This has been my main argument against "AI" from the very beginning.

OpenAI scraped the entire web. All of which had been a labor of love from humans. Wikipedia is the backbone of a lot of LLMs, and that was volunteer human labor. They stole it and now they're selling it back to us.

And worse, they're trying to destroy the free sources that they stole from. It's destruction of human knowledge on an unprecedented scale. The burning of the library of Alexandria has nothing on this.

liking a straight woman’s critique of a straight man’s misogynistic video and then taking back my like at the end when she tries to make a joke abt him being gay #lol we’re never getting out of here like we’re neverrrrrr getting out of here why are gay ppl driving the bus all of a sudden

[gokusclit]

this post is so funny because it has over 10k notes and no context but all you have to do is look at the time stamp to know exactly what the context is

"fun fact: as a DV survivor i cannot register to vote because doing so makes my address public. anyone who is fleeing or hiding from an abuser is automatically disenfranchised from the political process and this is a feature, not a bug"]

[taehyungsgrowl]

I don’t know of the original poster might not be aware

but!

if you’ve been a victim of domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking, you can enroll into the address confidentiality program (free of cost!) and be registered to vote as an absentee voter and your name and address will not be made available for the public

it is super easy to get enrolled - the application takes like 5 minutes, but it has to be with someone who is certified to do it (most likely an advocate! try going to a family justice center in your area or calling the Attorney Generals office in your area!!!!)

ALSO : 

you don’t need to have any police reports or have a protection order to qualify!!! you just have to sign stating that you’ve been a victim of one of the aforementioned crimes.

The Slow Release of the Epstein Files Is Psychological Conditioning . . . and It’s Working

The public is being shown just enough to know the truth, and to understand that nothing is going to happen.

Do Y’all remember the Pentagon Papers? When Daniel Ellsberg leaked them in 1971, the government panicked precisely because they all came out at once. The documents landed as a single, overwhelming moral event. They collapsed official narratives about Vietnam in one blow and ignited public outrage that couldn’t be staggered or softened. The lesson power learned from that moment was not “don’t lie,” but “never let the truth arrive whole again.” Since then, exposure has been redesigned to arrive in pieces that are manageable, deniable, and endlessly debatable. Do Y’all remember MKUltra? When details of the CIA’s human experimentation program began leaking in the 1970s, they didn’t surface as a single reckoning. They emerged through hearings, partial disclosures, missing files, and official shrugs. By the time the public understood the scale, which involved drugging civilians, experimenting on prisoners, and destroying records, the moment for accountability had already passed. The psychological effect was profound because people learned that even when the state admits to grotesque abuse, nothing necessarily follows. Remember Edward Snowden and the NSA surveillance revelations? This is one of the clearest modern parallels to the Epstein files debacle. At first, the disclosures were shocking. We saw mass data collection, warrantless surveillance, and the scope of the security state laid bare. But instead of a single, sustained confrontation, the information also arrived in waves. Each revelation triggered a brief spike of concern then followed by normalization. Over time, the public absorbed the idea that privacy was already gone and resistance was futile. Surveillance didn’t end. Folks simply adapted their expectations downward. The system didn’t change, but the public psyche did. You can also look at how the Catholic Church handled its abuse revelations. For decades, cases surfaced one diocese at a time, one report at a time, and one country at a time. The incremental exposure delayed full institutional reckoning and allowed the Church to posture as “addressing the issue” while continuing to protect itself. By the time the pattern was undeniable, many people were already exhausted, cynical, or resigned. Again, horror became procedural. What all these cases share is the same psychological outcome. When wrongdoing is revealed slowly, the public never experiences a unified moral demand moment. Instead, people are trained to live alongside the knowledge. To scroll past it. To argue about details. To accept that “this is just how it is” and nothing happens to powerful rich men.

So if for some goddamn reason you still have tiktok? Maybe delete it

This shit is dystopian as fuck

Delete it as soon as you can do not fucking use the app at all

[crow-caller]

Yeah, so, "TikTok is officially under the control of a cadre of pro-Trump billionaires including Larry Ellison."

hey did you know people have been like 'ugh I hate MODERN FASHION why don't women dress like women any more' for literally hundreds of years

While making queer historical romances, I ended up researching how gender lines might plausibly be blurred in historical fashion and what the 'limits' might be before the wearer was really pushing scandal.

But I'm also interested in going FURTHER back, because even in the same culture and location, clothing we think of as very gendered nowadays often totally reverses. (Big surprise: pink and lace aren't actually biologically linked to your junk.)

Anyway, I just unlocked a blog with some highlights and fun bits from the research I did, where these pictures are from! Read for: women in trousers, boys in heels, and offensively soft 1763 boys who turn out to be 'improperly' bold women

"Pride is not a party"

Yes the fuck it is, stop being a baby

Yes pride is a riot and a fight and yadda yadda yadda but you are not revolutionary for sucking the joy out of queerness. Sometimes, pride is a party. It is a celebration of the fact that we are here, we're queer, and we're not going anywhere. And that is just as important as throwing bricks and fighting cops, actually.

If your activism doesn't allow you to enjoy the fruits of your labors you will burn out babe. Go suck some dick. Hit on that lesbian. Get the faggy haircut!!! Dance, for the love of god.

Remember when people demonized protesters because "What if an emergency vehicle is trying to get through?"?

Well, here we have ICE literally blocking emergency personnel from attending to an emergency.

So, when are ICE going to be classified as monsters the same way protesters have been?
