Six people had their visas revoked due to their social media posts.

Six people are being deported because of what they said online.

Six people have had their freedom of speech suspended.

It won’t stop with these six people.

Either we all have freedom of speech or none of us do.

Thinking about this as a non-artist but a consumer, I like that you point out the social/communal aspect of it. There's some of the genAI people who are all like "It takes skill and cleverness to get the prompts out in a way that gives me what I want", but what is that, really, than just

This is cool after the war on everything called “porn” by platforms and payment processors. A machine that stole all your words can generate and sell “erotica” but you can’t haaa

Matt Burgess (WIRED) @mattburgess1.bsky.social · 1d

Oh good, ChatGPT is getting "erotica for verified adults" later this year

We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right.

Now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools, we are going to be able to safely relax the restrictions in most cases.

In a few weeks, we plan to put out a new version of ChatGPT that allows people to have a personality that behaves more like what people liked about 4o (we hope it will be better!). If you want your ChatGPT to respond in a very human-like way, or use a ton of emoji, or act like a friend, ChatGPT should do it (but only if you want it, not because we are usage-maxxing).

In December, as we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our “treat adult users like adults” principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults.

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

my illustration of Halloween Corrins from FEH. fullbody. but with a few design changes so their overall attire look mostly the same.
M!corrin on the right, F!corrin on the left, doing the same standing sprite pose.
major differences from the FEH outfits are that they both have short pants and a leg cover only on the right leg each. they have the book 3 glowing skeleton effect on their left legs, and seemingly torsos underneath the shirts.
their skeleton left legs are mostly covered up with the purple cape but also we can see neon green ribbon bows are wrapped around on them. also they have off-the-shoulder sleeves.

you should dress up in that cosplay specifically for the judges table. Give them incredible critique about their craftsmanship and design. In a Hawaiian shirt.

“Israeli” ceasefires only ever apply to the other party. They’ll continue to kill whomever they want, whenever they want until they are stopped. They see themselves as occupying an altogether different moral plane than their enemies, like any colonizer.

We're almost there. We've raised $437, and that's a great achievement, but it's not enough. I still need $63 to buy a tent for my family. Please donate now, as winter and the freezing cold are just around the corner

P.hala 💔 @teacher-h.bsky.social · 6d

Despite the fact that my family's tent is new, repeated displacement, constant fleeing, and nearby shelling have caused significant damage to it.
Please help my family to renew their tent — their only shelter — so they can withstand the cold winter

In Portland, an ambulance was summoned to the ICE office to treat an injured protester (not clear how he was injured). But when the patient was loaded inside, ICE officers refused to let the ambulance leave and threatened to shoot the ambulance driver: www.wweek.com/news/2025/10...

Documents Allege a Federal Agent at Portland ICE Threatened to Shoot an Ambulance Driver

Feds delayed medics who had come to pick up an injured protester. Then, according to confidential incident reports, the agents became aggressive.
