It's BS you need to love yourself first.
Even if you hate yourself now, love them fully and fearlessly🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈
I want a world where someday you'll love yourself
and live proud, just as you are

This seems like a metaphor but no it's literal.
I just woke up from a nap and somehow while I was asleep, everyone on the bus has figured out we are not going to the right place

hello, yes, Nintendo? I'd like to make a complaint to your pedantry department
In the latest animal crossing update you added the gameboy item, however when you interact with it, its screen lights up. This is clearly an egregious error as the original Gameboy did NOT feature a lit screen.

In these divided times only I can bring you all together to all judge me for these monstrosities.

Sis brought me back a tin of sweets from Disneyland Paris and I just expected, you know a sweet tin. Nope, Disney dedicate to the theming and they are an exact set shaped and coloured like the Infinity Stones!

If you threaten war because you were not given a peace prize, you never deserved the peace prize.
You never cared about peace. You wanted a trinket.

Another message, this time venting my rage that some papers have used the work to stop Grok being used for vile acts to pivot into attacking trans people. These bigots are obsessed with their hate.
We heard last week that the anti-trans lot write to Keir Starmer very regularly, some write at least once a week. And that’s all he’s hearing. He needs to hear from us. Write to him today, then put a note in your diary to write to him again next week, and the next...

"Elon Musk’s X says AI chatbot Grok will no longer allow users to edit people in revealing clothing in places where it is illegal."
Notice the wording. He is still providing capability to make non consensual naked images everywhere else.
The man is vile.

You know what is weird, the UK press, even the very right leaning, used to mock Trump to a greater or lesser degree. The more fascist he has got, the more a good chunk have turned to cheerleading him.

Shit. Wish it surprised rather than just disgusted me. They aren't even hiding it anymore. Stay safe.
At a time when multiple federal departments run by Donald Trump have posted Nazi slogans or imagery or songs in the last week—with the total number of incidents being impossible to count just on one hand—Trump is now demanding lists of Jews from U.S. institutions.
Time to wake the fuck up, all.

UPenn faculty condemn Trump administration’s demand for ‘lists of Jews’
Groups say EEOC demand for names and personal details echoes dark history and threatens safety and civil rights

Of course they don't want AI, have you freaking read what happens to AI in the 40k universe?
Less flippantly, good news here.

Warhammer maker Games Workshop has banned the use of AI in its content production and its design process, insisting that none of its senior managers are currently excited about the technology. https://bit.ly/49xT9Xl

I'm not an expert by any means, but googling best I can see seems to match up. Holy shit the level of bullshit here by these papers.
🧵A political/media guide to the "truth" about net-zero
1) Add up costs to install & run a net-zero energy system
2) Pretend fossil-fuelled alternatives wld be free
3) Do say "eco zealots are bankrupting us"
4) Don't say "free cars if we scrap net-zero" cos it sounds ridiculous
5) That's it!

With "Die Loaded" now out I am going to pretend not to understand this is a joke and demand to known when Fix Your Heart is coming out.
If I released a DIE sequel I'd want to do a sister book called FIX YOUR HEART and retailers would only be able to sell one or the other to you.

What gets me about this is its still framed as "Is twitter doing enough to protect people from seeing this" not "grok was deliberately built with a lack of safeguards, specifically to allow this". This is not "Do they try not to host this" it is "They create this"
We've launched an investigation into X over Grok sexualised imagery.
We've opened a formal investigation into X under the Online Safety Act, to determine whether it has complied with its duties to protect people in the UK from content that is illegal in the UK.
