It's so weird that the Harvard library apparently has absolutely no History section for the people running Harvard to check on this subject.
They're just sure that with psychotic authoritarians, you can capitulate once with terms and they'll never trouble you again, with no examples to the contrary.

Ditch everything related to the Potter IP.

I don't care if you grew up on it, or your 20's were completely influenced by determining what house you'd be in or whatever. It is NEVER too late to dump a toxic story set and find a few of the MILLIONS of possible fictional universes that are better.

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Then let it die.
Let the AI bubble fully burst.
Let the investments in stealing from actual creators utterly tank.
Let the idiot investors that forced this crap into our products against our will go the way of their 1929 forebears.

Letting kids be bullies isn't helping them—it's setting them up for a world of bullies where a bigger bully makes them miserable down the road or someone finally has enough of them and absolutely beats their ass for it.

If any of your gay/queer friends ever voted for Trump or any RW cronies at all, they can NEVER be forgiven.
I don't care what they're reasoning was, don't care what they say now, they did this. You need to cut them out of your lives and banish them from your social scene.
They are unworthy traitors.

The Supreme Court appears ready to side with Trump in bringing back “gay conversion therapy.”

This practice involves physically abusing teenagers to try to turn them heterosexual, including with electric shocks and chemically-induced nausea.

The ICE agents deploying these are people without necessary training, those who couldn’t cut it in police training or didn’t want to join the military.

They are in this to hurt people and play Call of Duty on our streets, deploying chemical weapons on our neighbors as if they’re pressing L1.

Man, I hate it when your Stepford robot spits out all the recordings at once in a continuous stream without real contextual analysis. It's definitely a bug they need to fix for the next models and patch in this current generation of automata.

It's the constant modern problem that business is no longer about making an actual product people want, but about creating something that speculators want to gamble on and selling out the actual customers and workers as soon as you can get some private equity firm to value its potential high enough.

Too true. I've been so hoping for one of these platforms to be created and run by someone who's basically one of us and just plans to have a consistent user base (even if it comes with a small subscription) rather than planning for a BS buyout.

In addition to their endless anti-trans astroturfing, also note the "subtle" use in both comparative pictures that the "bad" Netflix character is a POC girl contrasted against their "good" CGI bobble-head Whitey Jesus.

Userbase: "Hey, we literally came here and became a userbase *because* this was exactly what the last company did, and they're now infamous for sucking. And the company before them. That's what you want for your company?"

Modern Tech Companies: "Hooray, we got a huge userbase and took over from that other company! We're a hit!"

They have the luxury of dark-money billionaires funding their every horrible move, and when you have an inexhaustible supply of grift cash, it's amazing how much evil you can do in a day.

The government has effectively been shut down for months as Trump has destroyed checks and balances, usurped the power of the purse from Congress, and unleashed an authoritarian nightmare throughout the country.

Why would any Democrat vote for any continuing resolution that allows this to continue?

1-866-952-4456 to tell Netflix that in no way do you want Elon fucking Musk determining what you watch.

I just called, got through in about 15 seconds, and told them that I strongly support queer inclusion in their programming and that I will cancel my subscription if they cave.

1. Led by Elon Musk, the far-right has exploded in a campaign to get Netflix to remove shows with queer and trans characters.

If Netflix capitulates to their demands, an already strained market for LGBTQ+ animators might become even more dire.

Federal websites like the Forest Service that were never supposed to be partisan or political are displaying this RW bullshit as part of the continued hack job on our government.
Of course, there's no form to submit a complaint about the site, but perhaps calls to local officials are in order.

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants
atrupar.com
Vance: "If you're an American citizen & you've been to the hospital in the last few years, you've probably noticed wait times are especially large & very often somebody who's there in the ER is an illegal alien. Why do those people get healthcare benefits at hospitals paid for by American citizens?"

I also honestly want this to just be a global trend (which it is except for us). I want a tourist to visit this country and know that they don't have to worry about if there's an accident, just like I want to feel that security if I visit another civilized nation.
Why is that such a radical idea?
