One thing I wish people would realize is just how central JK Rowling is to the entire anti-trans ecosystem. Looking at a network node analysis of the top 200 anti-trans X accounts, she is the most central figure spanning both sides of the Atlantic from Republicans to Labour.

A network graph visualization on a dark background showing connections between various accounts. The central, highly connected node is labeled "J.K. Rowling," with lines radiating out to many other nodes color-coded by region (UK, US, etc.). A detail panel on the right displays stats for her account, including her role as "Author & commentator," an in-degree of 153, an out-degree of 84, and 14 million followers.

A scatter plot graph on a dark background comparing accounts based on "followers (log)" on the x-axis and "in-degree" on the y-axis. The data points are color-coded by region. J.K. Rowling is highlighted as a major outlier in the top right corner, possessing the highest number of followers and the highest in-degree. Other labeled points lower on the graph include various politicians, individuals, and campaign organizations.

i have not posted any new threads in over a month but i just got blocked by Benn Jordan for posting this in reply to him whining about how he hand drew art and still gets accused of being slop he has also gone through and blocked *everyone* in what used to be a huge thread on his page

screenshot showing Benn fucking Jordan has blocked me for pointing out his AI slop bullshit

i should have gotten a "before" screenshot but i did not expect him to ban fucking everybody who said anything so fast

above are two posts where Ben talks about getting a drawing tablet and making images himself

youtuber @bennjordan.bsky.social posts video full of AI slop images. I post a reply pointing this out. he responds with the image open in illustrator as proof that it's not gen ai, but it shows that the image is a "Generative Object" in the layers on the right 💀💀💀

also quite hypocritical to criticize AI data centers' infra-sound emissions, then contributing to said problem by using AI himself...

They just posted an announcement that - they replaced the host with someone from the Awoostria Awareness Team - the title and description were changed to officially include all women, not just cis. I still feel it's rather redundant now, given the FLINTA panel happening an hour later.

To my knowledge defragmentation only helps on mechanical storage, and could be harmful on solid-state storage (but probably will just do nothing)

🇪🇺⚖️ The EU Council's own Legal Service confirms: Mass #ChatControl is incompatible with fundamental rights! 🛑 Yet, this is exactly what they are trying with procedural trickery now. ❌ Stop the mass surveillance of millions! 👉 fightchatcontrol.de 💥 Act now!

An image with a blue header reading "LEAK. The devastating verdict on Chat Control. Internal Document: Council Legal Service on 10 June 2026." Below are three text boxes. On 'voluntary' mass scans of private chats: "The concerns have not been dispelled, as it continues to involve a general search of interpersonal communications." On the selection of targets: "An objective, sufficient connection to CSAM is required. However, such a determination is a state task and cannot be left to service providers." On Chat Control 1.0: "According to prevailing opinion, the Interim Regulation was not a legal basis for scanning interpersonal communications."

Basically they are repackaging the old law as a formally new law so it can be voted on again. They planned the vote for a time when a lot of MEPs are on vacation, likely in hopes the opposition is not here to vote against it.

Every year for Pride, I repost Hue. I made him to send love and comfort to those who feel Pride isn’t for them because they aren’t out. You matter, you are valid, and it’s ok if you aren’t ready yet. Coming out is not a requirement for being part of this community. Happy Pride 🌈

Uber’s COO has said that it’s getting “harder to justify” its AI costs because there was no way to show a link between AI spend and any meaningful increase in useful features. This is the first time I’ve seen a company say this directly. www.businessinsider.com/uber-coo-and...

"That link is not there yet, right?" he said. think maybe implicitly there is more that is getting shipped, but it's very hard to draw a line between one of those stats and, 'Okay, now we're actually producing 25% more useful consumer features."
He said that the trade-off costs from Al are harder to justify because he can't draw a direct link. Earlier this month, CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said in an earnings call that Uber was slowing hiring to counter its investments in AI.

The comment led to what he described as a
"head-exploding moment," sparking discussions about AI token consumption within the company and the trade-offs it creates, such as on head count.
He said that, based on talks with Uber's senior engineering leaders, he realized higher token usage did not translate into a proportional increase in useful consumer features.

A repost of the image being quote retweeted that says: "Your fetishes are nothing to be ashamed about. Unless your fetish is being humiliated, then you should be very ashamed you nasty little pervert." except the censored words from the original: "fetishes", "fetish", and "pervert" have all been replaced with uncensored versions, in a bright red font and on fire.
