Oh snap 🫰

The most fun part about social media is that while different ones have different amounts of bullshit no one has a monopoly on it, and you can find the absolute most unhinged takes literally anywhere. Like on LinkedIn from accounts with no PFP!

Okay, work is over for the day; ya'll are free from me for another ~15 hours. Huzzah!

And just gonna repost this one now for literally no reason. Definitely not related to anything, nuh-uh.

For anyone (such as, say, all the people quoting me right now) claiming that I was supporting Platner; this is me a few months ago. I didn't get more involved in the Maine election because it's the Maine election, not the Bluesky election. But I was suspicious of him for a while. Still fuck the DNC

We could really use the memberships right now, because we're in the process of breaking up with our longtime hosting service, Squarespace. If the above post is a bit spicy for you to hit re-post on, maybe repost this? bsky.app/profile/assi...

Wait I thought our prize was being talked down to about "why are you suggesting we should be doing anything different than what we did to get in this situation in the first place?" #DontVoteBlueNoMatterWho

I want a Federal Government that protects civil rights too, motherfuckers. We don't HAVE one. So what are you proposing we do about it? Bc I'm saying we should seek to weaken the federal government if it is actively opposed to human rights and basic freedoms.

I don’t consider them heroes but I’ve figured out this past decade that Pride Month should primarily be for us, not for brands.

Happy Pride Month~! :3

I love the GameFAQs forums I hope they never get removed

I can't decide what's more late stage capitalism; my vet emailing me "Check out our weekly sales on cat medication" or the weather app trying to get my views by pinging me "What's the weather like next week? It may surprise you!"

I'm on break! That means it's time to play a new old game! Remember when X-COM was relevant? I sure do! Skipping right to Chimera Squad because I can. Live now at www.twitch.tv/galacticbaron

When you see news reports about the pro-ICE protest outside Delaney Hall today, know that it is about 6 people total surrounded by a million cameras with about 75 to 100 anti-ICE demonstrators across the street.

Respect For Friend Drops After Reading Book They Recommended

Why are public libraries worth protecting? So that knowledge itself does not become privatized. That's the *real* danger of pushing everyone to go to sites like Google or to A.I. chatbots for answers.

Comics Author: In my comic book series I invented the Punisher as a cautionary tale. Guys with sunglasses-in-truck profile photos: At long last, I have become the Punisher from classic comic book series Don't Become The Punisher.

You can sum up the entirety of the good and bad things about the American character in the stories of two Mt. St. Helens victims: David A. Johnston, the pioneering volcanologist who was killed making scientific observations, and Harry R. Truman who was a dumb old dipshit who refused to evacuate.

oh wow it's that thing that was only happening in everybody's heads

so, this is deeply, deeply horrifying thedreydossier.substack.com/p/i-found-a-...

They stole the internet’s knowledge and all the work that went into it and they want to sell it back to us for a fee. What a business model.

In the run up to Lorna and Alex’s wedding both of them had bachelor/bachelorette parties featuring shapeshifting strippers who have shapeshifted into their coworkers. The X-Men need an HR department.

Could there be a better example of "the trans debate" than 98% of women supporting trans people and then one single lone person voting against them and getting their way regardless. It's all such a fucking sham

GitHub is just the latest victim of TeamPCP, a gang that has carried out a spree of software supply chain attacks that has impacted hundreds of organizations.

We all literally, LITERALLY just watched NASA fly four absolute all-stars the farthest any human has ever been from Earth and back flawlessly, and yet we're still continuously forced to pretend Musk's bullshit catastrophe factory is the future of human space exploration

Seriously BlueSky; what the fuck is wrong with your trending section suddenly?

Other people talking to their cats: "Who's a good cat? You are!" Me talking to Ayla: "Goddammit you co-dependent creature, I am allowed to exist in absence of you!"

Musk v Altman JUDGE: The jury has sent a question and the answer is no, the death penalty is not "available for both sides" please return to the jury room and limit your consideration to civil damages.

interesting rationale from a prospective juror in the Elon Musk Twitter stock manipulation case

Oh yeah, hope ya don't mind tacking this on. I have a recent post talking about drawing some of the details of this poster on my Patreon if anyone is interested in the thought that goes into something like this: www.patreon.com/posts/detail...

It feels so weird for it to be class time and not be in class. "The train broke down AND I have a flat tire so I can't get all the way to the city" may be accurate, but it feels so wrong...

Stop bullying trans people

In a recent survey, 65 nations named the United States as the greatest threat to their country—over six times higher than runner-up Russia. I’m confident I can get that number even higher. by J.D. Vance

One of the few good lessons I learned in Game Theory: In a hypothetical scenario there are "good companies" who are always good, "bad companies" who are always bad, and everyone else who's incentivized to be good to look like a good company. Once you reveal you're not good, you're sunk.

In the comments: ”I'll just note that Canvas is no longer a pedagogical tool; in its current iteration and ownership structure, faculty and students are trapped in a digital learning environment that mines our labor without consent or privacy and intellectual property protections.”

Devil's Riff. 😈

It's 4:20pm

I just submitted final grades and am so full of despair. Some of my students did amazing work and I couldn't be more proud. But the number of students who phoned in the most basic shit and used AI for the simplest of projects was staggering and so fucking depressing.
