gf has spent weeks in platform-approval hell bc her psychological thriller game dares to have prestige streaming show level content and they misinterpreted her key art as having imagery of someone killing themselves (it did not) but that’s awesome

they keep saying openly how much they fucking hate their userbase and that’s fucking… whatever tbh. but then you need to focus on composability and STOP making moderation decisions. make the product WORK so we can move instead of being hostile while we’re forced to be here.

if you're worried that not enough people are hearing that ai is good: a bunch of incredibly rich men including notable white supremacist elon musk and us president donald j. trump are taking care of that for you, so my advice is to just sit back, relax, and let your guys handle it

ICE builds more prisons because the goal is explicitly to warehouse surplus labor, criminalize poverty, and assert total control over all of society. When Stephen Miller claims there are 25, 30, or even 50 million "illegal immigrants" in the US, he's betting on how many of us he'll need to imprison

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.

not enough people realize that presidential election margins and congressional majorities being razor thin is largely an aberration of the 21st century and there's not really anything preventing us from going back to the very lopsided results that are historically the norm

successfully equating large language models with actually useful artificial intelligence was a massive marketing victory for these companies so i'm actually ok with that being undone at the behest of the pedophile fuhrer

Materialism is the source of narrative. The Dems can’t tell a story because *they do not want to change the material conditions under which we live*. What the fuck sort of story can a fading, fascist-accommodating neoliberalism tell?

It’s terrifying watching our country descend into murderous fascistic authoritarianism. But if we all do these 4 clear actions we can save the US from collapse. 1. Oh my God, did you see what Trump did today? 2. Isn’t what Trump did illegal? 3. He is so dumb and such a liar. 4. Trump.

Sen. Susan Collins helped steer millions in federal defense contracts to Navatek, whose CEO illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign. The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers. Then Trump gutted the unit in charge. THREAD 🧵
Martin Kao, CEO of defense contractor Navatek, poses next to Sen. Susan Collins for a photo. Collins is holding a model of a boat in her hands. Behind them is a large sign with the Navatek logo.

This isn't a metaphor. Just a story about a roach. COMIC ◆ www.smbc-comics.com/comic/roach-2 PATREON ◆ www.patreon.com/ZachWeinersm... STORE ◆ smbc-store.myshopify.com
4-panel SMBC comic update. The first panel shows a cartoon little roach happily saying "oh man! The stupid human put food in here. fool!" The next panel shows the roach walking away from a poison trap as he says "I’m gonna give it to everyone!" The third panel shows a human at his computer with a similar expression to that of the cartoon roach. The man says "this stupid company made a controversial ad. How embarrassing for them!" The man then walks away from the computer desk, at an angle reminiscent to the panel where the roach walks away from the poison trap. The man says "better share with all my friends and family so everyone knows which ad not to look at."

If the Dem consultant class were just "following the polls" they'd be encouraging candidates to go hard against "ai," stop arming the Israeli regime and embrace impeachment. They are doing the opposite, and their targeting of trans people is, likewise, about their own twisted ideology and cruelty.

The fact that both Democrats and Republicans are racing to the 10 side of a 90-10 issue really tells you a lot about the state of our democracy (it's a corporatocracy), and how both parties view democracy in general (as a nuisance).

I finally sat down and wrote an email to the Talarico campaign. Doing nothing felt untenable. I encourage other decent Texans to communicate their disappointment. If this can help you get started, feel free to use anything that works for you

Disappointment

I hope I am just one of many communications you receive expressing extreme disappointment with the campaign's position regarding transgender children.

Just as it is unacceptable for the government to insert itself between women and their doctors, it is equally unacceptable for the government to insert itself between children and their doctors and parents. Supporting a bill to ban gender related surgery in children ignores the fact that this is not government's place.And coming out for exceptions to transgender children participating in sports is equally unforgivable. There are no safety issues with transgender children playing that aren't also there with cisgender children. Same with fairness issues. Accepting the premise that transgender children aren't just regular children is ceding ground to the fascists who wish to remove all trans 0 people from daily life. I am so deeply disappointed in Mr Talarico and the entire campaign for allowing this framing to stand unchallenged and for the stand he has taken against the transgender community.

You may still get my vote in November, but you will not get my labor in the very hard ground game that needs to be fought. I simply can't fight for a candidate that won't fight for all of us.

Sincerely,

Lisa Seger Waller, TX

The dems are currently running against a bunch of pedo supporters who crashed the economy, started a losing war with iran, and sent out secret police on our streets. And yet, for some reason, they're choosing to attack trans people, one of the groups the pedo supporters use as a scapegoat.
