ok so the cost of living in america and western europe is too high and employers don't want to pay it. but they also want to raise prices of all consumer goods untiil nobody can afford them. what happens next may shock you

its easy to read optimism into the situation, that the contradictions are so obvious and bad that something better must come after. and i do think that in the long view of history, i really do. but i am not naive enough to believe it about the next decades of us/uk politics. its gonna be rough lads

the president xi my country calls for aid posts are going to get significantly less ironic by 2032

only a true visionary would know that "doing things" is harder than "thinking about doing things"

we still let her sit outside sometimes #naelgang

the important thing about making a ffxiv character is they have to look super fucking cool. you need to be protagonistmaxing. #FFXIVPosting

It's impossible to be the owner of a social media site and be a normal person, an innocent person, a person who doesn't know what human flesh tastes like

All the transhumanist ideas that trans people obviously represent will still be done by other rich or powerful people quietly behind closed doors.

It's so fascinating to me how the suits running all these big entertainment companies seemingly just have no clue why people actually listen to music or watch movies or look at any type of art

what a suspiciously dungeon-sized assemblage of npcs

ウンスキン ☁️👑 #umamusume

Bluesky will, with a userbase too large to enforce mores like "don't be a bigot," inevitably become hostile to trans people. Faster than most, because it obviously hasn't thought about what happens when terf island appears in force.

Once again: Hegseth is the exact type of guy The Art of War was written for, which means he will never read it

Anyway decided to transform into Vampire Edie for Halloween!!! Old comm from @natendoart.bsky.social !

Everyone in this admin is a different type of tik tok guy. Natural cures only no medicine guy. Alpha warrior guy who hasn't been in a fight with anyone except his wife. Evil trad wife

little known fact about lizards is that they just love cold, wet, and perpetually snowy environments #FFXIVPosting

i cant help but make cool glamours, even on my alt character #FFXIVPosting

SILENT HILL FUCKIN RULES AGAIN

[ssb] laying out my vision

I'm going to be honest here, I think AI is going to do so much damage to the usable internet that even after it's inevitably crashes out, it's going to take years to disentangle from every space it's polluted, like digital asbestos it's gonna be time consuming effort and likely expensive venture.

and you know, that one sticks out to me because the immediate gut response I have when I hear it is a bit like the chauffeur scenes in parasite, but a more generous read is to look at how much "the existence of rules means that every action requires permission" informs friction in shared spaces

This is *stunningly* disingenuous, and the fact that Singal continues to enjoy a career writing at the highest levels about a topic that he either unwilling or incapable of discussing honestly is such an indictment of the Anglo-American prestige media.

holy fuck they got ryukishi to write silent hill? now i want to play it

late night jokes

it's so insane that so much social media discussion like once every year or two is just "game popular... but... game hard... HOW DARE???"

Erika Kirk: My late husband, who is extremely dead, was basically Jesus. They say he had the neck of a holy martyr. He would have *very badly pretends to sob* wanted you to give him your money. Your *blows nose into a comically large handkerchief for a solid minute* donation will be a blessing

Strange, the bully is kicking my ass even though I've been telling everyone how much I respect him. Maybe he hasn't heard

ooohghhhhhhhggg…. Cow

It didn't make the piece, but I don't know how this thing would fare if it actually existed. Used to be you could count on one of the Nat-Sci kids boosting acid from the lab and melting the head until it looked like that Calvin and Hobbes where Calvin's bubblegum popped and wrapped around his face.

If these things actually get erected they'll be the focus on intense surveillance. Look for any defacement to be punished in draconian fashion.

Staffing a government full of guys who sell weird internet dick pills, turns out to mean they have a vested interest in destroying food and drug safety regulations. Who woulda thought

Twitter, so full of lies it bends reality.

I believe in regards to Touhou character's gender identity, the only characters we can say for sure without any room for doubt identifies as feminine are Marisa and Kagerou, as both of them insist on being identified through feminine descriptions.

this site is not twitter 2 its ultimately just a mastodon server but with the worst mods imaginable. we can just all go to mastodon if we all agree which serv-- ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Oh good another platform built up by adult content creators being told that everyone must now split hairs about make-believe characters in illustrations. hold on let's ask the little fictional guys about it 🎤🧍

this shit is a religious belief for certain centrist Dems. you can't argue with them about it. they think the answer is ALWAYS told to the right.

we're not asking for dems to pull miracles and totally defeat the republicans with minority numbers. but we are asking for opposition. we are asking for them to at least slow the GOP down instead of making things very easy for them and voting for a ton of shit they want. not on offer, somehow.

and, yes, this is just the latest example. how is it the voter's fault that the dems they put in office, even in deep blue states, dems that they were told they had to support/vote for, cannot even slow down or throw in some token opposition to shit like this? bsky.app/profile/kait...

Confirmation from Axios. This is unacceptable lack of fight from Senate Democrats. It passed via unanimous consent, and any Senate Democrat could have objected.
