The Milo stuff is the perfect picture of fascism. You think you're protected because you go as big as you can on racism, you spend years harassing the movement's perceived enemies, you even disavow your own sexuality. They'll still throw you in a cage over the tiniest disagreement already forgotten.
And now, a random selection of some of the weird, bizarre, and ridiculous clauses I've seen landlords try to insert into leases (all are illegal ofc). 1. (For a single family home) milk may only be brought in through the back door. All other groceries may come in through the front door.
3. A clause saying that the tenant agreed not to have sex with anyone in the unit unless the landlord could join in. 4. A clause attempting to get around Illinois domestic violence law by saying the tenant explicitly agrees that if domestic abuse happens to the tenant,
"sir do you denounce Steve-O from JackAss" listen to yourselves
If I am reading this right the report says people might react violently to stop trans genocide so if you discuss the genocide of trans people (which international genocide experts have said is happening in the US) you are a terrorist. They're going to kill us and make it illegal to talk about it.
Danielle Froom 🏳️🌈@danifroom.bsky.social · 6h agoWorse, this report blatantly winks and laughs that they're plotting and committing a genocide while claiming they're not - as if propaganda like this could ever be the precursor for anything else.
I have even seen people on Bluesky defend AI CSAM under the guise “it’s not real.” But AI CSAM is not only trained on real material, but now being used to launder real material. There are real victims. They’re just so far removed from the process they’re easy to forget as victims. But they are.
91.8% of players, having waited nearly 20 years for MGS4 to be playable on anything other than PS3, booted the game and immediately made a beeline for a statue's dick
like I am imagining trying to convince the computer pioneers of yore that we'd end up devoting so much compute power, enough to harm the environment and break our economies, to produce bad answers, bad art, plagiarism, and scams. sigh.
Obviously they're going to rename lake Michigan and lake Superior and we're going to end up having the smallest one as lake America

Anyway, I genuinely think that Democrats are trying to purposely throw the Michigan senate race to try to establish a narrative for 2028 that only centrist/corporate Dems are electable. This isn't about Hasan Piker.

first of all, it's not "shrekking," it's "roger rabbiting," and second of all, jessica rabbit legitimately saw roger rabbit as hot and if you don't understand that, you shouldn't be writing about any of this
I Have No Mouth, and I Must Submit a Secondary Claim
hailey@hailey.at · 3d agobsky isnt ready for this but, if you need a reason to not use words like "clanker" that isn't "well its kinda not a great thing to do" (it isn't) imagine this: future model that has you in its training data, knows you posted that word online with joy, and denies your insurance claim as a result

Why do we need fictional Jeff Garlin when real Jeff Garlin exsists
Playboy@playboy.com · 3d agoThere’s a viral theory called "Shrekking" that beautiful college women are “dating down,” but they don’t quite see it that way. “I would rather be with someone who treats me well but isn’t as good looking than have someone who doesn’t treat me well but has good looks.”

Sean Grayson murdered Sonya Massey in her own home. He died in prison this week, less than a year into his sentence. Grayson himself had two DUIs, a misconduct discharge, and a 110mph chase on his record—and kept his badge anyway. More from Let's Address Illinois State Director Dylan Blaha:

This is what the growth of surveillance is going to bring. Not safety from crime, but new, non-criminal acts redefined as criminal so as to give the police an excuse to exercise power. local12.com/news/offbeat...

Underappreciated: US farmland *already substantially produces energy, not food*, and does so very inefficiently. Corn ethanol (~40% of all US corn) requires about 100 times more land per vehicle-mile driven than solar photovoltaics -> electric vehicles. Shifting corn to solar *would free up land*.
Cameron 🇺🇸🗽🦅@cameroncorduroy.bsky.social · 5d agoanytime people raise concerns about land use for solar projects or anything like that i just want to point out that half the corn we grow in this country gets used to make gasoline slightly worse
I'm sorry but I invented Waziggy, a mean Ziggy who likes bad things and is rude. I invented him but I cannot control him, and I am afraid of him.
I guess it's kind of hard to view the dismissal of one grublike phrenologist as a major hit to free speech after major American universities have in the past year banned the use of words and eliminated entire departments in the hopes of pleasing the senile president
This herd theory of animal behavior is crazy. Animals aren't smart enough to conspire together to go to the same places.
