I don't have autism, I have awe and wonder in my heart. I'm passionate about special things.

To a great degree we’re dealing with the fallout from a generation of men who got lucky once during a specific moment in tech evolution, made to feel as gods, but are all now suffering their mid-life crises having accomplished nothing else of note. These men have made nothing other than money.

I just got a message from the data recovery place, and they said the SSD is essentially fried, but it has recoverable data, and it'll be R$1800 (US$338.31) to do the job. I'm seriously considering doing commissions (of what, I'm not sure yet) to help cover this. Anyway, that's the update.

Hows about some monochrome rubber yeen ?

House and Senate staffers were given sponsored trips over the August recess to attend conferences on AI policy and company tours with Google, Meta, Palantir, and SpaceX, according to travel disclosures.

Rise up neurodiverts

At this point, anyone who believes a single word out of the authorities' mouth is a rube or a collaborator when they're presenting such. Like come on, "engraved bullets with leftist ideology" every time they pick up some right winger? Ensuring that the shooter can never give a statement?

Oh for heaven's sake! This is the FAKEST thing ever! Do these people seriously think we're that stupid? Why would someone write on a single unspent shell casing in a blue marker pen usually found in an office setting? And "anti-ice" REALLY? Could that be a more obvious false flag attack?

I’ve been a part of multiple news orgs covering Trump for the last 10+ years, and yes, those outlets are on the left, but there’s just no need to constantly clean up his language. It’s bad journalism. Just quote what he says and does! Tell the truth!

I haven’t seen a lot of cis people I usually see pushing for calls, etc. doing so about these rules provisions, which would devastate trans people nationally. Calls need to be made to all electeds and a firm stance taken ASAP, with ten times the fervor of the Kimmel/D+ event

Genuinely don't think I've seen a better metaphor for modern-day Christianity than this. Self-aggrandizing, plutocratic, white-supremacist, popularity-obsessed, putting oneself on the same level as the savior but unwilling to shoulder the same burden. It's art, just not in the way they intended.

Let's make sure that we're remembering to do this too. It's been a whirlwind, but Jimmy Kimmel's return is a sign that we can still make a difference with payment processors too.

i have seen exactly zero evidence to suggest that peter thiel is anything other than a dumbass who got lucky once

I just got kicked off of Medicaid and I still don't even have income yet. The safety net is completely gone and not just precarious.

pretty sure that if Le Monde calls your trans kid a "fashion week sensation" while you're scaremongering about bathrooms in an off-year Virginia gubernatorial they should just scroll credits on your ass because it's over www.lemonde.fr/en/m-le-mag/...

Looking at this terrible music video and it's literally all just zoom shots into a person, even if it didn't look like ai, that's some very uninspired production design.

Tfw your professor says they don't understand why you're having trouble keeping up with people who have personal assistants and familial support while you have a health condition, a full time job, and some asinine debt after coming from a poor family.

I finally went through and did a spreadsheet of my grocery budget and there's not actually that much that can be cut, but $220 is getting sub-maintenance calories.

"If I move really slowly, they won't notice me." *slowly chews another grape*

god forbid

It's almost like trans mascs said this for years and got repeatedly shut down over it 😒 spoiler alert: the people making these laws are repulsed by transness as a concept, the gender of it is irrelevant

The US has yet to recognize the KKK or a wide variety of other groups of violent racists as a terrorist organization.

*making possum noises* herreherheerhehereeehehrehereherh

imagine trying to cancel GWAR they've been doing this for 40 years and are fucking legends

no surprise

Was a short stream tonight, since I do have some stuff to do in the morning tomorrow. Here's some work for the SFW raffle winners over on Bluesky. See y'all on Thursday on Piczel for the spicy stream! Mentions in replies #ArtStream #Furry #FurryArt #Anthro #AnthroArt #Monster #MonsterArt #FanArt

Why the absolute fuck does my community college have a shirt that's not only more compelling but more technically competent than the top 10 nationally ranked 4 year art school I went to before this?

I voted for Harris, Biden, and Clinton knowing they were shit choices and I'm not allowed to criticize them as a progressive? Yet alone, I also get the blame for them losing? Liberals that keep foistong these garbage candidates on the populace (then lose) need to look inward for fucking once.

Kidnapping and holding someone hostage as bait

I saw an article about messed up police challenge tokens a while back but it looks like it's been scrubbed.

The day the DIA published those Most Wanted Iraqi playing cards in 2003, we lost our moral high horse permanently.

the biden administration spent nearly four years refusing to take any victory laps. they allowed the right to dominate the storyline and bs filled the vacuum. their biggest accomplishments they added dumb "bipartisan" language to. so the public was left w the impression biden wasnt doing anything.

White people can move the needle if they want. Y'all got Jimmy Kimmel back on the air boycotting, you can throw some of that expendable income to support the vulnerable through mutual aid, you can make some moves against fascism instead of performatively bemoaning what you think doesn't affect you.

I wish I could afford to be rubrposs.

A local office is running completely unopposed and it's too late to get on the ballot, but a write-in campaign might actually be feasible for this.

The surest sign you're "good at stuff" is having to browbeat everybody you meet about how good you are at it, right?

Disney adults, did you know there's a hidden Mickey in your divorce papers?

Happy one year anniversary to this banger tweet that got so ridiculously blown out of proportion that it got us 70k wishlists in like a day

...knowing Jəsse's the author (& that gender-affirming care practitioners are well aware of his biases & tactics) utterly changes the meaning of the last paragraph. without attribution, it makes it sound like the authors are suspiciously dodging the question. in actuality they know he's a bad actor!

From the outlet that asked if we should be sterilized, it comes as no surprise that they would hide the author.

Happy Rapture Day to all who celebrate 💋

Intuit buying Mint to replace it with CreditKarma fucking sucks. I had to go back to spreadsheets.

I FUCKIN LOVE OPOSSUMS
