good morning and fuck america

ALSO, notice the lie: It is NOT a 51% chance that the US bombs Iran, it's that 51% of the people betting about the US bombing Iran tonight think that it will happen. The reason Polymarket made that tweet is because they are attempting to legitimize gambling on people's lives by pretending that doing so is somehow a source of information (and, BTW, even if that were true, which is it isn't, they fail to justify how having that information would be of any help to anyone).

A casino may as well post a news release that says "BREAKING: 68% chance of winning on 14 red on table 7"

Also keep in mind that it's entirely possible for someone with insider knowledge of the administration's plans to place a bet on something that they know is going to happen and take a huge payout. DT Jr. is an investor in and an unpaid adviser to Polymarket (and a paid adviser to Kalshi). Shayne Coplan, the founder of Polymarket, has publicly come out as being in favor of insider trading.

This is why the ridiculous tiktok and youtube banned terms lists bothered me so, then hear kids using euphamisms instead even irl. JUST USE THE WORDS.

The website linked through qr-code appears to no longer be online.

For example: my post on the removal of the words "bisexual" and "transgender" from the stonewall national monument page

^ March 7, 2025 article by nyt about 'flagged' and removed words. Includes less words than previous reblog, but time has passed since then.

Somewhere after Jan 15, 2025, the entire reproductiverights.gov website went offline.

The reblogged list is from pen.org/banned-words-list, updated May 28, 2025

While not all these words are fully banned, they are still 'to be used less' or used to flag material for 'further review'.

I therefore consider it right to say this is true

why can rockstar games institutionalise you for life like nikita kruschev for being autistic

He didn't steal 10 million dollars. They made that number up as a loss, they never fucking had it. Rockstar has spent more than a billion fucking dollars on GTA VI and will likely make billions more when it gets released.

Uber is a fucking shell game of a company designed to leech investor capital and output bootleg cabs.

Nvidia posted a profit in 2023 of $4.37 billion. This is like someone stealing less than a penny from me.

And they lock this kid in a prison hospital for LIFE?

Capitalism is disgusting.

Nobody should buy GTA til they free Arion Kurtaj

he didn't even get to stand *trial*. because he's autistic. he's in an institution for life for hacking while autistic, without trial.

hey yall remember this

not to be overly political and dry, and also not to imply my stances on things have been exactly obscure by diaclaiming that, but recent events have revealed to a startling extent how much the average american's understanding of west asia is about on par with what one could absorb by having the intellectual curiosity of a human sea anemone

toskarin

the sheer number of opinions that can only be understood by tacking on "the person writing this believes iran is the same as iraq, both of which they cannot distinguish from afghanistan because they sleepwalked through the US War On Terror, and they also believe every Muslim Country is two cities in the middle of an enormous empty wasteland that exists only to be crossed by bandits, governed only by a single head of state who exerts power on his full lonesome" is actually madness inducing

You know what happens when you don’t have a “valid” social security card, driver’s license or birth certificate anymore? You become undocumented. And you know where they’re putting undocumented people? In the all the warehouses they’re converting into fucking prison camps.

If they can invalidate anyone’s documentation without reason or notice, they can invalidate yours.

Not "The Character did nothing wrong" or "The Character is irredeemably awful" but a secret third thing: The Character may display moments of deep love & compassion, may even have a strong sense of ethics, and may also be capable of brutal cruelty that is irreconcilable with those traits. The constant tension between the different sides of The Character's nature is exactly what makes them compelling, and attempting to reduce them down to simply "a terrible person" or "innocent & misunderstood" is missing the point of the questions a media with nuanced characters is asking you to consider

"Does this mean I can't criticize Japanese media when it does X or Y?"

No. I criticize animated shows frequently myself and have multiple posts hating on seasonal isekai specifically. The thing is that I keep it precise rather than over-generalizing my complaints.

The simplest way I can explain the problem is with this image.

There's a frequent thing I notice where people will stereotype the whole artistic medium as everything in it is exactly the same (typically weird porn) except for a couple of token exceptions like Dungeon Meshi or Ghibli movies.

And you have to realize how ignorant that sounds. It's like if I went around saying I hate books because I assumed they were all misogynistic booktok romantasy, or that I hate film because I assumed it's all MCU movies, or that I hate video games because I assumed all games are generic gacha built primarily to drain your bank account.

These sub-categories all exist and are really popular, but obviously they're not the whole of the medium, right? And if I was to assume otherwise that says more about the limits of my experience and unwillingness to look beyond what's currently most popular than anything else, right?

