The annoying thing about corporations trying to break into furry spaces is that like.. when corporations do this it's because they want to take control of the space so that they're the only ones who can sell things. They're corporations, they can afford to undercut small creators.

Seems like they are going after reporters who are women. They hit one w/pepper spray ammo in her car, the WGN reporter and now this.

Gotta say that spreading clear AI videos of a three armed reporter is actually pretty harmful.

Yep. The evangelical right isn’t doing anything for the sake of protecting children, it’s a means to instill a permanent authoritarian regime that limits the information you’re allowed to see. Awareness of the Palestinian genocide represents an existential threat to the world’s most awful people.

Buried in Michigan's antiporn bill is a provision to effectively outlaw "circumvention tools," such as VPNs.

Mark my words: legislators will increasingly leverage porn panic to restrict or ban VPNs, and to limit internet privacy far beyond adult sites.

Experts raise privacy concerns over Michigan bill targeting pornography and VPNs

Rep. Josh Schriver, the bill’s sponsor, says the law is designed to target only producers and distributors of pornography, not everyday internet users.

If ya love in Michigan, push with all your might against this law. If it passes, sue your state into oblivion for violating your rights to privacy online. This not about "protecting children." This a blatant attempt to censor your free speech, and invade your privacy.

Boy, this would be embarrassing if it turned out she was a vicious far-right sociopath who worships Trump and supports the sinking of those boats. But what are the odds? I'll just check her Twitter, but first, let me take a big sip of coffee...

Maria Corina Machado tweets "this recognition of the struggle of all Venezuelans is a boost to conclude our task: to conquer freedom. We are on the threshold of victory and today, more than ever, we count on president Trump, the people of the United States, the peoples of the Latin America, and the democratic nations of the world as our principal allows to achieve freedom and democracy. I dedicate this prize to the suffering people of Venezuela and to president Trump for his decisive support of our cause!"

I like how they found some piece of shit just as bad as Trump to give the prize to but liberals are too stupid to see it.

I like how they gave the Nobel Prize to someone fighting for democracy in Venezuela, instead of someone sinking fishing boats off their coast.

A man gets a blowjob from a trans woman and his friends make fun of him so he goes to the police to claim she lied about being a woman. She was convicted of sexual assault and sentenced to nearly 2 years in prison because of a man's shame.

Those are three people in inflatable frog suits.

@MrAndyNgo
Now that the local and national press have started to cover the Portland ICE area round-the-clock in reaction to the President, Antifa have devised a plan where they are encouraging one another to come in animal costumes.

The costumes serve the function of masking the violent extremism to make the direct action appear like a family-friendly gathering on camera, and to whitewash the past ultraviolence.

In 2019, Antifa devised a similar plot by giving out free "milkshakes" at a protest. But they couldn't contain their bloodthirst and nearly killed me when they saw me. In 2020, they mobilized a fake "Wall of Moms" where female Antifa supporters and members wore yellow shirts to act as human body shields while violent rioters behind them hurled projectile weapons.

I find it bleak that ChatGPT now has more users than Wikipedia. Many people would rather be spoon-fed information by a machine than read and research for themselves. Tech isn't just making us dumber. Worse than that: it's killing curiosity itself and the desire to learn.

setting aside the fact that they just don’t know what jokes are, this gives a big insight into the mind of white nationalists. they are deeply paranoid about the idea of being percieved as anything other than Epic Stoics

I'd have not consented to having sex with a few ppl had I known what a prick they were behind lies and deception.

If I or any other woman took this to the cops we would be laughed at and called a slag for not being careful who we open our legs to.

Ciara Watkin is in prison for being transgender.
