Press Conference: No "Transgender" Or "LGBTQ" Symbols Found At Kirk's Shooting Yesterday, several media outlets claimed or strongly implied that "transgender symbols" were found at the scene of the gun used by Charlie Kirk's shooter. This turned out to be false.

1. In the immediate aftermath of Charlie Kirk's shooting, the WSJ laundered claims that "transgender symbols" were found with the shooter's gun.

Now, a press conference reveals that NO such symbols were found.

WSJ owes a full retraction and apology.

Sorry but Im fucking sick of this one sided empathy; wheres the empathy for every marginalized person harmed by Kirk and his influence? He spent his life helping ruin lives. You wanna talk about empathy, ask yourself about every person he negatively effected.

mourning charlie kirk is like mourning one of hitler’s henchmen. like political violence is definitely bad, especially stuff of this nature, but that does not mean we have to feel bad for that asshole

i just realized that i could start putting my sims on my website! boy that sounds fun. neocities is very exciting

i updated my little status thingy on my neocities website twice and then realized i could probably just post things to here

YouTube video by Sarah Z The Rise and Fall of Replika

2 years ago, I made a video both about people forming deep emotional bonds with AI chatbots, and about payment processors and advertisers gradually stripping the internet of anything NSFW. You can watch it here: youtu.be/3WSKKolgL2U?...

I don't know how best to do it, I just know we need to do it.
We need to contact Visa and Mastercard directly, let them know we will not tolerate them restricting legal nsfw content and LGBTQ+ material.

We won't take this ridiculous financial censorship sitting down.

IT'S WORKING, Y'ALL!! Keep the pressure up!!

mad respect to Studio Élan for sharing this. let's not forget, many yuri games are affected by payment processor censorship. and there could one day be a future where MasterCard and Visa deem F/F & lesbian content too risky to process payments for

(above an image of Governor Tim Walz) "Shame on any of us who throws a trans child under the bus. ... That child deserves our support. Don't worry about the pollsters calling it distractions, because we need to be the party of human dignity."

"there's no path between payment processors cracking down on adult content and LGBTQ games being targeted, y'all are being dramatic" is a take I have had to read just now.

It's 2025 man. Look around. It never JUST stops at the one thing, ffs.

Controversial opinion: Mastercard shouldn't decide who's allowed on the Internet and not.

Valve just updated their Steam rules to ban content that “may violate rules set by payment processors or banks.” Sounds boring. It’s not. It’s the quiet normalization of financial censorship and it’s going to hurt LGBTQ+ games and devs

is it a faux pas to post duplicates of your social media posts on multiple platforms? I have no clue.

ChatGPT as a search engine: why it's appealing (and ultimately useless) With Google becoming increasingly difficult to use, many are turning to AI, and I'm wondering if there's merit to that idea.

Weekly Substack post!

This week I wrote about the concept of using ChatGPT as a search engine and the concept of AI search engines in general, and why our current capitalist system will most likely never allow for an actually good one.

"Know Your Protest Rights. You don't need a permit to protest in response to breaking news and you don't need a permit to march in the streets or along sidewalks, as long as you're not obstructing traffic or access to buildings. When you are lawfully present in any public space, you have the right to photograph anything in plain view, including federal buildings and the police. If you believe your rights have been violated, when you can, write down everything you remember, get contact information for witnesses, and take photographs of any injuries. If you get stopped by the police, ask if you're free to go. If they say yes, calmly walk away. If you get arrested, you have a right to ask why. Otherwise, say you wish to remain silent and ask for a lawyer immediately. Don't sign, say or agree to anything without a lawyer present. If you get stopped by a member of the military or any law enforcement office at a protest, you have the right to remain silent or to tell them that you'll only answer questions in the presence of an attorney-no matter your citizenship or immigration status.”

You have the right to remain silent, even if you’re arrested. You do not have to discuss your immigration status with anyone. If you’re arrested, you can say that you wish to remain silent until speaking with a lawyer. You have the right to refuse consent to a search. If you have valid immigration documents, you’re required to show them. Never provide fake documents. You have the right to record your interaction with immigration agents as long as you do not interfere. If you’re at home, you do not have to open the door. ICE agents may not enter unless they have a warrant signed by a judge (have them slip it under the door). If they force their way in, do not resist, but you can remain silent." Know Your Rights.

Blue text: "Protest Tips From The ACLU Organizing Team. 1. Write important phone numbers, like legal aid, on your body. 2. Identify an emergency contact and protest buddy beforehand. 3. Turn your phone on airplane mode when not in use. 4. Disable your phone's Face or Touch ID and replace with a 6-digit passcode. 5. Covering your face may help protect your privacy - but depending on where you are, you may be subject to laws that prohibit wearing a mask. Check with your local ACLU affiliate for guidance on masking. 6.Take appropriate precautions and dress comfortably." Black background with light blue ACLU logo.

🚨 We need you to call your Democratic senator ASAP if their name is on this list.

Tell your senator you will have their back if they do the right thing and vote NO on the extreme MAGA spending bill that would give Trump more power to dismantle the federal government: indivisible.org/resource/cal...

California DOE fires back against Trump's executive order:

"It does nothing"

"It is against federal law for the White House to dictate what educators can and cannot teach"

Will not comply.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

bluesky needs drafts!!!

I think the distinction between generative AI and AI-based tools that have been in use for years now is an important one to make.

Propaganda works better by presenting it in a non-political context. Audiences absorb the lies because they don't have their defenses up like they do when hearing explicitly political messages

Trump Renames Denali To Mount McKinley—Here’s What To Know The tallest peak in North America has been named Denali since 2015 when its name was officially changed under former President Barack Obama.

Mount Denali was named for the Koyukon people who are native to Alaska and have referred to the mountain with this name for centuries.

Indigenous land should be protected, not further whitewashed.

The 12 Democrats who joined Republicans to pass the Laken Riley Act:
Catherine Cortez Masto—NV
John Fetterman—PA
Ruben Gallego—AZ
Maggie Hassan—NH
Mark Kelly—AZ
Jon Ossoff—GA
Gary Peters—MI
Jackie Rosen—NV
Jeanne Shaheen—NH
Elissa Slotkin—MI
Mark Warner—VA
Raphael Warnock—GA

a key take away from reading a lot of history for me:

the people who survive hard times and eventually brutally humiliate their seemingly invincible enemies are not the people whose first response to adversity is “oh well, guess I’ll die”
