so my big takeaway that i haven't seen other people talking about regarding this is: what other documents are Actually Not Redacted?
This is perfect. The DOJ's embarrassing snafu with disappearing redactions was the fault of Elon Musk. Musk cancelled government subscriptions to Adobe programs that would have made the redactions permanent. What a pack of fools.

While Bsky wasn't my first choice of a fallback spot (that was Cohost, which was by far my favorite social media space in its prime), this place has been orders of magnitude better for me then the bird site had ever been even before The Eloning(tm).
Twitter users are spreading some crazy misinfo about Bluesky amid this AI art situation. I have a really cynical read on all this — I think there’s fearmongering on Twitter to prevent people from leaving. “Please don’t walk out of the jail, even though the door is open”

I probably don't need to say this here, but I've been using this site since 2023, literally the first word in my bio is tranny, and I've gotten zero transphobic harassment on here, a far cry from the semi-regular, low-effort, bigoted comments I got on Twitter BEFORE Elon bought it.

“Game design” as in “how can we psychologically manipulate the player into Maximum Retention EnterGagement over the course of a 3 month battle pass season” is satan

But “game design” as in “how many dudes can we put on the NG2 staircase without red ringing the player’s 360” is essential
I feel like a little farmer at my little game potato farm sitting between the nations of Game Design and Anti Game Design, sweating constantly as I see both sides arm for war.

HHS is trying to force Seattle Children's into doing a Sophie's choice of abandoning trans youth or see kids with cancer or other serious illness have their coverage and care disrupted. That's what this is about.

Hopefully, the courts put a quick stop to this like the subpoenas.

There's a kind of entitlement so many parents (boomers in particular) have where they believe the summation of conflict solving is quietly burying that the bad thing happened and putting the burden of change on the victim.

If you're still hurt about it then you're the asshole in their mind.

Even though bsky has management issues, I believe my trans friends if they say this is some real fearmongering going on. It comes at a very suspicious time.

As someone who recently lost a grandmother and will be supporting a relative post-surgery soon I have nothing but sympathy for the situations that led to this decision

As a fan of Saga's work, I'm deeply sad we may never see more but I wish only the best in any future endeavors

A full circle story in 3 parts.

1. I am reluctant to go to the doctor, I don't want to flaunt my class privilege.

2. I should go to the doctor more, I owe it to the people I'm fighting for to take care of myself.

3. I am reluctant to go to the doctor, medical facilities are way over capacity.

Uhh, having developed safety critical software before AND as a former hacker, this is going to open up so many exploits.

And didn't the propaganda of yesteryear try to demonize China for having state-ready hackers poised to launch a cyber-assault against the US?

With Welcome 2 Heaven tapping out (which I fully intend to respect their(pronouns?) boundaries on), I'm curious of there are other examples of web comics or other light media that depict kinky relationships that are real in a good way and healthy.

The world needs (MUCH) more of that.

Underwent more healing then I thought possible (I am a very different person in a good way, so much so I can't recognize myself as recently as few months ago), got my spoons back in a big way, finally installed my alt OS on my desktop I had been meaning to for 4 years, helped many people out.
Quote this with what you have accomplished in 2025, no matter how big or small
Reading & writing has kept me alive this year.

Somehow, it’s been my most productive year as an author.

Here’s a guide to what I’ve published in 2025, in case you’ve lost track.

I always thought Plato was pretty pollyannaish on this point, but this is decent evidence for the view that a man of bad character will therefore be unhappy even with every external trapping of success and good fortune.
President Donald Trump gifted the world with nearly 200 Truth Social posts (and counting) on Christmas Day, where he amplified conspiracy theories about the 2020 election and called for a member of Congress to be deported.
