the status of the trans person in the terf brain is some Ur-Fascism deal: every trans person is so clockable that their very existence is ridiculous and offensive, but also anyone could be trans and you'd never know it

All my friends and family just constantly believe ai stuff is real and send it to me with zero skepticism but then if I try to send or tell them anything absolutely real they'll be like "well everything's ai these days, how can you be sure" it is driving me insane
sorta coming around to the view that the social danger of genAI images is less that they'll make people believe fabricated things are real and more that they'll make people believe real things are fabricated

Sleeping with a source is, yes, an ethical violation because it creates the *appearance* of bias.
Acting as their political fixer and campaign adviser, using your journalistic network to do so, is *factual* harm and a betrayal of the highest order--especially when you do it for Eugenics McGee.

i believe that people deserve fair pay for their work. Lizza isn't an exception to this. but since the proper compensation in this case is a negative number, we're actually doing him a solid by rounding it to zero.

the only ethical way to read this is by stealing an AmEx card from that awful man's wallet to pay for the subscription, reuploading the post to something like pastebin, and then doing a chargeback

Lizza is making it clear that he could hide a lot of unethical activities in the profession so long as he wasn't cheated on by his partner with multiple men.

If fascism often grows out of humiliation, it’s strange how quickly people reach for the same wound-economy that created it. Bullying just reenacts the conditions that breed the thing they claim to fight. Pain for pain doesn’t break the cycle, it deepens the grooves.

As console games raise prices, data shows Steam's PC games are getting cheaper
The most successful PC games on Steam that bring in the most money cost less than half of what AAA games on console tend to

I suspect that a lot of fascists are fascists *because* they were bullied by their peers and/or abused by authority figures
Obviously there are people who were abused or bullied who aren't fascists. But it's not clear to me that there are many fascists who weren't abused or bullied in some way.
