And these people have always mattered more in a state founded on the notion of cherishing all equally. So, appropriately, the site where that ambition was declared is being monetised in the interests of the rentier class.

I'm going to be honest here, I think AI is going to do so much damage to the usable internet that even after it's inevitably crashes out, it's going to take years to disentangle from every space it's polluted, like digital asbestos it's gonna be time consuming effort and likely expensive venture.

i am simply asking the press to cover the government sending masked thugs to rip people from their crying children and shipping them to a foreign concentration camp with the same ferocity they cover a trans kid playing jv tennis in sheboygan

Back working at the Examiner after a few months' leave, and had the privilege to talk to Finbarr about his walk from Cork to Dingle, the causes he's fundraising for, and his own experiences. A good dude doing a good thing. Donation link in the article. #spéirghorm #ireland

Lads, one of the many, many reasons I'm not on Twitter anymore is so I never have to see JK Rowling's words ever again. Please, please stop screengrabbing her and posting her here. We already know. x

I took a nap, went on the laptop, half asleep took this screenshot, went back to sleep. It had 20k likes by morning. Eventually it hit 200k and now it lives as a ghost in the boomer humour industrial complex. At some point it became a pair of photographs with a bunch of red arrows drawn on it

Wow, the US Dems are trying to block a socialist from winning; just like UK Labour blocked socialists from winning; just like Syriza dropped socialists and implemented austerity; just like Irish Labour booted its socialists and under-ran consecutive elections to ensure permanent mudguard status...

The American evangelical right is absolutely shitting themselves with excitement over this. There is nothing on planet earth that they want more then a destabilized Middle East at war to trigger the rapture. This is 100% fact even though it sounds ridiculous.

It's an easy cop-out to think trans people are responsible for our own oppression, because if that was the case, it's something we could have control over and remedy. It's a lot harder to reckon with the reality that a coalition of right wing groups are spending extraordinary money opposing us.

Ultimately what the right realized is many powerful people and institutions have always hated trans people but, over the 2010s, they lost the ability to be explicit about it and thus were in need of a permission structure (women's sports! Bone density!) to hate us once again

AI is being forced into everything because VCs have failed at bedding in literally any other tech geegaw of the last 20 years. Fascists see an opportunity to erase actual independent thought - at least outside of "we need fascism to be socially tolerable, let's dress it up as a rights issue", etc

It continues to astound me just how cartoonish and performative that YouTube reactionaries are. Entirely unbelievable. Surely, all of their marks' dopamine receptors have been milked down to withered, black stalks by now. How they keep up (other than corporate conservative donors) is beyond me.

While I'm vaguely irritated: can we PLEASE talk about @limitedrungames.com taking our money for Nintendo Switch software that is among the handful of games that won't work on the new machine I just took a chunk out of my savings for? Is it too much to ask that retro gaming can just be fun again?

The latter is an actual disgrace. Race, culture, ethnicity, sexuality, gender, class, ability, neurology... we're all under the same kosh, and if "intersectionality" is too fuckin' boojee a word, here's one for ye - "an injury to one is an injury to all"!
