Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Big news: Canada changed their citizenship rules and now if you've ever had a direct ancestor who was a citizen, you are now automatically a citizen too! www.canada.ca/en/immigrati...

I've been sharing this around, and I know a few people who've discovered they're now Canadian citizens!

So I'm past due on my credit card payment, still don't have a job, and badly need money for it. So I made a buncha #scalemail #dicebags to sell! US only, free shipping! They're all ready to ship and go to nerdy, loving homes. They can hold 35+ dice each! #crochet #D&D ko-fi.com/fatfhoenixpr...
An array of crocheted dice bags, with marquis-like 'scales' crocheted into the piece. They are all approximately the same size. From top to bottom, left to right, the colors are as follows: purple and silver, solid blue, a variegated blue bag with black, blue, bronze, teal and blue scales,a teal bag with bronze, green and teal striping, a green and silver bag with a diamond pattern, a red and white bag with a black line running through it, a green bag with 3 golden triangles, a solid black bag, a solid yellow bag, a solid white bag, a white bag with a rainbow on it, a black bag with a rainbow on it, and another solid black bag. A solid black crocheted bag with 'scales' crocheted in. It has a rainbow drawstring. The scales are in the color of the rainbow, with pink on the top of it. A crocheted bag with 'scales' crocheted into it. It is red and white, with a black line running through the middle (and a small 'dot' in the middle of that.) It has a white pullstring. a crocheted bag with 'scales' crocheted into it. It is green with several golden scales making up 3 small pyramids on top of each other. The drawstring is white, with some decorative red, yellow and green beads.

In case anyone else wants to remove all of their posts on twitter/X, I can vouch for this script working well and being straightforward to use. there's a video that walks you through the process in case you're a web noob like me, and it made an overwhelming ordeal much much easier.

Quick reminder, you are allowed and it's not contradictory:
- to criticize the USA for violating international law
- to criticize Maduro for being a dictator
- Recognize that the USA interest isn't the freedom of Venezuela
- Celebrate the fall of brutal regime

AI has actively made life worse for literally everyone

- tech is now more expensive
- you cannot trust most media of reality anymore
- programs barely function
- energy prices
- literal psychosis
- your voice can be literally stolen for evil
- more spyware

but hey, you can avoid paying an artist.

don't forget 🤖🚫
a stylized illustration with the text "generative AI was never ethical". The piece features a black cat pulling cables out of the back of a robot. The robot has a conveyor belt attached to it that is pulling in packages that read "stolen art, stolen writing, stolen voices, stolen videos, stolen likeness, stolen photos, stolen books, stolen code, and stolen ideas." The piece is a reminder that generative ai was built on the backs of real artists, photographers, writers, and everyone else's creative expressions as humans in order to churn out slop to feed back to us.

What happened today? Behind closed doors, the Law Enforcement Working Party group approved the revised Danish Chat Control compromise with broad support. While mandatory scanning had officially been dropped, Article 4 of the new text reframes and reintroduces it by obliging providers of e-mail, chat, and messenger services to take “all appropriate risk mitigation measures”. This effectively forces providers to scan all messages, including private, end-to-end encrypted content. The same article outlaws anonymous communication by requiring every citizen to verify their age before accessing a service, kneecapping whistleblowers, journalists, political activists, and people seeking help who depend on anonymity. Article 6 further imposes a digital house arrest and would ban minors from installing software which comes with a significant risk of grooming, such as WhatsApp, Instagram, and online games like Roblox. What happens next? The legislation now moves to the Coreper (Committee of Permanent Representations) for approval. Without major political objections, the Council will formally adopt its position. At this stage, both the Council and Commission unite in imposing mass surveillance on all 450 million citizens of the European Union and we enter a rushed trilogue. Unfortunately, while the mandate of the European Parliament does not suffer from the same flaws, the Parliament is traditionally known for giving in. What now? We raise our voices. Louder.

A straight friend told me sincerely that he appreciates it when I compliment him; it makes him "happy". Straight men are also victims of the Rape Culture they themselves have created; women don't necessarily feel safe freely giving men compliments. >>

I cannot emphasize this enough:

The regime has overextended itself. It is vulnerable to protest and dissent.

They have not consolidated power and we are entirely capable of keeping them from doing so.

Doomers are not realists.

I’ve shared this before, but it feels important to reshare today:
First They Came for the Fetishes First they came for the fetishes I disliked, and I said, “Good, those are gross.” Then they came for the kinks I didn’t care about, and I said, “Well, I’m not into that anyway.” Then they came for the stories I found strange, and I said, “That isn’t real art.” Then they came for my friends’ works, and I said, “Surely there’s a reason.” And when they came for my own words, there was no one left to argue, because I had agreed to draw the lines for them.

I'm so tired of this puritanical bullshit.
Sex is healthy, sex fantasies are healthy, fiction is healthy.

I wish people would stop conflating BDSM and fiction with assault.
People have fantasies about power. That's normal!

Exploring feeling via stories is what humans do!

Anyway, here’s your form of consent, Bluesky.
Meme from Parks and Recreation of Ron handing a paper to an officer and saying “Not to worry. I have a permit.” Followed by a closeup image of the paper being held by the officer, edited to read: “Every fictional character I’ve drawn and will draw having sex, has consented to being drawn that way. They told me themselves.”
