At least @abdulelsayed.bsky.social won last night. And that gibbering weirdo had enough character to concede. I’ve never donated to a political campaign either so I guess that needs to happen.
Of all the promises big tech makes, it can’t even do porn right. Man, stick a fork in it, for real.
AI smut is really not the biggest issue facing us right now, i'm just mad that it's (A) NOT GOOD and (B) SOMEHOW EXEMPT FROM THE ANTI-PORN MORAL PANIC SO SOON IT WILL BE YOUR ONLY CHOICE
Meta has made it repeatedly clear that one of their growth strategies is sexualizing kids. Mark Zuckerberg and his leadership team deserve to face personal liability for this, and the company deserves sanctions up to and including corporate dissolution
Over the last nine months, Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta has run dozens of paid ads that include explicit AI-generated child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and images of minors alongside sexually suggestive statements, according to details of the ads shared with WIRED.

I voted for @abdulelsayed.bsky.social in the Michigan primary. It’s the first time I’ve ever voted in a primary. Have you gotten to polls yet?
I had a dream last night where I was invited to visit Ursula Le Guin at her house. She was busy writing, but was able chat while she worked. Before I awoke she offered me some copies of her books.
Michigan, this is OUR moment. Vote Tuesday, August 4th.
SE Michigan is the pro-union, home of union, take back our representation epicenter. Vote on August 4th.
One section of Detroit could soon have one of America’s most progressive delegations, from City Hall to the U.S. Senate. Standing in the way is a wall of money from corporations, billionaires, pro-Israel groups and secretive political organizations. www.metrotimes.com/news/this-se...
My 1st RPG book ever has gone GOLD on DriveThruRPG. Angels, Daemons & Beings Between, vol. 2: Elfland Edition has 14 full #dccrpg patron write-ups that are all elven and fey in aspect. I drew from Norse, Germanic and Celtic literature plus heaps of Appendix N fiction. drivethrurpg.com/product/234019
The whole point of the Bill of Rights is to protect the only true minority - the individual. It limits the governments power to harm the individual. The whole constitution is designed to limit the governments power.
Make sure to participate in your state primary. This is how we get our representation back. Vote on August 4th.
No corporation or corporate PAC should be able to buy a seat in Congress.
it’s crazy that Sam Altman didn’t go to turbo prison for 10,000 years the first time someone killed themselves because of ChatGPT
Why are Abdul El Sayed and Mamdani so utterly terrifying to the Democratic Establishment and its corporate donors? Ask yourselves.
“Left’s loyalty to the party is taken for granted, whereas centrists must be won over and catered to. A dynamic that, conveniently, works out well for Wall Street, Corporate America” Vote blue no matter who what we’re told. Centrist Asshats.
Centrists in Congress (anonymously) threatening to leave this Democratic Party. James Carville calling for a schism. Top Dems refusing to endorse Dem primary winners. Pouty (also anonymous) pro-Israel donors in MI calling for a donor strike—I wrote about the emerging centrist Uncommitted Movement.
Americans go home and lull themselves into the cocoon of Netflix, sports — whatever and purposely tune out from the daily juggernaut of this authoritarian regime. We are not in normal times. We should be marching every day and night. Before it’s too late.
I’m finally cooking again. Putting some last touches on a new 0-level gig inspired by a Harley Stroh cyberpunk adventure he presented about 4-5 years ago. 5k words in the can. Simple set-up and I hope fun. Running it in the #dccrpg Wizard Van at Gen Con on Friday! #imwiththevan #netcrawl
Quick PSA for all your medieval linen coifs, up until the 15th century, no loose laces in the sources! ☝️
Gov. Andy Beshear is (finally) calling out Mitch McConnell:
I’m voting. My kids are voting. Make sure people around you get to the polls on August 4th.
Listen to the OG Bernie Sanders. This is how we win next week.
FYI there is no "real" reason why Rome "fell." Its power waned for the usual, mundane reasons: widening gap between rich and poor, inability to maintain infrastructure, incompetent leadership, pointless wars, endless persecution of marginalized groups who performed vital labor, etc.
Michigan peeps: Vote for Abdul El-Sayid on August 4th (a week from Tuesday). Otherwise we get that twitchy weirdo representing us for SIX years.
Cannot get over how electable just drifting away from a constituent who asked you a challenging question makes you.
*Actual "cyberpunk media" is some text that's xeroxed and stapled to a telephone pole, but yeah, there's kind of a lot of the gold-plated stuff lately
We're getting Neuromancer and Blade Runner 2099 tv shows in 2027. It's truly the golden age of cyberpunk media.
