“WANNA SEE MORE ON THREADS?”

[adorabiliastudio]

Anybody else really frustrated about meta just going "we've been using your art and content for our ai, hehe. You can try to opt out now if you can figure it out ;p"

META fuckin sucks

And I'm pretty sure most people know it but HOLY SHIT a literal senator got told to kill himself, reported it, and HE got in trouble. the post was marked as 'not a problem'. Him complaining that this happened was then LOADED with people calling him a freak, telling him to man up and shut up and "Well what did you expect, it's Meta"

Like honestly I would EXPECT a site that thinks it wants to be THE site to go to to do things like -not- let people tell people to off themselves, actually enforce the theoretical rules they supposedly have- but as many times as I've gone: hey you've got an open phishing scam I've seen and reported on TEN DIFFERENT ACCOUNTS, I inevitably get back something in the vein of

"Yeahhhh.... we're understaffed and we KNOW they're breaking our TOS but uh... we don't actually GIVE a fuck so... good luck."

From “Guardian”:

“Meta censors pro-Palestinian views on a global scale, report claims”

Anyone surprised?

Less than a week and Threads already has email campaigns sending out petitions aimed at how absolutely ineffectual their moderation is.

This is fucking meta

PAUL: Let me ask you something. Are you two...

CLIVE: What?

PAUL: You know...

PAUL does a very weird, very long charade, demonstrating various ‘group’ and ‘one on one’ homosexual practices.

CLIVE: No!

PAUL: Okay, that’s great. I just wondered. I’m cool with it. Everyone’s ‘bi’ where I’m from. It’s all about the pleasure thing, you know? We’ve evolved beyond paranoid notions of gender identity. I mean, procreation is only the functional aspect of sexual congress right? The human race is fairly advanced but most males still act like a cornered tiger if you imply they like ‘smoking the bone’ and let’s face it they probably do. Look at single sex, empirical institutions, boarding schools, prisons, pirate ships, places where the choice has been removed, everyone’s banging everyone else and there isn’t a whiff of socio-cultural angst. Get out into the real world and guys are getting smacked into the chops for wearing pink socks. You think you’re so sophisticated because you can distinguish yourself from your own reflection but ultimately you’re part of a deeply neurotic species and you'd all be a lot better off if you stopped worrying and learned to love the bum.

(c) from the 'Paul' script

finally, there's that wonderful sci-fi proposition, roughly: 'in an evolved society everyone is bi'. i.... actually have no idea where that comes from. i can only speculate about those people whose sexual and/or romantic orientation specificially excludes one or more genders. to me (searching, but roughly asexual panromantic) this seems weird and somewhat wrong, yes. 'why don't you just get over yourselves' (and learn to love the bum). i have NO bloody idea where a straight person might be coming from, subscribing to something like this. okay, i can read this a joke, as a comedic take. BUT in order to get it you already have to somewhat (subconsciously) enjoy this (sentimentalised, illogical, plain wrong - but also strangely alluring) proposition. ...or is it just a universally recognised part of the queer discourse? obvs extremist, but nevertheless loud & existing? hmmmm.

Now he is back. But fucking tex got stabbed in the face. God. Damnit.
