part of what got south korea out under the thumb of authoritarian dictatorships and to real elections (1987) and free and fair ones (1992) were large, mass protests and demonstrations.

which is such an anodyne way of describing what happened. it makes it sound bloodless.

it wasn't.

my country elected a fascist 10 years ago and he's now arguably the most unpopular pm we've ever had and we still can't get rid of him because once a fascist gets into power, typically you do not get them out without a whole lot of mass violence. Don't be like us.

Happy to block anyone whose contribution in this moment is to immediately police the language people are using to describe fed invasions of their cities. People are going to be imprecise. They are experiencing immense trauma. If you haven't had a gun pointed at you recently, maybe sit this one out

ONCE UPON A TIME - IN 1941 TO BE EXACT - THERE LIVED IN A GREAT, TALL FOREST - CALLED NEW YORK - EIGHT MEN WHO WERE WRITING AN ENCYCLOPEDIA.

THEY WERE SO WISE THEY KNEW EVERYTHING: THE DEPTH OF THE OCEANS, AND WHAT MAKES A GLOW WORM GLOW, AND WHAT TUNE NERO FIDDLED WHILE ROME WAS BURNING. BUT THERE WAS ONE THING ABOUT WHICH THEY KNEW VERY LITTLE - AS YOU SHALL SEE...

This is Chop. He was shot and killed by masked assailants in plain clothes who go by ICE. They showed up at his door "looking for migrants after receiving a tip." The son of the family asked if they could wait before entering the home while he put Chop away in the bathroom, as the dog can be aggressive with strangers.
According to the family, it is at this point that the son went to his pickup truck to retrieve his ID and a Border Patrol agent entered the home, opened the bathroom door, and shot Chop. None of the agents helped the family, who desperately tried to render aid to Chop, as he bled to death on the kitchen floor. Unsurprisingly, the agent who shot their dog then hid from them and refused to give his name. Even more unsurprising, they did not find any evidence of the migrants they were there to terrorize in the first place.
Do not open your door for these fucking losers. Rest easy Chop

I can also confirm that many white people care more about harm to dogs than harm to Black/brown people, so this is not a bad way to draw them in to the evils being done by this regime.

It feels like such a slap in the face to sex workers and nsfw artists who are actively being censored by payment processors atm. Of course visa/mc are ok with this because its a rich white guy doing it AND they get access to all that VERY PROFITABLE PII. Disgusting.

I don't know what's worse, the people who forgot about it entirely, or the (nonblack) people who say things with teary eyes like "George Floyd taught me racism was real." like Amadou Diallou, Michael Brown, Sandra Bland, and Trayvon Martin never existed. They faded away into the ash pit of history.

On this day, in 1973, George Floyd was born.

47 years later, the shocking audacity of his murder would unite Americans of all races, classes, religions, & political beliefs in believing that racism was a bad thing for five minutes.

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.

there is no such thing as a good Nazi, and there is no such thing as a good Republican.

to paraphrase a Republican:

for the good of society ... the Republican Party must be eradicated from public life entirely — the whole preposterous ideology, at every level.

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.

The "study" is by Eric Kaufman, a DeSantis supporter who left his post at the University of London citing "cancel culture." He believes that trans identity is a social contagion.

Here's what he believes his study proves.

Executive Summary
• After surging in the 2010s and 20s, trans and queer identities are in decline among young Americans
• The transgender share among university students peaked in 2023 and has almost halved since, from
nearly 7 percent to under 4 percent
• The share of students identifying as not heterosexual fell by around 10 points in the same period
• The decline in non-heterosexual share is concentrated in the queer or other sexual categories (i.e.
pansexual, asexual) and, to a lesser extent, bisexuality
• Today’s freshmen are less BTQ+ than seniors, suggesting that decline will continue
• The decline in BTQ+ identification does not appear to be connected to lower social media use, religious
revival, a shift to the political right or lower support for woke ideology
• There is evidence that improved mental health has reduced BTQ+ identification

A Facebook group that shared information on sightings of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in the Chicago area was taken down by Meta following pressure from the Justice Department, according to Attorney General Pam Bondi.

Facebook removes Chicago-area page dedicated to ICE sightings after Justice Department intervenes

The Facebook page ICE Sighting-Chicagoland amassed over 70,000 members in recent weeks as the Trump administration’s “Operation Midway Blitz” has ramped up in Chicago and the suburbs.

I think what's bothering me about all these statements I'm seeing from politicians that are variations of "Israeli hostages and Palestinians are returning to their homes, yay" is that Israelis are returning to their homes and Palestinians are returning to uninhabitable post apocalyptic rubble.
