yeah idk, maybe we should just let this country burn to ground

feeling very assured that the people telling me i’ve been overreacting to our current situation are very, very wrong.

fight for a future you believe in

Cuckoo star Hunter Schafer has reportedly been given a new passport with an M for the gender marker, outing her as trans to anyone she shows it to. The model and actress says her previous passport was stolen in Barcelona, leading her to apply for a replacement.

science saru is making a new ghost in the shell anime!? omg.

It is so *weird* living in a new reality that most people can't even see. Million of people think they're still living in a world that no longer exists. Wildly disconcerting times.

I am very sad to say that I would have said this is a straight line from exactly what the signals were online, and nobody was listening to the whole cohort of folks shouting about this for about 10 years straight while having their lives ruined for mentioning it

grok 3’s “real-time” information, aka, the truth be adjusted in real-time by the unending tsunami of propaganda slop flooding the internet

can’t wait to be forced to pay elon a monthly fee to get my mail delivered from the illegal X-mail monopoly service i’m required to use that also scans the contents of every envelope and package and sells my data to darknets
