The Censorship-Industrial Complex theory is an embarrassing misreading of complex dynamics, and (ironically) it's quickly become a tool to shut down legitimate discourse and criticism by framing it as a conspiracy against free speech.

I was raped as a child repeatedly. Here is your opportunity to block me and tell me I didn’t do enough to not get raped. Tell me more about how I didn’t fight hard enough against being penetrated by an adult.

The most predictable progression in the world... Tip to reporters who don't want to look like absolute tools: don't report on what Musk *says* as if it means anything at all.

May 2025 story in the AP: Elon Musk says he will cut back on political spending after heavily backing Trump in 2024

WASHINGTON (AP) — Elon Musk, the richest person in the world and a key financial supporter of President Donald Trump, said Tuesday that he’ll be spending “a lot less” on political campaigns, a reversal that could be a setback for Republicans ahead of next year’s midterm elections.

NPR story: Musk to slow down political spending: 'I think I've done enough'

Elon Musk says he ‘got carried away’ in politics, defends DOGE

Exclusive: Musk plans massive push for GOP in midterms

Tech billionaire Elon Musk is jumping into the midterms with a huge investment in a plan to boost Republican voter turnout, Axios has learned.

Driving the news: Musk is resuscitating his dormant super PAC, America PAC, which spent more than $260 million to help get President Trump elected in 2024.

I hesitated to repost this because it's a bit saucy but it's just. Something about transcends the voyeuristic eroticism - don't get me wrong it's there - but the COLORS make it feel more like a landscape and that's incredible.

One thing I’m DAMNED sure of after serving is women know how push through sustained pain - so much so I had to make them go to sick call if it went on too long - and men had to LEARN how to do that. Women just did it. Take from that what you will.

Infamous is so solid. That really short one with the young lady with the pink hair was astonishing, too. Every time you unlocked a new skill they’d flash you back to the lab where she was being held prisoner and you’d have these REALLY uncomfortable training sequences. And then end was cathartic!

it is something i hit on a lot, that of the many, many bad reasons all the internet regulation stuff is aimed at kids instead of actual companies, CEOs, the ones actually doing harm - is it's cuz kids don't have any political power and can't do shit about it. they're a 'no cost' target here.

even if you overly generously take class interests and outright malice out of it would still leave you with simple cowardice: fighting the wealthy adults is hard, cracking down on the kids is easy. sucks to be them.
