Hello US Americans. The news is fucking dire today if you haven't checked it. Orange man has issued a threat to wipe out the entire of Iran's civilization by 8 pm EST (that's eastern standard time, the time zone of New York City), if Iran does not open the strait. They have already been preemptively striking. He has already said he does not care if war crimes are committed, and that he does not feel like saying whether or not civilians will be targeted. AP News: Source. Please call your representatives and demand that they do their fucking jobs. Courtesy of Alejandra Caraballo on Bsky
Here's the number for the congressional switchboard. Please call your reps and senators. This man needs to be removed from office now. (202) 224-3121
You can also sign this petition by the ACLU.
Remember, Americans: If you feel powerless, imagine how the people who don't have the opportunity to ask their politicians not to do this feel. Remember the people at your mercy.
Trump is threatening to destroy Iran's entire civilization TONIGHT. That's a country of 90 million people.
I know you feel powerless. You think nothing you do will make a difference. Maybe that's true, but you don't know for sure.
You have to choose to act as if it is possible for your actions and words to make a difference. There is no other moral way to live.
This is something so incredibly easy you can do if you're American. Demand that congress immediately do whatever it can to stop him from committing a genocide of the Iranian people in your name. There is no excuse not to.
Updates April 7, 2026: Trump has openly threatened to obliterate “a whole civilization” if Iran does not agree to a deal. Given these repeat
every day I learn bot comments on ao3 are stooping lower and lower
anyway if you get a comment like this, chances are that they are bot and their goal is to do whatever it takes to get you to delete your work, most certainly (from what I’ve heard) it’s because they want to “safely” steal your work, use it to train their ai without you being able to rightfully claim ownership of your work since “there’s no proof that the work was stolen/was posted elsewhere first by you” because the original source has already been deleted.
THEY ARE ALL BOTS. at first it was “ao3 is deleting fics and your entire account will be affected unless you delete the fics yourself” then it was “this work contains contents that are illegal and they have already reported you and your fic to the police” (yes, that’s how desperate these bots are), and now it’s this.
report their comments to ao3 for spam—in this case, specifically, I think you may be able to report them for harassment too—and don’t pay attention to them, most importantly don’t delete your works, don’t feel discouraged by their comments. remember that they are bots and they mass comment something like this on people’s works at random to get people to delete their works. (or even if they’re not bot, they are still pathetic bullies who don’t deserve your time or attention.)

As more and more people are being forced to switch to Windows 11, Microsoft's most AI-malware-ridden OS yet, I've been putting together articles and links for how to undo the damage and save your battery, your RAM, your disk space, your privacy, and your sanity from this bullshit.
FIRST:
The easiest way to get rid of the majority of the bullshit that Windows is forcing on us, as of October 2025, is this one-stop-one-click debloat solution from a modern day hero:
A simple, lightweight PowerShell script to remove pre-installed apps, disable telemetry, as well as perform various other changes to customi
It's very easy, even if you're not tech savvy or get scared of pop up windows saying "ARE YOU SURE?" Yes, you are sure, I promise. This program takes maybe two minutes and will save you SO MUCH pain, time, and money (and exploitation).
Now that you've done that, here's the cleanup, to catch the little shit that the debloat might have missed (most of this will already be done by debloat, but hey, it's good to double check).
Microsoft wants to put AI everywhere on your PC, but you can take back control.
Even just reading about some of these features makes me angry. Fucking Copilot and "Discover" AI scrapers are in Notepad. NOTEPAD. And then there's this uncanny valley garbage:
No uncanny valley video calls for me, thanks! (Also, what else is it doing while it scans your face and listens to your calls? What else, microsoft? Because there was a lot of memory being assigned to this program for a simple "smooths your skin" add on).
Tired of Microsoft pushing ads throughout Windows 11? Here are the settings you can tweak to turn them off and reclaim some privacy.
The truly insane number of places they have stuck ads on your own home computer is sickening. Become Unmarketable.
Bonus:
Some background programs you probably don't need that are taking up space and how to remove them (Microsoft forums, 2024)
Your Samsung Galaxy Phone comes with 22 apps you don't need (Android Police, 2025)
How to disable the AI in firefox (still the only browser that lets you do this permanently) (Windows Report, 2025)

