not going to lie it really pisses me off that people in the west continue to bring up tiananmen square while glazing over kent state, dapl, BLM2020, ICE today, etc. etc. like one the one hand i should lower my standards considering the political awareness of the median usamerican but on the other hand how do you not see the hypocrisy in that you have to go back forty goddamn years to pull a "CHINA BAD UPVOTES PLZ" when the USA is doing the same or worse at this very moment.

Its almost offensive when you see someone spreading Israeli propaganda for free like brother you know they're literally giving out soooooooooo much money to spread that shit and youre publicly declaring yourself as irredeemable and not worth talking with for zero us dollars?

cool. another black child died in a hate crime

im posting this here despite the website being extremely white centered, I want people to understand how in this country it's basically ok to murder and victimize black people, especially women and children in the name of "self defense" and white America will reward you for your antiblackness.

I hope DeepSeek 4 blows your smarmy little Mythos Preview out of the water for pennies on the dollar. Get fucked.

Think tanks explicitly founded to "abolish transgenderism" will publish a report that's like "there's no evidence that trans healthcare works if you ignore all the evidence" and be taken seriously, meanwhile actual researchers go "there's seriously NO evidence that gatekeeping helps" and get ignored

i was like 'it's weird the way everyone is doing free pr for the catholic church rn just bc the pr for the new pope has already been that good' and someone was like 'wait? why don't you like the pope? did something happen?' i feel insane i'm not exaggerating i didn't even know what to say?? 'did something happen?' yes the last 2 thousand years of global history, and no, going back 2,000 years in catholic history is not dramatic because it's remained consistently that bad throughout and in fact i do think the church should answer for every single century of its sins while all of its assets are returned to the people from which they were stolen and its global power is dissolved.

Happy Pride Month everyone! Remember 4 months ago when the CEO of this platform harassed and chased a trans woman off this website just for posting her transition timeline, then chased her to other social media platforms to continue harassing her, and threatened to call the FBI if she continued disputing the multiple dubious terminations of her blogs that did not violate tumblr's terms of service in any way? And despite tumblr staff insisting that the CEO was acting against their interests, the broad transmisogyny evident in the site's culture and moderation policy has still not been adequately addressed?

Remember that staff is continuing to nuke the blogs of trans women even after all of this. Remember this post when they call this site the queerest place on the internet again this month

It's 2 years later. It's gotten worse. Happy pride month.

It goes without saying I'm magnitudes more """pro-AI""" than this website's median bloody-minded luddite, but it is fascinating that part of the appeal of having LLMs do web searches for you is that having a power hungry, computationally intensive mathematical miracle hosted however many hundred km away fetch the page for you, read the raw code, generate analysis, and then stream output to back to you is on the whole a faster way to retrieve information than fucking rendering JS in-browser.

And then webdevs have the gall to go and block Claude Code or whatever from downloading their websites because "ohhh 🥺🥺 so much downloading is massively costing us so much in bandwidth 🥺 we just can't afford it as if they can't not but send 150MB of CSS and React gibberish.

I am feeling depressed about the silence of women's and rape advocacy organizations worldwide regarding the rapes and sexual abuses of Gaza flotilla activists.

"The concept of gay was invented at the Yeehaw Saloon in New Yanks, learn your queer history!" my country had gay marriage before you did, Am*rican.

"Erm but state laws and-" I need you to understand that people who live in countries you can't even place on the map already know what you're about to say. Involuntarily.

"women hold up a good bit more than half the sky but less than 100% of it" is probably more accurate but less catchy
