The Star Trek Generator says that you should buy my book!!!!!!! www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/746817...

I couldn't resist

Starbucks done EFFED up in Korea. Bad. May 18th just passed, Democratic Movement Day, when rose up after the military dictatorship sent tanks to mass-murder citizens. Some inappropriately call it "Tank Day." Starbucks commemorated Tank Day with a sale on tank tumblers. It gets much worse...

I love Snuffy 😭

This debacle could bring down The Guardian.

Tangentially but related, if someone says ‘diversity of thought’ to you they fully intend to put you in a death camp

The Marketplace of Ideas people immediately forcefully shut down all dissent, bought all media, sued & fired all critics & arrested & caged journalists reporting on their heinousness as soon as they got control & all of this was entirely predictable & people who warned of it were called overreactors

In related news, an Ontario Superior Court judge ruled this week that the regional govt can’t clear an encampment in Kitchener unless the homeless people have somewhere to go www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

The Ontario govt has a full-pager in my paper claiming that homeless people are dangerous

Side note: a raw veggie that’s warm from the sun is exquisite. Absolutely exquisite. It’s what being alive is about

I miss not realizing how many people including leftists are eugenicists

degendering and regendering are different processes but they are both violent. trans men sort of flew under the radar bc we were invisibilized, not bc we were accepted. now that ppl are more and more aware of us we're seeing more anti-transmasculine BS

sorry sorry you all know my politics but one thing that has always annoyed me from being a baby trans to now is whenever people say transphobes hate trans men less than trans women. no they don't. it manifests differently but just stop lol

haven't re-upped this thing in a minute. Check it out. go.bsky.app/VaypaqC

I think "degenerate" is a term that can't be reclaimed cause of the fact that if you reclaim it you are saying "you're right, eugenics is real and I *AM* of inferior genetics and proud of it :)"

😬 "This works similar to a normal camera, the difference being that in our case, radio waves instead of light waves are used for the recognition," explains the cybersecurity expert. "Thus, it does not matter whether you carry a WiFi device on you or not."

Oscar Isaac deserves credit for being, as far as I know, the first major actor to capture the tech bro CEO, in Ex Machina. Those guys were all over the news by then, but movies were still doing the "babbling nerd with a pocket protector" thing. Also accurate: what he really wants is slavery.

1/ I have huge respect for people with the courage to join the Global Sumud Flotilla. They put their bodies at risk because they do not believe their lives are more valuable than the lives of Palestinians.

"the go the fuck to sleep baby is a they / them going to Bard, feel old yet???"

we're having a good time here

I'd REALLY appreciate it if anyone who sees this would try out my text generators so I can iron out any remaining bugs. Please, and thank you! trek.epicrandomness.com

"a woman is an adult human organized around the production of large gametes" Teleological argument/begging the question

"you're a man" ad hominem "you were born a boy" sunk cost fallacy "you're amab" false dichotomy "you have xy chromosomes" false equivalence "trans people are mentally ill" non sequitur "changing your sex isn't possible" skill issue

just, if you were curious, other things that don’t resolve the underlying problem of an unsupportive family: • making sure unsupportive family can intervene, undermine, & abuse the child at the earliest convenience • EPISTEMICIDE i know it’s not a good faith answer but wikipedia is still free.

They bought all of our choices, political, lifestyle and economic. But they did not wager the cost of our *refusal*. It is fascinating. Grim but fascinating.

AI is the lynchpin of the whole political project. It’s the container for the parallel governance they have promised each other. I truly think that they are surprised that people don’t like it…and that they can’t yet wholesale punish everyone for not liking them.

Do you know I actually think that these people are so inoculated from any public sentiment that they are legitimately shook by a handful of boos at commencements this week?

don't worry there's more

My first repost on here. Possibly the only one I will do, at least for a while. Jey is not only an incredible activist who has already made so much in the way meaningful impact on the world, they are also my friend and lovely person.

Not nostalgic at all, but they used to at least pretend to be giving you what you want and now it’s just “this is inevitable,” which among other things, is the language of abusers.

Counterpoint: No I will not

“Tooth decay was a leading cause of death hundreds to thousands of years ago, peaking roughly in the 1600s to 1800s. Before the advent of antibiotics, bacteria from the mouth could travel to the heart and colonize damaged heart valves, causing them to become severely inflamed.”

“The most likely fillings would have been beeswax, pine pitch, birch tar or some other herbal reduction yielding a paste that could have been applied as needed and would presumably have had analgesic if not antiseptic properties, in addition to simply keeping the hole filled.”

Wow: “The tooth’s hollow had been scooped out by a stone drill rather than by natural decay or wear… The findings indicated that the prehistoric patient underwent a deliberate Stone Age root canal, a discovery that pushes back the earliest evidence of intentional dentistry by more than 40,000 years”

The deepest point in the Great Lakes is about to be explored LIVE. Come along on the search for deepwater sculpin, giant siscowet trout, colourful hydra, and perhaps even the elusive kiyi- never photographed alive in its natural habitat. Planned live dive: June 6 at 1 PM Weather window: June 6–9

This isn’t the ocean. It’s the Great Lakes. "Hidden Below" is now in production — a new @tvodocs.bsky.social documentary that uses robots to reveal the underwater world, from familiar species to ones you won’t believe live here. Our partners: @ncccnc.bsky.social @freshwatercanada.bsky.social

Ever wondered what’s hiding in the deepest, darkest corners of the Great Lakes? We’re teaming up with @hiddenbelow.bsky.social to send an underwater drone to the deepest known point in the Great Lakes on June 6 at 1 PM ET and livestream what we find. See you there: www.facebook.com/events/10001...

What are the rest of us doing? Neocities? Bring back forums and irc? I’m in.

The attempt to push - as default - the search bar as “By typing, you are directly addressing me, a barely functional LLM system that has no feedback system or way of knowing how I arrived at my answer” is going to kill the collective resource we used to call ‘the internet’.
