If I had a nickel for every time lately that a group of fascists has suddenly shown up with the seeming intent of recreationally catching all the bullets other fascists are firing in our direction, I'd have three nickels, which isn't a lot but it's increasingly weird that it's happened thrice
Holy shit. Remember the Trump debanking EO? The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency identified adult entertainment as one such industry facing unfair treatment from banks. This is huge

I wrote up a quick template script that you can use as a base for calling your EU representatives about #ChatControl

![A template script to use for calling the MEPs of your country about #ChatControl. Phone numbers can be found at fightchatcontrol.eu — translate this message to your own language for maximum effect! It requires a bit of effort to track down the correct translated names and terms in your language, but it should maximize the impact with your representatives.
Hello, [name] here. I am trying to reach [representative] regarding an urgent and important matter.
(Yesterday,) on the 12th of November, the Law Enforcement Working Party of the Council of European Union approved the revised Chat Control legislation brought forward by the Danish Presidency, despite vocal disapproval from the European populace across the board. This legislation essentially forces internet service providers to spy on all digital communications of all European citizens, including encrypted communications like Whatsapp chats for example.
The same legislation also denies people their right to privacy on the internet by forcing them to identify via age verification before accessing services on the internet, endangering the work and life of several groups of professionals as well as people in general. This catastrophically bad legislation most likely violates the EU’s own GDPR, as well as the constitution of [our country]. (note: check to make sure this is accurate with your country)
As such, I would like to make it clear that [our country]’s representatives must do everything they can do to stop this privacy-destroying “Big Brother is watching” legislation. The rights of all EU citizens are in danger, and now is the time to act.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:yezjmch53wfkkmm7i3hiccua/bafkreidyp6nqyzz55lbuhzselsblpjy2r3zjyumhake6cs4vkkytquwj64@jpeg)

Look folks gen AI videos are out in the wild so if you weren't already being careful about sharing rage bait videos then now is a great time to start
If you can't trace a video back to a trusted source then I recommend leaving it where it is, like a slice of bologna you found on the street

With the Fall 2025 anime season, Crunchyroll demonstrates zero respect for anime as a medium as the presentation quality of its subtitles reach an all-time low.

In order to show up as a good organizer, youe going to have to do your personal homework. You are going to have to view it as an ongoing, life-long endeavor to understand your way around your own ego and how to set it aside.
Otherwise you will get caught up in infighting instead of shared struggle.

a danger of generative videos that I don’t see people talking about much is how many people see a vid of anything impressive and immediately go “it’s AI” now. It’s killing creativity, but it’s also killing the *response* to creativity. I don’t want to live in a world where we underestimate ourselves

More sketches, just for the story. Sometimes I feel like with each iteration I move further away from what drawing a living being even means, turning into an obsessive engineer. I'm somewhat prone to falling into this (silhouette! shape! structure!), but I think I need to rethink my approach... :')

SO much of the cultural and artistic nostalgia that society chases was just art made when people got paid to do it. Lavish movie posters made by human artists, video games made by people without sixteen different investment companies breathing down their neck, movies made by studios taking a chance.

AI is two projects. The first is willfully degrading definitions to create a void of meaning (any algorithm is AI). The second is projecting propaganda into that void (AI can replace labor, is sentient).
This creates a space where you can claim "the Pac-Man ghosts are sentient" to sell products.
