Any one of you who still thinks there is a single bit of difference between this place and X is in for a rude, rude awakening

Anti-trans Democrats are spreading poison when we can least afford it, during elections in this ongoing fascist takeover. As a strategy, it’s a recipe for failure. As a moral stand, it’s reprehensible. PS I’m the father of young trans woman and I’ll never forgive anyone who makes her life harder.

I've mentioned before I've updated my contracts to make sure everything in the production of my books is done by humans and not "AI"; if you're wondering what such a thing looks like, here's a clause covering that from a recent contract.

Your Harry Potter dollars funded this.

Shooting at a car to stop a shoplifter is not justified. Even if no one was harmed, let alone shooting to death a 1 year-old baby.

ICYMI an Israeli company hijacked online ads to track millions of devices and open the door to zero-click spyware, with our nuclear science agency, critical infrastructure and newsrooms compromised. This is a big deal.

#auspol What kind of politician won't vote to end the depraved & dangerous policy of handcuffing women to metal bars while they are labouring, giving birth and trying to hold their baby? May your pointless cruelty corrode your mental health & haunt you always. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

“The internet is a store but it used to be a library” hits me like a slug to the chest

you can't be serious. This reads Meta/Facebook/Insta is looking to grant itself the rights to scrape websites across the open web - and train Meta's AI - if a company after Oct 30, 2026 uses Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp or other Meta services. So every biz. Read that again. Outrageous. 1/5

Allowing this dead-company-walking to be bailed out again, instead of taking it into Special Administration and then permanent public ownership, would be a disgrace and a betrayal by the Andy Burnham government Enough is enough.

"This fucking douchebag wants to buy your government" is the sort of thing anyone who wanted to win would hammer over and over

I just want some dems to come out and say with conviction that racism is bad and transphobia is bad and ableism is bad and homophobia is bad and fuck, it seems like almost none are doing that.

When Grammy-winning musician Rhiannon Giddens begins playing “Old Corn Liquor,” a traditional Black American folk tune, acclaimed Chinese pipa virtuoso Wu Man recognizes similarities to Chinese pentatonic music and spontaneously joins in. The joy on their faces says it all.

I left X *because* I had a large following. People told me I was the reason they were staying on there, and I didn’t want to be responsible for 100k+ people sticking around for abuse, CSAM, and Nazis. Simple as that

We’re looking into the ways health insurers’ use of prior authorization — the extra layer of approval insurers require before covering a medical expense — impacts patients. We need your help. 👇

AI is now the biggest investment in all of US history as a percentage of GDP. Datacenter construction is up, all other construction is down. "AI Is Squeezing Out the Rest of the Stock Market," reported WSJ 2 days ago. We basically bet the whole economy on the most optimistic visions panning out.

How extremely embarrassing to tell a Pope he can't speak on a topic because you're acting like the shittiest incarnation of a different Dead Pope while claiming to be a Michelangelo, who doesn't even exist in the equation this time, because you're asking Clippy to do it.

Ooof fucking course it won't include disabled people under 65, because showing empathy and concern towards us would be inconceivable. 🤬 I don't personally need care services yet but abandoning a third of the people using the adult care system purely for not being pension-age is so morally bankrupt.
