🙄 Here we go again. Trump is denying the legitimacy of midterm election results and resurrecting conspiracy theories about voting machines. But his claims, as you might expect, are bogus. Here’s why: https://demdock.com/4sODLz0

@cawsmiczeek.bsky.social oh boy you're gonna love what my group's cooking up 🎉

So, greater context: - There was a boom in microdramas, to the point there was a Hollywood-esque town everyone flocked to - AI shoved them all out of work, microdramas went full AI - ... and then (below) interest evaporated I am supremely skeptical of "oh but AI hatred is just a Western thing."

I’m really fascinated by the failure of ai video in China. Over two hundred thousand ai generated vertical dramas were lunched and 99% of them lost money. That’s incredible. It’s so bad the government is now looking at ways to incentivize more human-made dramas note.com/eichan_sh/n/...

Bat at it again

bat to basics

guess that's what this Monday is, coming to the defense of COMIC SANS in the year 2026 got a full-stack day of office work on maybe 4 hours of sleep, and somehow, that's what brings me to life hope everyone's having themselves a good one 👍🏾

Reminder: If a group calling for the eradication of pornography starts accusing minorities of being inherently pornographic that’s just a group for the eradication of minorities.

Collective Shout, the antiporn group behind the crackdown on Steam, says it will launch a campaign Monday targeting sex workers on TikTok, calling it an “OnlyFan pipeline” This isn’t about exploitation or porn access. They want to eliminate sex worker voices from the public square

Lol. Lmao. So it looks like AI coding has been a thing long enough for the Consequences to crop up. Like gee. Who could have possibly forseen this.

Oh. “A recent Times investigation found that DraftKings used artificial intelligence to send compulsive gamblers promotions and free-bet credits, but declined to use the technology to help identify at-risk bettors.”

biggest blackpill of the past few years for me was realizing that all the cis normie progressives fell for the misinformation campaign instantly. they didn't even realize it was happening because they had never been exposed to any other framing on trans issues

Talia "ATTACK DOGS is out now!" Bhatt ⚢@taliabhatt.itch.io · 2d ago

The most maddening thing about the Sensible Moderate Approach to trans rights is that there is (purposefully, imo) no acknowledgement of sheer volume of hateful disinformation propagated about trans people daily. We face this from religious extremists to billionaires to obsessive journalists.

Does this face tracking look good?

Chuck Schumer has gone from a punching bag for Democrats to the architect of their historic landslide, Franklin Foer writes. He spoke with the senator:

"The Republicans will drop all this trans stuff after the mid-terms"

TRANS SPORTS BANS HAVE NO SCIENTIFIC BACKING. The British Medical Journal— in the most notoriously transphobic country in the western world!— reviewed the available evidence and said so themselves. bsky.app/profile/moxi...

2) Trans sports bans are not based on scientific evidence. bjsm.bmj.com/content/60/3... "Current evidence is mostly low certainty and has heterogenous quality but does not support theories of inherent athletic advantages for transgender women over cisgender."

Important update: after previously signaling that it would cave to Trump's pressure, Michigan has announced that it will be restoring Medicaid coverage of gender-affirming care for trans youth. Pressure works, y'all. Don't let up on Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, New Jersey, and Virginia.

Aleksandra Vaca@transiticsnews.com · 4w ago

Colorado & Michigan have become the latest blue states to end Medicaid coverage for trans youth. Solidly blue Colorado will also be IMMEDIATELY shutting off care for all trans kids receiving puberty blockers—despite Trump's rule allowing a 6 month ‘tapering’ period. This is a complete betrayal.

goddammit, now ShareX has fallen to ensloppification, too. I've been using it for a decade, and the "AI-assisted" new version: * ditches important usability features, including multi-region capture * uses ~400MB instead of ~160MB * has an awful new interface that's hell to navigate […]
