these are getting weird

every time I say this, someone didn't know: you can get the NYRB, the New Yorker, the LRB, Paris Review, The Spectator (weirdly not New Statesman), The Week, both French & Italian Vogue & New Scientist among many many other magazines FREE via the Libby app from your local library?

Noooooooo

Yep. The value of corporations rolling out the rainbow carpet isn't what's in their heart of hearts, it's the society-wide signaling of "acceptance is good, bigotry is bad." Even if entirely insincere, it tells society "we think the majority of our customers expect this," and that's good!

Every year for Pride, I repost Hue. I made him to send love and comfort to those who feel Pride isn’t for them because they aren’t out. You matter, you are valid, and it’s ok if you aren’t ready yet. Coming out is not a requirement for being part of this community. Happy Pride 🌈

Yes. Using a computer now feels like this at all times.

It's that time of the year!!!

Wikimedia Foundation just fired a long time lead developer of MediaWiki as well as its entire community team for unionizing. If you’re a donor, email [email protected] to protest this move. medium.com/@jakeorlowit...

a good portion of what people mean by “crime” is “visible homeless people, some of whom are behaving erratically“

Don’t think too long about how debut-era Jimin, with his uncomfortably forced macho sex symbol persona, would feel about Arirang-era Jimin, with his entirely self-directed effervescent sex symbol status or you will cry

hard to exaggerate how heroic these men were. they likely saved dozens of children's lives. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Once upon a time Google was literally the most amazing information retrieval system I have seen in my life. It was quick and returned primary sources to read on almost any subject. It was better than magic. It makes me sick to see what they've done to that resource.

It's the TAKE OUT THE TRASH cycle. We may not get this opportunity again. Put these fucks out of work, do everything in your power to ship their asses.

If you're mad at this (and you should be): Tomorrow at 1pm 120 Schermerhorn in BK Rally to demand accountability from the absolute ghouls in our courts.

Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed.   Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us.

been waiting for this to hit english news but this is fucking outrageous

This is bold faced nazi shit

Trans folks: as best you can, tune out the headlines, spend time with one another, build friendship and community. This wave is going to break: their political projects have never been less popular. Were gonna make it through this year and on the other side all our enemies will fall. Stay alive

Great news! Botswana has decriminalised homosexuality with the repeal of its colonial-era sodomy law. 🏳️‍🌈🇧🇼

you see tom in drag, you repost tom in drag

This is so perfect I can’t believe it

Many people are aware of at least one good reason to avoid Hogwarts Legacy. Fewer are aware that it’s a retelling of the antisemitic “blood libel” myth. Yes, really. The game’s central antagonist is a greedy, hook-nosed “goblin” trying to kidnap children and use their blood for a magic ritual.

never forget

The amount of misinformation we’re getting about an incident that just occurred in front of 1,500 news reporters is truly the metaphor of our generation.

Zhang Shan won the gold medal for the mixed skeet shooting event in the 1992 Olympics. The International Shooting Union *immediately* banned women from competing against men.

people will tell you it’s complicated but it’s really not

A not insignificant part of me wishes bts was boycotting all us tour stops. Atp I feel we’re as worthy of boycotts as Israel, and the length to which their presence will continue to normalize our actions cannot be understated. But why start caring now I guess

Putting aside Sam Altman just continuing to emit huge lies constantly, this is an amazing example of what I mean when I talk about how GenAI is replacing *extremely low energy* digital tasks with *WAY WAY HIGHER ENERGY* replacements that *do not even work* Why TF is anyone using ChatGPT as a timer!

Happy Trans Day of Visibility ❤️🏳️‍⚧️❤️

wouldn't it be funny if EVERYONE blocked this Attie AI account @ bsky.app/profile/atti... before they could do anything with it

Ok now that we’re getting Run back, prayer circle that the producers remembered Jimin said he wanted a pole dancing episode 🙏🕯️

(softly) what the fuck

There are some interpretations as to what the color symbolism is representing here. It could be just the yin and yang. But I had a Korean teacher tell me just last week about how in modern Korea, the color red is often associated with brides while blue is associated with grooms +

In Normal, he has these lines: Heavy is the head when you chasin' true Will you color me red? Will you color me blue? Two sides of a coin, and they both ain't true Is it different for mе? Is it different for you? --- Red and blue in Korea can mean different things +

Big Ocean doing the ASL version of "Swim"

I love Yoongi but I'm 😬😬😬 about this take and I very much disagree with what he says. It is not inevitable unless we accept it as inevitable. I will keep fighting this "inevitability" because I see artists as humans and art as a profoundly human thing. The tech industry can suck it.

Get in!!!!!! Kneecap: 3 Brit Govt: 0 The worlds biggest terrorists are the leaders of the British state. Free Palestine Free the 6 counties

NO NO NO YOU DON’T GUYS LET ME PLEASE SPREAD THE GOSPEL OF FREE TAX USA federal is free, state is $16, handles even my chaotic freelancer taxes just fine, same step-by-step “designed for normies” kind of interface as TurboTax but NOT EVIL tell everyone you know www.freetaxusa.com

For years we said they’re going for a genocide of trans people and for years we were told to “stop being so dramatic.” Now we’re at the point of human experimentation with the explicit goal of eradicating us. Can we call the genocide a fucking genocide now?

You only have a short time to comment. They are trying to destroy our forests to enrich a few logging company executives and the politicians they’ve paid off. Leave your comment here: eplanning.blm.gov/Participate-... morethanjustparks.substack.com/p/blm-announ...

1. This is despicably evil. 2. This needs to be fought at every level. There is no world in which this cannot be considered cruel and unusual punishment. 3. Those behind this effort need to be exposed and never know a moments peace.

We killed 85 schoolgirls. We are not the good guys.

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

it's 2016: north carolina introduces a bill to ban trans people from using bathrooms safely. there's a national outcry; companies withdraw business up to and including the NCAA cancelling a publicized game. the bill fails. it's 2026: kansas passes a law nullifying trans people's licenses. crickets.
