there was also a Stanford study that found that a surge in AI slop by lazy people actually created significantly more work for others who had to decipher and correct it
this "I'm being efficient" (but not really) vibes well with the American obsession with artifice and appearing productive
The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention “believes that the U.S. is squarely within the early to middle stages of a genocidal process against trans people, the goal of which is to completely erase transgender people not only from public life but also from existence in the U.S. & globally”
Ruaa is permanently banned from bsky, which means her mother’s severe injury is going without sufficient care.
We’re trying to change this equation througj recurring help. Can you click “monthly” on a coffee so her survival doesn’t depend on visibility?
god finding this is like stumbling across a buried USB drive in the woods. bizarre
bluesky is where it is today solely on the efforts of the courageous artists drawing the horniest gay art ever to grace a timeline 🫡
It’s a bit like how we didn’t ‘overfind’ more stars when telescopes were invented. Why has going after neurodivergent people become a national sport? www.independent.co.uk/bulletin/new...
This is your friendly regular reminder that "porn addiction" is not real but a right wing moral panic, and the vast majority of people who have perfectly healthy porn habits self-describe as "addicts" despite showing no addictive behaviours because of cultural shame around porn and sex.
congratulations!!! 😌
@JDfromscrubslol Had a dream there was an emoji like 💯 except it was only 60. Some post said "popeyes fries be tasting so good (60)" and I laughed so hard I woke myself up
Thinking about the 60 emoji again
Tweet from matt (@mattxiv): using the passive "dead" and the active "killed" in the SAME HEADLINE is absolutely diabolical Quoted tweet from Sky News (@SkyNews): Latest attacks in Lebanon leave nearly 400 dead as two Israeli soldiers killed trib.al/xORAqhP
Like at this point it’s no secret to the people writing these headlines that this kind of thing has been roundly criticized for years and years. It’s an intentional, conscientious decision on their part. They know they’re propagandists (and, for better or worse, we all are!).
has bombing a populace from the outside ever spurred that populace to rise up against their own government or is that just a thing we pretend happens even though it never does
Anti-trans scum attacking a young female MP on International Women’s Day under the guise of “protecting women”!!! 😣😖
You couldn’t make this sh*t up! 😤
GENDER CRITICAL TRANSPHOBES DO NOT GIVE A DAMN ABOUT WOMEN!
THEY’RE PART OF A VIOLENT ANTI-GENDER CULT!
Every so often I remember the Irish immigration system is so dysfunctional that the Brazilian community here had to set up a WhatsApp group to help find each other after the DoJ kept returning their passports to the wrong people #speirghorm

it's deliberate chemical warfare. they are gassing the civilians of tehran. they can get away with this & the slow escalation of more destructive weapons with "plausible deniability" b/c they are aware their civilian populations are either entirely pacified or powerless to oppose
Genocide, with a serving of ecocide on the side.
But enjoy your photo op with Trump, @micheal-martin.bsky.social - that's all that matters, isn't it?
idk I’ve seen a bajillion kids movies where the kids parents die & let me tell you, having a convo with my kid about how anyone can die at any time & it doesn’t matter if they’re someone’s mom or dad is way harder than having a convo about how sometimes someone has two dads or whatever. And yet
“It was devastating to learn, right from the start, that women were open targets for disrespect and harassment –– even at a world-renowned workplace in the most liberal-leaning city in the country. I was likewise told to steer clear of a particularly chauvinistic male lead in my department.”
Investors: "Anyway, we were so impressed that we invested the entire planets' economy in this, if it fails you're all cooked."
I have more in common with any Iranian than with any of the ghouls who have run my country my whole life
Local paper ran a story about Ludovic's detention by ICE. Seeing the photos of his empty apartment with trophies from tournaments I attended or watched gives it all another dimension. This guy has a life, friends and did everything he was asked to do.
Abolish and prosecute is the bare minimum.
Anderson Cooper: “So it's more expensive to have a chronically homeless person living on the streets than it is to actually subsidize an apartment for them?”
Answer: “Yes, we’re paying more as taxpayers to walk past that person on the street and do nothing.” #HousingFirst #UrbanTruth
Lebanon Solidarity Collective https://chuffed.org/project/lebanonsolidarity We are an independent network of people and grassroots organizers residing in Lebanon, providing direct mutual aid and on-the-ground support. This collective is built from long relationships anchored in trust, collaborative action and care extended over many years across different communities in Lebanon. Our collective believes in direct mutual aid to the most impacted parts of our beloved communities in a way that preserves peoples' dignity and agency. We are inviting you, our broader communities, to join us in these efforts and fortify our networks of care and resistance in this time of urgency. PLEASE CONTRIBUTE AND CIRCULATE WIDELY
UPDATE AS OF March 3, 2026: Lebanon is currently being carpet bombed by the Zionist state. We are back to our emergency response work and in dire need of funds. We are directing all incoming funds to these two avenues: • To directly support displaced families and individuals that we have initiated mutual aid relationships with over the past 2+ years of aggression. • To fortify other trusted mutual aid efforts on the ground who are supporting recently displaced people, including migrants, refugees, and others who lack financial means and access to resources. * Please note: 90% of prior funds raised were already delegated to earlier emergency response and bioremediation efforts in the south. We are starting from scratch; all generosity and support is deeply needed and appreciated. Please circulate widely.

Welp. The internet had a nice run.
Some outlets have lost over 90% of their traffic since the "AI" summaries rolled out.
"...the four worst-hit publications [now] get less monthly web traffic combined than the r/ChatGPT subreddit gets on its own."
ian huntley is dead. i'll always remember how the british press attempted to incite hatred against the trans community by reporting he was transitioning, then apologised to him for incorrect reporting instead of apologising to trans people
