A fluffy tuxedo cat is sitting in a fall tree - the leaves are in vivid yellow, red and hot pink tones and frame the cat against blue sky

a painting of a black cat with big round eyes sitting in a pumpkin patch. in the background we can see a countryside landscape with fields and a small cottage. there are chickens in the grass nearby and a wheelbarrow filled with pumpkins with a black cat sleeping on them. there's also a black cat in front of the house door in the distance. the color palette is warm oranges, pinks, yellows and muted greens.

When we write or draw porn or erotica, we get banned from having a bank account and our livelihoods get seized even if we give it away for free.

When billionaires steal what we've written or drawn to churn out a slop-approximate of porn, they're allowed to charge for it.

Oh good, ChatGPT is getting "erotica for verified adults" later this year

We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right.

Now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools, we are going to be able to safely relax the restrictions in most cases.

In a few weeks, we plan to put out a new version of ChatGPT that allows people to have a personality that behaves more like what people liked about 4o (we hope it will be better!). If you want your ChatGPT to respond in a very human-like way, or use a ton of emoji, or act like a friend, ChatGPT should do it (but only if you want it, not because we are usage-maxxing).

In December, as we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our “treat adult users like adults” principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults.

Spoiler alert- it was a Catholic hospital. I’ve been reading stories about people being denied miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy care at Catholic hospitals for well over a decade now, and people have definitely died because of these policies, but maternal mortality data is imperfect.

The thing about the Nazi chat is these people turned the country upside down and got a lot of people fired to be able to say those things in comfort.

No one should be surprised by Tr*mp giving presidential medals of honor to insidious men when no politician, Democrat or Republican, ever had the courage to rescind the Medals of Honor to the men who slaughtered unarmed innocents at the Wounded Knee Massacre.

This is some of the best political news I've seen in a very long time.

There's a clear a way to end the Citizens United precedent by changing state incorporation laws - and now luminaries in both parties are forcing a vote on it in the 2026 election.

Looking back, Trump saying at a national debate that Haitians were eating people’s pets was not shunned enough.

I cannot believe so many people let Trump, Vance et al get away with that level of racism.

I dunno I’m retroactively disgusted and pissed.

Young Republicans joke about rape and gas chambers, use slurs, and talk about how much they love Hitler.

This isn't an exaggeration. These are the current and future leaders of the Republican Party, all who have 10x the funding of Dem youth orgs.

everyone needs to internalize that this is just how all republicans are and when nancy pelosi said "the country needs a strong republican party" she meant that more people like this should be powerful. they are all like this! they all think just like this and like trump and they love it and it's fun

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

This is the who the gop is

They cannot be negotiated with. They cannot be compromised with. Anyone still arguing to reach across the aisle needs to be primaried and forgotten. Any pundits or columnists arguing for bipartisanship need to be ignored

Wanted to take a moment to say thanks for posting the lists you have been and to say I’ve been sharing the info and redirecting my spending because of it. If a lot of us alter our spending behavior, it’s gonna be felt and acknowledged. Big time. But meanwhile, it’s just the right thing to do.
