There is yoai everywhere for those with the eyes to see
my worry about ai isn’t that it will become sentient, it’s that the cognitive impact of outsourcing critical thinking to computers combined with the proliferation of slop making it increasingly challenging to validate information will dissolve society’s already-tenuous grasp on consensus reality
Trans rights are also an important barometer on if you actually believe people have a fundamental right to their own body and life. If you don’t support full access to transition care, how can I trust you when you claim to be in favor of protecting abortion rights? Or human rights in general?
Aranock, 4 of Ravens@aranock.bsky.social · 2d agoThere is something crushingly exhausting about how much time we as trans people have to spend arguing that our rights actually matter including to most of the self proclaimed cis allies. If you don't get why politicians throwing trans people under the bus is a bad move then fuck off forever ty
lesbian sex is like 9/11 in that if mark whalberg was there it would kinda put a stop to the whole thing
trying to get people to understand that the trans women in sports debate isn’t really about sports but a meta narrative pushed by the right all about slowly getting all trans people out of public life is truly impossible
I mean, sure, it's a strategy. The problem is that given the choice between a Republican and a Republican Lite, Republicans are still gonna vote for the Republican. Dipshit.
James Talarico@jamestalarico.bsky.social · 3d agoBREAKING: 20+ Republican leaders just endorsed our campaign for US Senate. We’re bringing Texans together onto one team to take power back for working people. Because the real fight in this country isn't left versus right — it's top versus bottom.
Paxton demonstrably sucks in every conceivable way and Talarico is doing everything in his power to say “I’m just like that guy”

While the direct and indirect results of his bigotry will have to be fought for years to come, it does bring me some small comfort that the only personal legacy he will leave behind is a stupid AI song used to rick roll people.
talia jane@taliajane.bsky.social · 3d agoPeople don’t care if they get doxxed or fired for making fun of Charlie Kirk’s death. They welcome it as a badge of honor, absurdifying fascism as a means of resistance.
Mamdani is a charismatic guy but I promise you anyone can replicate this. 1) Unapologetically use the government to help ordinary people; and 2) Tell them about it
It’s become more common to (accurately) call Israel’s crimes in Palestine a genocide, but we need more people to also recognize the trans genocide happening here in the US
Kasey Gifford@kaseygifford.bsky.social · 2w agoSomeday soon hes going to be over and trans folk will continue to exist and, hopefully, thrive, for as long as there are humans on this planet.
The value of Graham Platner is that right up until all his red flags came toppling down upon him is that he is the most naked example of the amount of grace & credibility Simply Being White grants you. Compared to Abdul El-Sayed, who has to re-earn every ounce of credibility he has on a daily basis.
My least controversial take is that we could genuinely save the world if we just casually talked like this about the white people in our lives. "As we embark upon 196 years since the start of The Trail of Tears, Mark told me he's thinking about getting a new lawnmower to trim ✌🏾his✌🏾 lawn."

Can we please stop glamorizing actors destroying their body so they look like a drawing? They’re going to go CG adjustments in post anyways so why make her throw up constantly?
DiscussingFilm@discussingfilm.net · 2w agoCallina Liiang says she grew her thighs by 6.5 centimeters in preparation for playing Chun-Li in ‘STREET FIGHTER’. “When I was bulking, I ate 12 eggs a day. Every two hours I had to have a meal, and I was on the verge of throwing up. But it worked.” (Source: www.ign.com/articles/chu...)

Ironic that I’m using the NYPD copaganda show but I still think it sums up my thoughts Any weapon fire represents a gross and tragic failure to deescalate the situation and should result in them no longer being cops at the very least

Probably the best photo I will ever take of a gang of thuggish ducks eating their way gradually but purposefully towards my face while looking strikingly like their dinosaur ancestors.
they called Obama a communist in 2008 and here we are, 18 years later having learned nothing, still shitting our pants over being called communists stop giving a shit what the right wing freaks are going to say about you and gain some principles to stand by
