“AI” and fascism are both intrinsically incapable of authenticity, which is one of the main reasons why they will always (eventually) lose. I learned this decades ago in a choir. Let me tell you the story…

This elderly man showed up to support an anti-trans bill in my home state and then, because he had to wait hours to testify, he was stuck listening to queer folks rally against it By the time it was his turn to speak, he'd changed his mind Never doubt that speaking out can change hearts and minds

Scientists have just cured pancreatic cancer in some patients with personalized mRNA vaccines. Pancreatic cancer. And this Trump administration wants to throw it all away. They’re throwing away a cure for cancer.

@ ARTISTS!!! (PLEASE REPOST FOR AWARENESS) if you are unable to use glaze or nightshade for whatever reason, please protect your art by using art shield. it's a free service that takes minutes, and can run on mobile as it is browser based! artshield.io#services

If you find yourself speaking out against SAG-AFTRA as actors are on strike, you need to seriously ask yourself WHY you're doing that. No, I'm serious. Take a step back and ask yourself why you're doing that.

A good, concise refresher for anyone who doesn't understand why actors who aren't even in the union yet are refusing to work on non union games during the strike.

“It never comes up with an unexpected idea” being a positive quality to these losers tells you everything you need to know about how they view the arts

Sincerely, voice actors shouldn't learn they've been silently recast at the same time as the internet does.

Congrats, Sony. You're willfully lowering yourself to the standard of content farm slop and mobile game ads. MOBILE GAME ADS. If I wanted all of my video game characters to sound like Cortana I'd hire Jen Taylor, not the Windows 10 search engine.

AI images have an extremely distinctive and very strange distribution of spatial frequencies. They're basically made of zebra stripes at varying scales. Every dark band has a corresponding bright band of the same thickness immediately alongside it this is actually MORE noticeable at thumbnail size

Pinterest updated their terms of use and they're going to use all of the content you saved to train their AI. Go to options > your privacy rights > disable GenAI Please do it 🫠

This will not be the first economic blackout or the last. But it's a place for new people to start, and for others to continue their boycott. Eat. The. Rich.

I know not everyone can, but if you want to do something, its like, the easiest boycott ever. Just dont buy anything today.

NOAA tracks it all: ✅ Hurricanes ✅ Tornadoes ✅ Wildfires ✅ Flash floods ✅ Tsunamis ✅ Droughts ✅ Heatwaves ✅ Rising seas Cutting NOAA funding is like taking the battery out of your smoke alarm to save money—It makes absolutely no sense. ☠️🔥🌪️🌊 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Too many people out there claiming we should grow up and that video games are a waste of time. Well it's because of video games that I can bear the horrors of life, gain inspiration for my works, be a part of a community, and experience creativity unlike any other. That's why I play video games!

"We aren't simply asked to work. We are asked to give up our expertise to train the generative AI that will replace us tomorrow. We are asked to agree to what we specifically fight against. We are asked to shoot ourselves in the foot. We are asked to support AI." THIS! This is why we're on strike!

I need your help. Over the past few months I've been working a full time night shift job, but I've had to deal with either have my hours cut or not receiving full payment without any explanation. With your help I can cover my bills and actually get back to regular streams again ko-fi.com/ontarioku

NEW: I just reintroduced my We the People Amendment. It’s past time to reverse the disastrous Citizens United decision and put power back in the hands of the American people. Corporations are NOT people. Money is NOT speech. Let’s get this done. jayapal.house.gov/2025/02/13/j...

New flyer just dropped--spread the word with healthcare folks and among disabled adults. Download at link. www.disability-rights-watch.com/2025/02/12/t...

The Stonewall Inn released a response to the National Parks Service removing the word transgender from the park outside of the Inn. A great reminder that we have to look after each other

the point of this is that it is stupid as fuck. and every Republican will still vote for it. the rank stupidity is a flex, an exultation of their absolute power over the party.

This administration in a nutshell

Bluesky's head of "trust" and "safety" announced they're partnering with an organization called ROOST for, well, moderation help. And yeah, this is a bad idea. (thread)

HEADLINE: CDC posts, then deletes, data on bird flu spread between cats and people. The data which appeared fleetingly online on Wednesday, confirmed transmission in two households. It is evident the CDC is being muzzled SO let’s talk about what YOU can do to PROTECT yourself AND your pets. 🧪🧵 ⬇️

It has been 194 days since @sagaftra.org actors started striking video games. In that time, we have signed over 150 games to Interim agreements, proving that our demands are more than reasonable. But the bargaining partners still refuse to give us anything more than lip service. (cont'd)

In case you missed it when I’ve said it before: ✨fuck trump ✨fuck transphobia ✨fuck homophobia ✨fuck misogyny ✨fuck sexism ✨fuck bigotry ✨fuck nazis ✨fuck racists ✨fuck xenophobia ✨fuck the government ✨fuck the billionaires ✨fuck hateful ass people Fuck all that.

BLOG: Trump can't change the medical reality of trans by removing CDC web pages — it's like a dog barking at the Moon — Mayo clinic, John Hopkins, Cleveland Clinic etc continue to cover the truth in the USA READ HERE: robertinventor.substack.com/p/the-medica...

This goes so fucking hard dude

If you have students who are trans no you don’t. If you have students of color who may be affected by ICE no you don’t. If anyone asks you gender or racial the makeup of your class you don’t have to tell them. Protect your class and protect your students by not complying in advance. They trust you.

I am not only relieved I’m still here. I am grateful. I am glad. I am proud. And I am defiant… ✨ 🏳️‍🌈 ✨ Please hold fast — today especially. We have each other’s backs. And we have each other. That won’t change. Stay strong, stay sane, stay safe. #lgbtq #trans #mentalhealth

We’re afraid because we can be hurt. We’re vulnerable, we’re dependent, and we’re in need. Everyone is. Those who deny it will falter and their allies will turn on them. Those who accept it, and care for each other because we are all vulnerable in our own measure, are capable of so much more.

Earlier today, unconfirmed border ogre Tom Homan complained that “Know Your Rights” information was “making it very difficult” to arrest families in Chicago and elsewhere. Remember: WE HAVE RIGHTS www.aclu.org/we-have-rights

I know its not always possible, but speaking up CAN HELP bsky.app/profile/laur...

Watched David Lynch's masterclass and he's right about suffering artists. We don't make better art when we're suffering. He claims that the suffering artist is a romanticized idea and he's right. I'm sure whoever popularized this idea was someone who never made anything.

Organizing isn't just a rallying cry. Organizing results in large action through tiny, ongoing efforts to support the people around you in the way you are best equipped--emotionally, physically, financially or spiritually. To show their trust in you is well-placed and will be returned in good faith.