please reblog to spread this warning!!
Copyright class actions could financially ruin AI industry, trade groups say.
Further, some authors may never even find out the lawsuit is happening. The court's suggested notification scheme "would require class claimants to themselves notify other potential rightsholders," groups said, overlooking the fact that it cost Google $34.5 million "to set up a 'Books Rights Registry' to identify owners for payouts under the proposed settlement" in one of the largest cases involving book authors prior to the AI avalanche of lawsuits.
If you're an author, please use this database to see if you could qualify for that sweet GenAI lawsuit money.
Millions of books and scientific papers are captured in the collection’s current iteration.
I have never ever ever in my life asked someone to blaze my posts.
But if you want to throw me some pennies blaze this. I want ALL OF THE AUTHORS to know that they have the opportunities to get some sweet sweet GenAI lawsuit money.
Like to charge. Reblog to cast that Anthropic will have to pay out the ass.

most recent windows 11 update is wiping SSDs
there's been multiple reports of people's computers not booting properly after the windows 11 24H2 KB5063878 update due to it essentially wiping the hard drives (specifically SSDs) on computers and laptops. users have reported their SSDs aren't able to be read/recognized and unable to be seen in bios settings either.
sources: - https://www.windowslatest.com/2025/08/20/microsoft-is-investigating-windows-11-kb5063878-ssd-data-corruption-failure-issue/ - https://www.nichepcgamer.com/archives/windows11-24h2-issue-with-writing-to-the-ssd-is-this-caused-by-kb5063878-kb5062660.html
it's safe to assume all SSDs can be potentially affected by this update, so if you haven't updated yet turn off autoupdates
the bug caused by this update is seemingly triggered by installing/moving/deleting large files (50+ gb), which as simmers is what a lot of us do very pften
if you're unsure what windows version you currently have:
go to settings > system > about (at they very bottom) > and scroll down to see the current OS version
if you do currently have windows 11 24H2:
in settings, click 'Windows update' > 'Update history' > and under 'Quality Updates' check to see if the KB5063878 update is in the list of recently installed updates
don't panic, you can uninstall this update!
while in 'Update History', scroll to the very bottom and click 'Uninstall updates', and click 'Uninstall' for 'Security Update for Microsoft Windows (KB5063878)'
from there, give it some time to remove the update and after pause updates for as long as possible (5 weeks is the longest i think), but it will force an update if there's a big/official update for the fix
if you've already been affected and your computer is not starting or giving errors regarding your hard drive, i recommend visiting small pc repair shops to try data recovery as some have reported placing their SSD in an enclosure seems to work to recover the data
hopefully this is helpful is any kind of way! friendly reminder to back up your data to an external drive routinely!
The EU (still) wants to scan your private messages and photos
🚨 You WILL Be Impacted 🚨
Every photo, every message, every file you send will be automatically scanned—without your consent or suspicion.
If you live in the EU*, contact your MEPs NOW and tell them to vote NO! Go here to learn more & FIGHT BACK!

*especially if you live in Germany - they have not yet decided, and their opposition is crucial!
Please reblog! If the EU passes this, it weakens online privacy worldwide.
There is an easy mailing tool; however it is in english. I've translated in french below the readmore for people who would like to send the email in french. You can copy it and paste it inside the mailing tool provided by the linked website.
Madame, Monsieur,
Je vous écris pour exprimer mes inquiétudes a propos du "Règlement établissant des règles en vue de prévenir et de combattre les abus sexuels sur enfants", ou "Chat control", actuellement examiné sous la présidence danoise du Conseil européen.
Je ressent une grande inquiétude en particulier sur les points suivants:
Le réglement tel que proposé représente une violation sans précédent de notre droit fondamental a la vie privée. La surveillance en masse de communications privées est incompatible avec l'article 7 de la Charte européenne des droits de l'homme.
Affaiblir le chiffrement de bout-en-bout rendrait tous les citoyens européens vulnérables aux cybercriminels, régimes autoritaires, et interférence étrangère. Un chiffrement robuste est essentiel pour notre sécurité numérique et la compétitivité économique européenne.
Plusieurs experts techniques et organisations de protection de l'enfance ont souligné que cette approche ne protégera pas efficacement les enfants, et créera d'énormes violations de la vie privée. Nous avons besoin de solutions fondées sur des études avec des résultats tangibles.
Les scans de messages fondés sur l'IA produisent de nombreux résultats faux positifs, et pourraient potentiellement criminaliser des conversations et photographies de familles innocentes. L'implémentation technique proposée présente déjà de nombreux défauts et n'est pas fiable.
Cette proposition a été rejetée a plusieurs reprises ou délayée par des institutions démocratiques; le Parlement européen a voté contre la surveillance de masse, et le Conseil européen échoue à rassembler un soutien majoritaire depuis plus de deux ans.
Cette législation endommagerait l'économie europénne, pousserait des entreprises technologiques à se relocaliser, et affaiblirait notre compétitivité face aux régions du monde qui protègent les droits en lignes et l'innovation.
Je vous demande:
de voter contre toute proposition qui contient ou entraîne la surveillance de masse des communications privées
de protéger le chiffrement de bout-en-bout et le droit à la vie privée numérique
de soutenir des approches pour la sécurité de l'enfance qui se basent sur des études et preuves tangibles
d'examiner démocratiquement cette législation
La proposition actuelle n'offre pas d'équilibre entre la protection de l'enfance et les droits humains fondamentaux, et établirait un précédent dangereux an matière de surveillance numérique dans l'Union européenne.
Merci de porter votre attention à cette proposition et aux objections que j'ai listé.
Veuillez agréer l'expression sincère de mes sentiments, [Nom]

