I just saw a video about conservatives being mad that the Monster High toyline has a nonbinary doll, so I'm reupping this thread

No physical media, absolutely NONE was more cyberpunk in appearance than MiniDisc in colors. Not even the translucent neon floppies I still have.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him.
“When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

There are people trying to stop others from using whistles, and next they'll say it's ableism.
As your disability advocate friend, I will be the first with serious sensory sensitivity to say that I would rather be in pain than someone get abducted, or shot.
Block/mute this argument, it's an op.

It strikes me that one reason AI slop is so infuriating to engage with is because we recognize it as the sort of pro forma grey goo we feed into machine for mind-numbing busy work, but now the machines are feeding it into us.
