"it might be conscious but unable to express it! You can't know." O-kay... That sounds like you are trying to argue for existence of a soul. Why have you never argued this for animals or other objects that didn't have multibillion dollar marketing campaigns?

as a girl with a PhD in natural language processing and machine learning it's actually offensive to me when you say "we don't know how LLMs work so they might be conscious" I didn't spend 10 years in mines of academia to be told ignorance is morally equal knowledge. We know exactly how LLMs work.

you heard about dark woke now get ready for

werewolf: [rampages in wolf form] people: oh no! a werewolf! werewolf: [shifts to human form] Furries: oh no! a waswolf!

the problem with mechsploitation is that if you turn a girl into a dog that's also an ace pilot you've just succeeded in creating Snoopy

I don't know where this revisionism has come from about the suffragettes - people saying "if the suffragettes were around today, they'd be considered terrorists." The suffragettes were arrested and tortured, sexually assaulted and beaten by the state. They *were* considered terrorists!

Can you feel them?

“don’t be bigoted towards AI.” your AI data centers are poisoning Black communities as we speak, please get some fucking perspective. jesus christ

And, like, you can just ask to check 😜

Looking at mini skirts like "why shouldn't everyone know what colour my panties are every day?"

I swear my vagina is a fucking cryptid, the way I can't get a non-blurry picture to send to the doc lol

Whoopsie, accidental butch

works even better if you've got a good grip on my neck while you do it

I laud Gen Z for having the stones not to put up with the shit that prior generations passed down. We shouldn't be working nearly as much as we are and the pundits are saying "Nooo haha three jobs, eighty hours a week, doooo ittttt." Fuck that noise, I'm with the kids.

I'm fucking dying at this

I love how Elric has become a sort of shibboleth among fantasy artists and sword & sorcery fans it's neat to see the influence of Moorcock in art, animation, film, and every single video game with a creepy meat level art credit: Nycteris

It'll never be lost on me that a particular subset of the liberal commentariat in both North America and Western Europe were deeply infatuated with this woman up until the very moment she decided to talk about that one issue you're still basically not allowed to talk about lol.

True meaning of Transness

The furry community doesn't treat Furry Life Online as a cautionary tale enough

And yeah that weird ass chart about how "the less vertical a character's spine is, the less you're allowed to have nsfw of them"? It was basically made fucking rule, that's how they definied "feral nsfw" Moral of the story is, puritanical idiots shouldn't have any voice in our community.

locktober? is this a month for locking in and getting stuff done that you’ve procrastina- oh good heavens

I do not want to face the brewers... Holy Shit ⚾️

i think i would prefer it if bluesky leadership was honest with how much they loathe having a large social media app that they never wanted, spun it off into separate company, and then went back off to Protocol Land where they never have to think about the opinions of plebeians ever again.

Other scholars maintain ergot in the grain or impurities in the water contributed to mass hysteria – mostly because they can’t wrap their heads around how so many people would suddenly & fervently adopt violent delusions about their neighbors But I think this moment shows exactly how that happens

I did my undergrad thesis on the European witchcraze, and a key motivator in accusations and arrests was to seize the property of the accused Stoking the moral panic to continue the arrests was very profitable for those in positions of authority. I say this for no reason …

someone on tumblr asked if it was possible to draw an even fluffier bunny driving a little wind-up car, and i am delighted to confirm that it is indeed possible. it's probably pretty hard to find the wind-up key under all of that tho

ICE reportedly opened fire on rapid responders on the southwest side this afternoon. There are *very few* details on this available at this time. Treat all rumors with caution until verified. This Sun-Times article cites a DHS statement that should be treated, as always, with extreme skepticism:

FUCK ICE

I can't spell #mechtober #battletech #blimpart

I believe Banjo and Kazooie are in love in a really normal way

Hey everyone! As many of you know Icey the fox broke a bone fursuiting a few months ago. We took her to the ER and shes made a full recovery, but without insurance its a hard bill for her to cover without help. Any donations and shares appreciate!! gofund.me/22b8d0acf

it's against the terms of service to not be jesse singal's friend. it's against the terms of service to tell jesse singal no if he asks you for nudes. you might be hiding something. we all owe each other transparency, but we all especially owe jesse singal transparency

Burger Becky, a trans elder in game development, was recently diagnosed with cancer. When she sets up the inevitable fundraiser to help pay for treatment i hope people will consider giving.

Being trans in the year of our genocide 2025 is having to keep track of numerous extremely well-funded, multinational hate groups with anodyne names like "Women defending Women Freedom Liberty Women!" whose sole existence is to facilitate your eradication.

They closed down that Hyundai plant b/c a white woman told a lie.

It's that time of year again...Cinnamon bun day!

Kobold facts: when visiting dragon-royalty, kobolds obsess over their appearance—fortunately up to 12 standard sized kobolds can fit into a washing machine for maximum cleansing efficiency. (Kobolds like Big Roy just get hosed down outside.)

Thugs.

I've heard a bunch of my dearest friends' legal names many times before (because of restaurant orders/reservations), but they refuse to stay in my head. Don't worry, Timothy, you'll always simply be Sparkledog69 to me.
