As we're about to hear a whole lot more about autism and vaccines, the great @zachweinersmith.bsky.social has already pointed out the only relevant relationship between the two. www.smbc-comics.com/comic/autism...

not to invalidate my trans siblings but, personally, cis allies loudly declaring support for us right now does help keep despair at bay even if it changes nothing. I don’t care how you phrase it, how clumsy. Please be there for/with us, loudly. It fights the voices that scream everyone hates us.

Fraud! This autistic woman wrote a poem about RFK Jr.

that special needs people can't live rewarding lives is an additional hideous and despicable lie on top of the vaccine lies and everything else no level of hell deep enough for these evil people

the yellow smile of the einsatzgruppe leers again over crumbling walls

have you ever seen morpheus pogging? now you have

Today and every day

since I haven't said it outside of stream in a while: trans women are women trans men are men trans right are human rights I will not tiptoe around my support for those facts to be more "palatable". I will not be quiet to make terfs comfortable. That shit will not fly in my community or life.

I don't remember the last time I was this emotionally invested

In years to come we'll look at this era and wonder why in light of a global pandemic, economic inflation, growing inequality and technological upheaval we decided to make the private lives of a minority considerably worse.

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

where's the jellyfish machine

"We can react by seeing all of this for what it is, and naming it by name: incipient state terror. We can react by associating ourselves with others who are repressed before we are. Only in solidarity do we affirm law."

A Serf's Day - #Technofeudalism 2040 - starring @voicesbyzane.bsky.social Rampant wealth inequality and tech-industry social engineering are ruining our lives. I wish there was a hell so Curtis Yarvin can boil in it LIVE on Newgrounds www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/...

I’m sorry but if your students use AI to write papers and you use AI to grade them zero school is happening. You are running together on a hamster wheel

if Ritchie fucking Torres can do this and Chris Van Hollen can fly to El Salvador the rest of the Dem caucus can show up too hell, everyone should go on the El Salvador trip now’s the time, folks, this road ends with you in the foreign prison

I know this has been talked about, but they’re rolling out the ‘edit image with grok’ thing for mobile users on Twitter(the option came up on my iPad). More randos can play with any artwork you upload. I know some artist friends still use the site, so be careful out there!

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, author of The Gulag Archipelago, has something to say to us today: “And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: what would things have been like if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive..."

Just leaving this here :)

I am once again begging the Tolkien estate to sue Peter Thiel

The thing about these guys being more outrageous with their allegiance to fascism is that you can’t really give them the benefit of doubt. The Trojan Horse of Nazis using game culture isn’t a whisper, it’s being yelled. Ignoring it because you like an IP is what they thrive on, maybe skip this one.

I think one thing chatGPT's invention has revealed is how many people - including some very important people in society - find just basic reading and writing to be laborious and cumbersome to perform, and how oddly closely that type of strained literacy correlates with having other shitty opinions.

More in No, Other People: New poll: “America would be better off if more people worked in manufacturing.” • 80% of Americans agree • 20% disagree “I would be better off if I worked in a factory.” • 25% of Americans agree • 73% disagree • 2% currently work in a factory

Happy Neil day to all who celebrate

Get your passport. Stock up on meds. There is a lot going on but these are critically time-sensitive right now.

Today is a National Holiday, Everyone raise a glass to Neil

gen ai freezes all progress, creativity, and new thinking in place by recycling what has been, disallowing would could be. and what group of people might be motivated by that i wonder

Every thing you do, no matter how small, to remind people that the wannabe dictators are actually sad, scared, fallible little boys is helpful. The more we laugh at them, the less fearsome they are and the easier it is to wrest power back from them. Also? These messages are effing hilarious.

There is so much wrong with this. One is that “healthy” means “having a robust immune system” and you know who doesn’t have a robust immune system because they haven’t been exposed? Children, particularly infants and toddlers.

Feels central to the whole pro-natalism thing that its most public-facing advocates love abusing their kids

Oh shit when the building trades are collectively mad about deportation you done fucked up

us government went from telling miners “learn to code” to telling coders “learn to mine” in less than ten years

creation as an act of love. love as an act of creation

Info on its energy gobbling should be in every news story about AI. It is newsworthy. It is inseparable from the tech itself.

It is such a strange feeling, now that we’ve moved, to see my state in the news for something that isn’t “horrible political scandal nobody’s gonna fix.” I like it! It’s nice!

Attempts to re-normalize the r-word are the perfect encapsulation of how shallow anti-wokeness has always been. The desperate need to claw back some cringe casual bigotry without having to acknowledge how understandable it is that ethical people want nothing to do with your regressive trash behavior

Every married woman in the US needs to immediately revert to their maiden name. Not only does this emasculate the SAVE bill, but it also emasculates patriarchy.

If we allow this heinous treatment to stand, it will be our new normal, the end of the freedom to write, read, think.
