Okay, my media-illiterate people with tiny baby brains: Understand that when people mistreat sentient robots and computers in fiction it's a commentary on how we treat other people, usually marginalized groups. It is not and has never been about the possibility machines are or could be people.
They fired so many artists over this too. People who helped make the game iconic were tossed out on the street because the Slop Faucet could do it "decent enough". If you still play Fortnite, you're funding the hyper-acceleration of AI replacing Artists in Gaming

Trans rights is inherently a bodily autonomy issue. Just like abortion rights is. We can't have gender equity or reproductive freedom without trans rights. Full stop. You can yell at me and make up shit that you claim I've said if it makes you feel better. I don't care. I'm right. And you know it.
I feel it’s crazy that nobody outside of trans people and REALLY invested allies seems to know that the internal trans refugee crisis is one of the biggest internal refugee migrations the United States has ever experienced.
Casey Explosion@caseyexplosion.bsky.social · last wk.Like, you know there's an internal refugee crisis facing the US with trans people fleeing their home states, right? Can you understand why trans people might be more than a little on edge, stressed, angry because of the way we're treated? Perhaps extend a little understanding and empathy.

This has been standard on Steam in the UK for a while now. I do not have a credit card. NOBODY in my family does. It's debit cards all round. Several major streamers I know also do not have credit cards. We are all apparently unable to prove that we are over 18. I am over goddamn forty.

You know who we need most when companies overreach and desperately need reminding of their place? People who are already spending their cash on said company. I would love to start a Cancel Your Nitro Membership and Pass Along the Sentiment train. Just cancelled mine. Join me ✨ 🌹
Hey as an artist it's really fucking cool and awesome that "looks like AI slop" has become such a normalized insult for works created by humans. Fuck off.

This is what living next door to a 30 megawatt data center sounds like.
This is their plot to steal the election, steal our country and then enslave our people.
Matt Novak@paleofuture.bsky.social · 3w agoThis is pretty fucking wild. I had assumed in a worst case scenario he would target blue zip codes and toss ballots based on technicalities but this is even worse than I imagined.
Ya gotta do this per account by the way, make sure to turn it off on *all* gmails you have set up

Hey, critters. The media's interested in furries again. As someone who's been in the fandom for well over two decades and has worked as a journalist, here's a quick guide to Dealing With The Press: If a journalist approaches you, SHUT THE FUCK UP SHUT THE FUCK UP SHUT THE FUCK UP SHUT THE FUC
Do Not Engage. The UK media are not in the business of presenting subcultures and minorities in a positive or even sympathetic light. If you are in any way outside the mainstream you are a potential target for the next moral panic.
🔜Pawsome Locksley/ Moosli the cow/ Timon/ Stitch@moosli.bsky.social · 3w agoHearing that channel 4 are making a documentary about the adult side of furry gives me the fear I can't see it leaving a positive impact. If the prod company comes asking to use footage/ wants to speak with you use EXTREME caution.
Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy so guess who has 4 paws and got informed their lease isn't getting renewed... hahaha Anything helps 😅 gofund.me/2092c879d
Your regular reminder that the beaver is the fursona of maga chud Arch "beaver" alpin who maxes out his donations to conservative candidates and to the repeal of roe v wade and LGBT rights. Not sure why I see so many gay furries wearing their merch and taking pictures with the statue.

Texas lawmakers literally tried to pass an anti-furry bill. Nazis have been targeting furries forever on the internet. All anti-furry rhetoric is centered around the fact that furries are majority-LGBTQ and incredibly accepting of LGBTQ people, and therefore “cringe.” Furry is a queer subculture

"If trans people want a boycott of The New York Times, where's the call to do so?" Here is a declaration laying out how the NYT is a key driver of trans genocide, why boycotts work and why anyone who gives a damn about trans lives and rights must boycott The New York Times.
Boycott The New York Times
For years The New York Times has relentlessly pushed anti-trans propaganda, playing a significant role in the escalating genocide against us. It's far past time for a call to action: anyone who cares ...

I LITERALLY SAID THIS WAS THE RISK OF CONTINUING TO USE TWITTER. EVEN IF YOU JUST POST ART THERE AND LEAVE, YOU ARE STEADILY INDOCTRINATING YOUR AUDIENCE BY PUTTING THEM IN CONSTANT PROXIMITY TO FASCISM AND RIGHT WINGERS.
John Pfaff@johnpfaff.bsky.social · last mo.Evidence is already accruing that spending time on Twitter pulls ppl to the right, bc the algorithm feeds you horrible stuff. And again: academics are likely more vulnerable, bc they convince themselves they are less.
One of the life-hacks I've found to be most powerful is that you can become a better person by hanging around good people. If you hang around good people, their values become your values and you start emulating their behavior. If you hang around the Nazi bar, their values will become your values.