And do you notice how it's kind of suspicious that things like Japanese visual novels so often get reduced to "porn games" for having sex scenes at all (even if they're a very minor part of the story) while western RPGs like Baldur's Gate 3 (which I liked a lot, don't get me wrong) get to dodge that label despite sometimes actually having both more sex scenes and kinkier sex scenes? That game had people going wild over the fact that you can fuck a guy shapeshifted into a bear.

Feels like kind of a double standard for what exactly gets called "degenerate art" around here.

hello. this message is for trans people in kansas who are looking to leave asap. I live in colorado, in a relatively cheap rural area. the hospital I work at is hiring a multitude of positions; the job is fine and the wages are adequate at worst and good at best. this is a trans-friendly community in a trans-friendly state. I am happy to act as a reference for you and am happy to connect you to housing resources. please hit up my ask box or email me. feel free to share this post with people who may need this information. thank you, good luck.

xochihuacoyotl

so. not to doxx myself (i've talked about this here before though) but i live in Kansas. and my license was just revoked very suddenly and immediately because i'm trans and had changed my gender marker.

so now i cannot legally drive or vote until/unless i let them force me to carry around a card that misgenders me and outs me as trans, because i certainly don't look female anymore.

xochihuacoyotl

so hey if you have the means and want to help with any of this, please consider donating to the ACLU of Kansas because they are at least going to try to do something to push back against this, and i'm such a panicky wreck that the only thing i can do to get through my immediate gut reaction to having my license revoked tonight (i cannot stress enough that i received the letter today saying that my license is no longer valid tomorrow) is focus on the fact that there's at least one entity trying to protect me and my fellow trans kansans.

More info on what's been happening in Kansas:

"The legislature did not include a grace period."

paleolithique

per that link from Erin Reed: Under Kansas law, driving without a valid license is a class B misdemeanor punishable by up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine—though first-time offenders are more likely to face a citation and fine. A conviction, however, triggers an automatic 90-day license suspension.

the ACLU of Kansas is asking for those affected by SB244/the DMV/bathroom bill to fill out a form - Bathroom Bill and Mandated Government Identity Changes (click the hyperlinked "this form") - direct link (Microsoft Forms).

the form asks for contact information, and states they may be able to offer legal assistance or direct you to resources helpful to you

directly quoted text from the header on the form:

The state of Kansas recently passed SB 244, which will ban transgender people from changing the gender markers on their driver’s licenses or state IDs and also ban trans people from using the restroom that aligns with their gender identity in state, county, or local government buildings, among other things. If you are a transgender resident of Kansas who will be directly impacted by SB 244, the ACLU Foundation (“ACLUF”) wants to hear about it. We might be able to help. Please tell us by filling out the form below. We receive many requests for help, so please bear with us as we try to get back to you. We’ll tell you if we can offer legal assistance, or if we are able to find other resources that might be helpful to you. If this is time sensitive, please contact another attorney.

Hey do y’all remember when Boeing fucking killed a guy last year. And we all said “huh I guess Boeing fucking killed a guy” and then went on with our lives. And everybody knew that Boeing had fully just fucking executed a guy and nothing came of it. Like there was no police investigation no justice no nothing. Like literally EVERYBODY knew that Boeing had full on murdered a guy to silence him and there wasn’t any consequences for them. Kinda crazy.

and there was even less talk when openai did the exact same thing more recently

flamie87

So for those who are, very understandably uninitiated on this story:

On 23 October last year (2024) the New York Times published an interview with former OpenAI researcher Suchir Balaji who worked on organising and gathering data for OpenAI until 2022 when he begun thinking about the morality of it. He eventually came to the conclusion that what OpenAI is doing blatantly violates copyright law and decided to leave the company altogether in August 2024.

After he came out with this accusation he was set to appear in court to testify against OpenAI’s data-gathering practices, something which had the potential of being a complete disaster for the company and the generative AI industry as a whole.

That was until 26 November, just days before he was due to appear in court, when he suddenly and mysteriously was found dead inside his own apartment. Investigators concluded that the death was self-inflicted, something which his family has disputed.

There was also “sign of struggle in the bathroom and looks like someone hit him in the bathroom based on blood spots”, and his apartment showed signs of having been ransacked for evidence: “The pin drive is missing. His computer was messed up.”.

Overall it feels pretty clear-cut what happened, that is to say that OpenAI had him killed because he was a legitimate threat to their business, indicating that they are fully aware that the way they’re gathering data is completely illegal.
