Last year, I filed an improvement request on the Firestorm Viewer's JIRA for #SecondLife. It encompasses several important photographer-friendly enhancements for the viewer's Poser facility. It's right here, still WIP. Feel free to upvote & watch it! jira.firestormviewer.org/browse/FIRE-...

this is the kind of thing @nytimes.com needs to do more of, and less of the cowardly "on the one hand, on the other" stuff...

Sunday’s vote decides who leads Brazil — but questions about tech companies including Meta as “stewards of civic spaces” will outlast the election and reverberate well beyond Brazil, writes Daniel Arnaudo, a researcher at the School of Communication, Media and Information at Fundação Getulio Vargas.

Klingt logisch... 🤔

We are proud to endorse @heskethforcongress.bsky.social in #MO07! Missi Hesketh has spent her career in public service, as a former mayor and educator. She's running because Southwest Missouri deserves a representative who answers to its people, not to a foreign lobby.

Insulating Britain’s homes and investing in heat pumps would do more to cut the cost of living, create jobs and boost the UK’s economy than drilling for new oil @e3g.bsky.social

ITV footage shows racist, sexual, violent rhetoric among Reform members. These lunatics say “King Charles is a f***ing Muslim… " and want him to be beheaded. They want concentration camps for migrants, violence against minorities. Return of the Nazis, 100 years after the Cable Street resistance.

This is where we are after two years of Europeans groveling to Trump. Europe has to change tack and start putting serious pressure on the US and on Putin. The US cannot both be a dominant NATO member and side with Putin. Europe has leverage, it should use it.

The entertainment giant hopes to get trust and safety tech, among other IP, from a startup whose chatbots dozens of states allege encouraged minors to self-harm and kill their parents.

Putting everything else aside for a second, it's an emergency ward? They are A) often mixed sex, and B) not noted for the agility and moxie of their patients. You have memed yourself into believing in monsters.

"I had to stay with my Mum in an emergency ward because my mum might have been scared by a trans person being there, who may or may not have actually been trans." Is the sort of moral panic logic that should be inexcusable from our elected officials, actually.

PSA to all political parties, especially small, ostensibly tech-savvy ones (such as Pirate parties):

"‘Secretary of Cuck’: How Marco Rubio Learned to Love Waging Trump’s War on the World" Rubio was once a supposedly reasonable Republican, even the GOP’s ‘savior.’ Now he’s Donald Trump’s ‘Narco Rubio’ and overseeing a level of violence his staffers are terrified to question internally. From Zeteo:

Trump breaks completely with Zelensky and Zelensky calls it betrayal. All while Trump conspires to ease sanctions on Russia to America's financial benefit while the war on Ukraine continues. Plus a Zacharia update. Mine with @mrjamesob.bsky.social earlier @lbc.co.uk www.youtube.com/watch?v=whc5...

this is brilliant from Zack Polanski. exactly the robustness we need. right to point out the injustice of locking up pensioners for speaking out against genocide

Researchers at The Citizen Lab have for the first time released technical evidence of sophisticated mercenary spyware being distributed via online advertising.

Thank you, Pete Hegseth, for so perfectly embodying what I’ve long said: it’s easier to see fascists and zealots when they don’t look like you. www.feministgiant.com/p/essay-21st...

🚨 WTF! Trump's new White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia has been EXPOSED promoting Pizzagate and QAnon conspiracy theories—including claims that Democrats are child-eating cannibals. And her posts about Trump's secret signals are even more bizarre.

Remember, just because your party's members ONCE decided to call a genocide a genocide after MONTHS of "deliberation" doesn't let you off the hook. Especially when you keep the same genocide deniers in leadership positions, even though they're as inept as they come.

Bi the way... I wonder... When Israel starts livestreaming executions of Palestinians, will @piratenpartij.nl's leadership (Wijnans, Van Treuren) & oldbies like Dekkers continue claiming it's "antisemitic" to call it out?

The U.S. is fourth only to Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Yemen in the number of executions it carried out in 2025. Are you shocked and horrified because, unlike those executions in the U.S. that are carried out behind closed doors,Hegseth has given you a way to look? www.feministgiant.com/p/essay-21st...

"Pete Hegseth is the Cornell 7 with power" Ms Eltahawy writing is powerful A must read

🚨 LIES EXPOSED! Trump's supposed Russia-Ukraine energy ceasefire was INSTANTLY revealed to be a lie! Trump announced “both parties have agreed.” Zelenskyy said was “NEWS TO ME.” Now a top Russian lawmaker says he knows NOTHING about the deal and suggests Trump is trying to manipulate oil prices!

🚨 HOLY SMOKES! Ben Meiselas just UNLOADED on Trump over his fake Ukraine ceasefire announcement. “We're run by a sex predator, lunatic, a felon, a bankrupter, a fraud…” “Every freaking thing out of the guy is a fraud and a lie.” And Ben isn't letting corporate media off the hook either. WATCH.

Now, since I, a cis woman, was subjected to years of misgendering for the "unbecoming of a woman" language I used against rapists and fascists (with @lindenlab.bsky.social's tacit approval, since my abuser was untouchable), imagine what #trans people are subjected to.

More than two dozen workers at three major publishing houses—HarperCollins, Simon & Schuster, and Hachette—tell WIRED that LLMs are being used for publicity, cover art, back cover copy, and emails, as some execs push junior staff to champion the tech. Read the full story: buff.ly/p0ymGmN
