If your business requires me to download yet another app to use it, odds are pretty good at this point I am not going to use your business. It's like a part-time job at this point. Enough.

Hi. Librarian here. Let me settle this once and for all: audiobooks are reading. Graphic novels are reading. It's all fucking reading. Stop gatekeeping and stfu. Thank you an have a good night.

./configure affirmations: -you have jobcontrol -your fifos are usable -your implementation is ok -your sockets are usable -you are normal

Did you see this??? An entire 50 PERCENT of Democratic voters under 30 want the party to MOVE TO THE LEFT on transgender issues. Comparing with other issues polled, it's second only to healthcare as an issue younger voters want to see the party move left on.

Pablo makes a really important point here -- the people who are the real "threats to capitalism" are the billionaires who are showing everyone that the game is rigged.

If your org still hasn’t figured out things like how to patch without production falling over or getting teams to talk to each other, a higher volume of findings will only make those things worse. Before you worry about Mythos, figure out how you’re going to deal with that

The correct response is to ask respectful and topic-relevant questions, if you have any, AND doing so is appropriate for the venue.

Keming matters!

there's really only two kinds of near future: one in which guys like this are systematically broken on the wheel for the many crimes they have committed, and one where they walk free. only one of these is a viable future

Fuck this demented bigot and fuck everyone who supports or apologizes for him

"May you enjoy the life you deserve." From now on this is my favorite linguistic chameleon.

Trans. Woman. Two words. "trans woman" shows that this is just a kind of woman, like tall, blonde or green-eyed. "Transwoman" has and will be used to say that we are a separate thing from women. Trans women are a kind of woman, pass it on.

Called a local plumber yesterday and got an ai bot. After 2 minutes, I asked for a real person—. Got the bot again. I hung up and called another local plumber

this is what you're supporting if you or a business you run buys packaging from ULINE.

Big let down, to be honest

Anyone can talk to the dead. No big deal. It's the ones that get a reply I worry about.

Do we have the term "astroterfing" yet?

Fuck Uline. Trans people are people. Trans rights are human rights.

Boycott Uline.

Don't lead a story with "There's good news tonight" if it isn't about it happening. That's the only good news I want to hear.

Today I saw a Cybertruck in the HOV lane Why do people lie

Liberals say that Trump has replaced our once-proud democracy with a corrupt, economically stagnant autocracy. They're wrong—Trump has replaced our once-proud republic with a corrupt, economically stagnant autocracy.

We promised"never again" 80 years ago, and we're heading right back into the same goose-stepping nightmare. What are we going to do differently this time to make it stick?

If you see strangers wearing a mask while traveling and it makes you this irrationally angry, maybe worry about your *own* mental health for a sec

the old anarchist quote about how “if voting mattered they’d make it illegal” actually is true! And they are trying!

“We can disagree and still be friends.” Yeah, about whether pineapple belongs on pizza. Not racism and homophobia.

The best way to honor fallen soldiers is to avoid careless reasons to create more of them.

New spaceships are built around a self-aware AI core, able to run all its systems and navigate space. At launch, they are all alike. As they mature, they develop personalities. "I need to visit the docks at the next stop," the ship said. "Is there a problem?" "I'm having cat ears fitted."

Magnifica Humanitas is the name of my new all-professor esoteric jam band.

The invitation to explain things to people who are announcing their intention to not understand the explanation is not as enticing as many seem to think. Who learns? Who gains? One person has nothing of value to say. The other can't say anything that will be heard.

Here's my parenting tip: Stop making laws that hurt LGBTQ+ kids.

IMO most forms of surveillance should be banned and most surveillance technologies should be outlawed. We have conclusively proven that we cannot handle it responsibly.

DeTrumpification is as necessary a project to the US as DeNazification was to Germany. Everything removed from everywhere, including every person in the Trump party from every elected and appointed position of public trust, with all appropriate investigations, charges, and trials.

“You have one remaining wish.” “Summon a hydra in the middle of my enemy’s fortress, but one with so many heads that any new heads will be crushed immediately, creating an ever-expanding mass of hydra heads that will destroy the entire stronghold.” “You mean…?” “Yes. A hydra-djinn bomb.”

In chemistry, a supersaturated solution is one where you've kept adding a solute to a liquid beyond where the liquid can dissolve everything. All it takes is a nucleation site / seed crystal for the solution to rapidly (sometimes violently) crystalize. Unrelatedly, the US has more guns than people.

"We could confiscate 90% of your wealth and you would not experience a material change in your life."

I’m stealing this line for everything. Dear students: “AI is like a lamp post to a drunk person. You can lean on them, but it won’t get you home.”

there’s no liberation without trans liberation. screw every single person who is willing to throw you under the bus to score cheap points with fascists.

Information security in cyberpunk looks so cool and then you get to do it irl and 90% of your effort is keeping an ancient man in accounts payable from wiring $300k to a criminal running a phishing campaign.

Chil Fil A continues to fund the National Christian Organization and sent a preacher to Uganda to help promote a bill that legalized killing gay people just in the last couple of years How are people still defending this garbage ass chicken

tfw you're fine

Facebook Marketplace delivers

The sphinx stirred. "Halt! If you seek to pass, you must solve my riddle, or I will kill you!" The wanderer skulking in the sphinx' shadow froze in place. "Riddless? It wishess to play a game of riddless? We know riddless, we do, my preciouss, we do!"

Abrego Garcia should apply for compensation from the weaponization fund

As a science fiction writer I really fucking resent tech bros for ruining the phrase "artificial intelligence." 80 years of it being all about cool androids and interesting computers destroyed by five years of "Spicy autocorrect making everything shittier for money." NEVER FORGIVE.
