i bought a used iphone two years ago bc i needed a phone quickly and ive regretted it ever since. iphones are the worst fucking things on the planet, genuinely evil devices that need to be thrown into a volcano

www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2... For what it's worth, this sort of backdoor abuse by the British government is both tyrannical, and a complete nightmare for security. I know information security professionals say this every time the government tries to backdoor cryptography.

Can we have a rule that callouts are always about risk, harm and a specific called for action, pretty please? Like, anything other than this is just an argument and that's fine, argue away. But we only get out the mulchers when it's mulch or get mulched right?

They're adapting yuri that's NOT slice of life? And the animation looks really good? That's crazy.

AI should never be used for coding. It is an active hindrance for learners and makes even experienced developer's grasp of languages degenerate in direct proportion to how much they use it.

Trans women are criticised for performing femininity too well and/or for not performing it well enough. Because we're women.

Where are all the 'anti-imperialists' now.

This is exactly the same misplaced "balance" the BBC applies to trans issues and racism so tbh maybe you should be a BBC basher more often

URGENT. Morrigan is a Turkish trans woman who needs to get out of her home country, as her home country is rolling out policies that will outlaw being trans, queer, or otherwise 'sex-defying'. Her home situation is NOT safe either. Anything will help, thank you. ko-fi.com/morrithemad

This time I will be the one to be first to repost my post from tumblr to another website

Me, to friends, painfully: Want to go see [gritting teeth] gundam cucks

ahhhhh kill me already my country has decided now that if you ever take hormones, or get body altering "trans" surgeries you will be jailed, if you are seen wearing "sex-defying" clothing, if you ask to be called a name that "doesnt fit your assigned sex", you will be jailed

"oh but what about sex offenders pretending to be trans" dipshit, how do we handle sex offenders generally right now? Do you think there's anything requiring special consideration here??

The selection mechanism for the voices that get to talk on behalf of the trans community doesn't select based on knowledge and ability to make sense of our plight Rather it selects on the basis of class and the ability of the speaker not to embarrass political authority too much.

Madoka Magica is so good

If you're in the tech industry in the UK consider joining UTAW utaw.tech

Legitimately the stupidest man alive I cannot fucking STAND this shit

I suspect this is a HUGELY underestimated factor in radicalization. If you look at, say, QAnon boards, it’s not really folks looking for scapegoats for their dire material circumstances. It’s middle-class people with boring lives who want to imagine they’re in The Parallax View.

tbh I'm surprised they still let bill maher out in public instead of putting him down like old yeller. like this is the luminary of the democrats at this point. some aging dude whose claim to fame is a tv show named after being able to call someone a fag and serial sexual harassment.

I think part of what a lot of (mostly white) people miss about stuff like this is that the stripping of content and context from words like "woke" has real consequences.

This is tantamount to plagiarism of every other centrist big-head that did the exact same thing—say something dogshit, gets a swirlie, refuses to elaborate, cries in an upcoming column, this man should be sued, he is stealing IP, he is an idea thief! Stop this man! He is a thief!

It’s actually just racist because the NYT is co-signing the idea that he got his job because he is Black and there’s no evidence for this

"IT'S NOT RACIST TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT IMMIGRATION" ought to have been retired years ago because as it turns out Yes. Yes it is.

On the contrary, we've been hearing politicians across the spectrum constantly insist on how not racist "concerns about migration" are for pretty much as long as I can remember. Indeed, in the real political world (as opposed to social media), it's suggesting the contrary that gets you shouted down.

talking about trans people: yup. they’re all groomers. and they’re targeting your children talking about a 40 year old streamer: look he may have groomed a child but he did it to make a very important point

Quick reminder that the transmedicalist project has failed in its entirety, legitimacy sourced from the judgment of doctors is completely irrelevant to any sufficiently motivated opponent of trans rights, and what we actually need is liberation.

Just a reminder that three months ago the Assad regime seemed like it had successfully drowned the revolution in blood and that counterrevolutionary violence was permanently victorious for decades to come

Just, seriously, what the fuck? It is harder to get people to dissociate from abusers than it is for a bunch of cunts to hound a brown trans woman away from the platforms she makes her fucking living on? What the fuck is wrong with you people?

The idea that everyone else will eventually come to your way of thinking and you'll get to tell them I told you so is itself a conpiracist point of view. Am sorry but no matter how bad it gets not a single Qanon Anti Vaxxer is ever gonna call you smart.

Wikipedia absolutely smashing it today.

The year is 2022. Gundam has debuted its first female protagonist, ever. She's a brown lesbian. The entire show is so weirdly good you start wondering if Okouchi Ichirou, of Code Geass fame, has been possessed by the spirit of feminism. No animated yuri will ever be as good again, unfortunately.

this week on substack I talk about punk and subculture margaretkilljoy.substack.com/p/a-message-...

Still incredible that Roze of the Recapture yaoi-baited (then shat on it), yuri-baited (semi-delivered, subtexty), het-baited (shat on it). In the end literally nobody is happy.

I think my fundamental thing I wish everyone everywhere on the political spectrum would understand right now and for the last 8 years is that "worse is worse" - we don't need things to get worse to wake people up to how bad things are, we don't need a kick up the arse, we don't need a lesser evil.
