Ok so this morning I woke up with sudden pain through the abdomen, then a cold flash, then vomiting and GI distress. Now I have intermittent 3/10 low-grade upper left quadrant pain. Any ideas? Asking because usually I need to have a specific idea to get doctors to investigate

Reading the SCP Foundation's 9000Con entries and damn this shit is bleak as fuck

Kirk was only relevant to them as long as he was alive. Chances are we will remember him for longer and more respectfully than his supporters, and we fucking hate his ass

If anyone doubts this, the scenario described here is pretty much the exact scenario that underpinned the foundational Jim Crow ruling in Plessy v Ferguson. This is a five alarm fire

Cool, so it’s basically Plessy o’clock again. Great. Very cool and normal

“The cause of autism is The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. Some people say it is and some people might not think it is, but we feel very strongly that that is the case. We have some incredible people, who by the way just started working on the new ballroom for the White House if you can believe it.”

So we have had a very bad week. For reasons both boring and disgusting (slug in my CPAP isn’t cleaning up right!), we’re short until the government decides to disburse my loans. Jason has done a full 50% off commissions for anyone interested. ko-fi.com/cluelessluca

i can't wait for the trump admin to reveal what causes autism tomorrow so i can get started on my autismmaxxing regimen

When you ask someone how they separate out the good ideas from the bad they’ll tell you It Just Works because They Have the Good Brain that does the Science and Logic Correctly by directly perceiving Reality— the explanation for the mess of society is that Those Idiots Have the Bad Stupid Brains.

Folks: i'm still looking for work. I have a tentative thing that is supposed to start at the end of this month, but we are definitely going to need help with October rent (about USD $1250). I know everyone's life sucks right now and i'm SO tired of having to ask. But if you can help, please do:

Looking very woebegone about whatever the fuck happened this morning to extract maximum sympathy from my girlfriend over text

These people really do think they’re invincible

you guys

Please boost this, its getting no traction!

I will consider them weak and powerless when innocent brown and black men stop jumping off of roofs at gun point, when mothers stop having failed pregnancies while bound like an animal in a cage.

the fact they're out here running "abigail spanberger will trans your kids" against one of the most conservative candidates out of the Democratic Party is a great example of why actually standing up for trans people, especially kids, is the only way to go

i also want to note that "i don't want children to have to undergo genital inspections" is an extremely easy argument to make and the fact that elected liberals cannot manage it is because they are either incompetent or complicit and i do not give a shit which

🚨UPDATE: In response to the boycott that erupted over the weekend, Disney decided to update the cancellation process on their website, making it MORE DIFFICULT FOR THEIR SUBSCRIBERS TO STOP GIVING THEM MONEY. This underhanded strategy hasn’t retained customers as they hoped.

Love to wake up in the morning, have a wave of searing pain through my stomach, have a wave of cold flash across me, and then immediately start throwing up, among other things. A tremendous way to spend my 9 AM

"Don't speak ill of the dead" being made into an unbreakable commandment by a culture that has done so much to shame away and erase any connection to ancestors in the cultures it oppresses is absolutely infuriating.

“Not even as useful as Horst Wessel” is a heck of an epitaph.

ari drennan works for media matters and has openly said that her posting on her personal account to try and scold and manipulate trans people is an extension of her professional duties. she is in fact paid for it.

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win (h/t @miriamposner.com) www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

watching even a few seconds of the kirk funeral makes it clear a large quantity of this country is ready for full on nazi authoritarianism and we have to really grapple with how much we need to put a stop to this as quickly as possible

In this one a doctor talks about doing an emergency c-section on a beheaded woman to deliver her baby.

This is a ten minute video broken up into parts for Bluesky from two australian doctors who made it into Gaza. The video starts with them saying the baby formula they brought with them was taken away and that Israel bombing the hospital in front of them and lying about giving warnings

They abandoned the whole free speech thing as soon as people started saying things that genuinely offended them. It wasn’t that they were so tolerant that they accepted nazi talk as a necessary evil to protect speech writ large, they just liked saying and hearing slurs bsky.app/profile/jame...

It's interesting to me that most to all of the Soulsborne games take place at the end of history. I haven't played DEMON'S SOULS (either version) or BLOODBORNE, but I've played all of the DARK SOULS games and ELDEN RING and this theme seems to hold true through all of them

the old world never existed. the new world will never exist. it's always been the time of monsters

Vivian Wilson talks about how accessing gender affirming care as a teen was lifesaving at the Teen Vogue Summit.

Disney adults canceling subscriptions, vacations, etc really are making the Harry Potter adults that threw a fit over a $60 video game look like huge bitches

"... non-inverters are better gamers ..." thank you that's all I needed to hear goodnight vindicated forever

I can see why people do not understand that lib pundits like Jesse Singal sexually harass children about their healthcare while also supporting institutions that make children socialize with pedophiles, not because they are misguided but because those are the moral values those pundits believe in.

Oh no I'm talking about tactics too. I think someone in congress should be maximally inflammatory about the fact that the government is run by nazis who want to torture strangers and sexually assault children, and that going along with them makes people collaborators with torturers and child abusers

The only way to defend freedom of speech is to articulate to everyone the ideas that are being suppressed. the violation of freedom of speech in this country has always been the suppression of the idea that violent force is acceptable to overthrow millionaires who torture strangers and rape children

Obviously the answer is abuse is the material basis for norms to be meaningless. abuse will not only kill people, it will infect meaning, it will violate meaning, it will kill meaning. You can't kill the idea of the common good without killing everything. and then, narcissistic nihilism kills itself

The casuistry of liberals demands an elaborate dance to act without being morally culpable. For example, @aoc.bsky.social believes that @mcbride.house.gov voting to honor the life and work of a nazi, mysteriously, does not do the harm of honoring the life and work of a nazi. this is abusive morality

Paradoxically, freedom of speech must be unnecessary for its antidote. Rather, the principle of freedom of speech ought to be: if you don't allow the idea of resisting abuse to be articulated in a society, eventually that society will break down and a lot of people will suffer and die because of you

erika probably has most or all of the same connections as the late small-face and a reasonable degree of rapport with many of them. unfortunately, while she may be the first gargoyle to win a child beauty pageant, she is quite thoroughly juiceless

work kirk performed. he was still nigh on essential to them despite having built up TPUSA into a matured sociocultural rot superspreader apparatus. there is significant concern among the progress-haters that there will be nobody else who can wield it nearly as well to do anywhere near as much.

the panic tells me that turning point, while of course very useful and valuable to the enemy, was built more as an apparatus for kirk to wield to do the work that creates the lion’s share of the value of kirk and toilet point combined. it’s not really organized to be equally capable of most of the

going off of the largely arbitrary estimation of the intensity and scale of the reaction to kirk’s death as being about an order of magnitude greater than i would have expected it to be given the assumption that turning point can and already does provide nearly all of the value kirk once did himself

and i mean, i knew he was quite powerful, especially in his ability to deliver a huge chunk of the total possible youth vote for a campaign, but now i wonder if i wasn’t off the mark by something like an order of magnitude, maybe two

it seems uncomfortably likely to me that he had become very close to the most powerful (both in terms of his soft-power sociopolitical influence and in the leverage it gave him in negotiations) man outside of the white house/admin

…an ally for any of the factions to be able to justify damaging their relationship with him and risk losing the access he provided them to other factions, turning point resources, and his uniquely valuable core and target audiences

i think he was perceived, however accurately, to be so valuable in his ability to corrupt the youth vote and especially to spread the rot to young white men and teens that it gave him both a substantial degree of leverage over most or all of the other factions and also made him too attractive…
