich (yes, the same one the led the Hinkley, CA toxic groundwater lawsuit in ‘93) launched a website tracking AI data centers across the US and the ecological impacts to the environment and drinking water. MN is riddled with them. www.brockovichdatacenter.com

Dont be surprised if they all start quietly scaling down their use of it, eventually just stop talking abt it, all to try and save face from the scam they all took part on But don't EVER forget they never gave a shit if ppl died from the water poisoned by the datacenters, no matter what bs they say

Could there be a better example of "the trans debate" than 98% of women supporting trans people and then one single lone person voting against them and getting their way regardless. It's all such a fucking sham

the fundamental misunderstanding of how AI works is so infuriating there are never going to be small in-house LLMs. Anyone who tries needs to buy massive data sets of stolen shit from dubiously legal vendors to make it work even passably. AI is getting worse bc they're being stopped from scraping

Anyway here’s the passage of Judith Butler that the Guardian censored years ago

SCOTUS has eviscerated Section 2 of the federal Voting Rights Act, leaving voters, especially voters of color, vulnerable to discrimination. The Garden State can protect and expand voting rights by passing the New Jersey Voter Empowerment Act. Tell your lawmakers to pass the NJVEA NOW.

I’ve been trying to learn how to use watercolors lately…

its honestly kind of amazing how transphobia so rapidly was able to evaporate the myth of linear societal progress

Please remember, the future is not set in stone. We can turn things around, but it takes effort. Contact your reps, get involved in local orgs, do what you can.

with OpenAI endorsing KOSA, i'd have to go double check, but i'm pretty sure there are more Big Tech companies that support it than oppose it at this point. surely that means Blumenthal will stop smearing everyone who opposes his dangerous and poorly written bill as "shills for big tech" right?

You can bulk edit all your videos to turn this off btw!

this was HR 2616 which also bans books by or about trans and nonbinary people from schools START CALLING YOUR SENATORS NOW CIS FRIENDS TRANS KIDS NEED YOU

The dangers of government censorship & surveillance are not hypothetical, and online ID check mandates WILL give these fascists another weapon to track us and silence resistance movements. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

If anyone tries to tell you that phoning Customer Service in these situations doesn't work, you can point them to its effectiveness in last year's Itchio crackdown.

I just think it'd be fun if Lancaster pilots could make their funny dog stand on its hind legs as a threat display #lancerrpg

Mr. Beast: You have to live in this box for 100 days - Me: Deal Mr. Beast: and every day you live there I’ll pay you 10,000 dollars Me: No Deal Mr. Beast: what Me: Let’s not ruin the purity of a game with money. Would you pay a friend 10,000 dollars for every move in chess

NEW: Mahmoud Khalil is urging the Board of Immigration Appeals to re-open his case after new evidence suggests that the Trump administration improperly influenced the lower court's decision and fast-tracked his proceedings. We can't let the government get away with this misconduct.

Jfc we gotta stop these idiots from learning new words. “Industry plant” what the fuck are you talking about

Grubb dropping bombs on Twitter

“Neurodivergent people have a hard time understanding humor.” Or maybe we understand it perfectly and you’re just not funny.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court preserved nationwide access via pharmacy and mail to mifepristone, a safe and effective medication used in most abortions and for miscarriage care.

Last month's Supreme Court ruling opened the door for states to draw maps that dilute the power of voters of color. That doesn't change the fact it's discriminatory and undemocratic for politicians to manipulate elections through redistricting. Our Voting Right Project director shares the latest.

The new voting maps that politicians across the South are proposing harken back to the Jim Crow era where Black voters were methodically drawn out of the democratic process so that we couldn’t elect people who represent our communities. Our vote is our power and our right.

I say this as someone who was a huge snk fan and has been extremely disappointed at what they’ve become and the fact that supporting them means supporting human rights violations: make sure what you’re saying doesn’t sound like a British person from the 1910s talking about the Middle East

Jonathan Haidt is a grifter who is much closer to right wing conspiracy theorists than he is to any serious social scientists trying to solve complex problems like social media harms and youth mental health. Good to see students at his alma mater pushing back www.nytimes.com/2026/05/13/u...

BREAKING: Boston City Council just unanimously passed a resolution condemning dangerous age verification and censorship laws, including the proposals put forward by @massgovernor.bsky.social and the MA House. Backlash to age gating social media is growing! www.fightforthefuture.org/news/2026-05...

i say they should have surrendered much sooner & make clear that them holding out for as long as they did was delusional and destructive. right? could it be they didn't watch the video and simply guessed at the contents? surely not

twitter is arguing about my atom bomb video again. it getting called imperial japan apologia is confusing, since i'm consistently critical of imperial japan & its leaders. i even have that part calling out their war crimes & oppression, & say nothing i've said should generate any sympathy for them

I compartmentalize the horror re: the violence and destruction right now which leaves me with only what I can't, which is how much I loathe these guys for just who they are and how they talk and what they love and how they chose to live and their putrid culture etc. I just really hate these guys.

BIG NEWS: The Senate Health, Human Services and Senior Citizens committee passed a bill yesterday that if signed into law will codify protections for patients and providers accessing and providing reproductive healthcare in New Jersey, including gender-affirming care.

boycotts work. anyone stating otherwise is spreading state & corp sanctioned propoganda

generative AI disclaimers on Steam games be like:

As far as for-profit companies go, they’re not going to choose to do the right thing on their own. They will always make the world a worse place if it keeps business as usual. I think SFW creators should seek an alternative if they need to crowdfund, but that won’t be enough long term…1/2

I am once again begging the average person to understand this is christofascism. Every single man leading the payment providers that are pushing for this are christians who believe they have a mandate under the current government to reshape the world. To ignore this is to invite further censorship.

I don't talk about online censorship as much anymore because others do it much better and frankly it's just exhausting and makes me feel like shit. but please, don't let us fight this stupid-ass battle alone. y'all should be fucking outraged by what's happening whether you enjoy nsfw content or not.

Consuming porn is synonymous with "giving up on life" and sex workers get blamed for a problem they didn't cause. It's easier to blame the Jezebel for your shitty life situation. You can jack off to porn and also think women are human beings. It's really not that complicated.

it's not about protecting kids, its about tracking adults. c'mon now!

Non-safety traffic stops for issues like an expired registration don't keep us safer. Instead, they divert police attention away from addressing driving behaviors most responsible for crashes and threaten our Fourth Amendment protections against unreasonable searches and seizures.

in a better world getting caught doing something like this would be an automatic firing & permanent blacklist offense

i'd usually be like "actually it is harris's fault for not appealing to more voters" but that isn't even true here, this one was a supreme court decision wasn't it? so it is hillary clinton's fault for not appealing to more voters lol
