Obligatory pinned post:

I'm Takel. He/him, gryphon furry, cybersecurity worker, pansexual disaster, enjoyer of many nerd hobbies and also professional wrestling, and general-purpose leftist shitposter. I also run a TTRPG group that I don't stream.

An anthropomorphic gryphon with a cream-and-gold color scheme standing in front of a landscape, arms and wings outstretched. The background has a sort of fish-eye effect going, and the lighting is saturated such that the cream coloring looks more like a pale gold. Artwork by MurderMittens on FurAffinity.

without going into detail, this is a really hilarious thing for him to quote if you're far enough into the weeds of wrestlesky

"There's truth underneath all this fake outrage. Conservatives really are at a disadvantage in pop culture because most creative people are liberals, which has always been true & probably always will be. While MAGA has had some success building a culture machine, what it produces is mostly banal."

Whiny MAGA freaks out over Super Bowl halftime show

This is what every Democratic state needs to do, tell its state university leaders that they will lose all state appropriations if they sign the compact. Take the decision out of feckless college administrators’ hands.

Matthew Kirschenbaum @mkirschenbaum.bsky.social · 11h

Virginia State Senate Dems just brought down fire and fury regarding the “Compact,” notifying the President and Rector that UVA would lose ALL STATE APPROPRIATIONS if it signs and cedes the University to “federal political control.” Notably, their letter directly restates points made here by @siva.

Siva @sivav.bsky.social · 13h

The “compact” for higher ed is an unserious document written by unserious people from a position of spectacular ignorance. No one should take it seriously. Sadly, my bosses are taking it seriously.

The fact that they can't get a random sampling of citizens from any city to indict people for interfering with ICE seems more informative than any political poll, tbh

that donald trump was allowed to become president again after J6 is something we may never recover from as a nation

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 14h

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Donald Trump Truth Social Post: Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also.

my good bitch, the election you're so concerned about is literally more than three years away

we haven't even had the midterms yet

we're well within the window of "when we SHOULD be yelling at people who would suck shit if they run for president"

seeing people on my timeline complain about stuff related to kinks i don't share really makes me wish there was a good way to indicate a "not my thing, but yeah that's fair" like versus a "yeah i agree that pisses me off too" like

if nothing else, I feel like if the head of "trust and safety" is saying he can't control the model then it'd be a good idea to start looking for a new one

maybe in this case they are, maybe they aren't, but we have no way of knowing and the track record is not what i would call encouraging

it's amazing/depressing how many people see this and act like the objections are rooted in "we can't tell the difference between image classification and image generation" and not "nobody trusts a company with the '.ai' TLD to be capable of truth-telling or basic competence at what they claim to do"

really getting sick of how certain people refuse to distinguish "I don't trust that $COMPANY is telling the truth" from "it's unfalsifiably true that $COMPANY is lying"

“10/7 was bad and everything that followed in aftermath was worse” is a perfectly moral and popular position. it’s more or less the American consensus on 9/11.

Zohran Kwame Mamdani @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social · 1d

My statement on the two year anniversary of October 7, 2023.

“Two years ago today, Hamas carried out a horrific war crime, killing more than 1,100 Israelis and kidnapping 250 more. I mourn these lives and pray for the safe return of every hostage still held and for every family whose lives were torn apart by these atrocities.

In the aftermath of that day, Prime Minister Netanyahu and the Israeli government launched a genocidal war: adeath toll that now far exceeds 67,000; with the Israeli military bombing homes, hospitals, and schools into rubble. Every day in Gaza has become a place where grief itself has run out of language. I mourn these lives and pray for the families that have been shattered. Our government has been complicit through it all.

This must end. The occupation and apartheid must end. Peace must be pursued through diplomacy, not war crimes, and our government must act to end these atrocities and hold those responsible to account.

These last two years have demonstrated the very worst of humanity. We must answer it by modeling the very best: a relentless pursuit of our higher ideals and an unwavering commitment to universal human rights.”

We complain that AEW won't show our Bluesky posts on the broadcast but to be fair it's either a wholesome post from "homunculusdick" or a post saying "the Don Callis Family needs to fill my holes" from "pregnant twink" or whatever 🤼‍♂️
