Last night I read a bunch of posts from women with LLM boyfriends and it made me think of this section from Computers as Theatre

It’s so cool that cities are like “pweeease only turn your AC on if you’re actively dying and don’t go below 79 🥺🤘🏻💗” while the AI nobody asked for is slurping up the power grid to make 1 image of a girl with 5 tits

oh my god

I don't think I'm ready for zoomer lingo versions of 2003 WMD discourse

Exactly. People like JD NEED you to quote-dunk to disseminate their trash. And when you do that, you're not getting off a sweet burn; you're being his volunteer street team. Good on everyone for seeing through the bullshit. We know their playbook by now, and oughta act like it.

Really feel like the NYC mayor’s race shows that there is no such thing as a progressive establishment, and there is, in fact, an anti-progressive establishment that runs all the way from Murdoch to Clinton

Absolutely disgusting that this is the way it is.

ITS ALREADY HAPPENING LMAO THEY HAD THIS LINED UP AND JUST WAITING TO POST FOR THE FIRST TIME HE ATTACKED SOME OTHER COUNTRY

we only have each other, the entire media is gonna be creaming for war coverage

what would have been possible, what could we each have made, and done, and been, if it hadn’t been taken from us by these wretched men

that literal visceral sinking feeling when you open bsky and see what's happened in the last hour

this is as good as turning the Constitution off. If this is what congressional leaders are going to do when an executive just seizes power from the legislative branch, we do not have one.

Worlds Apart 🌹✨ #art

The public was 100% ready for trans rights just a few years ago. What we’re seeing now is a massive shift in public opinion after a coordinated and expensive propaganda blitz, one that Dems happily ignored. Trans rights aren’t new. We had them for years and everything was cool.

The award was granted by a trump appointed judge who is also collecting a pay cheque for teaching the class it was written in. They are trying to forge their own society for the weakest people and subject the rest of us to it.

Alma Bowman. Learn & say her name. She was detained by ICE for 30 months. When released she worked with law enforcement as a whistleblower trying to raise awareness of forced sterilization and mistreatment of women in ICE custody. Where is she now? Back in ICE custody. The cruelty never ends.

I joke sometimes that I am fueled by rage, & that's true. But it's important that you understand that my rage is born from love. I'm angry because I love people & this world so deeply & so fervently. Rage without love burns like a puff of aerosolized gasoline. Love is the source. Guard it well.

Rich People And Pundits Really Do Not Want Zohran Mamdani to Be Mayor Allies of former NY Governor Andrew Cuomo are breaking New York City spending limits trying to make him mayor. Mamdani is still closing the gap.

I hope Zohran wins not just because it's grotesque to me that they're spending this much to elect sex pest Cuomo, but also it'll make a lot of rich assholes very mad, and that's petty but hey

Cuomo acted like a Republican, kneecapping Democrats to give Republicans power. He's garbage. Do not vote for Cuomo unless you want a Republican to run the city. Don't even rank him - leave him COMPLETELY off your ballot, friends.

Some Lancer-adjacent style scribbles when I was trying to establish some shape identity for the different manufacturers

this line is straight from the TERF handbook. nobody with half a brain takes it seriously. when i was 25, i was diagnosed with graves disease, which made me kill my own thyroid. now i have to take pills every day. I take the same number of pills now for my transition, it's not a big deal.

So is the alternative ... not treating someone? There is nothing magical about HRT. It's a daily pill. A patch. A weekly injectable medication. This logic assumes that there are not trans people, but people who become trans and that becoming trans is all downside.

i guess it really is 2002 again

This quote just makes me deeply sad. He isn’t talking about games as art, compelling stories, unforgettable experiences. It’s just “how can we keep you hooked longer.” It’s gambling

William Gaines (and Al Feldstein) literally yelled "FUCK YOU!" into the phone Charles Murphy, hung up on his ass, and ran this as-is. The Comics Code Authority had no stated rules regarding this content, but tried to block it anyway, which is all you need to know about how the CCA was implemented.

before trump was elected, I read a thread by a person on the old site where he walked through the idea of the democratic party as a business. they were putting forward hilary because it was more like a company promoting an exec to replace the CEO. same with the donor thing--it's shareholders.

What message does it send, especially to women, that the democrats will pull out all the stops to rally around a disgraced fucking rapist rather than let a socialist win a single mayoral election? I’m so tired of this shit dude

hot take but actually listening to transmascs about anti-transmasculinity is essential to understand the full picture of transphobia and is a huge rhetorical blow against anyone claiming to oppose trans people in the name of "feminism" listen to transmascs please

“Sally risked everything to make history, but telling the world about us was a risk she just couldn’t take."

The conservative movement is lying about basically every empirical "debate" of our time, from climate change to voter fraud to vaccines. Why is it so impossible for reactionary centrists to contemplate the possibility they're lying about trans healthcare too?

posting this bc if I see one more doomer take im going to kill someone with hammers

i don't think most cis people know what it's like for every fun or happy or meaningful moment you experience to be overshadowed by some tragedy affecting your fundamental personhood in some way within 48 hours on either side of it

YES and guess what? Hormones are generally dirt fucking cheap to produce and living without them is a fate far worse than needing to inject myself, a literal two minute process IF that every five days. jesus fucking christ

If you want to know a perfect example of the consequences of giving these hot-air-balloon tech CEOs no scrutiny whatsoever, watch the newest documentary on the Oceangate Titan disaster. Absolutely incredible

this isn’t crass. intranational refugees can’t all afford sf or portland or nyc. if your state claims to be a haven for huddled masses yearning to breathe free, it needs infrastructure to support them. what good is a safe state if you can’t afford to live in it & homelessness gets you jailed?🧵

Again, most of the replies to this tweet are about "actually he's still not good," but I think that misses the point. The important thing here isn't what column we sort Stephen Fry into, that's extremely internet-headed. The important thing is that this has happened and normal people will now see it

I mentioned this in the replies, but you absolutely should never leave the trail when you're hiking. Not only does it damage the environment, it's incredibly easy to get lost and die in the backcountry if you go off trail. Always use a paper map that you got from the park and a compass.
