Genuinely if we took this approach with Purdue Pharmacuticals and the Sacklers it'd've done more for combatting the opioid crisis than invading a sovereign nation ever would have

So let me get this straight: We'll cut funding to USAID, starve our own people to be able to cut their healthcare, and call for the harassment of people who aren't specifically respectful to a dead guy with a podcast. But we'll attack Venezuela and run it ourselves?

I am just combining a random Pokémon with a random pride flag both so I can get better at drawing non-humans and do some shading practice with a limited palette but I hope Lesbian Tentacruel appeals to someone

Ok not that anyone asked my opinion nor am I going to have good advice for romantic relationships but like. To the extent that we're having a conversation of how to combat right wing propoaganda that takes guys googling "how do I ask my crush out" and puts them on the path to "women owe you sex"

I lied I'm sorry I'm gonna elaborate but listen everybody is gonna fuck up one time or another and if it's not when they're a kid it'll be when they're an adult and the consequences are a lot higher when you're over 18 and you don't have mom and/or dad or grandma or whoever to catch you safely

Here is my take on takeout/cooking discourse: It is none of my fucking business how other people get food into their bodies because I do not know their lives, circumstances, limitations, or practical realities. But there should be more good, affordable options and the choices suck.

One of the things that folks forget a out GenAi is that when we say "it's bad for the enviroment" that's not some Nebulous thing It is causing actual real harm to people NOW & often the people it's hurting are bipoc folks & that is by design Those nimby motherfuckers are hurting our most vulnerable

@CANINEBLOOD

hey if ur using ai (including grok) ur actively poisoning the people of memphis (a predominantly poc community might I add) and should be ashamed of yourself

Screen cap of an article that says
"But at what cost? The facility is currently operating 33 methane-powered gas turbines to fuel its AI technology despite holding a permit for only 15. The supercomputer facility is located in a poor, predominantly Black Memphis community with historically high rates of pollution-related illness and disproportionate rates of industrial pollutants."

Less than 24 hours after @acvalens.net broke this story, it was removed from the site following direct intervention from VICE’s owners, who were reportedly uncomfortable with the subject matter. Censoring a story on censorship is about as 2025 as it gets.

This is also VERY NEW in the history of Blockbusters and action. The MCU sold y'all eating disorders & y'all bought it, then turned around & blamed a hypothetical horny woman. Leading men in ACTION MOVIES used to be martial arts/dancer toned.

The censorship of 80+ games on Steam this week was apparently the work of Australian antiporn group Collective Shout, which partnered with US evangelicals to pressure Visa and Mastercard. They claimed, without evidence, that the games involved child abuse. Great work by @acvalens.net for VICE.

"Separating art from the artist" is always a complicated conversation. But when an artist says they are going to use their art's proceeds to further hurt marginalized people, don't just believe them, SHUN THEM. The Trans community needs your support more than you need ANOTHER fucking Harry Potter.

New trans girl Claire just found out the members of her fav Portland band are magical girls - and she's one, too! Now she’s out of the closet as the newest member of Magica Riot! Check out the book Strange Horizons called "brilliant trans joy," in print, ebook, and audio. magicariot.com/magicariot

Artwork of the cover art of "Magica Riot," featuring protagonist Claire in her purple magical girl costuming posing in front of the St. Johns Bridge in Portland, Oregon. Across the top, artwork of her and the other four main characters in a park is placed. Around the book art are placed several blocks of text: "trans protagonist," "entirely queer cast," "found family energy," "thrilling action," "music-based magic," "goopy monsters," "useless lesbians," "modern-day Portland." A quote from Strange Horizons Magazine calling the book "Brilliant trans joy" comes next. Finally, text at the bottom reads: "Recommended if you like Sailor Moon, Symphogear, Pretty Cure, Power Rangers"
