We've somehow backslid from "I don't know how to explain that you should care about other people" to "I don't know how to explain that you should care about the world you yourself live in"

I'm tired of being told cruelty and bloodlust and greed is just human nature by the like 0.0005 of guys who had to craft whole political empires around enabling their ideologies maybe that's your nature, I want to stay home and do nice things for people and not live in hellworld

Trans people are my allies and if my government chooses to see them as an enemy than the government is my enemy as well. Fuck the state. Fuck the creep pedophiles that run shit. We will win and we will make a better world with them not in it, and some day we will laugh and dance on their graves.

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

An administration driven by greed, cruelty, and frankly a sort of empty-hearted boredom. The death of innocents so they can beat their chests and line their already fat wallets. Whatever comes next has to at least look like justice. We cannot just turn the page for the sake of one party’s comfort.

BREAKING: Venezuela’s government has accused the US of launching attacks on civilian and military installations across several states, rejecting what it described as a "military aggression," according to an official statement. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/p3fqh2

Like I'm fascinating with the Larian thing mostly because I'm sure Vincke genuinely believed he and his team are using AI 'responsibly' - they're not releasing AI slop, everything released is "done by artists", etc. There's simply no interrogation with the philosophy the tool represents.

I am not sure CEOs (who mostly talk to moneymen and hang out on LinkedIn) fully understand how much the AI technology they and everyone in their circle agrees is the Next Big Thing is utterly loathed by the rest of the world. These are people resistant to the idea that tech can have an ideology.

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

SINCERE POST™️: you might be very angry tonight. don't let that anger eat you. that doesn't mean "don't be angry." just don't let it turn you to despair. anger in an energy, and you can use it as fuel for actions. As the saying goes, let this radicalize you
