A raccoon draws with its paws on a piece of paper. It says “GENERATIVE A.I. IS PART OF AN AUTHORITARIAN CORPORATOCRATIC EFFORT TO CO-OPT AND COMMODIFY THE CREATIVE PROCESS TO RID THE END RESULT - ART- OF THAT WHICH THREATENS ITS EXISTENCE - HUMANITY -

A rabbit in overalls and a goat in pants are sitting on the ground drawing pictures. The rabbit is saying “ART POSES A THREAT TO CORPORATOLRATIC SYSTEMS BECAUSE A PURPOSE OF ART IS TO REMIND THE INDIVIDUAL OF THEIR INHERENT AUTONOMY.”, the goat adds “THEIR HUMANITY.”

Remember if you watch this show or buy this merch, no trans person will like or trust you ever again. Sorry but those are the rules.

A three panel comic. The first panel is titled “once upon a time…” and shows a person in glasses sat at a desktop computer saying “I share my creative endeavours in a blog! The internet is fun!”. The next panel is titled “present day, in which the same person is saying “… you can find me on hubbub, zoop, flaz… I left rinky-dink cuz of the Nazis… uh, I’m on borp-“. It cuts to the final panel where another person interrupts to say “oh, borp is also Nazis”, to which they reply “fuck!”

In 1983, the US invaded Grenada. The Reagan administration said this was to defend several hundred American medical students there from a recent coup. In reality, however, the Reagan administration had begun military training exercises for invading Grenada shortly after assuming office in 1981.

Walmart just became a trillion-dollar company, joining the ranks of corporate giants at the very top.

Meanwhile, some Walmart workers start as low as $14/hour, and thousands still rely on SNAP & Medicaid to get by. That gap isn’t accidental. It’s a choice about who this economy is built to reward.

Screenshot of text reading At least 10 people were injured between late 2021 and November 2025, according to the reports. Most allegedly involved errors in which the TruDi Navigation System misinformed surgeons about the location of their instruments while they were using them inside patients’ heads during operations. Cerebrospinal fluid reportedly leaked from one patient’s nose. In another reported case, a surgeon mistakenly punctured the base of a patient’s skull. In two other cases, patients each allegedly suffered strokes after a major artery was accidentally injured.

Screenshot of text reading In May 2023, Dean was using TruDi in another sinuplasty operation when patient Donna Fernihough’s carotid artery allegedly “blew.” Blood “was spraying all over” – even landing on an Acclarent representative who was observing the surgery, according to a lawsuit Fernihough filed in U.S. District Court in Fort Worth against Acclarent and several manufacturers. One of Fernihough’s carotid arteries was damaged. She suffered a stroke the day of the surgery, according to her suit. Acclarent “knew or should have known that the purported artificial intelligence caused or exacerbated the tendency of the integrated navigation system product to be inconsistent, inaccurate, and unreliable,” the suit alleges.

Screenshot of text reading The FDA requires clinical trials for new drugs, but medical devices face different screening. Most AI-enabled devices coming to market aren’t required to be tested on patients, according to FDA rules. Instead, makers satisfy FDA rules by citing previously authorized devices that had no AI-related capabilities, says Dr. Alexander Everhart, an instructor at Washington University’s medical school in St. Louis and an expert on medical device regulation.

Always a great sign for how things are going in your country when 21-year-olds are like “hey, I innovated a system to play bagpipes in tear gas”

This is true, and even if we get rid of Trump, we still have to reckon with the fact that a substantial proportion of US economic and political elites were *eager* to jump on the fascism train. They will still be the same people when Trump is gone.

Bad Bunny again. I want to see some of the worst people in the world explode

When you factor in just how many incarcerated people including children have disabilities like ADHD and autism and MI and IDs and are Black or brown or indigenous, it really becomes hard not to describe the facilities of cages they're locked in as "death camps built for genocide of undesirables"

When a sitting representative refers to the Super Bowl halftime show as “pornography,” people should use that to reflect on how they and other representatives are simultaneously working to ban, censor, and restrict “pornography” and what that actually means

The Threshold The right used to attack athletes who protested. Now they attack athletes who express feelings at all.

Amber Glenn won Olympic gold on Sunday. That same day, she left social media because of death threats. Her offense: she'd told reporters the queer community is going through "a hard time." The headline called it "backlash." www.readtpa.com/p/the-thresh...

I've been saying for years, UBI won't cause people to not work.
it will cause working people to become more passionate knowing that their needs are met, and non-working people to be able to lower their stress knowing that their needs are met.

People will take more chances and push harder to succeed, with the knowledge that if they fail there is a cushion.
Most just keep their head down because they fear losing their jobs

This is devestating.

Trans Youth Suicides Skyrocketed In UK After Care Drawdown; Government Covers It Up A Freedom of Information request to the National Child Mortality Database reveals that 22 trans children under 18 died by suicide in England in 2021-22 alone.

In an alarming development, it appears the UK Government covered up a massive spike in trans youth suicides after restrictions.

Then covered it up again when caught.

Now, after fighting for years, the data is public: trans suicide increased 5x in the country.

I've been to some countries where people live under military rule or autocracy. And without fail, one of the questions I get when they ask about life in the U.S. is whether it's true that Americans just let homeless people die on the street.

ICE to begin detaining immigrants inside Social Circle warehouse in April Homeland Security plans to build warehouse detention facilities in other cities being met with opposition.

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.

If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

In the last month ICE has bought warehouses in:

- Hagerstown, MD: $102 million
- Surprise, AZ: $70 million
- Hamburg, PA: $87 million
- Tremont, PA: $120 million
- San Antonio, TX: $82 million
- El Paso, TX: $123 million
- Social Circle, GA: price unknown

This is unprecedented.

Remember that @mikestabile.bsky.social myself, & many SWs, discussed the harm of age verification laws as written, and how they harm SWs, users, and undermine internet freedoms. This is all an effort to do large scale government surveillance.

This is incredibly funny to try because even if it *was* true, then it would mean Streeting was defending Mandleson in September for the love of the game.

agreed, i just hate how temporal and chat-like every platform is these days, because there's no money in keeping a record. the only major platform i think that does it well is... wikipedia
