There are two halves to rape culture that appear contradictory but form a synthesis On one hand, powerful people are able to get away with rape, even visible and public rape On the other hand, marginalized people are often lynched on false rape allegations synthesis: rape is about power

Fascism is always obsessed with a style and fashion of respectability, without any interest in facts and substance. So it makes perfect sense that they would doodle an arbitrary infographic-shaped thing and then complain about how it hurts their feelings.

I've been saying for years that a lot of the modern day democratic party's issues stem from the fact that Hillary Clinton and her allies have never truly conceded that she lost the 2008 primary to Obama. Clinton herself dishonestly maintains *to this day* that she got more votes than Obama in 08.

Dems may not be the *source* of the maga threat, but they uphold the two-party system that allows it to thrive. Warren meddled in my state's politics to prevent us from getting ranked-choice elections. Why? Because they rely on Republicans to maintain their own power. How is that not extortion?

Are there studies about the psychology of web 1.0 writing vs Squarespace or socmed? Anecdotally, being the auteur of a webpage seems to come with a disproportionate earnestness. Like, even using a template seems to instill expectations about tone and content that don't inhibit the HTML coder.

A digital illustration in the style of a vintage children’s book. It depicts two humanoid figures whose heads are a flattened organic shape with an opening in the center. Leaning forward, their faces are chained together. Their body language conveys that, while slightly surprised, are ultimately cool with this event.

A digital illustration in the style of a woodcut. It depicts the upper half of humanoid figure whose “head” is a flattened organic shape. A serpentine creature delicately wraps around the figure’s arm and into an opening in their face. The figure handles the creature gently.

Digital art of two women gently holding onto one another. Both women are missing their faces. A reddish-orange tangled mass of organic material flows out from where their faces should be and connects them together.

Was in Hyde Park on a summer evening when the light was right, so obligated to snap the former Ritz Garage building on 55th Street (M. Louis Kroman, 1929)

Color photo of a block-long 3-story store building in the evening light. The building is clad in beautiful white terra cotta on the top two stories. Windows on these floors are placed between column-like dividers, with a terra cotta spandrels between floors. On each end of the building, there is a large car design above each window grouping. These sections are framed by slightly recessed sections where the parapet dips a tiny bit and there are three fins. In the large middle section, each column of windows is topped by a roundel on the parapet.

Closer-up photo of one section of the upper stories of the terra cotta building in the first pic. Mercy! The windows are divided by fluted polygonal piers that end on top with the design of traffic lights! In between the lights, at the top of the third-floor windows are a design of gears. Spandrels depict a car's dashboard and internal mechanism. Above this gloriousness is a relief of a 1920s car, close-up in the next pic.

Detail from parapet of white terra cotta building in previous pics, a relief of a 1920s roadster at an angle, driving over what appears to a pile of bucatini. Because of perspective, back wheel cut off from bottom. The driver is wearing goggles. The passenger has a stoic look and a very long ribbon in her hair, which flows all the way to the car's rear bumper. Parapet's coping has mechanical pattern, possibly depicting cams.

"A bunch of people would rather post on Race War Now Dot Swastika rather than Bluesky because you keep making fun of their imaginary computer friend" is a RESOUNDING endorsement for the concept of hostility.

Part of a thread from some bluecheck:
Multiple people I know have told me that they love the idea of Bluesky, and want it to succeed, but have abandoned it for X because the use agentic tools in their work and find them incredibly useful, and feel that any mention of their usage here leads to hate and ridicule.

I wouldn't bring this up if it was just one person, but it was multiple people since the beginning of August who mentioned in passing something to the effect of either "I'd spend more time on Bluesky if people weren't so anti-AI" *or* "As much as I hate to be there all the useful AI talk is on X."

I'm not saying it's anyone's responsibility to praise AI usage. I agree with much of the criticism of the tool. But for many, many people, it is a useful tech (I have talked about the ways I find it extraordinarily useful, only to have people here mock me, insisting my lived experience is a lie).

I am just noting that for all the people here who say that people should get off X and spend more time here, the reason I keep hearing from people in various circles who would *like* to do that, but don't, is the vociferous belief of many here that there are no possible positive uses of AI.

Citing “lived experience” as evidence something works is literally the tactic of homeopaths and antivaxxers when confronted by large-scale or structured studies disproving their claims. That this now seems to be the go-to argument of the pro-“AI” crowd is a huge red flag.
