I think the best pairings are one neurotypical and one neurodivergent person One can sustain the mental damage from a job and the other can enrich their lives ✨💓🥰🙏🎉💅💯🗣️

I love that the Boston cop slide never got fixed and now people just willingly go down it in tribute. It’s basically a national landmark at this point

it's kind of the least surprising thing ever that they made a machine that generates uninteresting lofi beats to study to. spotify had already mechanized the hell out of that labor. most music that is listened to, by minutes, is listened to passively. no industry has really been disrupted here

as a "music tech" person i've had a lot of people come up to me and excitedly talk about suno or some other music generation app that they think is amazing. but none those people have been, like, avid music listeners or musicians or even really in music tech themselves. so.

Happy Veterans Day to Hank Green. He has suffered so much having to buy his Teslas from dealerships instead of reservation land. He has been so strong despite it all.

Hot straight man next state over offering coaching (quite a bit cheaper than coaching before) and maybe I just need to go for it

i like to think they didnt reject it because of woke they rejected it because kim davis is annoying

so is the lesson here that the air traffic controllers are more powerful as a group than the US Senate? Seems that way.

amaris, thancred, and shtola having autumn fun now includes hitting the DDOS with the scion company vehicle 🥰

humbly proposing that vape pens are quietly one of the most evil inventions in the past 25 years and that everyone involved should be tried at the hague

It really does seem like there's a decent chance that these senators screwed us because they don't want their personal Thanksgiving plans to be disrupted.

It’s actually made me furious at them, they messed with people’s lives for 40 some days for nothing.

Doing the Dissidia Duellum closed beta and found a do not share request in the app, did anyone else know Squeenix does this?

what's the next trend after everyone gets bored of pet play and sends all the dog girls to live on a farm upstate?

Oh my god

New York banned Four Loko for less than this

The ACLU petition still hasn't reached it's signature goal? WHAT? That needs to change now. 200k signatures is nothing, let's GET IT. AT LEAST! action.aclu.org/petition/mas...

i think after dozenss of scenarios where people were correct too soon in their assessments of dicks, frauds and absolute hacks we'd eventually see a shift towards more critical examination of these types the moment they appear. but we never do. we certainly don't get apologies for hitting bullseye.

New — While some states have received SNAP benefits for November and USDA is supposedly pushing through all federal payments soon, that doesn’t erase the psychological terror of the last few weeks. I spoke with 20+ SNAP recipients in 16 states about preparing for a possible future with no food:

Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market. This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

Reminder that all forms of doomerism in the media are funded by billionaire interests who are absolutely terrified of anything changing

"It's just a $7 coffee! You really think getting my coffee means I don't support Starbucks workers??"

People refusing to abandon pop stars even after they've shown they're kinda trash needs to be studied. (It's Katy Perry, this time)

Something worth noting: Rockstar is leaning HEAVILY on the excuse that the unionising employees were "leaking private company information" They want people to assume this means game info or assets. But I will bet you CASH MONEY this translates to: 'they were comparing salaries and work contracts"

if this is how the billionaires are going to move, I'm perfectly fine with watching little dramas and comedies filmed on iPhone Pros or whatever. I don't need this garbage in my life. The iPhone Pro movies will probably have better lighting than a 2025 major studio production anyway

On the same day that #Lula authorizes the use of the Armed Forces at #COP30, the People's Summit holds a training session with legal advisors as a means of protecting the right to protest during the climate meeting

hot take: media literacy is higher than ever we mostly see three things: - *partial* literacy can be very annoying and it is also higher than ever as a logical consequence of the prior - contentious readings are sometimes confused for illiterate ones - internet makes it super easy to see bad takes
