Post Brianna Wu O Subscribe Trans sisters. I'm pretty sure I was wrong. I an somy. I genuinely thought that as a trans woman, if ceded some points with the gender critical crowd we could have a healthier conversation and arrive at better public policy. The problem is, they are getting crazier and more extreme. If you admit "trans women don't belong in women's sports" they agree, but call you a man the whole time. If you admit, "I understand I am a biological man, but this is how I want to live my life and talking about me like this is degrading" they scream about free speech. If you admit that hurtful language is part of free speech but you don't have to associate with people that degrade you, they act like the victim and call you a man and then say you should be thrown in an insane asylum. It's like this on everything. They are incapable of looking for a middle ground on bathrooms. They want maximalist policies on everything. They'd throw a fully transitioned, fully passing trans woman in male prison genpop and laugh as she got aids from being raped. I want a middle ground on so many of these polices. BUT THE FUNDAMENTAL PROBLEM IS THEY DO NOT. They enjoy degrading us, it's fun for them. So, sisters. I genuinely don't know what to do. I think many of our most extreme ideas are bad. But theirs are worse. So if I have to pick, I choose us. I wish there were a political vehicle for compromise and medical safeguarding. But that just simply does not exist.

Go fuck yourself

I still say Battleshots has the potential to turn very bad very quickly.

Unexpectedly good politics from Thomas Kinkade's family! www.kinkadefamilyfoundation.org

"People without AI glasses will be disadvantaged in the future," declares tech dude who burned the GDP of a small nation on upgraded Wii characters.

I think we'll be ok.

I worked in animation for nearly a decade and I will say this.
Absolutely the fuck not. This is anti art bullshit attempting to crash the most purified form of visual storytelling there is.
This is the shit that happens when you dont allow animators and animation writers to properly unionize

Banner day for hate mail. I don't reply, but:
Yes, I read your story. No, I'm not changing my position on "AI" submissions. Yes, I use quotes around "AI" to show a lack of respect. No, I really don't care who your father is, how much money you make, how many copies of your book your mom bought...

Scientists Say New Government Climate Report Twists Their Work A new Department of Energy report “fundamentally misrepresents” climate research and leaves out key context, multiple scientists cited in the report tell WIRED.

NEW: i spoke to nine (!) scientists across several disciplines whose work was cited in the new Department of Energy report that downplays the severity of climate change. all of them say their work was misrepresented, cherry picked, and/or lacked context —

Motherfucking wind farms…

“There is no threat for tsunami impacts in North Dakota. If you are in a coastal area under threat however check tsunami.gov for up to date information and with local officials for any evacuation orders”

National Weather Service Grand Forks explaining there’s no threat for tsunami impacts in North Dakota, a landlocked state

This was the Tsunami update I needed.

tsu = harbor

nami = wave

tsunami = harbor wave

Incidentally, it’s never bad media literacy to ask yourself about the rhetorical situation of utterances, especially by content creators:

- why does this need to be said?
- why in this form?
- why by this person?
- why to this audience?
- why in this moment?
- for what purpose?

Specific to this, I understand people were asked for "dirt" on specific people. If you've got messages that speak to that, screen shot that shit now.

Additionally, one of the posts Trump amplified from one of these QAnon accounts appears to have a line that appeared in multiple Q posts.

The Epstein Files must be *bad* bad if Trump is trying to resurrect QAnon

if your use of paypal is primarily as a customer or otherwise are NOT somebody that makes a living off adult work, you are the best people to pressure paypal! there is a risk of retaliation for adult creators, but if you don't have that risk, please call!

I feel like an important part of being a kid is learning how to lie to authority figures effectively, and while this does help teach certain life lessons early and often, it seems to be counterproductive to other goals.

If you're desperate to only ever experience comforting media then you don't want art, you want a literary gated community.

Spotify Is Forcing Users to Undergo Face Scanning to Access Explicit Content Submit to biometric face scanning or risk your account being deleted, Spotify says, following the enactment of the UK's Online Safety Act.

Spotify is now instituting face scans and ID checks ... to listen to music.

Porn was only ever the excuse. The only thing that surprises me is how quickly the government surveillance mandate has spread to absolutely every service we use.
