when was the last time the NYT moved you through its journalism, or led a breaking story of note? drop it. drop it and the games and the opinion pieces and stop enabling a tool *that used to not suck* that is now a soft power for trans genocide. save your monthly sub or send it to a trans person.

"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.

Zero tolerance for even the most passive rehabilitation of that disgusting fucking freak, who has dedicated millions of dollars and her entire existence to destroying and torturing everyone I love, just because she gave some mealy-mouthed insincere PR statement about "trans adults".

This is insane, and I’m tired of fighting with my own brain trying to rationalize it like “well this is the world we live in today” I DON’T CARE IT’S STILL FUCKING INSANE and I cackle like a supervillain whenever one of these ghouls gets caught being a dickwaffle www.404media.co/show-how-3m-...

electric shock gloves are only cool when Batman uses them in Arkham Origins to stop and then restart Bane's heart so that he technically hasn't violated his no-kill rule

Am I forever salty that Kida, a literal princess, is not included among the official Disney Princesses? Yes. If my other best girl Mulan (& third in command Jasmine) can make it in Kida should too!!!!

Yuuuup. Understanding how LLMs and generative "AI" work is not some sort of secret knowledge, nor at its heart an unenduringly complex topic, and it turns out writers, who generally how to do research, are in a good position to get a bead on them.

I’m so tired of genAI apologists telling me I only hate it because I don’t understand it. I hate it *because* I understand it, you absolute toenail.

Stole this from the comments because this shit shouldn't be behind a paywall.

if the moderate wing of the Dem party would spend even half of the energy they are spending fighting the DSA on fighting Trump they wouldn't be losing so many primaries to the DSA

I'd love to credit whoever wrote this. No idea. But I'm 100% with its message. When I think of how the '80s ethos, "Greed is Good" has metastasized, it surprises and depresses me. Imagine having so many millions, hundred of millions, even billions & caring about nothing except your own vanity.

Me: idk, I know I have CP but idk if I’m comfortable saying I’m on the autism spectrum, people already think the “label” is “””overused””” Also me: acquires vocal stims from bird videos on the internet Brain gremlin: the jury’s still out

Basic rules of society that we need to re-establish post Covid: - You actually have to stop for red lights and stop signs. - If you want to watch videos or listen to music in a shared public space, you need to use headphones. - Your pet does not need to go everywhere with you. - Don’t litter.

When you find a game that’s so damn pretty you want to stream it, but you also just wanna play it by yourself, but there’s only one save file so you can’t have a streaming file and a solo file and you don’t feel like waiting but also kind of want to stream it but you’re tired…

Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."

Every now and then someone takes a run at me along the lines of "I don't understand why you, a scifi writer, don't appreciate 'AI'," and I'm all, motherfucker, it's *because* I'm a science fiction writer I have the positions I have, how many times do we have to fucking yell "torment nexus," my dude

when you realize Shelley Burman’s “my tongue.., is asleep. And my teeth. itch” skit absolutely is a real thing except you are neither A: hungover, or B: high …I’m sick. Not only does my head and face hurt but all my teeth do too AND they’re “asleep”, fuck sinus congestion

and if it doesn’t we are officially well and truly cooked.

Can't think of a thing that will radicalize a generation faster than "you've gotta let that old man in the corner over there see what's inside those pants before you play Kindergarten volleyball."

Insane that democrats keep trying to cave on this issue rather than amplifying the fact that it’s being spearheaded by bigots and freaks

An initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play

the wnba alienating their core audience for the sake of people who wouldn’t watch a wnba game to save their child’s life is a bold gambit, to be sure

I and many of my friends stream on Twitch. I say, *absolutely the fuck not*. Friends who stream on Twitch, there is a comment thread here where you can make your voices heard: twitch.uservoice.com/forums/92338... This is the *least* they can do.

Twitch and Amazon are apparently planning to use streams to train Generative AI. Multiple sources tell me it will be announced in the coming months, despite some internal friction against it. Creators may be able to opt out of some training data.
