He's just this guy, you know?
Finished reading Dolki Min's Walking Practice. It's fantastic, and I'm going to read it again. Found it fascinating that the comments I've seen about it all talk about its obviously queer elements, with an alien that can make itself appear male or female as needed in its pursuit of human flesh.

The interesting thing about this quiz is that getting the right answers is less about spotting "tell tale" signs of AI video and more about just, like, stopping and thinking through whether the scenario and camera angle make any damn sense.

I got them all correct.

There's no one way to be absolutely sure about a video's authenticity, but experts say there are some simple clues that can help.

I have come to the idea that we have to collectively, brutally, ritualistically kill Target just to show capital that we truly aren’t fucking around.

In the world of social media, trans people loom large in these people's imaginations, fetishes, nightmares, and replies. We take on outsized importance in their anxieties, and they then project that onto a general public that largely doesn't share the obsession.

Soren wakes to find himself cast by a God he has never heard of into a Hell whose dimensions he can barely grasp: a vast library he can only escape from by finding the book that contains the story of his life.


Hell is a finite but immense series of hexagonal galleries?!?

Most of my heroes that I have met are still awesome.

I've met maybe four that were hugely disappointing.

It's not hard to find misogyny in their work, it's a pretty fair tell.
That's why you shouldn't have real people as heroes. They'll always let you down

So wild to me that monumental advances in fundamental biomedical research are happening at the same time as a farcical, lethal hatred of science is taking over our public health systems
GOOD NEWS! Researchers have made a HUGE breakthrough towards a UNIVERSAL antiviral. By targeting sugar molecules found on the surface of many viruses that SHARE structural similarities, they identified FOUR compounds that successfully BLOCKED infections from SEVEN different viruses.

The media's complete lack of curiosity over our nearly 80 year old President's health when he has permanent bruising on his right hand, swollen ankles, facial drooping, disappeared for days from public view twice in the last 2 months and just had an unexplained MRI is notable

Potential broad-spectrum antiviral. Shows efficacy against some of the worst shit. Utterly amazing news.
We're close to the world's first-ever broad-spectrum antiviral. In a breakthrough, researchers at the City University of New York have identified a promising path to the development of an antiviral that could be used to fight a wide range of deadly viruses, including future pandemic threats.

Actually, leftover scumbags from the NIXON administration.

Cheney, Rumsfeld, Roger Ailes, Roger Stone, Kissinger, all should have died in prison at a bare minimum. The George W Bush administration would never have even happened if we didn't let this nest of fascist ratfuckers fester.
The main reason we're in this situation is a bunch of war criminal shitbags from the Reagan administration paved the way for fascism.

And the best thing you can do is ask the grunts not to follow illegal orders. What about your part of the bargain?

Bolsonaro may die in prison.

Bangladesh's PM was just sentenced to death for ordering last year's brutal crackdown.

Are any politicians running on a "We gotta start stacking these fascists like fucking cordwood" platform?

"Don't follow illegal orders" would be more meaningful if Democrats had prosecuted literally any of the prominent war criminals of the last 30 years instead of, you know, fucking campaigning with them

No Contract, No Coffee! 🚫☕️

Honored to stand with @sbworkersunited.org baristas in their fight for a fair contract with living wages and safe staffing. It’s unconscionable that Starbucks continues to stall negotiations.

Support workers, no Starbucks until contract! ✊🏽

Please remember that in the US, every time you advocate for something to be made illegal, you are supporting more power being given to the carceral state.

And those new laws might be sometimes deployed against the privileged, but they will ALWAYS be weaponized against the vulnerable.

This is the correct take. Stewing in white supremacist propaganda is bad for your thinking. And if think you are so savvy that it won’t impact you, you are the exact kind of mark they are slowly converting (I’m looking at you, centrist pundits).
It’s really funny how a generation will roll its eyes at parents who watch Fox News but doesn’t see why being immersed in Twitter is having the same effect. Lots of serious people show up on Fox News too but that shouldn’t be your primary source on the news.

We are social creatures, what we engage with and socialize with we become.

The people who think they aren't vulnerable are the MOST susceptible because they are not going to notice warning signs and pull back.

They are not going to RECOGNIZE what they are normalizing to their own brains.
