Increasingly clear that the future of the species hinges on the American/Israeli empire collapsing before the climate does

I want every trans person to outlive the political scum who deny them happiness.

Hey so just so people are aware, if they do this they will be signing off on killing me. I do not produce hormones since I had surgery and was assured I would have that medication for the rest of my life from them.

I have other means, a lot of people like me wont and will be very scared

I'm constantly mad about this. I've never hurt anyone writing fucky stories for perverts and we're watching the details of child sex abuse coming out for the first time done by the people who ruin the globe. I have to suffer for imagined harm - real harm done by Bill Gates is not to be considered.

People should not be quiet about the way that payment processors and governments alike are trying to eliminate all "nsfw" expression, and queer art of every stripe. Mastercard, Visa, Paypal, Stripe, are making creators and sex workers less safe at every opportunity and this assault must be stopped.

Mega Man 11 was a Union game, and had a Union contract and all its protections.

This means at some point Capcom actively chose to go back on a standard that had already been set and go BACK to NU (with no ENFORCEABLE protections).

Ben did not give this role up willingly. He’s trying to protect VO.

very aspect of life in this country is designed so that people do not form bonds or relationships with other people, it's wild to watch in action. Never seen divide and conquer applied this rigorously to a domestic population that is not under foreign occupation

It actually kicks ass how much the people who run this site hate the people who use it. Just constant seething meltdowns over having to put up with a bunch of artists, furries, and trans people instead of crypto-hustlers and AI guys making Linkedin-tier posts. I'm glad they're miserable, frankly

a thing historians will marvel about when they study this era is the extent to which the "war is a thing that happens to poorer, browner people" class went about systematically dismantling every aspect of the global political order that confined the costs of war to poorer and browner people

Why
‪@why.bsky.team‬
Until December of last year I was using LLMs as fancy autocomplete for coding. It was nice for scaffolding out boilerplate, or giving me a gut check on some things, or banging out some boring routine stuff.

In the past two months Claude has written about 99% of my code. Things are changing. Fast

I love all the wacky creatures in Mario, like Blargg from SMW, the classic Hammer Bro, Trunkle from Superstar Saga, and Photorealistic Tyrannosaurus Rex
