The Anarkitty

And I never learn anything.

ok non-tech ppl might be hearing some scary things about "critical vulnerabilities" involving certificates. the main thing you need to know, without getting down in the weeds about it, is that the fourth seal is broken. lo, a rider approacheth upon a pale steed, and his name is Death

A reminder for those at the back.

it's gotta be some kind of illegal to make a fighting game movie that looks this good

Mitch McConnell's fursona is a decaying whale corpse.

all the people without context screaming at porn for being exploitative, but the actual exploitation that is currently happening is due to a small group of people stealing ethically produced porn from independent creators and flipping it for ad revenue deeply frustrating shit

I just honestly can't get over that Save Women Sports, an anti-trans group could only find five trans athletes competing K through 12. Five. The NCAA president testified a year and a half ago or so that there were less than 10 college level trans athletes. What the fuck are we doing, people

It’s an absolutely fucked up thing to do to a kid, “you’re smart, you just have to work harder & be more disciplined!” Like, we’re burning ourselves out just to keep up!

ooh, I like this take - all the elements are present, so call it what it is: not liminal (which was never quite right, tbh), but gothic for a new generation of people who don’t remember why we built that shit in the first place, or what it was supposed to be *for*

it's worth separating 3 things: 1. i couldn't personally vote for a dem who "moderated" on trans rights 2. i want to persuade other social media users to oppose dems going this 3. i want to pressure party leadership not to "moderate" through a strategy of mass abstention

Jibbers...

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

Most news: Woman worker saw some emails and called the news treasonously Very little news: This special ops vet saw some real bad shit, shit so bad it scared a specops vet, and called the news, as is her right and moral obligation

happy pride month!

I will endeavor to me the most maddening broken record on this until I stop seeing posts of grown ass adults about how excited they are for the new HP game while talking about what house they belong in.

THIS CARTOON IS FROM 1966. YOu CAN'T REFORM THE POLICE.

amazing stuff

Why young people hate AI even more?

Anyone who makes comedy knows that most of the information you are transmitting in any piece of work is hidden intent, subtext and motive. Computers and LLMs cannot have those things. You can put them in yourself, read what was absent. But you get annoyed when you realise there was nothing there.

I don't argue that AI can't generate something that sounds pleasant but that feeling of awe and delight because of another being, the sudden silence and the almost intimate ambience created by their playing was something that is so so quintessentially human that no machine can copy it

Violence and murder in media are more accepted than nudity and sex. It’s mind boggling 🙃 until you realize that it’s just one more way that the patriarchy tries to control people.

You missed the funniest part of the tweet

Poetry... Genuine art

I wish Ken Paxton would protect puppies the way he protects pedophiles.

Unearthed documents just revealed Ken Paxton, as Attorney General, protected a research lab that tortured 400 puppies. Paxton was also one of the only Texas lawmakers to vote against a bill to hold animal abusers accountable.

I'll take it

Donald Trump is amazing. My truck used to hold $60 of gas and now it holds $120 of gas. I don't know how he does it but the man is a jenius.

NEW AD: 14 years ago today, Ken Paxton stole someone's $1,000 pen. Today, Ken Paxton’s pen victim is endorsing James Talarico.

We also just watched Monkey Man, which says "DO kill the dude who killed your mom, and kill him super badassfully and in order to protect the marginalized people whose neck he's standing on, and also use a firework attack and an army of hijiras to do it!" That resonates with me much more.

I've now seen another "I don't like JKR, BUT..." post so tapping the sign: You can watch the wizard show if you want. No one's coming to physically stop you. That's up to you. What you're doing with these posts is trying to get a Good Person Pass from trans people and that's a shitty thing to do.

Trump is SO afraid that he's upping security on his golf course

FWIW from my teeny tiny perspective as a freelance writer, I am not going to watch the Harry Potter show, I am not going to pitch on it, and I will decline any assignments if offered. I could really use the money, but it's not worth the cost of hurting trans lives.

Now, everyone do this.

City parks in Seattle WA have these distinctive rainbow signs with some sort of lightly-serif font

we went to a highly recommended pizza restaurant in Formia, Italy. the fact that the menu consisted of gorgeously made Italian pizzas with fresh local ingredients, and then also contained this monstrosity called a "pizza Americana" is S-tier trolling by the Italians

Person in need: Hello I need help with like anything in my life A fuckin robot: Have you considered that you don't need help bye bye :) Person: Help me Another robot: I'm sorry, it looks like you need help. Unfortunately, we cannot. Person: Person! Another robot: Hello! You have no problems!

It's not just that they're corrupt... it's that they suck at being corrupt...

I would like to go on record stating that I think all art should be 100x hornier. maybe 200x

Douglas Adams: life seems harsh and cruel. i feel all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain Barker: i got great news for you! Barker: the treatment is simple Barker: the great humorist douglas adams is doing a reading tonight. go see him. Adams: but doctor

Heckler: Pedophile protector! Trump: He’s a communist!

Could we call optical fiber internet «laserwire»?
