The U.S. government just banned five people from entering the country because it doesn’t like their speech. This ban, according to the State Department, is necessary to protect free speech.
If that sounds insane to you, congratulations on your reading comprehension.

More lazy assumptions here.
We have? Pushed them out of our lives?
"We" who? Whose lives are "our"?
There are more focuses for study available, and new critiques. Chaucer and Hemingway are still available at my local book store for online order. Never easier. Nothing has been taken away.

You know what IS being pushed out of "our" lives? Diverse voices.
Google "book bans." Google "DEI bans." Or just turn on the fucking news.
Choosing to frame white men's apparent struggles to be rewarded, awarded and cheered as the problem to be solved sure is a fucking choice in 2025.

In three years, all the Trump wording on govt buildings will be thrown in a giant fire.
We will literally have a big bonfire on national TV…. And ceremonially destroy any memory of the Trump presidency
And replace his photo on the “walk of fame” in WH with two huge Cankles

Porno was always going to move users and custom feeds rock. The implementation of the For You feed users made is really nice. Not to glaze this app too much but it has a bunch of QoL features that X stopped working on in favor of The Machine That Turns You Into A Fascist.

Honestly whats more fucked up is less about it being easy or hard but more X goes as far as to *encourage* it. People throw around the the term "normalize" but that's what that shit is trying to do. You can't stop someone from disrespecting your work, but you *can* avoid encouraging people to do it.

Some people may think this is counter to my zero tolerance stance but I’m not gonna swear off a developer for very brief experimentation back before the true scale and perversity of Regurgitative AI was widely acknowledged, especially when the conclusion was “this feels wrong.”

stealing a screenshot but this is kind of insane to me? i just can't agree with the bottom one when the top one is correct about "you get what you put in"
like yeah the site "lacks whimsy" because you haven't dragged your community over with you. when you leave, they do too. that's how this works.

oh this is RANCID I didn't even bother to look when I first heard about this but ew ew ew ew
For further context twitter added a button that allows users to generate ai images using existing art posts from artists. It removes glaze and it basically reskins the artwork by using the existing work as a base. Twitter is no longer a safe space for art
