“Everything is 40% more expensive because of AI” is a great line for an opposition party trying to unseat the AI-supported incumbents, if any Democratic consultants wanted to take a short break from dehumanizing trans kids to actually try winning a contested election.

The Steam Frame starts at $1,059, but it was probably supposed to cost about $750, as the RAM crisis continues to raise prices. https://t.co/Oq9XUHM630

it should be mentioned that the 2014 status quo for trans people still meant that we had suicide risks, unemployment numbers, life expectancy, poverty risk that were way worse than the average person, and somehow asking for this is seen as frivolous luxury and purity testing

🦇 You want a real compromise from trans people? Promise to restore all the rights we had in 2014 that we don't today. That's it. Just bring us back to where we were. That's the bare fucking minimum. You know what I don't see any libs offering us? The rights that have been taken from us restored.

It's very funny that so many average people, not in any position in the media or politics, feel the need to volunteer unprompted that they are willing to sacrifice the rights or lives of a particular group of people. Thanks man. Thanks for letting us know.

There’s a lot going on right now, and Susan Collins is hoping voters won’t notice that she was the deciding vote in confirming another anti-abortion Trump judge to a lifetime appointment.

My Ghanaian PhD student got married during his studies then had his kids in Oz after completing his PhD. He worked on a QLD based COVID vaccine attempt during the pandemic. Not exactly ‘unpatriotic’. But he’s now moved to London to work for CEPI (not that we care about pandemic preparedness!)

The whole liberal "life in the US is actually good now stop complaining" thing was extremely annoying in like 2022, now in a country where a fascist government is rounding people up as we speak, throwing them into camps, and then shipping them out of the country it Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Here’s a point I want to make, for the sake of building solidarity If selling out trans kids works, the democrats will sell out other people too They’ve sold out black folk before. I remember talk during 2024 before Biden dropped out about how Harris couldn’t be the candidate because she was black

The TUC, congress of all the UK's trade unions, have voted to condemn the EHRC guidance and backed self-ID. Good luck finding reporting on it, you'll struggle to find it, even as the papers report on plenty of other things the TUC has voted on, and speeches. leftfootforward.org/2026/09/tuc-...

There are 750 screens in the film market labeled "the Caribbean". A majority Black audience and Black-led films do well there. Not tracked by Box Office Mojo or The Numbers. Should be listed under "international". If tracked, it'd prove Black-led casts to be more lucrative & we'd get more.

9/11 jokes are like Charlie Kirk jokes in the sense that they probably never would have taken off like they did if the seriousness of the subject hadn't been wielded as a cudgel to demand obedience to the state, which is of course the stuff oppositional defiant disorders are made of

That’s such an important point. There was a case here where a quadriplegic man went to the ER and was denied a special mattress and wasn’t regularly turned. He developed horrible pressure sores and ended up doing MAiD because he “didn’t want to be a burden”. That ER made him feel like a burden

hey why is no one talking about the licensing situation with this A24/SCP thing? are they releasing it under the same cc-by-sa license every SCP project is required to have? are they betting creative commons won't hold up in court? seems like the kind of question a journalist should look into idk

i saw a post onhere earlier which said that earlier games reviewers (90s/00s) used the whole scale where a 5/10 meant that a game was average and that just wasnt my experience reading game reviews in the 00s. a game being functional basically got it to a 5

touch grass is a psyop to convince us that grass lawns are a natural and acceptable form of groundcover. touch local flora. touch the face of someone who loves you. touch the edges of your own subjectivity. you are a bee, searching for the things that your body knows would be here, in a softer world

Please read this whole thread. It’s a very good depiction of how community care looks right now. Please be ready to show the same care.

Friday morning, I was gardening when I checked my phone. A request had gone out for help. For 25+ hours, ICE had been laying siege to a quiet neighborhood in Frederick, MD. Community members were afraid, some didn’t want to leave their homes. ICE vehicles seemed to be lurking on every corner.

"don't go out of your way to keep reading this one specific children's book" is such a low-lift ask that, if trans folks can't even expect that of you, then they have no reason to believe you'll show up when something harder needs to be done

look, "buying used copies to read to my children" is nice, in theory. but if you're willing to put your blinders on to purchase a terrible book series for your children, we both know you're not going to stop there. in 3 months they'll be watching the show and in 6 they'll be at Harry Potter Land.

Anyone else sick of the trope where a character just… does something? The creator of the media literally has them do something. Then of course after that they do something else (another trope I hate.)

I’m really falling apart over here. The long covid is very much long coviding on all fronts. Mental, physical & spiritual pain & fatigue. I have been through A LOT in my life but nothing could have prepared me for this. This is hell. Spare yourself further possible harm. Wear an N95 mask.

bluesky absolutely has a hall monitor formerly precocious reply guy issue and it def hits everyone but one thing i think not everyone realizes is how much more often people of color are getting talked down to, over, corrected, and condescended to on here. by the worlds *most* annoying people.
