As someone who believes in empathy, kindness, and communication, I cannot condone gun violence.

However,,,,

[Picture ID: a meme including a photo of a fast food cup at a soda fountain, with someone pressing two buttons at once to pour two different sodas into the same cup. Over one of the soda brands reads the text “Violence, especially gun violence, is bad and creates more problems than it solves, and has no place in a humane and civilized society”. Over the other soda brand is text that reads “Billionaires fucking around and finding out is kinda funny”. End ID]

Scott haters be like: "I saw him make a joke. But I took it seriously so I hate him. But the joke about Grian absolutely hating Jimmy's guts? A joke. Clearly. But Scott? Nahhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

OR

"I choose to believe out of context/misinformation about him over doing my own research. Therefore I hate him because I blindly believed someone the Internet."

Australia is planning on banning under 16s from using social media.

So so many reasons this is a stupid idea but the main one is actually, counter-intuitively, ppl's online safety.

Grown ups know how to cross the road safely because they are taught as children. They get to practice with parental supervision when they're kids.

You keep kids off social media then give them unlimited access at 16 and they'll have no frame of reference, no supervision, no working knowledge of how to fact check etc. If you actually want ppl to be safe online, make it part of education.

When discussing Animal Farm in English, talk about how to analyse ideas that sound good but actually result in inequality in practice and then pull up some questionable tweets.

When teaching kids how to research for their next essay, give them a fb rant and show them how to verify the info.

And then whoever is teaching them about personal responsibility should introduce them to tag blocking on tumblr. Show them how to curate their own experience.

Chat gtp should be its own module titled "ai can and will lie to you please for the love of god learn to think for yourself"

Polyamoury isn't normalised at all, even today, in western culture, and monogamy is still the norm for the vast vast majority of human populations. And the few communities in English-speaking countries that permit/encourage it aren't exactly ones that allow queerness. When people say stuff like "you don't have to be polyamourous" in queer spaces it looks as ridiculous as saying "you don't need your own personal elephant."

If a post has that disclaimer on it, it's either a disingenuous concern coming from people who dislike polyamoury and feel it's imposing on them via existing, or because the OP felt the need to coddle that exact type of jackass in their defense of polyamoury

Lawyer Breaks Down The Imane Khelif Lawsuit

I am an American attorney, and even though this lawsuit was filed in French court, I can still break it down and give my thoughts on the situation.

Let's get into this high-profile criminal lawsuit.

Algerian boxer and Olympic gold medalist Imane Khelif has filed a criminal complaint in French court last Friday, August 9, alleging that "acts of aggravated cyber harassment” have been perpetrated against the star athlete since her appearance at the Summer 2024 Olympics in Paris.

The lawsuit was filed with the anti-online hatred center of the Paris public prosecutor’s office and names X as the defendant; X as it refers to unknown persons in French law. Doing so "ensure[s] that the ‘prosecution has all the latitude to be able to investigate against all people," including those who may have shared hateful messages under pseudonyms and screen names.

To discuss another X in this case, though, Elon Musk finds himself named in the lawsuit, as does author J.K. Rowling. The pair have found themselves at the center of the controversy, having taken to their respective social media channels to post their takes and stoke the flames surrounding Khelif. "J. K. Rowling and Elon Musk are named in the lawsuit, among others,' says Nabil Boudi, Khelif's Paris-based attorney.

What about former president and 34-time convicted felon Donald Trump, though? He's shared his own remarks on the Algerian boxer. "Trump tweeted, so whether or not he is named in our lawsuit, he will inevitably be looked into as part of the prosecution."

Khelif's time at the 2024 Olympics—despite winning gold in women's 66kg boxing—has been overshadowed by speculation regarding her gender. It's important to note that Imane Khelif is a cisgender woman; she was born female and does not identify as transgender or intersex. The International Olympic Committee backs these facts, too, stating that "scientifically, this is not a man fighting a woman." Yet, the vitriol continues; the internet at large has been having a field day with it.

Adding to the flames are Elon Musk and J.K. Rowling. Musk, who is the owner of the X site, shared a post from swimmer Riley Gaines that read, "Men don't belong in women's sports," approving the message with one of his own: "Absolutely." Additionally, Rowling posted an image of Khelif and Italian boxer Angela Carini mid-fight with a caption accusing Khelif of "[being a man who was] enjoying the distress of a woman he’s just punched in the head." She posted this to her 14.2M X followers. Donald Trump piped in—as he's known to do—with his own caption for the image of Khelif and Carini, with a vow of sorts: "I will keep men out of women’s sports!" A campaign promise, maybe?

Interestingly, even Logan Paul had something to say. As if Paul isn't busy enough with his frivalous defamation lawsuit against fellow creator Coffeezilla, he added to the mix with his denouncement of Khelif's triumph over Carini:

"This is the purest form of evil unfolding right before our eyes. A man was allowed to beat up a woman on a global stage, crushing her life’s dream while fighting for her deceased father. This delusion must end." Paul later deleted this post, though, admitting that, "might be guilty of spreading misinformation." He doesn't want yet another lawsuit on his hands—that's my take.

Khelif's attorney isn't buying any of the bullshit, though, and nobody's apology will absolve them of their legal liability in his eyes. "That lawsuit is filed and the facts remain."

About the intentions of the lawsuit, Boudi said:

"What we’re asking is that the prosecution investigates not only these people but whoever it feels necessary. If the case goes to court, they will stand trial." As it pertains to those on US soil, he adds that "[the lawsuit] could target personalities overseas. The prosecutor’s office for combating online hate speech has the possibility to make requests for mutual legal assistance with other countries." Boudi cites an agreement between the French and American equivalent office per the online hate speech.

The lawsuit is intended to prosecute individual social media users and not the platforms themselves. As Boudi states, "It’s the responsibility of lawmakers to issue sanctions to platforms, not ours," going on to note the severity of similar cyber harassment cases, and that in some cases, "there are prison sentences."

Judicial systems worldwide have begun to take cyber crimes like these more serious in recent years. As use, popularity, and reliance on the internet grow, so must the laws and protections.

Khelif's coach, Pedro Diaz, has even weighed in on all the controversy surrounding his champion athlete. He states the hate has "incredibly affected her and everyone around her."

What do you think of this case? Let me know!

aside from your name/alias, your pronouns, and your age... you don't need to document every fundamental detail about yourself on your blog. you don't need to spill every secret or document every minor detail about your life, your health, or your situation. if something is crucial to your portrayal, or you feel something needs to be established for the sake of your comfort/safety... that's different. otherwise... stop oversharing. don't give out your real name, last name, location, or your job. there are people out there with bad intentions and you are making it so much easier for them to cause problems. protect yourself. i don't care if 'stranger danger' sounds juvenile to you now - it's still a thing, and some people in the rpc are far too comfortable dispensing information about themselves to people they don't know.

Hey, Saiki, it's your English teacher again (Let's say I go by 🍵 for simplicity's sake, shall we?).

I want to have a word with you about your marks.

In class, you understand all of my English directions perfectly - better than most of the class! But on your written work you make a lot of little mistakes with spelling and conjugations that I KNOW you know. I've heard you use them.

So. Do you wanna tell me what's going on?
