Reminder that Duolingo laid off most of their staff, including their localization teams, so that they could invest heavily into AI. Don't support Duolingo. Disable drops for a few days.

Even as an artist who doesn't do noncon work, it's still extremely important to protect those who do from this puritanical/prudish censorship! If the policy goes through in October as scheduled, expect a ton of artists to jump ship and/or reduce their posting significantly here.

Bsky's new TOS says it alone has the power to determine whether a fictional drawing shows consent

Demand that they REPEAL this harmful and misguided rule and to give us tools to protect creative freedom instead!

I'm being so real right now, learn how to engage in media as art and not a reflection of your own real life morals. consume things that make you uncomfortable and understand why it makes you uncomfortable. Don't just base yours and others morals standings on the media you consume.

Now that Kirk's killer seems to be caught, maybe the news could spare a moment's attention for the right wing, from the commentariat up to the GOP and president, whose immediate reaction was not mourning, but to seize the opportunity to try to incite violence against groups they hate

I feel it is my responsibility as your mainstream comic book friend to further explain that what dc is doing to Gretchen is unprecedented

They haven’t only cancelled the series, they are refunding the comics that are already created and recalling the issue that is already sold.

Stellaween? @antlervel.vet · Sep 11

Hello everyone. You may know Gretchen Felker-Martin has once again been suspended from bc they do that whenever some chud complains. Her brand-new ongoing DC series was also cancelled for the same reason. It’s stupid fascist bullshit as usual. Gretchen’s work rules. Consider supporting her here:

Hey if you live in Ohio, calling your reps and expressing your displeasure over this upcoming law is worth doing

Mike Stabile @mikestabile.bsky.social · Sep 10

Starting later this month, companies like X, Discord and Netflix will be legally required to use a face scan or other method to verify Ohioans age and/or identity before allowing them to go online

They passed it by claiming it was just about porn.

Ohio's porn ID, age verification law takes effect soon. What to know about the change

Starting Sept. 30, pornography websites will be required to verify the ages of their customers under a new Ohio law. Here's how sites will verify age.

This is simply untenable. There is no way forward with media and political classes captured by the right. Every time someone commits a crime you have to pray it's not an undesirable or it's purge time, then when it turns out to be themselves again they just shrug and wait for the next one.

Just a heads up. I was able to schedule my COVID vaccine appointment. Online it will ask “do you have a condition that puts you at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19 virus.”

Click yes and it will allow you to schedule an appointment.

No questions asked.

No proof required.

Pass it on.

furthermore if the only way to get a moderation appeal heard within a reasonable time is to be a public person with a big audience like me or nathan there is no real appeal process and you're once again prioritizing not getting bad press over actually caring for your users

Keep everyone safe meaning only the nazis and bigots on your site? Because trans and palestinian people sure aren't safe at all! Maybe grow a fucking spine before saying fake shit like this, eh? Otherwise you will just turn this into Nazi site #18382, unless you want that?

you seem to have zero interest in protecting trans and palestinian people on this website yet go batting for a nazi with rule enforcements on jokes that didn't result in moderation just a few months ago when other famous, widely hated political figures died.

The whole “he’s so nice in real life” shit is not the mark of a good person. If they spread hateful violent rhetoric until you meet them, that’s the mark of a coward.

It’s a really, really old trick as well. You have to be real gullible to fall for it.

Guys it's ok. He only called for violence against gays and trans people and declared the Civil Rights Act a mistake for the money and power.

Rachel Bitecofer on twitter after Kirk was shot:

I went on @charliekirk11’s debate show back in 2022.

He plays a character, the real man was exceedingly polite and completely engaged with the young people in Turning Point.

That character spread hate and poison, but there is a human behind it.

I’m praying for that human

Trump is "moving on" from plans to deploy troops to Chicago.

Chicago showed us that when workers, students, the Mayor, and community members all stand up together, Trump backs down.

This is what we need in every city across America.

But Trump is moving on, and today’s big story will be his next major target for a crime clampdown. After days of deliberation, it won’t be Chicago. “They are a progressive city and they don’t want the president’s help. That’s on them,” AG Pam Bondi told Fox News last night. “Chicago should be begging Donald Trump for help to keep Chicago safe — yet they aren’t. So we’re going to a city who wants us there.”

In case anyone still needs proof that Israel will never adhere to a ceasefire and that all their blathering about the hostages has always been one big goddamned lie, the target of the strike was *the fucking ceasefire negotiation team for Hamas*.

Oh, and Trump invited that team to Qatar.

So. YEAH.
