No hierarchical body, especially not those controlling the sole means many have to pay their bills and stay alive, should have control over what media people produce and why. Unequivocally, no one is harmed by the production of fictional content involving taboo topics. No one should censor it.

Israel is clearly and obviously killing people who are documenting their genocide and if you think that’s okay I think you may be a bit conflicted

The genocidal Israeli war machine just assassinated one of the bravest and best journalists in the world while he and colleagues were in a tent in Gaza.

around the time the public image of us stopped being sex workers that couldn't afford to say no and started being a minority agitating for civil rights.

Jonathan Greenblatt is not the emperor of Jews.

Every time Greenblatt does something like this, I report it to the ADL as an anti-Semitic incident

What happened to modern music? When *I* was young, songs were about real topics, like lists of which animals live on farms.

I don't even remember possible issue in 2018 this was about (nor do I care, chances are he was right and I've moved on) but I bet it wasn't "Stalin and/or Mao did nothing wrong" 🤷‍♂️

*(why is there so much weird crossover with this, the "Let Putin have Ukraine" goons AND the SnyderCult kids?)

...will sound like an out-of-touch spoilsport.

Trust me, I'm right about thus. This is the MOST unifying 'GenZ to Boomers handshake meme!' a Dem running in 2028 could do:

"Vote for me, get YOUR White House back! Rose garden? Back. Gold bullsh--? Gone. Trump ballroom? Canceled."

Easy win for first Democrat primary candidate who makes "We're gonna get ALL this tacky sh-- out of there!" an actual campaign pledge - both because normie voters do in fact LOVE 'apolitical' performative theatrics and because any opponent who tries to question it ("No must focus ISSUES waaah!")...

Every genAI article that mentions Yudkowsky as an AI researcher could mention that he built a cult out of harry potter fanfic full of people like this, and that this cult has literally already killed people in the pursuit of appeasing an all powerful robot god.

Seems like that's important context.

So why all the effort to block their release if it's all left wing people. Shouldn't be a problem then.

This bill would criminalize pornography by legally redefining what it means to be obscene.

Period. Full stop. No more porn legally. If you post porn whether free pics or paid vids. this affects you!

The anti-trans weirdos have rich friends. It’s that simple. They go to dinner parties with newspaper editors, their every complaint is amplified by trad media and social media run by ppl who hate us, and their legal cases are paid for by Mrs Big Bucks. That’s how they gained so much ground.

Fun Fact: Statistically, only 5% of American Christians go to Church every Sunday, none of these building owners have to pay taxes, and they're built on stolen land.

"AI" could never come up something as perfect as Psycho Goreman.

anyway,

My best friend and I were chatting about dudes who were so bad even the other people of their time were like “wtf, no.”

Jefferson in particular. While he was avoiding the Revolutionary War, French people were like “pardonne-moi, Monsieur— you wrote this whole Declaration and yet you keep slaves?”

I suspect I don't want to know

and yet will not look away

I've said "hyperscrutiny and surveillance are not a privilege" enough times.

I am now saying you are fundamentally soulless, selfish, and unable to see past your own pain to the point that you actually call the abuse we face a gift.

This makes you a freak and a monster.

Hitler is *the* iconic dictator for two reasons:

He was more destructive than any tyrant before him.

He finally got what he deserved.

Both of those things make him a unicorn. Especially the latter.

Closer to home, Silvio Berlusconi died a free man and the third wealthiest man in Italy, was the longest serving prime minister in postwar Italian history, and likely only prevented from a fourth term as PM by his blessed death from leukemia at age 86.

Robert Mugabe died peacefully in bed at age 95, having run Zimbabwe more or less continuously and without serious challenge for nearly 40 years, a fact that I occasionally contemplate while staring into the void.

There’s a lot of ruin in a nation, to coin a phrase.

the man who wrote the book about the holocaust so insensitive and full of ahistorical misery porn that the auschwitz museum officially releases a statement to discourage anyone from using it as an educational resource?

THAT GUY???

wait wait wait hang on one second hold up

the guy who got longlisted for the Polari prize despite being a raging terf who said he was a terf *a month ago*

THAT'S who the polari prize have decided to burn their entire reputation for?

Oh my fucking dog I love women and I love being a dyke

no one uses the phrase “cathedral of liberalism” without being completely gone on yarvin/valley brainworms
