Amazon’s Ring to partner with Flock, a network of AI cameras used by ICE, feds, and police Agencies that use Flock can request that Ring doorbell users share footage to help with "evidence collection and investigative work."

If you see "attacking publication of obscene material" and "pushing sexuality onto a centralized, regulable platform" as two separate causes with irreconcilable differences, your framing is wrong

I really believe generative AI is a cognitohazard to an entire column of humanity. I don't know, there's a something it fucking does to people that displaces their own entirely-capable cognition and independence, further they seemingly cannot perceive the deficits of. This is not a moral argument.

You might see several artists mad about the bluesky policy update banning non-con, even artists who do not make that kind of material, and wonder why it's such a problem. If that's you, here is a quick breakdown:

🧵

Do NOT believe the misinfo going around

There absolutely have been MASSIVE TOS updates

Most notably:

1) Specifying no FICTIONAL noncon
2) No "dangerous" kink
3) No DISCUSSING self harm, suicide, or substance abuse unless its "educational"

So what can we DO about it?

Stop payment processors from censoring games!

Anyway, these policies and guidelines are following pay processors demands 'cause we know BlueSky will need to implement sources of income sooner than later, and they're bending the knee to Visa and Mastercard to comply.
So keep pressuring paypros!

I left a 1 star review on the app store explaining how disappointed i was with their updated adult content policy.

I highly recommend doing so yourself too!

Writer D. L. Mayfield’s advice for resisting fascism.

From D. L. Mayfield:

Batman slapping Robin meme with the caption, an "18+" sign being over Batman's face while Bluesky's logo is over Robin's. Robin as Bluesky: "No discussing self-harm, suicide, abuse (sexual, drugs, substance, etc.) unless it's educational—!!!" Batman as 18+ creators (or non-professionals in general): "Artists are not teachers or therapists. We are not obligated to teach you anything."

Apparently a lot of ppl needs to hear this

thoughts on rodiclair? — I think it's one of those ships that starts out as fun teasing but eventually peels back to the darker underlayer of tetratto.com/post/2278737...

What ends up making Swap Grete maturing as the story progresses? — It's a mix of things. But mostly, I think it's that she's able to explore the world beyond her home. Her whole world tetratto.com/post/2278743...

A source familiar with internal workings at MasterCard notes the company is paying attention to calls around the payment processor issue. These calls continue to make the company uncomfortable internally

Meme from Parks and Recreation of Ron handing a paper to an officer and saying “Not to worry. I have a permit.” Followed by a closeup image of the paper being held by the officer, edited to read: “Every fictional character I’ve drawn and will draw having sex, has consented to being drawn that way. They told me themselves.”

Anyway, here’s your form of consent, Bluesky.

I am mad.

Even if they didn't listen to the feedback, please keep posting your stuff here.

You art is powerful and inspires many. It might never please everybody, even so, don't be stopped, don't be censored.

Post and post and post, I want to see all creativity here.

All of it.

SFW.
NSFW.

Sinner Gretchen is a Rei Ayanami and Sinner Penelope is an Anthy Himemiya to me

I think I can add to those comparisons now by saying Sinner Yuzuki is a Laura Palmer

"The left can't meme"

(Leftist comes up with a joke more original and funny than the same 5 right-wing memes on rotation for the month)

"THE LEFT ARE FULL OF HATE! CANCEL THEM!"

remember when comedy used to be completely legal but rightwingers started a full on assault on the entire US media apparatus to “legalize comedy”

“You used to be able to say anything” comedians never been more quiet in their lives

I wish I was kidding.

Like its absolutely clear this isnt like cases where thhe public got mad and someone geets canceled, its is a cancellation that the government wants

This is literally a 1984 kind of shit the “free speech” warriors said they didnt want yet they wont comment on it

unfortunately the only footage they could find of charlie kirk not saying evil things was when a pint of blood was gushing out of his neck like a fountain

Listen it has become very clear that when he does die we need to be fucking mean about it. Even if you keep the kid gloves on they'll still come for you for speaking, so get that banter ready. Make them cry.

257. The Commission recommends that all Member States: (a) Employ all means reasonably available to them to prevent the commission of genocide in the Gaza Strip; (b) Cease the transfer of arms and other equipment or items, including jet fuel, to the State of Israel or third States where there is reason to suspect their use in military operations that have involved or could involve the commission of genocide; (c) Ensure individuals and corporations in their territories and within their jurisdiction are not involved in the commission of genocide, aiding and assisting the commission of genocide or incitement to commit genocide and investigate and prosecute those who may be implicated in these crimes under international law; (d) Facilitate the investigations and domestic proceedings and take action (including imposing sanctions) against the State of Israel and against individuals or corporations that are involved in or facilitating the commission of genocide or incitement to commit genocide; (e) Cooperate with the investigation of the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court. 258. The Commission recommends that the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court: (a) Examine, within its continuing investigation in the Situation in the State of Palestine, the crime of genocide for amendment to existing arrest warrants and addition to future application for arrest warrants; (b) Examine the involvement of officials mentioned in this report for inclusion as those most responsible for international crimes committed in the occupied Palestinian territory.

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide.

As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire.

End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

Bardem has been vocal on this issue going back to at least the 2014 war when coverage was considerably more pro-Israel and also has a long history of advocacy for Sahrawi nationalism, which hardly anyone in the west even knows about
