LOOOOOL HAD TO CHECK

Pretty sure I'm blocked due to the "Anti-AI" blocklist, but look, the block is mutual! You suck is all KINDS of ways, don't you, nerd?

Proud to be on the AI-Hater list and blocked by a bluesky member I never interacted with!

Trump pressured Republican states to rig their electoral maps, because he saw a midterm disaster coming for his party. He knows they will lose big without rigged districts. Virginia can level the playing field and stop his newest scam tomorrow by voting YES for fair election maps. #VoteYesVirginia

for the OFMD crowd who might now know, this means that Doug will now be creative director of Info Wars

It’s finally happened. After 18 months. Finally, a media merger you can root for.

But it is tho…chatting with ai should be considered like chatting with a malevolent demon that may seem like it can help you but you can never trust it and it may well drive you into madness

One of the Sandy Hook families lives in hiding 1500 mi away from their baby’s grave due to people stalking them.

The graves of multiple children have been defaced.

One of the fathers had to submit DNA evidence to prove his son was a REAL HUMAN BEING after Alex Jones’ book said he never existed.

Absolutely incredible.

User dratsab huffman asks the question: To amuse myself i researched revacholian nationalism as well as measure head's race theories etc etc and focused my character on "traditionalism". Anyway, ive noticed that if i ever click dialogue options that are in tune with my character's political compass, i lose morale. Whats the point of having this as a mechanic if its going to be so detrimental and feels like the character doesnt believe he actually is this or something... is there anyway to overcome that kind of morale loss?

Recalcitrant Jester replies: Being a fascist is a deeply demoralizing experience. You have to not only radically alter your worldview to make reality fit into your unhinged schema, but that worldview is predicated on the notion that the weakest, most unworthy degenerate worms on the planet are somehow overpowering and humiliating you on a moment-by-moment basis. In mechanical terms too, the lowered morale also reduces your volition score—the more you indulge in your delusions, the less you are able to exercise self-control and self-awareness. The point of fascism being mechanically detrimental—the ludonarrative theme—is that fascism is an unequivocally self-destructive ideology, the practice of which only serves to nurture that self-destructive urge and turn it outward. It's not like Dark Side points in KotOR where you can access cool new abilities and get to enjoy being such a nasty lil rascal; you are not supposed to enjoy being a fascist in Disco Elysium. Fascism is the act of self-deception in service of making your own life more painful, solely for the payoff of making life more painful for people you dislike.

I think about this all the time

strange these op-eds about women being too angry have all come out the last few days when during the same time there's also been a massive investigation published on an online rape academy with millions of viewers a month and none of them have bothered to even cover it, even as news

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

The astonishingly cruel anti-trans “Kennedy Declaration” has been vacated 👏👏👏👏👏

You always have to pay attention to what is actually happening, not what Trump says is happening. Because Trump lies about everything. Too often media serves as Trump’s daily stenographer, passing along his propaganda verbatim.

At one point David said to Rhys: “I think about you all the time.”

GB News headline: GP who asked Muslim woman to remove her veil 'because he was struggling to understand her' is struck off.

Was this GP struck off just because he asked a Muslim woman to remove her veil?

How likely does that sound? 🤷‍♀️

Did he actually ask her to remove her veil 'because he was struggling to understand her?'

Let's take a look at what really happened based on the tribunal reports...

Die Klimakrise wartet nicht, es ist höchste Zeit für die Energiewende! Doch statt einem konsequenten Ausbau der Erneuerbaren Energien bekommen wir Gesetzesänderungen der Gaslobby.
Deswegen demonstrieren wir morgen mit einem breiten Bündnis für die Energiewende. Sei dabei um 12 Uhr am Jungfernstieg!

(S+) »Demokratie leben!«: Was steckt hinter dem großen Umbau bei der Demokratieförderung? Bundesfamilienministerin Karin Prien kürzt mehr als 200 Projekten das Geld. Insider sagen: weil sie ihr zu links sind.

Bundesfamilienministerin Karin Prien kürzt mehr als 200 Projekten bei »Demokratie leben!« das Geld. Menschen, die im Ministerium arbeiten, sagen: weil sie der Hausspitze zu links sind. Auch interne Dokumente, die wir einsehen konnten, nähren den Verdacht.

Neuer Proteste von Fridays for Future: Danke, Katherina Reiche Die Klimabewegung hat bisher nicht an ihre Erfolge von 2019 anknüpfen können. Sie könnte aber vom jetzigen Momentum der Spritpreiskrise profitieren.

„Die fossile Ideologie von Wirtschaftsministerin Katherina Reiche und Kanzler Merz wird dieser Tage genauso deutlich wie der Unwille oder das Unvermögen der SPD-Spitze, sich dagegen zu wehren.“ Am Samstag geht’s dagegen auf die Straße. ✊💚

Exactly one year ago today:

Der linke Teil der erdzugewandten Seite der Sonne in gelber Farbe. Auf der Oberfläche ein bis zwei hellere Gebiete, wobei von einem dieser Gebiete sehr schöne und filigrane Bögen ausgehen. Besonders spektakulär ist aber, was sich links am Rand oder genauer gesagt dahinter abspielt. Da befindet sich offenbar noch knapp hinter dem Horizont eine Aktive Region. Man ahnt sie als hellen Fleck und es sieht so aus, als ob von dort gewaltige Fächer und Schleier aus Licht ins Schwarz des Alls führen.

Guten Morgen zusammen - wie immer mit einem aktuellen Bild der Sonne, heute wieder per Satellit SDO.

Linda Yaccarino replies to a Zohran Mamdani tweet to say that taxing rich people's penthouses is "actually one of the scariest things I have ever seen"

Zohran Mamdani said he's going to start taxing rich people who buy luxury housing in NYC but don't actually live in there, and the former CEO of Twitter/X called it "actually one of the scariest things I have ever seen."

It’s a brilliant tax because when they say “but the billionaires will leave” you get to say “they already don’t live there”

It's everywhere. They have apologized and are working on it.
