a red state law is having unfathomable consequences for art preservation and will have a chilling ripple effect on what anime and manga get distributed online and offline in North America, on a long enough time scale.
mangadex are hurriedly removing all erotic lolicon works from their platform, citing "the site's longevity" being "at risk".

"We just can't have it on the site going forward, it is what it is."

the far right in America are attempting to smokescreen their own abuse of children, on a large scale. queer people and upsetting art are easy scapegoats. in reality, they’re the culprits. from Epstein to Erika Kirk - the people warning you about “perverts” are the most Godless and craven.

as a CSA survivor these laws do me no good

the censorship of any art is a loss for all art

fascists do not want depictions of the acts their do in private to be public because it makes them more easily caught

don’t fall for anyone who convinces you any art ought to be banned

Standing up against these laws, both in the USA and numerous other nations, is integral for a whole host of issues

Gaza? Minnesota? Venezuela? If these and more matter to you, then you need to get active because these laws will handicap any online organizing for MANY causes
A very good point. While calling out corporations is important, our government is trying to force av laws like KOSA and SCREEN on EVERYONE under the guise of "protecting kids". Call your reps + tell them to OPPOSE these bad bills. #SaveSpeech #Stopageverification #StopKOSA

A book I highly recommend on electronic slot machines—which fully convinced me they should be illegal for how they systematically mislead our brains—is Natasha Dow Schüll‘s ADDICTION BY DESIGN

Gamified online gambling seems much worse, & is becoming much more ubiquitous

It will immiserate so many
I see no reason not to look at the online gambling and prediction market craze as a new opioids crisis.

It will wreak havoc on lower-income Americans and leave a trail of destruction and despair in its wake.

The companies are just Purdue Pharma 2.0

The academic-epstein connections and their effort to destroy gender/race programs in universities is particularly insidious in that they wanted to destroy the tools that would allow ppl to recognize things like grooming.

They wanted ppl ignorant of issues so they could keep being the problem

Epstein’s project was narcissistic AND ideological and the ideology was “get rid of women’s and gender studies” and it basically organized for the environment where it became normal for a centrist publication to attack women’s and gender studies funders in the way The Atlantic is attacking Mellon

Still thinking about this quote.
"Our standing rule is: If one of us brings up using GenAI in any of our work, then it's safe to assume we've been assimilated by The Thing and should be burned alive by Kurt Russell," said a game design consultant in the US.
Over 50% of game developers now think generative AI is bad for the industry, a dramatic increase from just 2 years ago: 'I'd rather quit the industry than use generative AI'
The latest GDC survey also found that managers are more likely to use generative AI than their employees.

It was never about "trans athletes should just compete in their assigned sex at birth."

It was always about invalidation of the athlete's gender identity.

The Heritage Foundation has released a 250-year roadmap to “save America.”

The document is a how-to guide for subjugating girls & young women: a detailed plan to push them out of college, funnel them into early marriage and motherhood, and then trap them there.

It's interesting to look at how Epstein directly, via hundreds of thousands of emails with his pedo buddies in academia, made US academia incredibly hostile to women for *decades*.

How many Emma Noethers never were, even before any of it was put into legislation?

In incredible news, the European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly for "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women."

Even the center-right European People's Party voted for the declaration.

It will form a foundation for their position at the UN Commission on the Status of Women.

The resolution, though nonbinding, is a significant shot at those who seek to erode transgender rights on the continent.
