They will come for all of us under the pretense and cover of protecting us from the very crimes they perpetrate in real life. Fantasy is not reality. Drawings are not worth destroying lives over. Remember the tolerance paradox.

We need to fight real bigots, zoos, & pedos - not fantasy ones.

I want to know how many of them insisted again & again on civility & respectability politics, ignoring trans people & others under greatest threat. I want to know how many will fight in Florida & Kansas & elsewhere to keep trans people safe & out of jail now. And how many stay asleep.

doge really did select hires on the basis of "too young to understand that they will likely have personal legal liability" didn't they

The Nazis are very close to the “rounding up every LGBTQ person” for being “illegal”. So, many thanks to the centrists who kept saying “both sides are the same”. This is against our civil liberties of course but there is no DoJ.

Also: I just uncovered a small network of recently-created accounts that are LLMs replying to people talking about health topics and added them to my Reply/Contact Spammers list as well as reported them, but posting so folks know to be aware since they were mostly recently created

To summarize, Trump has offered asylum to Iran’s women’s soccer team and death to its men’s.

This is a good & infuriating piece about a putrid phenomenon — one intensified by all the punditry of the last decade that rolled its eyes at feminist analysis. There’s ALWAYS been a living available to women who vibed as “not like other girls,” in every decade, especially in the media

WICKER: Sen. Gillibrand, you did not mean to say that we targeted a school?

GILLIBRAND: That missile hit a school

“wanting to be a shitty person and hanging out with other shitty people and then being surprised pikachu when they are shitty to you” really is the perfect summary of the modern right

It is already a utility that individual people were once paid to dispense. And now Atlman is stealing it from us to sell to other people. He's a parasite.

never ceases to amaze me how the modern conservative movement is full of the most pathetic, cowardly people on earth

omg

it is very much the fault of the AI bros: what you describe explains the demand. They provide this tech because as a group they seem to have a fairly constant hatred of higher education and academics, especially not in their own fields. And they fetishize cheating, shortcuts etc.

From Moscow to Washington to Jerusalem, this is a repeating story.

I’m genuinely surprised Grammarly’s lawyers approved the latest rollout, assuming they were consulted at all.

Writers whose names are used in the product without their consent should absolutely contact a lawyer. If you know other writers mentioned, you might want to pursue legal remedy together

Hereditary peers to lose their seats in the House of Lords Upper chamber accepts final draft of bill, which offers life peerages to some of those who would otherwise be removed

this makes me want to fucking SCREAM. they USED to have an extremely nice Customer of Size seating policy with a voucher for a free middle seat that was always offered to me in a kind, non-shamey way. but the worst fatphobia I've EVER experienced while flying was Southwest last summer, and now THIS?

“Universal design” means that when we design society inclusively, it benefits everyone.

The other point to remember is that everyone, if they live long enough, will become disabled. Just because you don’t need an accommodation now doesn’t mean you NEVER will.

But it means caring about wellbeing.

I giggle at the Lovecraft stories where a character is growing so insane by exposure to Cthulhu or whatever that "he's even sent his servants away"

The CW on Kennedy is that he's a smart man who pretends to be stupid. Maybe that's right. But if the senator thinks he's mocking Bier in this exchange, he's lacking some pretty basic self-awareness.

This is nuts.

There is no hope for the large conglomerates, but I really hope all the people who listened to the bullshit about how the continued flow of fossil fuels into this country was way more dependable than *checks notes* the sun rising every day take note.

Wow, im actually shocked

These 10 companies control everything you buy A small number of powerful companies create brands and products you might not know are theirs, from Unilever to Coca-Cola.

500 ways to have coffee but 10 food companies. Crazy.