PSA: AO3 HAS BEEN INFECTED WITH AI BOT COMMENTS.
Have you seen one of these dipshits? If you post regularly on ao3, chances are YES, but more likely you didn't notice nor suspect it was a bot. Sometimes they start off nice, or even praise you before getting nasty out of nowhere, like so:
But much like Grok, their newest obsession is nazism.
I don't know where they come from, or what purpose this could possibly serve other than suicidebaiting random people in the internet, I guess; but apparently they've started parroting names from real users to send these comments and shifting their general length to go by undetected. Maybe those are scrappers trying to train 'reviewbots' to be sold as part of some scam service promising to give feedback for newbie writers, who the fuck knows.
Here are more examples of the tone and backhanded compliments you can find in these:
If you regularly post on AO3 or interact with writers in it, please pass this along so they don't feel insane receiving bombs in their inbox. This is ridiculous.
YouTube Blackout Update
KEEP THE BLACKOUT GOING FOR THE NEXT THREE DAYS! People unaware of this update are discovering what's going on. There's a reason why YouTube decided to do this on a Hump Day because viewers are either at school, work, or on vacation. Keep spreading the word!
Just got this interesting email. Target did something similar at the start of their boycott. I think they've noticed the blackout.
reposted with permission, please participate if you can!
hey guys just here to say that the new online safety act in the uk has blocked the suicide hotline
this is extremely problematic for very obvious reasons and i have no idea what the fuck this country is fucking coming to
childline has also been restricted
if you're a uk citizen and still haven't signed the petition please do so
We want the Government to repeal the Online Safety act.
even if you're not a uk citizen please reblog to spread the word !!!!!
this isn't safety, it's censorship
If you'd like to do something against this, the ACLU is starting a petition to have construction of this ended. Also, they're suing the Trump regime, which might be more practical. There's also the Friends of the Everglades, a smaller group filing a separate lawsuit against the camp on environmental grounds. You can sign the petition or donate to either group and support their actions.
"Alligator Alcatraz" is an environmental and humanitarian disaster. The cruelty must end. Join me in telling Congress to demand access and b
well this fucking sucks
imagine having to dox yourself because you made the mistake of watching a 4 hour mighty morphin power rangers retrospective and the ai decided you were 14 and not 42 like the actual demographic for those videos. sad
like this obviously sucks if you're an adult who enjoys watching animation or doll youtube videos but also i don't think youtube should be tracking 16 year olds because they're afraid of them hearing the word "fuck".
notice how all this censorship crap is happening at once? :)
ever since that right wing religious extremist organization Collective Shout targeted and manipulated payment processors (that are already run by right wing nutjobs) to go after steam and itchio, all this shit is starting to happen at the same time
it may be a tactical "overwhelm bomb" to make people feel powerless, and yeah it may not be that, but it's kinda strange that it's happening all at once
regardless, people need to start calling the shit out of mastercard and visa's phone lines even more
yall in the US need to start calling your representatives about KOSA especially
and people in the EU need to start calling whatever equivalent of a representative they have about all this bullshit as well
companies are now going to start trying to capitalize on invading privacy that has literally been protected for so goddamn long all because of these evil fuckwads that honestly need to get a nail put through their skulls
fucking make a fuss about it. complain the fuck out of shit and flood their goddamn call lines
Guys istg if this safety act thing makes me unable to use AO3 at some point I PROMISE you guys you will see me on the news
OP, if you could, please do help spread this around
