Queer people are being legislated out of existence for being obscene and dangerous to children. Meanwhile child rapists are making the world safer for other child rapists. This cannot possibly be real, I must have fucking died and I'm actually in hell right now

Woke up to this news and I’m beyond disgusted. It’s a US *constitutional right* now to create and own ‘CSAM,’ as long as it was made with AI?? AI gen images are built from real images, of real children. This directly re-exploits every single CSAM survivor. (More in 🧵) #abolition #trafficking

A federal judge has ruled that the First Amendment protects an individual's right to privately possess child sexual abuse content created using Al if it does not depict a real person and remains in the home. On Tuesday, Judge John Z. Lee of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th District ruled that the First Amendment protects an individual's right to privately possess images or videos of child sexual abuse created using artificial intelligence if the material does not depict a real person and remains in the home. In his ruling, Judge Lee urged the Supreme Court to reconsider the issue of virtual abuse material of children in the age of Al, suggesting that technological advances complicate existing legal precedent. The case Lee ruled on came about in 2024 when the Department of Justice brought charges against Steven Anderegg, alleging that he used Al to create thousands of explicit images of children. He was accused of breaking federal obscenity laws by producing, distributing and possessing obscene visual depictions of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct. Anderegg sought to have the possession and production charges dismissed under the First Amendment. Last year, a judge in the Western District of Wisconsin agreed to dismiss the possession charge, prompting the federal prosecutors to appeal. Lee, in his ruling upholding the lower court's decision, cited the precedent set by Supreme Court rulings from 1969 and 2002. One held that individuals have a right to possess obscenity in the privacy of their home. The other found that "virtual" child sexual abuse material, not depicting a real person is not child pornography.

Some people might not be aware, but it is entirely possible that without Dolly Parton we wouldn’t have had a COVID vaccine. She partly funded Moderna’s research and gave the largest individual contribution to make it all happen. Just gives you an idea of the kind of person she was.

Ansel Adams on assignment for IBM - one of my favourite shots. Not the usual landscape but the skill of a woman weaving magnetic core memory. The beat up nails captures total “woman in STEM” vibes.

K that last post was funny and all but who here wouldn't watch the SHIT out of a Bond movie set in The Armory from the kink.com days. I mean they already had that cbt scene in Casino Royale but hear me out.

I forgot how much Devo's Freedom of Choice album absolutely SLAPS. I've had music that brought me to other dimensions but this is one of the greatest albums of all time and nothing matches the experience of listening to it on vinyl in a room with windows open and fresh air pouring in.

"AI" has existed in its current form for barely four years and the fact that it's jammed up the cognitive development of an entire generation that fast (and that there's a specific overclass of techofascists who are deeply thrilled about this) is a big damn red flag. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/17/u...

Educators are worried that many students can no longer write essays without A.I. And it’s costing more than just grammar skills.

Shoutout to the Body Politic's Gaylup Poll from the third issue. I do find it interesting that amongst the options, they ask if their readers are transsexual. They were conscious of transsexuals being part of the community as early as 1972.

I used to believe that online activism didn't accomplish anything, but I'm changing my tune. There is one form that seems effective: publicly praising people who commit crimes you support.
