hey everyone. so, in the d.c. capitol today, hundreds of youth climate activists were arrested fighting for the planet and the green new deal. if y'all can either boost, donate, or do both to their bail fund, that would be fantastic:
Cyberpunk future where your cyborg body shifts to match digital blueprints, meaning your body can shift looks, gender, designs based off of a saved file. Because of this, home brew networks of hobby artists share their designs on online communities for people to share and download. People become free to experiment in their body shapes, gender, and aesthetic expression. This alarms certain people, and a public campaign is made to remind people not to go too far:

People are converting Bird/Lime scooters into personal vehicles for $32. 🛴
1. Steal a Bird off the street (easy)
2. Buy a $32 kit on eBay
3. Rip out Bird's board, replace with yours
4. Profit

"At a time of political reaction and restoration, when cultural innovation has stalled and
even gone backwards, when “power . . . operates predictively as much as retrospectively”
(Eshun 2003: 289), one function of hauntology is to keep insisting that there are futures
beyond postmodernity’s terminal time. When the present has given up on the future, we
must listen for the relics of the future in the unactivated potentials of the past. " -- Mark Fisher
Which is why taking the headphone jack out of devices is criminal. Capitalism reached a failure point when people could buy an affordable sound system and listen to it for decades without spending another dime, so it got hard at work on one hand playing up audiophile BS (you gotta buy this $1000 cord!!!) and on the other breaking compatibility with older perfectly good equipment (oops no headphone jack! Just use this dongle or bluetooth! Oh sorry you dont own your music, listen to this ad!).
Big bulky sound systems have gained the image of outdated dinosaurs which is sad because the laws of physics dictate you can't get a quality sound without well built, large equipment. You can miniaturize a computer chip and retain the same functionality. You can't miniaturize a speaker cone or an amplifier circuit and retain the same functionality.
Of course an audiophile will sell you a $1000 cord that is functionally equivalent to a $4 cord so I kinda get why people don't bother.
along with the exhortations to new folks to use content warnings, I would like to exhort masto veterans to be patient with new users, and to *please* include explanations of common abbreviations so the new folks can get a handle on them. examples:
pol = politics
uspol = US politics
mh = mental health
tf = transformation
+/- signs = positive or negative modifiers, so "uspol +" would refer to a story about US politics that is actually good (for a change).
feel free to reply to this with other common-ish examples if you can think of them!
One more Tumblr Take
Much in the same way that prohibition did not eliminate alcohol, but instead drove it to become more concentrated out of necessity, so to will Tumblr's decision impact porn.
Porn will now become increasingly weirder in a bid to defeat the algorithm. The logical end goal is to arrive at pornography that is indistinguishable to the untrained eye as being horny.
Some of us have already arrived.
To the rest: Buckle up.
