TLDR: Fur Affinity's advertising partners are demanding that they ban adult content. Sciggles and FA want to firmly tell them to go fuck themselves. If they're going to be able to afford to do that, they need the community's help. Pitch in. Keep furry weird. www.furaffinity.net/journal/1143...

Sort of insane fact about how broken US urban planning is—America now spends more building *just the lights for roads and highways* than on all subways & ground mass transit combined Spending on roadway *pavement* is 18x transit spending

Are there some kids on e-motos that suck? Yep. But there's also so many drivers that suck - running red lights, veering out of their lane, watching videos while driving. Yesterday, I saw a car that was stopped at a red light decide it had waited long enough halfway through the pedestrian signal.

I think the biggest thing is that people always seem to want to be tough-on-crime for crimes they know they'll never be accused of. Tough on drivers? C'mon, things happen. Tough on e-motos? Well, if I don't own one of those then cracking down on them can't hurt me.

For how hard it is to glue both materials, cleaning silicone residue off of stainless steel is tricky. You can scrape most of it off with a single edge razor, but the razor dulls and stops working quickly, and the very thin residue can be removed with sandpaper and scotchbrite, but laboriously.

bsky fact: the "rude" label is hand-applied directly by human moderators in 100% of cases. if you disagree with what a bsky moderator would consider "rude", and this should be the case for everyone except a very narrow band of North Dakotan senior church bazaar organizers, just switch it off.

this is why we need to separate traffic offence enforcement from the people who carry guns. let these civil infractions be enforced by unarmed employees who only have the power to issue tickets and summons. like parking meter enforcement.

My life as a reporter changed a lot moving from Oklahoma to Connecticut. The most profound change is probably not having to witness executions anymore. Utmost respect to the media witnesses in Tennessee who’ve watched multiple botched executions this year. It’s a hard but incredibly important job.

That's where I've been for a while. We can't even reach questions about the death penalty itself because we fail essential predicates such as "fair and consistent criminal justice system" and "reliable death penalty verdicts that leave no reasonable doubt" and, as shown tonight, "humane execution."

What had been a small, volunteer, bootstrapped start-up was pushed into the red by payment processors demanding exorbitant fees to process sex-related content.

The commissions tom sales kept us mancially balanced for severd yedis.
But since 2025, our revenue has no longer been enough to cover our fixed costs: servers, accounting, payment systems, email services, etc. (And I'm not talking about salaries. The team has been volunteering since the public launch!)
An additional cost has arisen this autumn (2026): our long-standing payment provider dropped us because of our adult content.
To keep going, card networks are demanding prohibitive commission rates.
Consequently, Flowfo is operating at a loss

They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

most "bad behavior" by bikes is from trying to defuse tense traffic interactions! go on walk sign so the cars aren't yelling at you getting up to speed, running a red while checking to get the erratic driver swerving into the bike lane a cycle behind you, taking a lane to show it's unsafe to pass

In many ways, the only thing boys need to learn are the lessons we already teach girls. They need to learn to be part of a community. And if they understand that, then the lessons on consent and sexual violence come naturally.

Another big one is teaching your son to see girls as equals. Instead of enrolling him in sex-segregated sports, introduce him to a co-ed team. And help him foster his more “feminine” interests where we can be in mixed-sex spaces, making mixed-sex friend groups.

Teach your son to wait. Teach him that other people are as important as he is. Teach him to apologize and go back to the end of the line if he made an entitled decision. Teach him that girls and women deserve respect in *all* scenarios—not just during sex.

The idea that women are given special rights based on sex is a remarkably absurd framing and not how discrimination protections actually work in practice. It can only stem from a thoroughly right-wing understanding of the world that believes marginalized people are granted extra entitlements.
