You should be asking why Rockstar gets to do this and doesn't run into any issues with payment processors, while the rest of anyone drawing or writing "explicit content" on any platform have so much trouble getting paid

AP Stylebook warns against anthropomorphizing AI systems: “Avoid language that gives them human characteristics… Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.”

Artificial intelligence systems do not think, feel, want or understand. Avoid language that gives them human characteristics. This is called anthropomorphizing, when we ascribe human traits, emotions or behaviors to non-human things, such as animals or inanimate objects.
Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.

FYI, from Toocheke. They added a Tapas migration feature.
A screenshot of an email that says

Import Your Tapas.io Comics Into WordPress
You may have seen the news about Tapas shutting down. If you or anyone you know publish there, you’re probably wondering what happens to all of your comics and years of work.

We’ve just added a new import feature to Toocheke Companion (available in version 2.23+) that can move an entire Tapas series into WordPress for you — including episodes, images, thumbnails, and original publish dates.

It keeps everything in order, so you don’t have to manually copy and paste hundreds of pages.

Jacobs, the IFA, and every keynote speaker at this conference are affiliated with the New Apostolic Reformation, or NAR, an apocalyptic charismatic movement heaven-bent on transforming America into a Christian nation and thereby kicking off the end times. As Christian dominionists, NAR members believe that God wants Christians to control every aspect of society, and they’re taking concrete action to make that happen. Several members of President Donald Trump’s inner circle are affiliated with this group; other members espouse their ideas.

“Their fixation with their own prophecies, and in the way they interpret biblical prophecies, is very influential today,” theologian and religious scholar Matthew D. Taylor told me. “ I wouldn’t necessarily say, ‘Oh, Donald Trump believes in their end-times prophecies,’ but they do, and they are advising Trump.”

Agree with this—a) “get in losers, we’re bringing back justice and civil rights ” is a much more appealing message than figuring out whom to throw off the train, and b) I think candidates are underestimating how many Dem voters have trans/NB kids they would do anything to protect

It's darkly funny to me that project blue book concluded the gov should proactively educate people and debunk UAP sightings and the government was like 'what if we didn't do that?' And then 50 years later the (former) governor of Maryland demanded the airforce shoot down the constellation Orion.

By moving to the “center,” Democrats have failed to fight the forces that led us to Donald Trump: widening inequality, economic insecurity, and the unchecked political power of corporations and the rich. Political centrism is nonsense. There is no middle ground between democracy and oligarchy.

This is a real good thread and illustrates one of many reasons I am sad Talarico threw trans children under the bus - he almost certainly didn't need to. Texans don't want to ban trans girls from playing sports, they want clean water to drink.

"Sometimes you have to choose the lesser of two evils," they say. Ah, and why does one sometimes *have* to do that? Because someone else, who could have chosen opposition to evil, instead opts to become a lesser evil for their own perceived advantage—leaving others to bear the burden of that choice

i see a lot of debate around this issue that takes it for granted that supporting trans rights (especially in the sports context) will hurt you electorally. it’s worth highlighting that that’s just not what the data shows.

I don't think many are angry because of a perceived pivot. A lot of folks just weren't paying attention before now, or they wish he would have at least kept his mouth shut on this issue. Gonna be interesting to compare his performance to Hinojosa's since she seems stronger on trans rights.

People get confused about the trans sports thing because at a glance it seems like a small issue that impacts a very small number of people and thus makes sense as a "reasonable" concession. But it isn't, because conceding that is accepting that a kid's trans identity is on some level fraudulent

an open letter to @jamestalarico.bsky.social @teamtalaricohq.bsky.social
dear James,

it is unlikely that you remember me from fall 2021, when we were at austin Presbyterian theological seminary together. I moved out of Texas for a few years and just moved back, telling everyone how excited i was to vote for you 

Now, I'm not so sure.

The reason i moved away from my beloved texas is because Ken Paxton wanted records from a gender clinic my child had been seen at. The reason i moved away from my home, my church, my friends, was to make sure the state would not take my children away because i affirm they are who they say they are. Once both children were adults, we made the decision, with our non-binary kid, to come back to the land we love and help fight for it. 

Yesterday, I watched an interview where you said you're against trans people in sports "if" that makes sports unfair or unsafe.  I've seen multiple people defend your statement, saying the "if" is load bearing. However, i woke up to your socials talking about how much republicans love you. So, how would voting for you be meaningfully different to the mom of a trans child than voting for Paxton?

I know the PCUSA just strengthened their support of trans people. If you still want my vote, i need you to realign with your faith, not with Republican talking points. I am deeply disappointed this morning but there is still time for you to have courageous conviction. I'll be praying for you. Sincerely, marie.

It is important to keep this in circulation
Insult Deflection or Insult Reflection is a single-panel cartoon illustrating the effects one's insults or other forms of verbal attacks directed at a disliked person can inadvertently have on their mutuals, depicting a stick figure shooting at another, who then deflects it into a third person. Spawned by a viral Tumblr post about bodyshaming, the cartoon has been used as an exploitable meme since June 2022.
