to be clear, it is fine if you just want to dick around! that's what i mostly do on here. but the idea that "you're giving up the fight to influence people by not using X" is belied by the fact that effectively *no one* uses X. and i don't see any of the "use X!" people on tiktok or youtube.

It’s a completely correct idea. Which is probably why people get mad.
If you want to influence people you have to go to where they are influenced (and this may be multiple places) to do so!
okay somehow this totally banal observation about the relative scale and influence of social media platforms has made some people extremely mad
i have said this before but if you are actually interested in influencing people beyond a narrow circle of too-online journalists you will be making direct to camera videos on tiktok, instagram and youtube. if you primarily post on text-based social media then you're just dicking around.

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing

these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous

this is worth sharing and educating people about

ICE sprayed a one-year-old in the face with pepper spray.

The child and parents are US citizens, but that doesn't even matter.

These monsters pepper-sprayed a baby.

We cannot allow ICE to continue this behavior, and they aren't going to reform themselves.

Happy Hanukkah. I always love seeing everyone’s menorahs. I love seeing people share their culture and hate that there is a swath of people that want to stifle it.
I know we are hurting. But we cannot hide. We must stand tall and proud of who we are. We hold their memories as blessings. And we light the candles anyway. They want us to hide but we stand proud. Find as much joy as you can this first night of #Hanukkah

The horrific tragedy at Brown University is the 389th mass shooting this year and the 230th gun incident on school grounds so far this year.

This is not normal and we don't have to live this way.

The devastation I feel about this attack on science in particular is hard to cope with. It’s like watching my dad die all over again. I would do anything to spare someone a death via pancreatic cancer.
A tiny trial in New York has shown that personalized mRNA vaccines can provoke massive, lasting immune responses against pancreatic cancer, even as sweeping federal cuts now threaten the fragile labs required to produce them.

Hundreds Quarantined in South Carolina as Measles Outbreak Shows No Sign of Slowing
The outbreak shows no signs of slowing, likely because of the affected area’s “lower-than-hoped-for vaccination coverage,” a state health official said.

so, this right here? this is one of the absolutely most lawless, brazenly unconstitutional impeachable offenses ever committed by any president other than trump in the history of our country.

like, this is an open and shut case. and it's a case which targeted *republicans.*
This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him.

I don’t know how else to say it…

When you read the full transcript, Newsom's bigotry is even more clear: "We didn’t get into trans sports. That’s an issue no one wants to hear about... But it comes from my heart, not just my head. It wasn’t a political evolution. I don’t think it’s fair."
Here's where that quote that the GOP is pushing came from: yesterday's Ezra Klein podcast. Newsom brought it up unprompted. Doesn't really say what he believes, but seemed to want to get on the record as slightly less antagonistic to trans people.

Remember when you could watch movies or read books about dystopian futures and think they were far fetched and imagine what it would take to get there? And now it just looks like a feasible possibility.

the reason that it's so disturbing when Newsom/Buttigieg/Harris say that they want to force trans ppl out of sports is that it signals that they don't want to fight for trans rights at a time when there is a massive genocidal campaign against trans people. 1

Laws aren't real. They exist solely on account of buy-in from society's participants. Once one side disengages, you no longer reside in a society based on laws. You live in a society based on power and armed force. I am begging folks to accept this so we can get moving.
Just legal Calvinball. Obviously lawless.

Nick Benson said he noticed two changes earlier this year — deportation flights started using a dummy callsign to avoid being tracked and “most of the deportation fleet had been added to the FAA’s privacy list, which hides them from trackers like Flight Aware and Flight Radar 24.”
