People abroad don't understand the level of interference Meta & bots had in these elections.
5 days before the election a far-right politician posted a fake news video that got 157 MILLION views on Instagram in 24hs.
For reference, GTA 6's reveal trailer got 90 million views on YouTube in 24hs.
It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.
Lula winning is great for the planet, great for Brazil, and great for people who aren't revanchist assholes everywhere in the world, but let's not forget that it's also going to make some of the worst people on Earth extremely sad and mad. We should enjoy that, as a little treat.
Ok, one more thing… links to PornHub are allowed, even though links to OnlyFans are not. This isn’t about porn, it’s about censorship of independent creators.
#Censorship
Whenever we talk about a problematic artist, some ppl in the comments always go, "Well, I always knew X's art always sucked." Like... ok? Not really the point, but glad you're making it clear you were never "tainted". It's more about making clear their purity than engaging with the conversation.
What's funny/not funny about all this is their "porn teaches young people bad things" spiel (they used an alleged account of a 14yo asking about it) is that they admit their age verification measures don't work. They're just piling on increasingly broken restrictions on consensual adult activity
The UK's sold their antiporn law as banning choking and strangulation and then offered definitions that basically criminalizes oral sex.

She's finally drawing again in between grading! I am a pretty messy sketcher, a huge way I really dive into messing around and figuring out anatomy is drawing something and then moving parts around so you can see some of those choppy moments where I clearly moved something or fussed with it
there really is something so heartbreaking seeing huge studios with life long fans closing down while more and more genAI games start to flood the industry. support human creativity. support artists, storytellers, coders, and anyone else who works to bring raw spirit to these things.
sometimes having ADHD is like in a video game when you want to do something and the character is like
"I don't want to do that"
"maybe not"
"not right now"
"no way!"
"maybe not"

In the underground laboratories of E.D.E.N., terrible things are happening... that’s what the rumors say. But it’s not for nothing that access to them is restricted even for most of the company’s employees. 🩸🧪

This, alongside an Incident at work yesterday, have me wishing there were a truly effective way to train folks on clocking this stuff when it's not *immediately* obvious. But it's hard to pin down on a broad scale -- though I tried to explicate the red flags in *this* particular instance.
