The new policy follows weeks of back-and-forth complaints about Islamophobia and antisemitism on the platform.

And - of course - LGBT+ rights are now a "sensitive topic".

 

And because letting “random people steer a company Twitch Plays Pokémon-style” instead of venture capitalists is “fucking funny”

If anyone encounters a paywall: Archived version here

 

The network has aired at least 42 segments mentioning the topic in the last two weeks

The Tokyo High Court ruled on Wednesday that Japanese laws that do not recognize same-sex marriages violate the country's Constitution. This is the second time a high court in the country has handed down such a decision.

Yeah, it's another case of employees paying for the mistakes of management. The company was probably doomed the moment Sony decided that they wanted them to create yet another live-service shooter.

 

It’s official: Concord is never coming back

 

The recent Pokemon hack has provided tons of information about the series

 

Description: A meme in two pictures and two text boxes. The upper image shows an anime-style character, joyous and smiling, surrounded by twinkling stars. The text next to them says: "You realize you're trans."
The lower image shows the same character, staring in despair, surrounded by darkness. The text next to them says: "You realize you're trans."

Everyone knows why it's different for him: He is white.

Not mine. I only cross-posted it. The honor belongs to the OP ShareMySims who posted it on midwest.social.

ID: what is intersex?

The term "intersex" is used to describe an individual whose chromosomes, hormones, or sexual organs are not in line with the perceived male/female sex binary.

SEX is not binary.

SEX is a spectrum.

Sex is determined by a doctor upon birth using the following guidelines: (according to the infant's genitals):

Bellow is a graphic of a ruler, labelled "Phall-O-Meter", from left to right:

The first, slim section is pink and marked with a female symbol, to the left it says: "it's a girl! (under 3/8 inch)"

The second section, 3 times larger than the first, is purple and marked with an X, underneath it says: "unacceptable! Babies with "ambiguous genitals" often undergo inhumane, dangerous, and un- necessary surgeries to "normalize" their genitals, many times without parental consent!"

The final and largest section is 6 times larger than the first, is blue and marked with a male symbol, to the right it says: "it's a boy! (over 1 inch)"

Under the graphic the text continues:

INTERSEX PEOPLE...

are about as common as redheads!

can have any sexual orientation or gender identity.

should never be called "hermaphrodites."

should have their privacy respected.

should not have to be ashamed of their bodies.

deserve to be treated like anybody else.

Bellow is a row of 5 stick figures ranging from blue to pink and from wearing trousers to skirt, to represent the gender spectrum.

One more reason: The dish tastes exactly the same every time. No variation at all.

But when you cook real food, there is always a little variation because the ingredients are usually always slightly different (vegetables more or less watery, meat more or less lean, a little bit more or a little bit less salt or flavouring). It's one of the main skills of a really good cook: To perceive the subtle differences during the preparation and to bring out the best possible taste incorporating the differences.

 

Google-funded Character.AI added guardrails, but grieving mom wants a recall.

Disgusting! Tell me, where do the furries find those naps, so that I can avoid them!?

I think it's extra funny that Liefeld very likely traced a photo of Arnold Schwarzenegger for that one.

Because this confuzzled me, note that the EU's Digital Markets Act (DMA) and the Digital Services Act (DSA) are two separate things.

The Digital Markets Act is the one which is meant to remove economic barriers by "gatekeepers". For example the DMA is used to force Google and Apple to open their app stores.

The Digital Services Act is the one that regulates (among other things) moderation, political neutrality and removal of extremist content on social media platforms. That's the one Thierry Breton oversaw and threatened Elon with.

So while exTwitter's lawyers may sigh in relief, because they got out of the DMA; the DSA is still looming large.

Surprise Munecat!

But jokes aside, it is an excellent video (as usual from her).

Thank you. I love it too. The colors are just perfect.

The robotaxi show case had been announced ages ago, so it seems unlikely. But we can still revel in schadenfreude, because it was a complete dud and Tesla's shares lost almost 10% of their value in two days.
