All of this sucks but also vgen said "wearing pasties in public is fine if you're flat-chested"

I'm really loving the marketing for Coyote vs Acme

This doesn’t go far enough. while i think ideally as a society we need a UNI+Medicare for all COMBO, I think in this stop gap instance any and all food should be covered by food stamps. Yes, even candy. Yes even seafood, steak, and lobster.

This handbook is more buckwild than I could possibly imagine. I leave my friends instructions to take care of my cats which are more formal and better constructed than this. If I was handed this at a job and made it through the first page without handing it back and leaving I'd feel shame later.

i hate that quote posting is viewed as such a hostile action like nooooo im just like a lil bird picking up some stuff and taking it back to the baby birds at my nest so they can all see it too im just having a conversation i promise

Rowling: anyway my transs friend ssaid Rowling: "joanne i think everything that you're saying is correct" Rowling: "truly i am an abomination that she's be and also my breed of subhuman fetishist shouldn't be allowed to exist" Barker: oh damn i didn't know you were friends with brianna wu

Behold the snake.

I think the last decade, between the acquisition of twitter, this shit, and the collapse of the US goverment, can be characterized by this reminder that no actually you shouldn't run anything like a renegade who doesn't give a shit and in fact things like empathy and tact are vital for an operation

Us skittering across this uncertain world

Yeah I work for The Onion* *the glowing vidalia that floats in the back of my cupboard and commands me to commit crimes

I know a heist vehicle when I see one 🤨

Brianna Wugenicist's tweet is not trolling. The tweet isn't click farming. It isn't for cis people. It isn't for trans people. It isn't for you, or me. Brianna Wu's tweet is for her. Just her. But the skeet thread I'm skeeting right now is, as usual, for trans people. 🧵1/

tfw you can't actually tell if this is alex jones having a last parting tantrum or tim heidecker's first article

benches, buses, and bathrooms. they should be everywhere

Goddamn, this week is just all about driving my already-low opinion of this man and his enterprises into the fucking ground.

2 days ago my maga neighbour was like "if the covid vax is so good how come you get it every year" so I made a super sad face and dropped my voice and confessed that I was addicted to vaccines and wife is not happy with me because I have been expressly told to stop winding him up but HOW TO RESIST

🩸 we NEED to bring back men wearing low cut v necks with chest hair

I don't see the problem

The other nice thing about alt text is it lets me understand my friends jokes when I've never watched the show they're using as a reaction image!

GET SALTMARSHED IDIOT 🧂

just a lil more context. these maps show a breakdown of pop by racial demographics. darker blue = higher numbers. 1st: where Black ppl live 2nd: where white ppl live this is not a regional problem, nor is it entirely an issue of gerrymandering, suppression, etc; it is a white supremacy problem.

Damn soup has no texture

My stupid view, fwiw: Many sports have no inherent sex advantage. They should be desegregated. Any sport where height, weight or both confer an advantage (one way or the other) should be segregated by height, weight, or both, regardless of sex.

This is the thing, if "academia" wanted to stop this, we could easily tomorrow. Over 3 incorrect references? Rejected and forbidden to submit next year. The purpose of a system is what it does!

imagine sitting on a potential challenger to the current bloc of social media platforms people are on but dislike for various reasons and going "no, no I must burn through my userbase's goodwill as fast as possible because I'm too bitter that funny trans women are more popular than AI dweebs"

hello to everyone else included in the "anti-ai ai haters" blocklist the technical advisor of bluesky just followed 🫡 it's an honor just to be nominated

Anyone who's for democracy should be in favor of DC statehood, and consider what the people of Puerto Rico and other U.S.-held territories want in terms of governance and self-determination. I'd love to see DC statehood herald a domino effect.

every day i am reminded that we are not stuck on this website with them, but they sure as hell are stuck here with us

Imagine making AI bird slap when Sage grouses exist

pete hegseth is so bad at his job that we're like one tick away from the gray zone being like "actually, pete hegseth is good, because he effectively stands against american imperialism"

It's way past time to learn that a truly staggering amount of social media sociology takes are just someone who refuses to pay a professional for the purpose taking out their pathologies on you instead but framed as advice

This would be horrific no matter what it was referring to. But "cleaning up the risk pool" by eliminating vaccines just means you kill a bunch of people WHILE ALSO creating a whole new "risk pool" of people with post-viral issues.

in light of recent rfk bullshit, a reminder: when you call evil ppl insane, you're just contributing to stigma that gets mentally ill people killed. cut that shit out.

My story starts with the MC traveling hundreds of miles to merc the guy who killed his brother lol.

*Points emphatically* Once--and only once, involving an interstate felony where I was the victim--did a cop do a goddamned thing besides tell me to go away. And even there they didn't charge the person. Cops don't protect people. They don't even "solve crimes." They're TSA-style security theater.

Fascists and Nazis hate history, and historians; but understand the power of history. Thats why, across the world, they work so hard to control HOW we tell stories about the past, to drive out diverse critical voices and perspectives, to ensure a narrative that makes them look good.

Ah the eternal rift between "never give up your dreams" and "be grateful for what you have."

you don't get to tap out because this is not a game

happy lesbian week

Happy birthday to all the stoner lesbians out there. The service you provide to society is immeasurable 🫡

happy #lesbianvisibilityweek!

Dudes who actually buy into manosphere bullshit love to go on about biological/gender essentialism and The Natural Order, but when you tell 'em "So where's the problem, most males in the animal kingdom never get a chance to procreate, I guess your genes must be inferior" suddenly there's an issue :V

Absolutely. The things LLMs are arguably best at, transcription of audio files or print text, its spokespeople almost never talk about, and its critics only mention in cases of privacy issues and when ppl dont bother checking their outputs (despite its relative ease). Bc it's niche.

Lot of people discussing this with the idea of failing faster. I would put it to you that failure doesn’t actually have to exist at all in this conception. One of the great mistakes of the AI brouhaha is the belief that art is good because of its craft or content. It is good because it connects us.

I think about this all the time
