genAI is rapist technology. lack of consent and thrill of domination/conquest is the feature, not a side effect. it's about taking and violating the sanctity of what's precious to others.

Well, as a surprise to no one #Cara has been scraped again!. Another crook taking what’s not there’s. The damage this is doing to the platform both physically and financially is huge. The #GenAI movement is an absolute curse.

A quick Ralsei before work. I still need to finish Chapter 5, so please no spoils. #deltarune #ralsei

YouTube has removed one of my videos because I reported that women can still access abortion pills. I shared *factual & medically accurate* information about women's health—yet the platform says I'm "facilitating the sale of illegal drugs"

I take Lexapro. I have taken Lexapro for over two decades. The times that I have discontinued taking Lexapro have ended very badly for me. RFKJ is trying to kill millions of Americans like me. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/04/s...

Working at a museum kind of broke my brain around how many artists lived and died working class of poor, only to have their work sold and hoarded by the wealthy.

My biggest conspiracy theory is that telling working class people that engagement in the arts is a middle / upper class thing and to do so makes you a class traitor is a psyop to make them disengaged with themselves and the world and the beauty of being human, so that they accept worse treatment.

I read a history of early 20th century socialism and it's crazy how much of it is just clubs doing art or reading books and trying to get miners and factory workers to do art and read books.

This ruling amounts to a nationwide abortion ban. Mifepristone is safe, full stop. This isn’t about science and protecting women, it’s a calculated plot by Republicans obsessed with controlling the private health care decisions of women in America.

Just in: A federal appeals court has restricted access to one of the most common means of abortion in the U.S. by blocking the mailing of mifepristone.

BREAKING: We're suing Louisiana officials for suspending the state's primary election after voting has already begun. On the heels of a Supreme Court decision that eviscerated protections for voters of color, elected officials jumped at the chance to disenfranchise people — we won't allow it.

More than 100,000 absentee ballots had been sent to voters across the state. Some had already been completed and returned.

Four weeks ago, I crashed my bike in Japan. I walked—ok, I limped but only a little, lol—into a hospital, had my wounds cleaned and dressed, had a CAT scan and a consult with a neurologist, paid cash, and walked out after about 90 minutes. The bill was $125. US healthcare is very fucked up.

This sort of thing is definitely why people support republicans. Instead of recognizing corporate evil as the root of their problems, they're told "illegals" get everything better than them and are the reason it's bad instead. This was really big in Texas. I used to hear a lot about how the...

I grew up in a very racist America and well, this graph on deportations seems to show we're still pretty racist. Opposing racism in the 21 Century isn't the common ground liberal think it is. And the Supreme Court just made it institutionally legal.

As a former pack-a-day smoker, do not bring back indoor smoking. When I smoked I had no idea how bad it was to smoke around people who weren’t also smoking. Like on the STREET it sucks. Don’t do this to other people

lauren@lauren.rotatingsandwiches.com · 4mo ago

we all have our vices and i'm a hypocrite for judging them like this but "bringing back smoking" is an idea periodically floated by the dumbest people alive whose only real belief is edgelordism. i am totally unwilling to hedge on or reconsider this opinion

This is correct. And coupled with the attacks on people of color in the workplace, colleges, and the military, we are likely to see a profound resegregation across American society.

The Voting Rights Act is essentially dead and it’s quite possible that we will, like when a similar SCOTUS gutted civil rights at the fall of Reconstruction, see a disappearance of much of the Black congressional representation, especially in the most heavily Black states, which are in the South.

It's so disheartening watching this court carry out the explicit project of white supremacy so blatantly while gaslighting the public to say it's trying to stop discrimination. They're dismantling every major legacy of the civil rights movement. We need to reform this court.
