Fun fact: Kitty White (aka "Hello Kitty") is just a normal little human British girl. So is her twin sister, Mimmy. Her boyfriend, Daniel Starr (no relation to Sir Richard Starkey), is a cat.

This is funny, it really is. However. I don't think I have any "keep politics out of furry uwu" people following me, but if i do, you need to think about this. No amount of keeping it SFW is going to be enough for him. They will make your hobby political, and owning that is our only defense.

A tweet from Senator Tommy Tuberville that reads "Just a few weeks ago at the 'Furry Migration' convention in Minneapolis, there was an 'aviation furs meet-up.'

Ask yourself...would you be comfortable with a MENTALLY ILL FURRY being your pilot?"

This is true. In 2016, I got into an argument with a gay man on a menswear forum. I've since made it my mission to make every man dress gay, thereby destroying his ability to tell who is actually gay and, ultimately, his chances of finding love. I built my social media following to achieve that goal

Someone on Twitter writes to me: "People should follow your advise if they want to look gay."

Taking a little break from drawing backgrounds to bring you a PSA from your friendly neighborhood Archdemon of Manslaughter 🙂

Archdemon Glasya-Labolas, in Sunwoo's body, has their hair down and is wearing a short sleeved top, a long pleated skirt, and heeled boots.

They are striking a cute pose while holding a shovel. Next to them is the hole they have been digging, with the leg of a corpse sticking out.

Glasya-Labolas, described as the "author and captain of manslaughter and bloodshed" encourages murder as a form of self-care.

Yes. “If you defund and deplatform anti-racists then that will force their movement underground, and then they will be truly dangerous!” is never, ever an argument you will hear from the right-wing media. Because they know very well that defunding and deplatforming *actually works*.

fairly simple hypotheticals which quickly lead to a dark place, what if: - your man "Tommo" had intercepted that dinghy before the RNLI? - the police hadn't been there to hold back the crowds in Gosport/Portsmouth? - the mob in that hotel had actually found "migrants"?

Lots of talk about Scottish students feeling unaccepted at Scottish universities because of classism and I have to say, when Edinburgh Uni refused my PhD application it was obvious it was because an international student would net more than 4x the fees (I was already a pubbed author by then).

Committees (and corporations—which are committees with a bank account and shareholders) are mechanisms for diffusing and denying responsibility for actions. Generative AI is in turn a tool for diffusing and denying corporate responsibility.

To me there's "AI safety, the fantasy realm" and then there are actual serious people working in actual AI safety and (yes) "alignment" even if that term is tainted. The problem is that they often all get lumped together. And too many top people are obsessed with the fantasy realm.

Yeah from what i understand what they call rationalism & and/or effective altruism are basically a form of transhumanism with added white supremacy & eugenicism. Although to my understanding transhumanism already has eugenics baked in.

Any time you get more than a few people who are deeply concerned with AI doom together, it seems like their natural form of organization looks like a cult; rationalism as a whole is less of a cult than it is a cult factory. Some of these cults have gone very badly. One of them is the Zizians.
