so many of just the ferguson protestors have been literally lynched and murdered and y'all DON'T EVEN MENTION THEM NO MORE it's crazy
I’ve said it and I believe it is true
There is a willful forgetting and suppression of the memory of the hundreds of protests that shook this nation for the past decade and a half. So while Canadians and European laypeople whine “Americans don’t do anything,” the Americans are actively suppressed

Not to be controversial but I think we should use tools and resources to make people's lives less miserable instead of more

really the only advice I can give both new and old users is don’t sub to blocklists, because people use them for revenge and trolling and you’ll end up blocking people you like 💀
Why tf? Were you added to one of these revenge blocklists? I have a bunch of folks blocking me because of those. Alas :///

Everyone likes feeling informed & righteous, which is what made Encyclopedia Dramatica and Your Fav Is Problematic such positive shaping forces on how incendiary information is disseminated
Ngl by my reckoning we're about 6 months out from that "slop detected" account having to retract/apologize for posting something that leads to a level designer somewhere receiving death threats. You get a sense for this kind of thing. 6 months is probably too generous

Perhaps the most exhausting part of being trans in 2025 is how harshly you will be sanctioned if you express even, like, 10% of the rage it is entirely normal to feel at the attempt to erase us from public life

It's always funny to me how it's also *always* CEOs saying this shit too.
It's never a ground-floor dev or something saying how much better their workflow has gotten. It's always a CEO that doesn't know shit but is adamant it makes things better.

The confusion and conflation of ‘generative ai that is built on stolen artwork’ and ‘machine learning, character behaviour modelling and proc gen’ is intentional on the part of the grifters peddling the former. They benefit from murkiness of classification, because the latter predates their bollocks

My response to much of the AI-based doom and gloom going around can be summarized as: Yes, if everything happened as these CEOs are claiming, it would be catastrophic
But they're also as credible as the CEOs (often the same guys) claiming that every game would be on The Blockchain with shared items

it would actually cost SO MUCH LESS to just do this instead of throwing trillions of dollars at technofascists too, who would've thought
they didn't need AI to make Silksong, it just needed some deeply insane guys to have a blank check for living expenses until their next thing was done, I think we should try doing more of that instead

Worth adding here that SpaceX is almost entirely funded by government contracts and subsidies, and so this really amounts to embezzling taxpayer funds to cover up the losses from his stupid idiot boxes.

A reminder that The Escapist that people remembered does not exist anymore. Almost all the core staff packed up and left. Most reformed as Second Wind, which is doing decent work.
The Escapist now exists to promote online gambling and act as a mouthpiece for unhinged venture capitalists. Let it die

The Escapist accused Blue Prince developer Dogubomb of using generative AI. This is patently false and an utterly gross accusation.
The story has since been amended, but the damage has been done. You can search out the current version if you want, but here’s the original.

closing thought: most of what people pick up on as "fetish" is just acknowledgement of a power hierarchy, i.e. a wordless nod that power exists and people can be rendered vulnerable in juxtaposition to each other or the environment. character conflict is also power politics. there will be bleedover

The thing we need to take away from Epstein is that people with more power need to be MORE subject to the law than the average Joe, rather than less.
Presidents, billionaires, and cops should go to jail and lose everything for even the APPEARANCE of impropriety of any sort.

The running theme between the Epstein story, banning trans healthcare for minors, religious homeschooling and the complaints about adult children estranging themselves is a fundamental American belief that children are property with no rights of their own
America is a culture of child abuse. Ask any survivor - we find one another, we form networks and communities.
The true scale of it would stagger and sicken you, and so it is buried, it is swept under the rug, it is denied and the survivors are silenced by whatever means are necessary.
