GREEN: Ugh, therians are so weird tbh

BLUE: This again? Okay,  HUMAN. That's a perfectly human opinion you can keep to yourself.

GREEN: Wait, why are you calling me that?

BLUE: That's what you are, right? just a regular human? A human with a dog fursona? Homo Sapiens?

GREEN: Well yeah, but... It feels kinda weird to hear it said like that? Like, I'd much  rather be addressed as my sona. It's the real me, you know? If I could turn into my sona, I would in a heartbeat.

BLUE: It makes you happy  when people identify you as a dog? as your true self?

GREEN: ...yeah.

BLUE: Sounds pretty fucking therian to me.

GREEN: Wait... huh? Was I... All along?!

BLUE: Careful not to mock your own kind, pup.

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

Hey yall this is your chance to show the trans community you really are an ally and you're not just saying it for brownie points!!

-Do not support ANY of this
-JK Rowling has said on numerous occasions that her income goes DIRECTLY into anti-trans legislation in the UK
-Seriously. NONE. Of it.

Every billionaire in the Epstein files could drop dead tomorrow and the world would not only be fine, it would actually improve. The quality of our media would improve. Our environment. Our food. Our health care. Our technology.

The epic handshake meme. One arm is labeled “the President of the United States” and the other labeled as “a twink in a pup hood.”  They are shaking hands labeled “I want to be a good boy”

The political effects of X's feed algorithm

Feed algorithms are widely suspected to influence political attitudes. However, previous evidence from switching off the algorithm on Meta platforms found no political effects'. Here we present results from a 2023 field experiment on Elon Musk's platform X shedding light on this puzzle. We assigned active US-based users randomly to either an algorithmic or a chronological feed for 7 weeks, measuring political attitudes and online behaviour. Switching from a chronological to an algorithmic feed increased engagement and shifted political opinion towards more conservative positions, particularly regarding policy priorities, perceptions of criminal investigations into Donald Trump and views on the war in Ukraine. In contrast, switching from the algorithmic to the chronological feed had no comparable effects.
Neither switching the algorithm on nor switching it off significantly affected affective polarization or self-reported partisanship. To investigate the mechanism, we analysed users' feed content and behaviour. We found that the algorithm promotes conservative content and demotes posts by traditional media. Exposure to algorithmic content leads users to follow conservative political activist accounts, which they continue to follow even after switching off the algorithm, helping explain the asymmetry in effects. These results suggest that initial exposure to X's algorithm has persistent effects on users' current political attitudes and account-following behaviour, even in the absence of a detectable effect on partisanship.

A new paper shows that less than 2 months of exposure to Twitter’s algorithmic feed significantly shifts people’s political views to the right.

Moving from chronological feed to the algorithmic feed also increases engagement.

This is one of the most concerning papers I’ve read in awhile.

I always thought the whole "they want you dead" thing was just hyperbole. But I guess this makes the entire raw milk, no vax, more asbestos stuff make a lot more sense.

"We owe conspiracy theorists a huge apology"

No we fucking don't. They were talking about a secret conspiracy of gay trans Jewish lizard people. The Epstein files uncovered a conspiracy of rich, straight, white, right-wing Christian men, which these motherfuckers never even considered.

Guys. The people raping the kids created and disseminated QAnon because they knew it would come out and they were trying to control the story. Very common PR tactic. It was Bannon and his creepy crew doing a/b testing on 4chan and 8chan

My usage never got bad enough to render me homeless or onto food stamps, but speaking as a recovered addict, I would rather every addict eat than a single cent go to anything else. Every imaginable problem but indigestion is less bad when you're fed. Starving always makes everything worse.

It has replaced the skin of her own face, but can reshape itself down to serve as skin if she wants to show her old face, but if she peeled back the visor, you'd see duranium bone and some facial musculature, and her actual primary eyes looking at you
