One thing I wish people would realize is just how central JK Rowling is to the entire anti-trans ecosystem. Looking at a network node analysis of the top 200 anti-trans X accounts, she is the most central figure spanning both sides of the Atlantic from Republicans to Labour.

In the meantime, you can access the censored Amnesty reports on gender critical groups here. Make sure they cannot erase these documents from the internet. Like a snowball. dn711306.ca.archive.org/0/items/amne... A growing threat. archive.org/download/rep...

This was document freely available and free to distribute. Lets preserve it the old fashioned way: magnet:?xt=urn:btih:eb3e6f89f9c71404643bc7b9bb6d74963017dda9&dn=Report_A_growing_threat_the_anti_rights_movement_in_the_UK_July.pdf Pop that into your friendly torrent program, no host to dmca.

I've never seen such an effort to censor a document as I have the Amnesty International report on gender critical groups because of JK Rowling. They removed the report from the Wayback Machine and now I got a DMCA strike on my Google Drive for having it. It was deleted and removed from my account.

After multiple examples of genAI art were found in NTE at launch, the devs removed the obvious stuff and insisted “none of the CHARACTERS were made with AI” and that was enough for influencers to go back to promoting it and insist they’d apologized and learned their lesson Nothing was learned.

The latest update to Neverness to Everness has an asset where they forgot to remove an AI watermark for the free version of Duobao. This is like asking GPT to draw a picture for you Chinese players aren’t mad at AI but using the free version makes you look cheap #NTE #gacha

Someone on strawpage asked me for some tips on how to draw slime so I put this together. I'm by no means an expert and still have a lot to learn but I hope some of you can find it useful ^^

there's a booth at a nearby farmer's market that has an AI generated logo and banner and packaging on their bbq sauce and it has *markedly* less people crowding around it. like i've noticed people take a good look at the booth and just walk away without even looking at their sauce

Alrighty then.

The term “transphobic” is so inadequate for bigotry like Hegseth’s. He doesn’t fear trans people like some fear spiders or heights. He hates them with a passion. It’s an evil choice, not a psychological malady.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth used a transphobic slur while speaking at the Iowa State Fair Monday, where he appeared in support of Republican Rep. Zach Nunn, who is running for a third term in Congress.

Glad to see some reporting on this. When I first posted on July 17 about these incidents where an airline worker is asked or tricked into helping ICE, person who told me was too afraid of being identifiable for me to report it out. Bottom line: If you are not a citizen, do not use US air travel rn.

“I know this is going to sound extremely radical, or crazy,” she recounted telling the woman, “but ICE is there at the gate, and they're looking for you."

NEW: According to HRC’s analysis of U.S. Census Bureau data, a record-high 12% of U.S. adults identify as LGBTQ+. 40 states, plus DC, have an LGBTQ+ population of more than 10%. LGBTQ+ people are not a niche constituency — and no campaign, brand, or employer can afford to treat us like one.

The NY Times writes that “Trump’s promises to restore fiscal order and reduce the amount of America’s debt burden have been hampered by spending on the Iran war, tax cuts and tariff refunds.” As if it’s just a run of bad luck instead of an ongoing con job against the American people.

points at sign: THE GAMES INDUSTRY’S CUSTOMER IS THE STOCK MARKET, NOT THE GAMER Live service games are seen as ‘worth the risk’ because when one blows up (Roblox, Fortnite, GTA Online) it makes so much money that it covers all previous failures and more. What gamers say is irrelevant to this.

Zack@zman990.bsky.social · yesterday

@alanahpearce.bsky.social As someone who knows more about the gaming industry, do the higher ups just don’t listen anymore or do they just have selective hearing? Do we need to throw physical money at them and tell them “we want just a single player game, no multiplayer.”

This is an article about how Fortune's Weave is only on Switch 2, something we have known literally since it's announcement. It's cool how 99% of video game news sites are just complete garbage now.

Just keeps happening, doesn't it? I'm gonna start making a thread of these. Stay safe out there, folks. And remember to never, ever, ever, ever vote for a Republican for any office.
