Claude cannot actually feel, it can't think, it doesn't have opinions, it isn't self aware, it doesn't have context outside the immediate window you are using it with. By asking for its comment on war crimes you are legitimizing the idea that it can be used autonomously or for war at all. Stop it.
AOC came out swinging against age verification legislation and somehow the entire tech press seems to not have noticed?
A dramatic image with bold text about Idaho House Committee's passage of a social transition ban, set against a grayscale domed ceiling background. Transcribed Text: BREAKING Idaho House Committee Passes Extreme Social Transition Ban HB 822 is alarming government overreach that would allow Idaho politicians to decide how youth dress and act.
BREAKING: An Idaho House Committee passed HB 822. This dangerous and unconstitutional bill would require trusted adults, such as teachers and counselors, to monitor children for signs that they are not conforming to gender stereotypes. Learn more about the bill: buff.ly/7kw0CXu
Jello and the Dead Kennedys were instrumental in shaping my ethics back in the day. Truly a remarkable human being. I wish him the best.
we had a real asshole donor who tried to pry a bunch of information about a renter from us
if you want to offset the $2000 this rent cop decided not to donate, please
venmo @colocha_rachel so we can pay the rent
because the familes we are helping aren’t poverty porn, they are PEOPLE
goddamn is this a breath of fresh air after Allred 2024
They truly want you to believe this shit is inevitable and actually better than human endeavor but the one surefire thing that can stop it is not agreeing to the first two things. That’s all! That also means not willingly feeding it. It’s not difficult to avoid using it!
This is the last. fucking. straw. The shambling corpse of the so-called NYT is finally dead and buried.
And fucking Blood Meridian of all things! The hubris!! These idiots got in the ring with Muhammad Ali like they had any chance at all. Shame. SHAME.
There's also the fact that Rowling has been fairly explicit that the money she earns through Harry Potter she's putting into anti-trans lobbying efforts.
There's a difference, IMHO, between an artist with a shitty private life, and an artist using their money to fund regressive social change.
my grandparents thought the start of WWII meant the 2nd Coming was nigh; my mom and her sisters were confident it’d happen when JFK (a CATHOLIC who totes followed the ANTICHRIST) got elected; I was told it’d drop in the year 2000 (since Jesus’s birthdate was miscalculated by a few years); yada yada
This tweet from Alex Hirsch will always be evergreen.
Disney and Pixar are complete fucking cowards.
Why pay money for ARCs, which are explicitly marked not for sale, when you could win one, AND get stickers? seananmcguire.com/blog/2026/03...
the whole purpose of the post-menopausal woman is to prevent the rise of generative AI
TAPPER: You know that if you vote against an additional $50 billion of funding for operations in Iran, that vote will be cast as you voting against the troops.
CHRIS MURPHY: Come on. The American people do not want this war. If you support the troops, you should be voting against this war.
btw about that pixar thing, the reason why these people think having a conversation about gay people with kids is difficult is because they don't know a way to say to their kid "gay people are normal but you are not allowed to be one" without sounding like a bigot (there is a reason for that)
yes yes treason etc but also can we talk about "they'll tell me things my own country won't tell me"
my man, that's called "getting played". you got played
A mockup of the Blades '69 book where the 69 has been crossed out and replaced with 69 in bright purple. Below that, the bio for April Kit Walsh which reads: April Kit Walsh writes games about feelings, vulnerability, and caring for one another, including Thirsty Sword Lesbians and End of the Line. She used to be a swordfighting ballerina, but claims those days are behind her; she has absolutely no idea who that masked heroine with the sword and the tutu might be. When not writing RPGs, April is a civil liberties attorney working to protect the rights of criminal defendants, activists, journalists, and everyone else impacted by the technologies of control or empowerment. Next to the bio, the description for the $420k stretch goal: Blades '69: The Sexual Revolution The 1960s were a time when the counterculture challenged establishment norms around sex, love, family, and a person's right to choose what happens to their own body. How does this conflict manifest in Doskvol? How does the Consensus exercise control through these dimensions of human experience, and what struggles and delightful deviancies does your group want to explore? Blades '69 is a combination of a worldbuilding exercise and safety tool to help you bring themes of both real-world and fantastical sexual liberation to your game.
yeah yeah we saw all you sly posters going "Blades '68? ...just ONE off."
Well we're not COWARDS. Challenge accepted!
At $420k we'll commission April Kit Walsh (designer of Thirsty Sword Lesbians) to write up... Blades '69
Time to put your money where your mouth is.

I'm no fancy political consultant, but, hey, if you're in Dem comms, you should notice that Fox News panicked over Trump wearing a cheap Trump merch baseball cap to receive the bodies of soldiers he got killed for no reason he can articulate, and you should absolutely lean into that.
The president who took us to a war nobody wanted (and is covering for powerful pedophiles) is now holding our government hostage until Congress passes a law that makes it easier for him to maintain power
Imagine if this were happening in another country
this part TOO
This FOl enquiry for the Guardian has taken up a great deal of my life for the past 2 years. (1/3)
Selling ARCs hurts everyone involved in making the book happen--AND it's a dick move. Please don't be an asshole about us trying to give you fun, free, cool shit.
Don't buy or sell advance reader copies.
Two reminders:
1. If you are at Emerald City Comic-Con, we are doing a second round of OMENS OF CHAOS giveaways tomorrow at 2pm at the Penguin Random-House booth! This exclusive ARC giveaway will get you the book almost exactly one month early!
...but only a month. One month. No more.
The thing these parents are afraid of is having to explain to their kids that their hearts are full of hate.
Pixar out here desperately chasing that core demographic of the dozen loudest pedophiles who post multiple 3 hour long youtube videos about each movie complaining about which underage Pixar characters they want to fuck, along with scattered references to the 14 words.
This is a photo of Graham Platner with a man wearing an 88 shirt, who also seems to think that Graham Platner will "Stand against The Jews."
Short thread.
IF Gavin Newsom is on a ballot
THEN me and many others will refuse to vote for him
THEREFORE instead of bitching at me and others like me
YOU should take the *years* you have and make sure that doesn't happen if you actually fucking care
BECAUSE my position is immutable
I can’t believe how stupid everything is
