You all are so relentlessly insufferable. (not Kevin)

STOP GATEKEEPING PROTEST

THATS NOT HOW PROTEST WORKS

THE MORE PROTEST THE BETTER

THE MORE KINDS OF PROTEST THE BETTER

the same people screaming “do something!” also screaming “not like that!”

Y’all are shooting yourselves in the foot.

Someone in my mentions is upset because these people haven’t suffered the worst at ICE’s hands and therefore they shouldn’t be praised for being out on the streets?

Yeah, no. To push back on these people we need everyone — especially those with relative privilege — to get up and get involved.

This is so triggering because when I saw Taylor Swift by accident in 2008, every second of her set was bad but what really sent me into a rage was when she said "This next song is a cover by a little band called The Beatles."

White people who have spent decades thinking “Born in the USA” is patriotic and “Every Breath You Take” is a great wedding song are suddenly very concerned about not being able to understand lyrics to some songs at the Super Bowl halftime show.

This will be the hill I die on, “porn addiction” is not real, that phrase specifically is used as a dog whistle and is backed only by pseudoscience which has been created by right wing fascist organisations with the intention to demonise minorities. It is not real, actual science proves it isn’t.

Nothing is wrong in this post

I would only also add a significant part of the pseudoscience was directly created to absolve white men of sex crimes

"It's not his fault, he has an addiction!"

Said by the same people who think you can beat heterosexuality and good manners into children

This is amazing. I laughed out loud www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

As 32-year-old Rich points out, though, "it's not like using ChatGPT guarantees success".
When he met someone in a bar one Friday night and swapped social media handles, he asked AI what his next move should be.
ChatGPT discerned that sending an initial message on Monday midmorning would set the right pace. "Then it gave me some options for what the message could be," says Rich.
"Keep it light, warm, and low-stakes so it reads as genuine interest without urgency," the bot advised. "Something like: Hey Sarah, still laughing about [tiny shared moment/reference if you've got one] - good to meet you!" Rich went back and forth with ChatGPT until he felt they'd hit upon exactly the right message ("Hey Sarah, it was lovely to meet you") but sadly she never replied, he says. "It's been two weeks now."

There was a moment, very recently, when the popular sentiment was firmly in favor of addressing police violence and unaccountability; the response from these same politicians was “fund the police.”

Jack Tripper @chadstanton.blacksky.app · 20h

“But the politicians are scared of police violence,” hmm how do you think we feel about it?

when my mom was very young, her house got hit by a flood that hit San Antonio.

the Salvation Army wouldn’t let them stay in their shelter unless my grandfather signed a declaration that their home being flooded was Gd’s punishment for their sins.

fuck the Salvation Army.

Salvation Army seen feeding ICE today. For anyone who doesn't already know about their bigotry, here is more, No need to give them your money this Christmas, or ever.

It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.

Fascists like Trump are capitalizing on all of this. In both directions, unfortunately.

Plausibly calling real videos fake is as much a danger as people believing fake videos are real.

Trump in Sept: “If something happens really bad, just blame AI.”
