“the thinker of tender thoughts” by shel silverstein [an illustration depicting a boy growing into a man. as he grows, his hair grows out as flowers. people laugh at him for it and he becomes sad. he starts trimming off the flowers, but as he reaches the last one he stops. he is then depicted with a smile and a flower in his buttonhole on his jacket.]

I need every single male artist that follows me to read this. It's not very long. You need to bear witness to this shit. You have to see it with your own eyes because you never will in your everyday life.

I'm serious, read it all please

I give up, Claude is conscious. Ergo AI developers must face imprisonment or execution for performing medical experiments on their living slave.

don’t forget to destroy your clocks tonight, walk away from your mortgage, just start driving, you’re free

the gambling epidemic is genuinely so real like sports are entirely gambling now video games are gambling toys are gambling they're still trying to push crypto somehow which is like if money was gambling

i genuinely miss when website sort of looked absolutely atrocious. everythings to clean and corporate now. theres no soul

The question is always "what if a kid is wrongfully transitioned" and never "what if a trans kid is denied the ability to transition and endures years of excruciating dysphoria and has to have multiple surgeries later in life to fix the issues caused by going through the wrong puberty."

Very strong statement from the First Lady of Iraq:

From FT comments

this should be the end of the Gavin Newsom 2028 discussion. the party has spoken, full stop

How to win in November

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

kill the imposter syndrome in you head because not only is there someone out there doing it worse than you, they're also using chat gpt to do it

Anyways.

What's scary about this story is the surveillance it hints at. This trans woman had changed her name, legally, but chose not to change her gender marker. She was apparently flagged in the DMV system as trans and her license was invalidated under a law that supposedly only concerned gender markers.

This is what happens when oligarchs control the *news*

if you’re cis and you don’t get it this is LITERAL TORTURE

it will result in dead trans people

and with their other goal of making us “sexually explicit” for existing

you see the pipeline right?

we exist -> we’re jailed for it -> we’re tortured and die

WE NEED YOU TO STOP THIS

It’s funny if you call PayPal or visa lines and bring this up asking why they claim “adult illustrations” is against their regulations but betting on the death of kids is totally fine. They don’t have an answer.

In fact yall should call them at least once a day with this :)

It’s insane this is legal. People around Trump are profiting off war and death. I’m introducing legislation ASAP to ban this.

imo the threat posed by CBS News and CNN getting absorbed by pro-regime billionaires isn't that they're going to produce right-wing slop that convinces people to be right-wing, it's the dismantling of newsrooms capable of doing investigative reporting on the administration. Fewer eyes on the street.

This is what I need cis folks to understand.

It's been a decade.

Imagine living TEN FUCKING YEARS watching as a blatant, artificial campaign to erase your personhood, your identity and your safety chugs along, increasing in power every single day, and most people don't care or dismiss it

the party that wants to require ID to vote abruptly invalidating a thousand people’s IDs overnight seems like a pretty giant flashing red light

I see you're interested in Dystopia but violence is a Hard No. I'm curious what your definition of Violence is?

Thank you!

Writer Friends, this is happening today! 📚

Don't be fooled by this bill's name-- this is a book banning bill that will exclude LGBTQ books from all public schools NATIONWIDE.

Call your congresspeople and tell them to VOTE NO on this nakedly bigoted book banning bullshit.

it's all just art. "porn" is just art that makes you horny, in precisely the way that "horror" is art that makes you scared and "metroidvania" is art that makes you write video essays

Oh hey, this sounds familiar encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/t...

The reason you can’t give a single inch on anything be it trans rights or dignity for unhoused people is that they, democrats and republicans alike, will take it and say thanks what else is in your pockets? They won’t say thanks actually.

Abortion was phase I, trans healthcare was phase II, birth control is phase III
