I don't care how good the content is, if you use GenAI images for illustration I'm not opening, reading, or sharing your work.

Even beside the disrespect to creators - I don't trust the laziness to stop at the images.

Only legislators can do the job. They're who we empower to structure our criminal justice system.

It's simple: “Criminal verdicts shall be reached by human jurors, unassisted by artificial intelligence."

The time to decree this is now, before we’re seduced by the lure of the next release.

Hi. There is an influx of government sites and I’m gonna use what little clout I have

To say

Don’t bait them.

pay them DUST.

Commit to boosting coverage of what they do, centering the voices of who they target .

In fact start muting folks who over antagonize them

the fact that so many people frame autism as “a problem that needs to be solved” is a constant reminder that being “not normal” isn’t acceptable to a large amount of the world. it’s the same reason there’s a trans panic right now too. they think people are defective

Scientists previously believed this intense of a red flag could only be generated by direct LASER stimulation of the retinal cones.
What's the most amount of red flags you can fit in a paragraph?

it is actually so damaging for them that "when it happens" is such a meme all over the internet now though

I just feel like "grassroots conviction that you're about to fucking die any day now" isn't really conducive to projecting an aura of fascist inevitability

Every single thing, EVERY SINGLE THING, that RFK has done was predictable and predicted. He is doing what every other fascist eugenicist has done before him. The disability community has been warning about this for YEARS. It is not in any way shape or form mysterious and unknowable.

Judge: I got a call at 2:36 a.m. because the govt chose this time on a holiday weekend to execute this plan. I have been up since then. I haven't been able to reach anyone from govt until this morning at 9:30 a.m. So absent this intervention, all children would already have been sent to Guatemala!

Speaking as someone who used to spend time in their chats, SO much of US contemporary fascism is a function of men assuming that the way adulthood worked was, you got a job and in exchange you got a woman to be your mom plus your sex toy.

They are ENRAGED that they have a job but no sex mommy.
