I own a Cintiq 21UX. It's perfectly functional, but it's over a decade old, now. When I attempt to update it through the manufacturer's interface, it literally tells me to buy a new tablet instead of downloading the drivers.

Once I was in a Discord server with an image description rule. Someone posted an image with the ID "Shoal Creek." The mods asked them to provide a better description. Why? It was a photo of the Shoal Creek area, so what's the problem? Because the picture was of a FLOOD. Crucial info was missing.

At least we don’t live in a world of staggering class disparity in which a tech magnate attempts to quash left-wing sentiment using sexualized artificial intelligence!

So yeah this shit should be illegal. www.reddit.com/r/confession...

The lesson of 2025: fighting back works. Not immediately. Not perfectly. It’s a grind. But don’t let fascists tell you they are inevitable. 2026 is starting off right.

They're going to *throw out* one-of-a-kind NASA archives?! Not even a year since the Inauguration & we're already at the 2nd-time-as-farce version of the burning of the Library of Alexandria.

One eg: “While many news stories presented the!passport rules as a question of trans people feeling respected and validated, the real stakes are much greater. A document with the wrong gender could imperil their safety by outing them in hostile countries or by leading authorities to suspect fraud.”

Heartbreaking: asked Steam to recommend me games similar to a couple I enjoy and I already own all the ones it recommended 😭

Do I know anyone who speaks Cantonese? I'm copy editing something and want to make sure some phrases are accurate and transliterated in a way that makes sense. Can pay you for your time.

Autistic people do not, as a rule, receive age-appropriate education. Not even the ones who got held back or skipped a grade. It screws people over long-term. That's all just factual, though. My woke opinion is that this is a serious moral failure by our school system

By any reasonable historical standard — including that of the technology industry! — ChatGPT should be pulled from the market and its product managers and executives held accountable for creating a product that ROUTINELY tells teens to kill themselves. This is a basic, common sense standard.

Remember: When Tylenol was poisoned *by an outsider* and killed people, the company recalled all their products & redesigned them. When Intel’s Pentium had a bug so obscure it affected 1 in _9 billion_ long division calculations, they recalled their chips. ChatGPT was made deadly *by its team*.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has stated that the 1918 flu pandemic was caused by a lab virus from vaccine research, a defective influenza vaccine. Let’s analyze what a lie this is. First, in 1918, 107 years ago, virology was in its infancy

To state what should be obvious but I'll bet isn't to everyone who watches this... This is what the thought process of a racist who cannot possibly allow themselves to think they're a racist looks like. This is how they rationalize their behavior and deflect from cognitive dissonance.

Monstrously shitty Supreme Court rulings aren't new (Dred Scott v. Sandford). Breathtakingly stupid and corrupt presidencies aren't new, either (Harding/Teapot Dome). No one is saying things are great, but calling this shit unprecedented or unrecoverable is just factually wrong. Suspiciously so.

“I miss blockbuster video” the library has every dvd totally untouched and I never see you there

The judge also ordered that teachers have a right to misgender trans youth even when the parents know of and are supportive of their trans child. Just in case you thought this was actually about parental rights.

the united negro college fund is unconstitutional... but not the ku klux klan? not the proud boys? not ice? fuck all the way off with that old bullshit.

The FDA says tight underwear is a medical device if trans people enjoy wearing it. More on the nonsense from our federal government by @alyssaur.bsky.social www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

It's funny how if *you* tried selling your own stuff to yourself to get rich, people would laugh their asses off at you for being so foolish. But when a billionaire does the exact same thing, somehow he actually does get richer.

And, of course, always worth putting your money toward your own community: do512.com/p/how-to-aid...

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans. 🧵 1 of 9

They're the funniest thing ever and I love them so much (as tax for saying they're funny, please accept this artist's rendition of a moment from my personal life that I sent my friends a couple months back)

vanity fair photographer christopher anderson posts this story on his instagram, suggesting he intentionally posed stephen miller underneath a painting of native americans

When Google search launched, people didn’t need to be berated into it. There was no “you better figure out some way to use this.” People just tried it, quickly saw it directed them to information they sought and helped them navigate the internet, and kept going back to use it more. Just sayin’.

I heard there was a secret meat With paprika, and spicy heat But you don't really care for sausage Nduja ...sorry, I can delete this. I've just seen a few posts in this format and I wanted in.

this is a good reminder of how things that are shitty but have been accepted as normal and inevitable can actually turn out to be abnormal and evitable with some science, time, education and political will

There's a series of things (like the ballroom, Gulf of America) that we're going to have to *undo* the moment this guy is out of office. And yet I can already hear future Democrat presidents saying "I'm focused on the people's work, not the knucklehead stuff" and just leave this man's shit up.

Kids who don't get those shots die RFK is recommending kids die

Once again a reminder: We can have trans rights, bodily autonomy, gender nonconformity, and freedom of expression, or we can have none of these things. There’s no third option.

Here's an example of how useless and frustrating internet laws to "protect kids" are in practice: When I'm in Ohio, where I am during the holidays, I can't use my Bluesky DMs—unless I hand over my ID to a company owned by Epic Games. Why? To protect kids, of course! spitfirenews.com/p/why-i-have...

every politician who attempts to ban gender-affirming care for trans youth is anti-science, transphobic, or some combination. prior to their votes, they should be forced onto cross-sex hormones so they can experience the horror they're inflicting on these kids juliaserano.medium.com/gender-affir...

conversely it's pretty cool that a lot of small-time browsers can now advertise themselves by simply saying "we have, in response, chosen not to hit ourselves in the dick with a hammer"

A thing to remember is that this happens a lot and the reason cops aren't better at this is that they very rarely have to be.

The full House of Representatives will vote this week on the most extreme anti-trans bill ever brought to a vote. It’ll be reported that the bill only bans care for trans minors. But it would *criminalize* the care — doctors would face up to a decade in prison.

I'm glad there's no historical precedence for this kinda thing going badly or boy I sure would be worried for myself and my community!

What this underscores is a fundamental truth that while none of the rest of us need supremacists in our spaces, and are just fine without them, supremacists need the rest of us or they collapse against each other. Without them we're fine. Without us they've got nothing.

Rob Reiner: “Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people."

My take here is the same as on cis women taking T: good for you, I hope it helps, now can you show some empathy for other ppl who need that same medication but are stigmatized for it?

I really hope all the other lawsuits against openai use the fact that they are licensing IP from disney to show that they're very much NOT licensing any other IP from everyone else

I'm starting to really believe that the only way to get a runaway success is for companies to fund like 20 new projects, 19 of them will either fail or make no impression, and then the 20th will resonate with audiences and create tons of merch opportunities like Bluey or KPop Demon Hunters

In November 1990, LIFE Magazine ran a now-legendary photograph of AIDS activist David Kirby’s last moments. Just out of frame was another eventual victim of AIDS, and the reason Therese Frare was in the room at all; Peta, a two-spirit caretaker with their own story to tell. By @piperbomb.bsky.social
