My wife, coming out of nowhere with full cleaning mask + bandana on: "ok I'm just gonna say it, I think it's been long enough: I'm a cottage cheese apologist" Marrying the weird girl rules, your days are never boring.

I've kinda stepped back from FaB since I've discovered a newfound passion for WoW, and starting to phase back into it during a spoiler season has made me feel like I should consider just selling out entirely. Like what do you mean wizards get a 2 for 5 arcane + draw?

I'm going to be honest, if I ever felt so pathetic that I told an AI to make a movie with Marilyn Monroe falling in love with me, I'd ask everyone who loved me to take pity and just shoot me

I understand why people do this, but I have to be honest, the general aversion to ever engaging in polling or political activation calls is a real problem. It's why everything in politics is lined up along the lines of boomer ideology, because old people will take those calls and then go vote.

I just spent half an hour reading about this thing. As stupid and insane as you think it is, it's more.

Not looking at Claude's code is insanely irresponsible. I use Claude Code every day now, mostly with an effectively-limitless Enterprise account, at the highest depth and effort settings. There is not a single project where the code it produced hasn't caused bugs or acted in unexpected ways.

Took two tries this morning, but I finally broke 3k and got Keystone Legend!

The congressional switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. Put it in your cell phone. Use it. If you're not calling at least once a week, you're not doing your part.

My wife and I agreed to get matching tattoos of the Curiosity Rover. She doesn't care about space, she just loved the one time I was talking about it and started crying because of how beautiful it was and how it was meaningful as a child of our whole species.

Draft me bitch, I dare you. I'll show you where the term fragging came from.

One thing that I think is lost when people read Dune is how space travel worked before spice was discovered. People moved in massive colony ships at relativistic speeds, meaning a population would migrate to a new world over hundreds of years. That's why cultures in Dune are so varied.

Having the first normal evening to relax after a hellish work week, and then immediately losing three keys to back to back terrorists is a massive low roll.

I love my city, and it's public transit is some of the best in the country. I'm grateful we didn't accept the hyper loop grift.

I've got a hot take on this one: mandatory service is a good thing, because it would utterly crush the cult-like veneration of the military that has had America in a chokehold since the 2000s. Look at countries with mandatory military service, and recognize how little they bow to their militaries.

This is a very funny thread to read, given that a large portion of the Serbian diaspora (outside of Chicagoland) is vastly more left wing than the current Serbian government.

All I wanted to do today was try and get my mythic rating up to 2000, and get my vault maxed out. Instead I am having to rewrite core complex systems for work and I kinda wanna jump out a window

I say this as a person who writes exclusively in cursive because I'm too lazy to lift my pen

For some reason bsky has started recommending posts in Russian, which I've taken to mean it's time to retry learning it, but it also just produces very fun posts like this on occasion

Just heard Astalor referred to as "Azeroth Epstein"

🚨🚨 Illinois lawmakers have rescheduled hearings on these ill-conceived OS-level age verification laws for THIS Thursday and Friday! Info on how to file new witness slips and more below!

The TSA is and always has been a security theater veneer on a jobs program for the dumbest and most useless high school dropouts in the country. I pray for its abolition every time I am unfortunately reminded of its existence.

We need Illinois folks to RE-FILE WITNESS SLIPS opposing this awful legislation. IF YOU ALREADY FILED, PLEASE DO SO AGAIN. Links to filing witness slips within this Reddit post. www.reddit.com/r/privacy/co...

Thank you IL-09!

tfw That Engineer sends you a full page of Claude plans like "hey I had the bullshit generator make up a whole plan on how to fix your problem, trust but verify yourself"

gandalf walking out of a cafe in 2026, grumbling: pronouns…. how low falls the kingdom of man spying a she/they with a figure unknown to peter jackson’s casting director: in our darkest hour, hope is kindled

Some days you want to just put your face through your monitor

For all the distaste I've had about her campaigns last two weeks, I genuinely hope @katmabu.bsky.social stays in our district and involves herself with politics more. This is one of the most progressive parts of the country, and I think she has genuinely transformative talent as a communicator.

The amount of bad-faith bullshit from out-of-district commentators talking about how Kat's loss was because Mike Simmons and Bushra Amiwala didn't step aside for her is just reinvigorating me to do more for the next election cycle.

I don't know why I thought that I'd stop seeing awful IL-09 takes from outside the district the second the winner was called. my bad

Friends, please go fill out this form! There's history showing that "protect the children" Internet legislation is just a lie to take away your rights and privacy online, and there are principles arguments why this is bad, but bottom line: do it because that freak Mark Zuckerberg wants this to pass

Election day! Michael and I voted this morning. Make sure you do the same!

Vote for Mike Simmons. We gotta try for him. He’s the best candidate in the race

In 48BC, Caesar wept at the tomb of Alexander, for he had failed to live up to the example of the greatest conqueror in the Roman imagination. Napoleon obsessively studied the campaigns of Turenne, Frederick the Great, and Eugene of Savoy. Mark imagines himself a great man but doesn't know them.

Uhhh holy crap y’all someone is trying to backdoor get age verification for computers though the ILGA. This is a bad bill. It cannot be allowed to pass. www.reddit.com/r/illinois/s...

I live in a parody of the real world, where a twitch streamer's editor from some other state is chastising me, an #IL-09 resident who volunteers for a local politician, because I'm not supporting his candidate. I am so ready for this election to be over, at this point anyone but Fine or Kat works

The best part of all the dogshit national commentary on #IL-09 is that it's introduced me to a lot of cool local people who are similarly frustrated with out-of-district Internet micro celebrities having opinions about what people who actually live here should do.

My hatred is for a fascist government that commits daily genocide on a population it imprisons, while simultaneously crying about anyone on the Internet who cares point that out. I hold no hatred for Jews or Judaism, but when the crybully bots have no basis to argue, they can only accuse.

I often show up to ballots with many candidates unprepared, so I appreciate progressive values Illinois giving me three names to put in my "not this person" category.

Did you read the first sentence of the article you posted?

Good, may every day be a torment

I try not to be the megamind "everything a conspiracy" guy constantly but this news being unsourced, coming out at the 11th hour, and conveniently coming from a person who worked with Kat's boyfriend for half a decade, just *feels* far too coincidental.

@IL-9th District Dem voters: State Sen. Mike Simmons is the progressive we need in Congress. Supports #Medicare4All, #GreenNewDeal, #reprorights, #protectingtranskids. He is a proven legislator and represents our diverse community. He is rooted here. Vote Simmons for real change.

Something that I noticed is that I've gotten the most campaign fliers from Lauren Fine's campaign, and the second most were just attack ads about Biss. Coincidentally, there was a significant overlap in visual assets (fonts, color schemes, etc) between the two, and similar vaguely-named publishers.

As someone with shit eyes, this was actually kinda fun and challenging to do!

Posted a comment, I suggest y'all do the same. Frankly, banks deserve a kick to the teeth for this. Your existence is profiting from borrowing my money, you don't get a say in what I spend it on. Fuck your morals, if you want to make feel-good decisions all day, find a new job.

If you’re ready to tax billionaires, fight for universal healthcare, and build housing for all, then vote for Mike Simmons for Congress in IL-09! Re-share if you agree and you’re ready to WIN!

happy international women's day to all my trans sisters who have to fight this stupid ass country to prove they are who they say. today is for you too 🥂

If you've "studied WW2 for years" and don't recognize the skull that every single SS officer wore on their caps, I'm afraid you're either stupid, illiterate, or a lying piece of shit.

WoW Midnight rocks so fuckin hard, there's a quest chain that just culminates in "you get to pet an ethereal unicorn"
