Hey look, Israel broke the cease-fire, twice, in two different ways, within 24 hours - again.

NEW: Israel informed the UN it will permit only 300 aid trucks into Gaza daily, not the 600 mandated by the ceasefire it just signed.

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.

MATURE CONTENT?????

A tumblr post from user plague-memoria that just features an image of the word "lover" in black on a red distressed background. Tumblr has placed a mature content label on the top of the post.

I love Interview with a Vampire very much but we're halfway through a 2-year-long waiting period for the next season 😩 Oh well. Will have to be patient.

Count Avi Henriques 🩸 @legalizegoblins.bsky.social · 1d

I'm gonna say my not-positive OFMD take with all love to my friends who are OFMD fans. It wasn't for me because I felt the romance seriously lacked passion. It didn't *feel* like a romance to me in the way I wanted it to as a romance reader in particular. The cast is great, just not my show.

Oh wait I fact checked myself and Gentleman Jack is late Regency. Maybe I should watch that one.

Neither of those are Regency, unfortunately. There's a ton of gay Regency novels, but as far as I'm aware, no screen versions.

Bridgerton's getting another season and, as expected, the couple is straight. I can accept that that's what this show is. But god damn, who do I have to bribe to get a gay Regency romance on TV??

Many of the “great works” are just mythological/religious fanfic/slashfic.

I also have a Nosferatu back piece. One simply cannot have too many vampire tattoos.

In honor of Halloween Month, I gotta take advantage of the opportunity to show off my absolute best tattoo, this sexy vampire man by @phantomorchid.bsky.social 🩸

A large bicep tattoo depicting the bust of a vampire gentleman in ornate period costume. He is crying blood and blood drips from his mouth. Mist surrounds the figure, and bats fly overhead in front of a yellow moon.
