I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

I mean criminal organ trafficking exists, technically.

Let's all remember what happens with prohibition, again: if you don't legalize and regulate (including informed consent for surrogates on what the risk can be!) it's just gonna go underground, kill more people and make it easier for exploiters.

I posted about this the other day, but just got around to playing it this evening.

A very dark, but sadly familiar, story that explores themes of misogyny, and parasocial relationships.

Definitely check it out (after viewing the content warnings), and support the developer. These stories matter.

Notably, what is being referenced here is Littman's discredited research, where she recruited from forums on websites that were opposed to transgender people, such as "transgender trend."

Holy shit it was written by AI. Bet your ass it was.

I'm tripping over the part that says, on page 41, "In the first half of the 20th Century, there were few recorded instances of transsexuals"...

BECAUSE THE NAZIS BURNED THE INSTITUTE THAT STUDIED THE SUBJECT. They leave out that part of course.

AAP immediately rejects the HHS report:

Hey All: Google is pulling the "automatically on for anyone over 18" bullshit with Gemini that the Dropbox did for its AI, but I can't afford to ditch Google Drive/Docs/Workspace.

Does this possibly link into the identified conjunction of Trump admin and Thiel/Musk terror-accelerationism, to the Michael Vassar/MetaMed link, to Ziz and Zizian accelerationism? Information to follow

🧵 THREAD: A federal whistleblower just dropped one of the most disturbing cybersecurity disclosures I’ve ever read.

He's saying DOGE came in, data went out, and Russians started attempting logins with new valid DOGE passwords

Media's coverage wasn't detailed enough so I dug into his testimony:

Make sure the less fun part of kittencare is included! (they need their butts wiped to stimulate defecating, as they can't do it on their own until IIRC 2 weeks in-- it's been a WHILE since I had to care for a tiny meowmeow so I'm not sure exactly what developmental step you're looking for)

Lori Beth Denberg reprised her All That librarian character to do a pro-library, anti-book banning reel and I love it so much??? www.instagram.com/reel/DIK0_bD...

This better receive a lot of attention during this election. This guy is poison, and Cons better be made to answer for having him as their candidate.

In large white text it reads find or start a community fridge and after the word fridge there are two red hands grasping each others wrists. In smaller text below reads if they won’t take care of us we’ll do it ourselves. The top right corner has a large drawing of a grey fridge.

To take care of our communities, we need to contribute to and build resources like community fridges.

🔑 under-discussed point — why they were on signal:

Goldberg said the level of detail in the targeting package that he received via Signal was down to the *names of individuals* to be killed.

That’s the good stuff that includes all kinds of sources and methods and never should have been outside a SCIF.

I’d be in prison if I fucked up that bad.

Young folk, did you know that the ACA got rid of something called Pre-Existing Conditions? Before the ACA, insurance companies could deny care or coverage because you had any number of conditions (even unrelated ones to what you needed care for), including simply being pregnant!

Thanks Obama!

You might be in a car-centric city if: The museums don’t offer lockers or coat check because they assume you drove there and can just leave your stuff in your car.

(This is a subtweet of the otherwise-very cool Science Museum of Virginia in the former Richmond Union Station.)

Hegseth texting about maintaining “100% OPSEC” in a group chat about top-secret ops that included a guy without clearance has sent me so high into the stratosphere I can see the curvature of the earth

2016 Hegseth would be calling for the impeachment and imprisonment of 2025 Hegseth.

Bit weird how pushback against ill-informed or biased views is seen as more of an issue than aggressively right-wing agitators feeling vindicated and emboldened. Bit strange that so many people seem more comfortable with creeping fascism than with being asked to be decent about vulnerable groups.

Columbia Student Hunted by ICE Sues to Prevent Deportation Yunseo Chung, a legal permanent resident who has lived in the U.S. since she was 7, participated in pro-Palestinian demonstrations. Immigration agents visited residences looking for her.

The Trump administration is trying to deport a legal permanent resident who has been in the US since she was 7 simply for disagreeing with Trump's foreign policy.

This is the first of what I think are going to be A LOT of primary challenges along these lines.

Do you seriously think that they weren't already being targetted by Russia?

FROM THE ARTICLE, it says they had to move from physical books to digital ones because the physical ones already got targetted.

Also love how you're ignoring the second half where it talks about Russia kidnapping kids.

If you knew anything about resistance cultures (or read the article, or were even in touch with how Russia's ALREADY doing a bunch of censorship shit) you'd know that hidden/shadow libraries aren't a new deal and this bit of spotlight isn't making them any less or more safe.
