This is a really good thread.
no offense but you guys need to learn the difference between someone implying their experience is universal and a post simply just not being about you
… okay! So that’s how we’re starting today.
Look, y'all. I’m gonna say this as kindly as possible: I cannot possibly know who all of y'all are. I’m not trying to be an asshole, here, but I don’t think that people who don’t have a Following on social media have any concept of how much my brain simply cannot hold all of you in it. My brain simply cannot do it.
I try to be as kind as possible, but like, unless we’re longtime mutuals, we are not friends, and, again as kindly and genuinely as possible, it’s very likely that I neither know who you are nor give a shit what you think of me on an interpersonal level. So telling me you are disappointed in me like it’s supposed to matter is probably not going to get you anything but a confused “… okay?”
…especially if you’re “disappointed in me” bc I am not flexible in my opinion that any hard categories of human based on our assigned gender at birth inherently misgender non-binary people by pushing us back into a binary, and those categories don’t need new, better, shinier labels on the outside, they need to be fired out of a cannon directly into the fucking sun.
I rarely shit post, but the internet is really on point with me today...
Boy, I sure do love when random people with no apparent humanities training condescendingly tell me I’m misunderstanding the very basics of a legal-philosophical concept I teach and publish on.
You should NEVER tell ANYONE to hurt themself, I don't CARE how bad you think they are! DON'T DO THAT! DON'T NORMALISE THAT! THAT IS NOT NORMAL!
I seriously recommend turning off anon right now if you’re Jewish. A lot of the most antisemitic people on this site are harassing Jewish people on anon. The majority of them are to cowardly to do so off anon. Not to mention if you do get a hate comment and choose to post it, your Jewish followers will know who to block so they don’t get harassed as well.
besides the whole don’t expect intellectual labor from marginalized people just minding their business on the internet thing, if a jewish blogger is just posting pictures of memes and cute girls and clearly hasn’t made palestine and israel a central or recent topic on their blog then you really have no legitimate reason to ask them lol. it’s just as inappropriate as coming up to a random jewish person on the street and bombarding them with a question about the issue. if we aren’t inviting it, don’t solicit it.
Important reminder: Everyone on the internet is a real person.
Go read this. It’s really important.
Be kind to one another.
Sorry, the original EuroNews link seems to have gone away. Here's a CNN one instead.
...The EU AI Act outlaws social scoring systems powered by AI and any biometric-based tools used to guess a person’s race, political leanings or sexual orientation. It bans the use of AI to interpret the emotions of people in schools and workplaces, as well as some types of automated profiling intended to predict a person’s likelihood of committing future crimes. Meanwhile, the law outlines a separate category of “high-risk” uses of AI, particularly for education, hiring and access to government services, and imposes a separate set of transparency and other obligations on them. Companies such as OpenAI that produce powerful, complex and widely used AI models will also be subject to new disclosure requirements under the law. It also requires all AI-generated deepfakes to be clearly labeled, targeting concerns about manipulated media that could lead to disinformation and election meddling.
A world like this should just end already. It's trash, right? But you can't say that.

neil gaiman, i must ask, WILL THEY KISS AGAIN IN SEASON THREE?????
thank you for your time
Having seen how badly the kiss in Season 2 went down, I cannot imagine any more kissing in the future.
At this point, I feel like I need to staple the sign to something. Or someone.
ALT
You know what, I'm updating the sign because everyone said "oh Neil, please let them kiss in season 2!" and he simply smiled as another finger on the goddam monkey's paw curled
Wanna add this for the people genuinely freaking out about Neil’s answer
last night matt sent me a twitter dm asking me for more info on the harassment im currently receiving on tumblr, promising to elevate it to the TOS team, before then proceeding to block me on twitter before i even saw the message??
I see a lot of people asking staff to share the real reason predstrogen was banned since what Matt said wasn't accurate, but is tumblr even allowed to do that? Doesn't that goes against some sort of privacy law?
Yep no fucking way they can share that.
Everything Matt shared was already outrageous and very legally troubling, no way the company could share the actual, not made up, data
I just got another one of those phishing emails where it pretends to be a confirmation of a subscription you never signed up for and tries to trick you into providing personally identifying information for "confirmation purposes" when you attempt to cancel, but:
a. this one is for a weekly grocery delivery service, of all things; and
b. the fake shopping list contains nothing but ham.
I have been fraudulently subscribed to ham.
mine keep trying to contact me for veteran benefits for the US army.
I've lived in Ontario 85% of my life
personally speaking i dont think committing several severe data protection law violations while harassing a former user of my million dollar service on another website is a particularly great way to make yourself look good
