Not lost on me that a piece ostensibly about rising antisemitism in the Democratic Party focuses almost entirely on Zohran Mamdani, Uncommitted, AOC and Mejia and not, like, the guy with the Nazi tattoo.

we need to stop trying to tolerate and get on with the puritans in the fandom. they ARE nazis, they WILL destroy the furry fandom. they are the burned furs and we cannot tolerate them just like we didn't tolerate them the first time. isolate these fuckers, deny them comms, whatever it takes

I know zippo about Texas politics and have no dog in the fight. But. We gotta reset this shit and stonewalling the Epstein Class media hacks is always a strong move. These people aren't your friends. They think they're kingmakers. They're losers.

I’m a high school teacher in Chicago. The most important work I’m doing right now is about building sufficiently strong relationships with 17-18 year old boys, so that they’ll believe me when I tell them that gambling on their phone could destroy their lives.

Imagine you have two machines. One you can open up and examine all of its workings, and if you give it every picture of a cat on the whole internet, it can reliably distinguish cats trom non-cats. The other is a black box and it can also reliably distinguish cats from non-cats if you give it half a dozen pictures of cats, some apple sauce, and a hug. These machines sort of do the same thing, but even without knowing how the second one works 1 am extremely confident in saying it doesn't work the same way as the first one.

U.S. Catholic Bishops Launch Attack on Trans Healthcare; It’s Time To Fight Back While headlines were giving the Catholic church hierarchy plaudits for symbolic gestures in support of immigrants and a papal lunch with trans people, American bishops passed a major ban on trans heal...

Before praising the current papacy, remember that late last year the Catholic Church imposed one of the most sweeping bans on trans healthcare yet, cutting off life-saving care throughout its sprawling U.S. hospital networks:

For what it's worth this thread isn't a call for better policing as the solution. The point is that policing by design can't choose sides and instead enforces a type of order that is thoroughly exploitable by the far right, like a lot of liberal democratic institutions have proven to be.

Despite how excellent the news may seem, do not get comfortable just yet

One key word to take this away from; "Halted," which means, the Age Verification junk is very much alive and there's a possibility they'll be trying this again

Keep the pressure going, do not let them get away with this

Acting ethically in an imperfect world Life is complicated. Regardless of what your beliefs or politics or ethics are, the way that we set up our society and economy will often force you to act against them: You might not want to fly somew...

I was disappointed to read Cory Doctorow's post where he got weirdly defensive about his LLM use and started arguing with an imaginary foe.

A few further comments, 🧵>>

Idk, I've seen some videos where Furries are asked if they identify as animals and they all go "nooooo" as if it's a stupid question but the proper answer to the question is "why do you care?"

One side of the coin is that a lawmaker is saying that educating himself made him change his mind on an issue. (Which, good!)

The other side of the coin is that he's admitting that he authored, sponsored, filed a bill while having evidently spent no time doing reading or research about the topic.

one of the most sure-fire signs that someone is on team anti-trans (even if they don't explicitly state their own position) is when they go out of their way to defend ppl who misgender & express irrational anger toward trans folks. they give *them* the benefit of doubt, but not us

Edsall asked me to quote but mine weren’t included so I’ll poast my response here.

Turnout matters, but isn’t mentioned in the piece. It’s not the same group of voters.

Also see @hakeemjefferson.bsky.social on how black and white people define “I identify as conservative” differently

the modern version of having a disease named after you (except funnier)

Actually the Luddite movement wasn't a blanket rejection of all technological advancements but fought specifically against automation that harmed workers for the sake of convenience. So when you think about it, it aligns almost perfectly with the modern day fight against AI, and maybe we should rec-

The "I'd vote for [EVIL FIGURE] if they ran as a D" is so popular with this crowd because they don't want better things or the power to make things better. They just want to endlessly critique the idea that better things are possible.

Stop demanding people hope for less. A modest proposal.

"AI detectors" are themselves AI, and yet are endlessly trusted by people on here if they say that a newspaper article is AI.

AI detectors are snake oil. None of them reliably works. And UK broadsheet are not yet using AI to write articles. No, that link to the deal you found doesn't prove it.

same for the "no trans women in women's sports" people, for whom sports is just a stepping stone to more transphobia

The article doesnt actually mention them "distancing" themselves from Palantir, only that prompts to give your ID to Persona were "a test, which has concluded"

Abolition, Amnesty, Decriminalization, Open Borders You may not believe immigration restrictions are racist, but racists believe immigration restrictions are racist.

“We must abolish ICE and the entire DHS. We must proclaim a general amnesty to all undocumented immigrants currently residing in America. We must decriminalize unauthorized immigration. And we must enshrine freedom of movement in the constitution.” www.liberalcurrents.com/abolition-am...

Singapore 2025 election speculation: did the PAP believe in Feb 2025 that it was going to lose vote share, leading them to defensively gerrymander the west side

feral discourse going around allegedly in this day and age. who gives a shit. puritans are taking away your rights and molesting children and doing who knows what to animals, porn is not the enemy and never has been, and it took me too long to realize that but its never too late to learn better.

there's a confirmed pedophile ring that runs the world and wants to destroy all queer people as a smokescreen so they can continue trafficking abusing and killing children so today i will litigate to other queer people whether or not i think they jerk off to the correct drawings of fantasy creatures

Since I already had to ruin my NICE and NEAT two post thread I do wanna add another point:

Yea it's not just about NSFW. It's a greater goal of suppressing LGBTQ+. Fight this.

But. If it WAS just about NSFW. I would hold the same position. It's valid all on its own. I STAND ! WITH ! THE FREAKS !
