Why DS9 holds up so well.

It’s funny if you call PayPal or visa lines and bring this up asking why they claim “adult illustrations” is against their regulations but betting on the death of kids is totally fine. They don’t have an answer.

In fact yall should call them at least once a day with this :)

I do not like this gen AI
I do not like what it implies
I do not want it in my art
I do not think it makes you smart
I do not want it in my games
I do not like its goals and aims
I do not want it in my books
I do not like the way it looks
I do not like it, I don't care
I do not want it anywhere

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

Abolish the legal gender marker entirely. No government can be trusted to have a database of which people have changed theirs, no government has any business tracking what your gender is "supposed" to be in the first place.

It is 1981. Transition care is "new and experimental".

It is 2019. Transition care is "new and experimental."

It is 2026. Transition care is "new and experimental."

evergreen

Pink Floyd's Surround Urself With Transgender Furries is my favorite album.

I am kind of scared about how fast all of these sites are kind of just pointing the gun at you to hand over your personal information. Feels like the opposite of everything i learned about internet safety when i was in elementary school

Random, but if YouTube starts recommending you clips from a show called "Quokka's Wild Life"?

BLOCK THAT SHIT.

It may look like a cute #Bluey clone, but it's produced by Angel Studios, a branch of The Daily Wire - aka bigot central. They're trying to succeed where Chip Chilla failed to resonate.

okay you know what we're doing this

why rise of skywalker is the worst crime ever committed against cinema and the very concept of a coherent fictional universe: a thread

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.

And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

Be weird. Be a freak. Be confusing.
Transition. Change your pronouns. Take HRT.
Be a girl. Or a guy. Both. Neither. A dog. A pooltoy. Whatever you want.

Your enemies are a cadre of soulless, ontologically evil pedophiles who want to enslave us all and destroy the planet.

Epstein and a handful of billionaires singlehandedly orchestrated the decade long global propaganda campaign against trans folk because they are white supremecist eugenecists, not because an it/its genderfluid therian was cringe on the internet once.

THIS. There's a few peeps I -used- to be friends with who use genAI. Past Tense.

If you use genAI to create "art" for you, you are my enemy. Full stop. Not just because it was never -yours- in the first place, but because you actively harm one of the most important things we have left!

It’s so funny how true this is and how pissed off the founders are this happened

Discord might have cut ties but they're still planning to roll out age verification globally next month.

Continue to cancel your nitro subscriptions, if you haven't done so already. Don't boosts servers as well.

Hit them in the wallet.

Democrats think they deserve applause just because their fascism comes in decaf.

Word of Lucas, Star Wars is quite literally a Vietnam allegory, with the Empire filling the role of the Americans. Guess who the Alliance is in that context.

(But yes the space wizards are certainly a confounding variable)

The article doesnt actually mention them "distancing" themselves from Palantir, only that prompts to give your ID to Persona were "a test, which has concluded"

Continue to cancel Nitro and migrate elsewhere

The image is a meme with three panels, using a scene from a movie to humorously convey a conversation about prosecuting people associated with the Epstein files. 1. Top Panel: Shows two characters, with the left one facing the camera and the right one seen from behind. The text reads: "prosecute everyone in the Epstein files." 2. Middle Panel: Features a close-up of the right character facing the camera. The text states: "if we prosecute everyone in the Epstein files, the whole system will collapse." 3. Bottom Panel: The left character is in focus, looking at the right character, with the text: "I already said prosecute everyone in the Epstein files, you don't need to sell it to me."

I am so goddamn tired of this moralist bullshit.

I usually favour a “call ‘em in” approach, but we’ve been warning you about Newsom for a long while now, so clearly that’s not working.

If you’re already treating “Newsom or Trump/Vance” as in inevitability, you have bought into a con and are throwing trans people under the bus to actualize it.

To every cis person glazing Gavin Newsom by insisting he’s “better for trans people” when the primaries haven’t even happened yet: Fuck you.

Ignoring our warnings that Newsom is a transphobic billionaire puppet is bad enough but leveraging our struggles to defend him? Seriously, fuck you.

"We should learn to speak in a language that rich people who don't dream can't comprehend" goes so fucking hard holy shit

I feel this way about pretty much all vaccine-preventable infectious diseases. You shouldn't be allowed to dump cyanide into municipal drinking water and you shouldn't be allowed to recreationally spread viruses around shared public spaces.

Discord lied.

they’re now sending scanned IDs to persona, a third party company.

“facial scans will never leave your device” -discord lmao.

👇 this is a very good summary of all the anti-trans positions Newsom has taken:
