Strange racists and homophobes on the internet seem to have access to an alternate way cooler version of TV than me. "every white character on TV is in an interracial relationship" "every show has a gay couple in it" "main characters keep having to secretly be bisexual and nonbinary" "every show has gratuitous full frontal nudity" like damn promise?? What channel???

"Don't speak ill of the dead" my ass. If you didn't want people talking shit about you when you're no longer there to defend yourself, you should've been a better person.

NVIDIA REVEALED DLSS5 AND Y'ALL AREN'T ANGRY ENOUGH

Nvidia just revealed their next generation DLSS 5 and it is legitimately the worst thing to ever touch video games. Now, ontop of the video upscaling and frame generation, Nvidia is adding environmental and facial post processing and the results are fucking horrendous.

Grace DOES NOT LOOK LIKE GRACE she looks like every AIGenerated woman that is used to sell porn scams or what people 4Chan call the "ideal woman" - the ideal woman of them of course is a jaw lined, lip-filled and glossy, clean blonde woman with perfect white complexion. Because oligarchs (and those that blindly follow them) are built on white nationalism. This is their ideology, this is what the perfect woman looks like to them and what every woman should look like and they will stop at nothing to make it true...

Beyond this the end results are just straight up awful. Lighting is completely wrong, making environments unnecessarily bright and just removing shadows all together...

The use of the Oblivion remaster and Assassin's Creed Shadows are by far the worst offenders, every single usage of DLSS5 looks like they were taken from a Polaroid with too much exposure...

Above: Assassin's Creed Shadows

Above and Below: Elder Scrolls IV Remaster

Now you might be thinking "It's DLSS, it is an optional feature we can turn it off" and this is where I am going to have to put my tinfoil hat on for a bit and make a little theory:

Jensen has A LOT of money riding on AI being the future and on top of all the LLMs, consumer AI usage is also part of it, which includes GenAI photo editing - features that Samsung, Google, Apple and Meta all are trying to cram down your throats into thinking that it is normal to completely fake your life. This is just another method to that conditioning. Grace with DLSS5 is just another example of that slop and slapping it within a feature that in modern PC gaming has basically become a necessity, means that we will all be exposed to it - directly or through livestreams and let's plays. Nvidia has now introduced a scenario whether you either spend £5,000 to get what the actual game looks like, or be fed AI slop just to get your game to run.

In short, this shit is horrendous and is just a really shitty reshader with a 4chan woman filter built in. I just want an upscaler, that's all I wanted. Stop changing my game from the source material and actively making it worse.

It's an insult to my eyes, my monitor and the art team of the game I'm playing. Fuck you Nvidia. Fuck you Jensen.

And also absolutely fuck you to Digital Foundry to try and sell this as some innovative next step in gaming. I have lost all trust with that company.

Yeah, no thanks nvidia, this looks like complete ai generated ass. If I can ever afford another gaming pc, it will not have an nvidia card in it.

Irish comedian Vittorio Angelone vs. former Conservative MP Penny Mordaunt THE LAST LEG — 34.06 (6 March 2026)

[lyraeon]

who taught you that suffering in silence was noble, and how would you shutting up have benefited them?

[lyraeon]

this also counts for all those times you kept your mouth shut and didn't complain because you were being polite, and people would gladly have changed things if you had just asked. your suffering was not noble. you do not get a cookie for it, you do not get a tally mark next to your soul's score for grinning and bearing it. your suffering serves no purpose. break free of it. you deserve comfort.

“Not picking sides” when it comes to trans lives is picking sides. Neutrality favors the oppressor never the oppressed

[infectiouspiss]

if you, or anyone you know, still insists on enjoying harry potter, just know, they're directly and deliberately harming trans people.

if a childrens' book is more important to you than human rights, you don't deserve anything good to happen to you. i hope you rot. this includes trans people who continue to betray their own community for marauders fanfiction.

(link)

there are ZERO excuses, either you care about human rights, or you don't, and liking harry potter puts you firmly in the 'don't' category.

JKR is very transphobic but to be clear she is also very racist and antisemitic and ableist also

[madmadder]

I thought Tumblr would enjoy this

Edit: credit goes to @/pharmafemboy on Mastodon

[bignickrgxa2]

100 years in the future, kids are gonna be reading about how JKR contributed to the evil anti-trans bullshit and they won't even know what stupid book she wrote.

[safesoundxswift]

all these arguments about the new harry potter casting but all i can think is that every person involved in the series has willingly signed up to work with such an outspoken transphobe

important to state for the record that the British Supreme Court are idiots

they sound very scary when you describe them as The Supreme Court but remember, these are five dusty old cishets, one of whom is a weirdo who used to write homophobic documents for the Church of Scotland. I've seen so much commentary, even from pro-trans british journalists, about how the ruling is "forensic" and "balanced" and "rational" - no it isn't, it's clearly the work of people who don't know what they're talking about. You know how I know? They accidentally defined all bi women as lesbians. They said that the legal test for a lesbian is being an AFAB person attracted to another AFAB person, and at no point did anyone go, "Hang on a second, what about bi people?" Congratulations to terfs I guess, you were so excited to get rid of the T you got rid of the B!

This ruling is exactly what you'd expect from locking five old straight people in a room and asking them to set rules for queer life without speaking to any queer people. Their judgement is silly legal word games and it has no relation to real people's actual lives - if you wanna use lawyerspeak they've "undermined public confidence in the legal system." It's not even "the emperor has no clothes," it's "the emperor is naked and covered in shit."

i can kinda understand that politicians need to make a show of respect in their tone, like okay, probably a good thing that politicians don't get into the habit of publicly undermining judges. But any journalist who treats this ruling as remotely sensible is daft - only a straight person could make that kind of mistake

These judges are idiots - I use the word in the classical greek sense of someone who is not connected to and does not understand the life of the public, of the people. Their judgement is laughable and we don't have to respect them

I didn’t think this would affect me. I was reading about the news of the new law today and it didn’t shake me, it didn’t feel real.

Then, this evening, I watched the news and I saw the pure joy, elation and even tears (of happiness) on those women’s faces and it made me feel sick.

They were rejoicing over someone’s rights being taken away! They were fucking singing auld lang syne at this being passed! The utter DELIGHT on their faces made me feel SICK. I can’t believe this

There was an interview between a “pro women’s rights” activist and a trans women and it started off cordial but eventually the former started saying more hateful things toward the latter and misgendering her. Luckily the interviewer cut off some parts but it was so callous. It also seemed unfair that she kept getting cut off by her internet of some connection issue, unfortunately enabling the bigot to spew more and more shit.

Anyway, sorry for the rant but my heart goes out to everybody also affected by this, no matter how little or much it affects you.

I hope this comes across the way I want it to, and I hope that this law can be overturned as soon as possible.

Edit: the news calling this a feminist move is unacceptable. This is not feminism, this is bigotry and hatred
