It's good to see a genuine social democrat kick the Democratic establishment's complacent ass. I can only hope for a wave of DNC leadership retirements (albeit I'm not holding my breath).

Cis people don’t have any automatic ordained right to insist that they set the parameters of our existence, and the level to which we can participate in public life.

We are quite simply a legitimate category of human experience - we are *never* going away. So might be time to start accepting that.

POSTER: I made my classic post about tech CTO’s creating the torment nexus to highlight the recklessness and poor media literacy of tech CTOs

TECH CTO: the torment nexus post is a cautionary tale about being mean to me

Sweetie, Mental illness isnt like a cut or a broken bone, it doesnt heal consistently, its not on a timeline....Its more like a road trip, obstacles can arise, delays, your car can break down, traffic, issues. Its okay to not be okay right now. Youre not alone on this journey, and youre loved always

US accused of plotting false-flag operation to frame Venezuela Venezuela says it has thwarted what it calls a CIA-linked plot to attack a US warship anchored in Trinidad.

“It claims the US would have blamed Venezuela for the attack on the USS Gravely, a guided-missile destroyer, to justify aggression against it.”

This seems familiar

The cover for queer magical girl novel "Magica Riot: Full Bloom," by Kara Buchanan. The text "Magica Riot" is in the upper left corner in black in a combination of fantasty/crystalline and punk script fonts, while "Full Bloom" is below it in an interwoven script font in orange, red, and purple. The artwork depicts two trans girls, Iris and Bloom, laying on a bed of orange rain lilies. Iris has purple hair that fades to orange at the tips. She is wearing an orange sun dress, and is laying with her eyes closed. One hand is draped across her stomach, and the other is reaching up. Her fingertips are barely touching those of Bloom, also laying on her back and who is wearing a black corset dress, red bow, and long black gloves. She also has purple hair. Her eyes are open, and red. In her other hand, she holds a purple flower. Iris and Bloom are arranged diagonally across the page, head to head.

One year ago, you met my queer Portland rock band/magical girl squad, and their new trans member, Claire.

To be fair, yeah...youre far more locked in (the other way)

From my experience....You do both.

born to lock in (chastity belt), forced to lock in (capitalism) 😔

Of course women don't like the Cybertuck.

Los Angeles County declares state of emergency over immigration raids Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

the president using the office to punish americans that didnt vote for him should really be one of the biggest scandals in americas history

When we write or draw porn or erotica, we get banned from having a bank account and our livelihoods get seized even if we give it away for free.

When billionaires steal what we've written or drawn to churn out a slop-approximate of porn, they're allowed to charge for it.

Let me reiterate: that shit ain't real.

Newgrounds has a very helpful guide for detecting AI audio over at www.newgrounds.com/wiki/help-in... for anyone interested in catching AI-generated music. Don't rely on any service that uses AI for detection, that's just using slop to find slop and you'll get false positives/missed catches.

I think I'm succeeding.

@kallidorarho.bsky.social There are no words for how much I lost my mind getting to the end of Warhound, reading the about the author, and getting to the last line of it. I was in tears.

Warhound was absolutely astounding too, holy shit. I'm trying to get everyone I know (who would like it) to read

Studies of LLMs - lots of harm, very expensive, directly finance major corporations & the wealthy, so we MUST IMPLEMENT BUT BETTER SOMEHOW
