Guys you have to just block everyone who seems like they might report Palestinians. If you don’t block them they will go to your page and report the Palestinians you repost. I know they are terrible people and it feels good to dunk on them, but you have to block them to keep people safe.

"Talent" is a lie told to obscure the work it takes to succeed at something and devalue the people doing the work and the work itself

Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

"Sure, ICE is bad, but we need to deport illegal immigrants"
No you don't.
If immigration enforcement leads to concentration camps and roving death squads, maybe it's time to just get rid of the concept of illegal immigration entirely. You've tried it, it's a bad idea in practice, so bin it.

Swear to god, ICE could just announce they're leaving a city but not leave and the media will just stop covering that city completely even though ICE never left.
It's what ICE and the media did with LA and they're doing it with Minneapolis too

We cannot ask survivors to speak out about sexual violence while simultaneously punishing them for it. We cannot hold survivors responsible for their own justice while refusing to give it to them. We cannot expect survivors to come forward while making it impossible for them to do so.

Too often I hear that the answer to sexual violence is for more victims to report it and speak up, but when they do so, they are denied justice and punished. That is not the answer, it is the problem.

Effective altruism is pro-life for atheists: they can advocate for people who exist hypothetically and don’t have to listen to the needs of the living.
New article about the deafening silence from Effective Altruist leaders on the most morally important issues of our time: the Gaza genocide, rise of fascism, and brutality of ICE. I also discuss how the world would probably be better if EA had never existed. What do you think?

I cannot begin to explain how happy and excited they are. It is so incredibly meaningful to seek and hold onto joy whenever you find it.

One of the dumbest things about Wizarding World (and there are MANY to pick from) is how OP “muggle “ tools like shotgun, broken pool cue and cinderblock would be in their dumb lore where you have to yell to cast an easily deflected projectile.

The amount of folks I've made squirm by saying things like "deliberate ritualistic humiliation of children, involving touching their private areas, is sexual abuse - even if you call it spanking or discipline!" is...a lot.

Epstein was grooming girls for a life of sexual slavery and that’s also one of Dobson’s interests so it’s no wonder those two PoSs found common ground.
