JK Rowling pledges to keep up fight against SNP trans policies Author vows to bankroll campaigners after Scottish government fails to pay group's legal fees in Supreme Court equality case

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

Experts raise privacy concerns over Michigan bill targeting pornography and VPNs Rep. Josh Schriver, the bill’s sponsor, says the law is designed to target only producers and distributors of pornography, not everyday internet users.

Buried in Michigan's antiporn bill is a provision to effectively outlaw "circumvention tools," such as VPNs.

Mark my words: legislators will increasingly leverage porn panic to restrict or ban VPNs, and to limit internet privacy far beyond adult sites.

Somehow, I think he'll be fine - it seems like she isn't that great either. 😒

ATTENTION: I’ve obtained access to a paywalled Sweet Baby Inc. talk recorded recently. What’s inside is absolutely wild. It breaks down exactly which parts of multiple AAA games were handled by Sweet Baby Inc., how the rewrites happened, and why. It also goes into more detail about the backlash they received, how they view it, and what they claim actually happened behind the scenes. We will not air the full recording because of distribution rights and potential claims, but we are pulling every important moment for commentary, receipts, and context. @WritingRaven2 and I will go through everything live on Sunday during our show.

Heads up to the SBI people I know on here. Not sure what talk they're referring to, but expect them to use the "we cannot air the full recording" in order to maliciously clip/reframe what was said.

Make me, BlueMAGA crybaby.

So says the ableist shithead who himself just assumes anyone who criticizes his shitty opinions is American.

it should be a tell about what's happening in the media now that most mainstream commentators seem openly frustrated that polling does not blame democrats for the shutdown

"we cant uninvent ai" no we cant but we couldnt uninvent nfts either and nobody gives a fuck about them anymore

I've been wondering why Dominion Voting Systems suddenly reached settlements with Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and One America News.

Turns out, it's been purchased by a Republican-owned election tech firm that insisted on it, per Axios.

Why are all the bad things "here to stay" and all the things I love up for constant debate until they're eroded out of life altogether?

If I get extrajudicially got because I did research and writing about fascism being bad, you all need to scream from the rooftops that who they got was a mom of young kids who volunteers at a preschool.

I will haunt each and every one of you if you do not

This is the lesson of 2025

The COO of bluesky, Rose, is following the heritage foundation account on bluesky.

Which one's the smart one again? They're all uncharismatic dumb dorks.

the city of los angeles burned in january in part because of a man who couldn’t stop generating images of burning cities on ChatGPT, and then after he lit the fire he asked if the fire he started was his fault

this is how I, a resident of LA, found out that the Palisades fire was arson, that they caught the guy, and that he used gen AI to work his way up to doing the crime

Just pirate it

Fascists are desperate for violent disruption they can use an excuse for state violence and power grabs.

They have trouble with mockery, goofiness, and fun.

That holds across just about every type of authoritarianism. They like being feared for cruelty. They hate being laughed at and humiliated.

"Trans rights and other points of contention cost us the election" is a Republican talking point, full stop. Anyone repeating it is a wrecker or too dim and incurious to be trusted with any concepts more complicated than one of those chain restaurant kids' activity menus.

She'd probably get more votes than your useless centrist ass, just sayin'

Hey, who was Liz Cheney and why was she campaigning with Kamala last fall?

If any of what you said was true, Kamala would have won in 2024. You could not be more out-of-touch with the will of the people if you tried.

Shut up, BlueMAGA dork.

fuck Gavin Newsom, i’ll never vote for him under any circumstances

twice a year the entire U.S. press becomes a marketing extension of a single billionaire-owned retailer, and nobody in any position of editorial power thinks it's weird or gross

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Enjoy the impending lawsuits, @bitmapbooks.com - this is the hack you're sticking your necks out for? 🤣
