Okay, I will preface this with the GIGANTIC disclaimer that I promise I know how this looks, and I *swear* this is not personally motivated: If you have an old #LiveJournal account, and it has things you still care about in it, download it or import it to Dreamwidth SOON. Details:

*extremely terrible, can we just give up this idea already, I wrote a sci-fi horror story about this called QUIETUS and half of the POV is from one of the test subjects the scientists are experimenting on trying to get this to work

Bluesky seems to have decided that I muted the word "matcha." I didn't, and nothing close is in my muted words list. But I keep seeing random "contains a muted word" comments, and if I click to see them, they don't contain any words I've muted. They do, however, contain "matcha." What a weird bug

This really does have to be a baseline moral assumption when it comes to being a abolitionist and indeed I’d argue a decent fucking person

“But what about—“ no, everybody

“But what if they—“ no, *everybody*

“But if—“ I do not know how to make this clearer

Making exceptions is easier
Hey folks "I fucking hate him and everything he stands for, the blood of millions is on his hands, and he needs to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law for his crimes" is compatible with "even the worst people deserve basic human rights."

Things would be easier if it wasn't.

Two independent studies found that AI chatbots were better at persuading voters than political ads. The most persuasive bots also lied the most. This is something that humans working in psyops have known for decades. AI is psyops at scale. www.technologyreview.com/2025/12/04/1...

I just saw someone on another site asking for recommendations of "non-sexist romance novels (if those even exist)" for a book club and I had to close my browser before I got into an unproductive internet fight with a stranger. Other people who are more patient than I left some good recs, at least

For once, I'd like to hear some calls for technology that only comes from people who aren't in it for the money.

This idea is being pushed on us because billionaires don’t want art. They want decorations that don’t question the atrocity of their existence.
If we can only have art from people who "aren't in it for the money" that means we can only have art from privileged middle-class dilettantes. Making art being a viable career is responsible for nearly all worthwhile art, and if it's not a viable career any more we will get drastically less of it.
