Consensual sexual pleasure is a radical, political act under fascism.

50% of all revenue in my hometown is now obligated to the police. As crime drops to historic lows, even in places with fewer cops.

They're also objectively wrong on several parts; and "biological rights" isn't a thing, it was never ever a thing.

Just an excuse to hurl bigotry around, while whining about people blocking them.

Me, just waiting for menopause, so I can stop with this whole being a woman nonsense

It really bothers me that about 50% of the population can't read or comprehend above a 6th grade level, but our lawmakers use legalese and very expensive words when writing & passing legislation

Many People who want to be informed aren't actually capable of even reading potential legislation

i am asking yet again how it is legal for a company to send me a letter saying "sorry somebody stole all your personal information from us and now they have all of your personal information. sucks to be you! bye!" and then they receive no consequences and it happens again a week later

Judging from the prose, the Pentagon appears to be using AI to announce the death of soldiers. If it’s not AI, it’s a person who simply does not care.

I would argue they knew exactly what they were doing, which was deliberately sabotaging needed public works programs by offering snake oil they never had any intention of delivering.

Iranian hackers threatening to hack into the top 3 credit bureaus and wiping Americans debt… and I just wanna know who I gotta speak to in order to expedite this.

White suburbs were created to shield white populations from the realities of the system they prop up.

This is why, among many other things, if you adopt a position anywhere to the left of Bill Clinton in suburbia you are automatically labeled a radical.

Are We in a ‘Smut Renaissance’?

Sure, we're in a "smut renaissance," but maybe you've noticed we're also in a Christian Nationalist censorship regime that is trying to restrict the internet. (Might be worth mentioning!)

These aren't unrelated. As "hardcore" is demonized and erased, social acceptance of "softcore" rises.

When critics say ai is being forced upon us because these people miss slavery, that’s not hyperbolic. AI is being used to extract your labor for no compensation, without consent and apparently even death isn’t a reason to stop.

Librarian finds ‘preposterous number’ of fake references in paper from Springer Nature journal Gunnar Ridderström/Pexels As a hospital librarian, Jessica Waite is typically successful at tracking down elusive articles for clinicians at Royal Hallamshire Hospital in England. So when a colleag…

It's genuinely shocking how quickly (some) scientists have flipped to using ai to do their literature reviews. We KNOW it's a disaster - this fairly extreme example is one of many. I'm not shocked that the journals let this stuff slip thru tho - they care only about💲

There's something terrifying about people getting excited over the idea of murdering civilians in the streets

Especially while claiming the moral high ground as "liberators" while doing it

So basically he just said the US is going to murder a bunch of civilians because they feel like it?

Those school girls and musicians from the Iranian navy were people who thought they’d be able to live.

Why is there a need for unconditional surrender if this isn't a war?

It’s Ukraine’s turn to ask if we even said “thank you”.

lmao they're going to just announce Iran has unconditionally surrendered in a few days and have the lapdog press run it from there

A new Senate report alleges that over 1,000 FEMA contracts, grants, or disaster assistance awards were delayed under Kristi Noem's watch.

Why?

Because she demanded to sign off on expenses over $100,000 — which delayed aid to victims of floods and hurricanes.

"Efficiency."

Congress Is Considering Abolishing Your Right to Be Anonymous Online The bipartisan push to remove anonymity from the internet is ushering in an era of unprecedented mass surveillance and censorship.

"Stripping anonymity from the internet would constitute one of the most sweeping rollbacks of civil rights in recent history. It would allow for unprecedented levels of mass surveillance and censorship, endangering the most marginalized members of society."
