#PSA: posting someone else's nudes without their consent is fucked up, and also illegal.

- it doesn't matter if you "don't own these images" —I already guessed you weren't a collective of teen girls or their agent.

- it doesn't matter if you "found them online" —they weren't your fucking photos to share.

- it doesn't matter if I can "message you to have a photo removed" —see point #2, asshole.

Not only are these porn reposting accounts *nonconsensually* using the bodies of (mostly) young women to earn themselves fake internet points, they're also (in many places) breaking existing anti-revenge-porn laws. It should also be pointed out that, because the photos are stolen, they have no reasonable assurance of the subject's age, so it's entirely possible they're also posting child porn—and ignorance of the subject's age isn't a defense.

---

So help make Fedi safer for femme-presenting folx and for responsible sex-work. Stop these shitty porn repost accounts that profit off of other people's bodies. Call them out. Report them. Get them suspended.

(but please don't dogpile or attack them—there's still a person in there somewhere, and with any luck they're redeemable)

Put your hands on your hips. Heh heh.

Early in Trump's first term, David Frum wrote that every time Trump and MAGA say "the deep state" you should hear "rule of law," then it'll make more sense.

That stuck with me. And I thought of it again as an unqualified and unconfirmed director of national intelligence conducts political purges.

#Github's statement opposing #California Senate Bill 1000¹ is pro-LLM-gen-AI **disinformation** designed to trick #FOSS folks into supporting their nefarious agenda. Microsoft & Github should apologize & state true reasons why they oppose SB1000.
I urge CA citizens to write to your state senators ASAP.

Onion ads are killing it rn

Can't wait to see t-shirts and bumper stickers that say "I got indicted by Janine Pierrot and all she got was laughed out of court."

If a bug and a stegosaurus had a baby haha. I found 4 of these Jagged Ambush Bug nymphs today. I can't wait for them to get bigger. They are so tiny right now that I am having to crop the photos much more than I prefer. Spartanburg, SC

Shoplifting professional grade fireworks—also known as the three-finger discount.

Judges Reed O’Connor and James Boasberg ~consulted~ today about the FTC’s litigation tactics against trans health org WPATH over the past 24 hours.

The judges appear to have reached an agreement, and the FTC’s efforts failed for now.

How we got there is a wild story, though. Here it is: https://www.lawdork.com/p/ftc-wpath-oconnor-boasberg-consultation

“Google wants a look at your hands before it lets you through. The company’s newest reCAPTCHA check, rolling out now as a test, asks you to switch on your camera and wave at it so an algorithm can decide whether you’re a human or a bot.

That wave is less casual than it looks. The system records a short video of your hand and pulls 21 hand-landmark coordinates from it, mapping your finger joints, your palm geometry, and the way you move in real time.

Google describes the purpose as liveness detection, a way for websites to fend off automated account creation, credential-stuffing, and other fraud. But this is still a biometric scan, collected so you can prove you’re a person and still involves turning on your cameras for Google.”

A lesson on conditional whiteness.

❝
Tens of thousands of people, angry over perceived social injustices, spent hours rampaging through the streets. Their target? The Greek-owned restaurants and shops that had come to symbolise their grievances.

“That night, crowds of 20-25,000 people destroyed almost every Greek business in the city, crying out, ‘Tonight’s the night we hunt Greeks’,” says historian Thomas Gallant.
❞
{{ snip }}
❝
While more than 100 years have passed since the riots, both Gallant and Gionas said they remain more relevant than ever – particularly as Canada experiences a rise in anti-immigrant sentiment.

Public opinion on immigration has hardened in recent years amid socioeconomic challenges. such as a housing crisis and soaring prices.

Polling shows a majority of Canadians now believe there is “too much” immigration to the country, and anti-immigrant rhetoric has become commonplace, with politicians talking about “bogus” asylum seekers and blaming newcomers for social ills.❞

Have made it three hundred pages into this Don Quixote translation and am laughing fit to scare the dog. Cervantes could absolutely slay when the mood took him.

Earlier today I saw an old man wearing the most #Philly specific troll shirt that wasn't related to the Eagles. It had a picture of Barack #Obama and it said "Obama is from Walton Avenue."

"In front of fans and kids taking photos, a Dallas police officer starts shoving staff members of the Egyptian national team here for the World Cup. At one point, he even reaches for his handcuffs.

The video is already being shared internationally by news outlets."

The American cop sensed that for a moment a foreign child might experience 'joy' and he found that intolerable.
