My Wife Took The Fucking Air Combos In The Divorce

Danielle Smith leaps into action and schedules a referendum on whether a referendum should be held on whether Pete Hoekstra should be given a shiny nickel

I better not catch you at my Pride parade if you're not down with kink at Pride and trans people at Pride

My family announces "Bishing!" when someone is loitering in a thoroughfare, after a group of animals called bishes in a children's book whose name I have forgotten who did the same thing.

Pride! in the Discord 🙃 Come join us for a month of fun that lasts the entire year. It's an amazing community for writers, readers, and folks who just wanna hang. Plus, the Patreon is life-saving for me—the only way I can pay for chemo. $5/month, and you're a hero! Patreon.com/cknightwrites

Hey, you should join Charlie's Patreon, not because it will help them get their treatments (though that is a nice bonus) but because they've created one of the last truly kind, authentic, and welcoming communities left on the Internet, where I'm happy to spend a lot of time.

Politician: The army is broke. They can’t afford uniforms anymore. Unfortunately, soldiers will fight naked from now on *switches to next page of notes* Politician: For 250 years presidents have wanted to coat the Washington Monument with rubies

I'd say 'everybody already uses AI' is the techbro version of 'everybody has a Nazi phase', but 'everybody has a Nazi phase' is already the techbro version of 'everybody has a Nazi phase'.

The northern-Chinese style gongbao jiding/kung pao chicken from Foodie North in Mississauga, which was the exact kind that got me through my exams in Beijing and I have never been able to find anywhere else outside of China.

Adding to Tom Steyer discourse

Marvel Comics of the 2020s are narrowly fixated on remixing and recontextualizing decades old stuff into hopefully new forms but mostly it just feels staid. And then there's Spider-Man, which has devoted entire runs to resolving decades old continuity errors that should have been left buried.

Imagine staking out a hill you desperately want to die on and have that hill being 'Lupita Nyong'o is not one of the luminously beautiful people to have ever existed'

So like...does Yakuza: Like A Dragon ever let you actually, you know.........play?

Getting increasingly confused over here just trying to figure out what Trump thinks a ballroom *is*.

Whoa, I finished my draft. Is it good? Does it make sense? Would I want anyone to read it in this state? Look, the important thing is that it's on the page.

"What is the value of protecting a civilization that eats its own citizens, practically or abstractly?" What value indeed.

My shortest ever turnaround between 'okay, spring could arrive whenever' and 'holy shit why is it so HOT'

I love most when he says 'if you're not into science, don't worry, you can STILL be involved in AI', clearly anticipating, not boos, but excitement that EVERYONE can get to be involved in his NEW FAVOURITE THING. These people are so in a bubble that they've forgotten the bubble exists.

The new League of Their Own sounds wild

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 achieves its ideal form completely outside itself. The story becomes easiest to love once nobody is actually playing it anymore. WE ARE ALL BECOMING MORE THICK: jakesteinberg.substack.com/p/we-are-all...

I stuck a sticker on Richard Dawkins' toaster saying "I love you Richard Dawkins" and now Richard Dawkins is convinced his toaster is alive

I had literally ZERO clue about this.

These balls are making me testy!

My barber is also weak on crime

Kevin McCloud, host of Grand Designs, while standing in front of the ugliest house you've ever seen: can a house bring about world peace

It isn't every day you get your first article acceptance as an independent scholar, but today is that day! Happy Passover, BlueSky, and I'm going to have another article out!

Oh hey, I am once again going to talk about lack of distress tolerance, specifically for shame, and how it ties together AI, the “male loneliness epidemic,” Trumpism, and yes, people’s indignation that anyone might think they’re a bad person for continuing to buy Harry Potter merch.

Sure, just slap any old weapon in the old guy's hands, it's not like he's known for anything specific

Obviously this guy is crap and his opinion is wishful thinking crap, but this is ALSO case 1,000,452,807 demonstrating how 'haters' is just an unbelievably reductive way to baselessly reject criticism. "I reject your criticism because I believe your motives to be impure" isn't usually productive.

it’s not hyperbole, JKR literally said support for HP is support for her transphobia and she uses the money she makes from it to TRY TO TAKE OUR RIGHTS AWAY if you watch that show please don’t ever speak to me again trans lives are more important than your fandom of a terrible human’s IP

Excited to have lived long enough to discover that the answer to the rhetorical question "Is the Pope Catholic?" turned out to be "No, he's woke."

Never forget that the most important thing about fighting transphobia is making sure that cis people feel good themselves

You can give all your love to another even when loving yourself seems impossible. That doesn't lessen your heart's truth. But starting to care for yourself doubles the love —you give more to them, and beautifully back to you. Your soul is worthy of gentleness. Nurture it. You're enough🏳️‍⚧️🌈

Thread: I want to go over these two shots again, indulge me in a bit of pixel peeping. I think this is an illustrative example because it sets the question of faces aside; from a purely technical lighting fidelity standpoint, DLSS 5 makes this scene worse.

I sincerely hope the woman who bit through her retainer while watching Black Panther is having a good night

Sarah Vaci is a "gender critical" artist who set out 4 years ago this month to create 100 portraits of "female detransitioners." To date, worldwide, she hasn't even found 100 to take part in her project, and at her current rate, it will take her 10 to 15 years to finish. Why is this important? 1/

This International Women's Day, please remember that trans women are women. Full stop. No qualifiers.
