Sorry but personally if a miniature horse woke me up from anesthesia by banging out nonsense on a miniature keyboard it would send me into a liminal space between life and death from which I would never return
This one just popped up on IG. Hadn’t seen it in a while, and it led me to look up whether Ari was on here. He is… and it looks like he hasn’t posted since right around the time this dropped. 🙃
this does make me wonder what a nonbinary soccer show would look like. sad murders? or a secret third thing? lacrosse?

THIS IS WHY!!!! WE CALL!!! GREAT JOB EVERYONE 🩷 KOSA did pass the house but remember the senate has a conflicting version. Keep calling, it matters!
Free Speech Coalition@fsc.bsky.social · 12h agoSCREEN Act, which would have required mandatory age-verification for sites (like this) that allow "material harmful to minors" failed to pass out of committee after thousands and thousands of people called their Senators. More work ahead!
meanwhile, the anti-trans lobby has gone straight from "we won't need toilet police" to "the toilet police will need much more funding" without missing a beat bsky.app/profile/hlee...

Gonna go out on a limb here and say racist cranks who write for extremist white nationalist websites like VDARE should not, in fact, be confirmed to top roles in the Department of Justice.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 10h agoSCHIFF: You told my staff you stood by your article in white nationalist website VDARE where you wrote, 'Muslim immigrants & their kids seem prone to terrorism' C: I wrote that article in support of Trump's travel ban S: Do you stand by it? C: I stand by that article S: That's all I need to know
the cool online kids are saying "good job, haley"

I've long suspected that the right's disdain for erotica (and the arts in general) is that it's one of the few avenues still theoretically available to the plebs for class mobility
Cargie@cargie.baby · 10h agoIt was NEVER about restricting pornographic material, it was about bringing it under the control of corporations, and removing the ability of independent NSFW artists, who are often queer, to make any kind of a living so they starve to death
The other day I was looking at Twitter (still gotta, unfortunately) and I got ads for AI apps that were like "you can take pictures of girls and make them kiss in bikinis!" just regular ads on the regular feed
Matt Burgess (WIRED)@mattburgess1.bsky.social · 11h agoNEW: Over the last few months, Meta has run dozens of paid ads that included AI-generated CSAM. The ads, some of which were linking out to “nudify” apps, targeted men in the US, UK, and a dozen European countries. Some were running in the last few days
The screen act was worse, but KOSA is still a death knell for LGBTQ speech on the internet.
Fight for the Future@fightforthefuture.org · 11h agoThe Senate Commerce Committee just passed KOSA out of committee with zero debate & failed to move the SCREEN Act. punchbowl.news/article/tech...

Like, the fact that there are so many people out there that have leaned so hard on ai thinking for them that they CAN'T do without is one of the VERY THINGS WE WARNED ABOUT A FEW YEARS AGO.

My answer is LOL ROFL (dickbrain) The terminally AI-pilled can't even *imagine* some people have *never* asked stochastic parrots to cheat at their job for them.
To all the vegetarians, or people who think the cattle industry has a negative impact on the environment, I have one question: Could you go an entire day without eating any bacon, chicken, beef, or any type of meat? Imagine everywhere only stocked vegetarian alternatives - how would you cope?

When Trump wins by 2% it's the unanimous Mandate of Heaven for the next 1,000 Year Reich, but when one dude in a Dem primary can't get shooed offstage despite being outspent by a factor of 8.75 fair and square, suddenly it's "divisive?" OK!1!!!1!
SARS-CoV-2 did not come from a lab. There is no evidence pointing to laboratory origins. There’s been a massive disinformation campaign to convince the public otherwise. It’s scary how effective that campaign has been.
All of these names are killing words and you should have them all blocked if you value your sanity
Arguing with shitheads on social media doesn’t accomplish anything. Nothing at all! You are harming your own mental health by constantly fighting with assholes whose ideas you hate! I’ve done it. I’ve been there. Learn from my mistakes!

Oh my god the dietician who is telling everyone in the White House to only eat steak and sauerkraut doesn't wipe his ass.
okay but, this is the way we fight AI in everyday life we need to foster an atmosphere of disgust and repulsion of AI, like AI is like seeing a roach in a google review. Get up and leave the restaurant. "um, I just saw some AI stuff, I just... I dunno, it's gross haha. I'm good. thanks. Thank you"
jess m. 🌤️@jametc.bsky.social · yesterdaywe need to be normies about this and be like "EEEWW... IS THAT AI? THAT'S SO GROSS.... EW IT LOOKS SO GROSS (gag noise) UM, LET'S GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. EW LOL" normalize being outwardly repulsed by it physically
1) There are very few instances in which anyone *should* do that. 2)
