Being uncomfortable is not the same as being harmed.
This administration is committing Watergate level crimes multiple times per week—and those are the ones we know about. It’s crazy to think about what else will come out after.
It’s absolutely essential these criminals are held responsible for their crimes. We must end elite impunity.
Cities in Vermont and Maine are experiencing some of the same tactics that ICE has been using across Minnesota since December, and facing lots of resistance.
Spaces for kids have been destroyed or re-worked into stores, adult spaces aren't allowed to be actually "adult" lest we anger the CC companies, and supposedly neutral spaces are full of gambling/porn ads, disinformation, and right-wing pipelines. An internet that is increasingly not for anyone.
the lengths blizzard entertainment went to in order to ruin consumer trust in order to make a dollar should be studied because what the fuck happened. no seriously what the fuck happened
100,000 trans people & allies fill central London for Trans Pride.
Mainstream media: nothing
Thousands of trans people & allies fill Wembley Arena for pro-trans gig with massive names like Sophie Ellis-Bextor & Sugarbabes.
Mainstream media: nothing.
This is what extreme media bias looks like.
Hi everyone. My girlfriend @medleypone.bsky.social is in need of help. gofund.me/496b99124
She was arrested from her job at *major store that operates out of Arkansas and has Mart in their name*. A customer threatened to kill her, and in an attempt to get him to leave, she ran a cart into his car.
We can afford to house people.
We can afford to feed people.
We can afford to give people healthcare.
The money is there. We just need to put people in office who will do it.
Remember, these bills are supported by a group of sexually-repressed, far-right hateful bigots that want to terminate our freedom to write queer and NSFW fiction stories and visual art (as well as freedom of expression in general). So don't stop calling your lawmakers like hell everyday! #SaveSpeech

Privacy is a central concern for survivors of domestic violence.
Massachusetts lawmakers must pass strong, enforceable privacy law.

I am not going to watch the videos of the DOGE kids getting deposed because I don't need an excuse to become enraged, but I'm glad their faces are out there and hope that they struggle to find gainful employment for the rest of their lives.
The government is asking for public comments on whether banks should be able to deny you from buying legal goods at their own whim (i.e. how they're cracking down on art)
Tell them you don't want to be told how to spend your money

Reminder that the only time Mastercard has flinched is when outrage was directed at them. Attacking platforms like SubscribeStar for Visa/Mastercard's extralegal censorship is exactly the deflection they want.
I turn 53 at the end of the month and don't have much time left on this smoldering blue marble, but rest assured, I'll spend it not forgiving or forgetting where all of these people stood when it mattered
so many people need to be told that self loathing isn't humility
I'd like to introduce you to Robo the Fan.
I heard you like FEEEESH? I've added bucket hats! These soft hats are easy to squash in a suitcase, washable, and great for putting down a little seat and fishing in completely normal spaces, such as: volcanoes, the edge of space, and fantasy Arizona.

This is the best lede I've seen in a tech story in...years? There should be an award just for ledes.
So Ko-Fi has confirmed they're not bringing back the search/marketplace feature. All discovery has to be done on your own, which super sucks.
For any fans of Ko-Fi creators, now more than ever, word of mouth would really help! It's free to do and can make a big difference for those creators.
Screenshot of a Tweet by @TheChiefNerd inclusing an interview with Sam Altman. The text in the Tweet says: SAM ALTMAN: “We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter.”
The whole "AI" industry is just based on the hope that they can deskill people fast enough that they'll have to rent back cognitive support systems. Forever.
It's like Uber. Just that they don't try to break existing transportation infrastructures but your brain.

We think OpenAI’s deal with the building trades is a cynical attempt to divide regular people who are fighting to stay afloat in an increasingly unequal, unaffordable world – a world that Big Tech helped create. www.axios.com/2026/03/11/o...
What’s your favorite video game for when you fall and break your elbow and only have one good hand? Asking for a husband.
worth remembering, David Lynch directed “fix your hearts or die” specifically at transphobes. it wasn’t a generic “no mean people allowed” statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.
A meme against paypro censorship with the MasterCard logo. The red section says "We Hate Gay People," the yellow section says "We Hate Women's Bodies," the middle reads: "We Fucking Hate You." Text: "There are some things money can't buy, hating artists and women's bodies? Priceless."
oh fuck yeah. the mid gatsby
SubStar walking back their new rules against feral/furry porn is not a win and shouldn't be considered one. They're hoping y'all take that and don't care about all the other harmless (but taboo) stuff they have banned since you get to keep your furry yiff.
