If you're willing to sell out trans kids for theoretical votes I have to assume you'd sell out anyone for theoretical votes, so, yes, I do think supporting sports bans means you get not a fucking thing from me.

Unpopular opinion: The fact that they can quickly install data centers nationally means they could've been updating infrastructure which they claimed was too difficult and expensive.

That’s when I became involved in disability advocacy. I started really listening to the elders who came before me. I realized how sad it was that it had to happen to me personally before I believed what an entire group of people had been trying to tell me.

When disabled people oppose Assisted Dying, it’s almost never from a religious point of view. It’s not because we’re anti-choice or that we want to force people to suffer. We oppose it because society devalues disabled lives and uses these programs in an unethical manner. They become eugenics. 🧵

Asked in a Bills women’s group for advice on the most Covid-safe area of a football stadium (least crowded, most ventilation) and I was told “Please stay home if you have this many concerns.” This is how ableds view the disabled: You don’t deserve to leave the house. Don’t make us perceive you.

“this person is bad so their work was always bad” is also a really dangerous view to take because it leads to - unconscious or not - a bias towards “but I do like this other person’s work, ergo they must be a good person” which, as we have seen over and over, is simply not true

Write it on the blackboard a thousand times: they will have to demolish the ballroom, the arch and so forth. They will have to make a show of it. You will get the usual sons of bitches saying we don’t do that in this country. We do now. That is not emotion, it’s politics. To do less is dereliction.

if you don’t know me, hi, i’m Bex & i have stage 2C GIST (gastrointestinal stromal tumor). i am currently unhoused and i need assistance to pay for the security deposit + rent for a room in a shared house. i am very deep in medical debt & credit card debt and have 2 evictions on my record.
White, black and red colours on image that reads:

BEXS BILLS
URGENT
Rebeka is a Black NB Cancer patient. They have been diagnosed with Stage 2a Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor (GIST) in 2024.
Due to the severity of their symptoms & frequency of treatment they are unable to work.
They need to pay for cancer treatment, hospital bills & medication.
They were dependent on SNAP benefits.
They are living from hand to mouth and they are not getting the proper rest & their treatments/appointments are often delayed due to lack of funds/ having to wait for mutual aid funds.
If you're in a position to help Bex, please do so by contributing to their bills using the payment links in the post!

Wow, looks like they nuked their whole BlueSky account. Glad I got screenshots
Screenshot of text from Outlier's FAQ page:

Does Outlier use AI?

Yes. Al is one of many tools we use to build and operate Outlier. We use it to help improve the game, develop new features, troubleshoot and fix bugs, assist with customer support, research ideas, and help with writing and development.

Al doesn't run Outlier or make the final decisions. The concept, game design, rules, scoring, product direction, and decisions about what becomes part of Outlier are ours.

The voice of the game is human designed by us, and Al writes in it rather than inventing it.

We see AI the same way we see other technology: as a tool that helps us work faster, solve problems, and build a better experience for players. It helps us create and improve Outlier, not replace the people behind it.Screenshot of a skeet from Outlier (@playoutlier.bsky.social) dated 11:59AM on Aug 31, 2026

Outlier game deleted their whole Bluesky account , I'm going to repost this because they admitted to AI use (And then presumably decided to leave when the backlash started) Please do not go harassing them on other social media, but I think the info itself is worth passing on

Begging people to stop posting their children on social media. AI learns off the images of your kids. If CSAM is going to be legal under the first amendment, we have a duty to protect kids as much as possible. Don’t post them online. Don’t upload them to AI. Stop using any genAI now.

This is a very potent example of how ableism tends to follow patterns. Not sophisticated ones! Just patterns. Nondisabled person: “jokingly” refers to disabled person as something generally accepted as bad Disabled person: can you not Discourse: wow can you believe people are so sensitive

ORPHANED CATS NEED FOREVER HOME IN NORTHEAST (PLEASE READ *ENTIRE* THREAD) My wife's childhood friend died Thursday, leaving his two *mildly* special-needs cats. The elder, Wally, is about 13. ABSOLUTELY affectionate cat; GLORIOUSLY dim. His only issue is that he poops in bathtubs if given a chance

Disability and homelessness often go hand in hand. Being sick is expensive. The “crip tax” is real. Benefits force you into legislated poverty and make you give up any savings or security. People don’t want to rent to the disabled. It’s suffering as a policy choice.

As much as I am glad we are talking about how shit eugenicists are, it’s kind of painful to have to watch nondisabled people realize that these mfers have always been serious. It’s even more painful that they don’t realize they’ve played a part in that, and probably won’t ever confront it.

there is no such thing as "age verification." All "age verification" is actually "identity verification." You can coat it in glitter and "privacy-preserving" wrapping paper. But in the end, mandating age verification means mandating surveillance be built into software and hardware. Period.

The rich kids won’t have AI in the curriculum. It’s going to be schools like my elementary school, primarily full of kids of immigrants and students, or districts in underserved rural areas or marginalized communities. Every part of this is purposeful.

“Back in my day, there weren’t all these young women using wheelchairs and walking sticks!” No, they either faked being well or were hidden away, and neither is acceptable to demand in a fair society. “I hurt all the time and I don’t use this stuff!” Maybe you should.
