here’s hoping 2026 is just one year

Dianna Ross is an American icon and legend that everyone needs to listen to at least once in their life. The same goes for Donna Summer

Boys: Who’s that? Me: Diana Ross. Boys: Who is she? Me: Man, even I’m not old enough to tell you.

Lemon pig.

i read this and i just see a lazy person with a skill issue

4am thought. Time travel never has any spatial lock. So if you could go back, there’s no way you’d appear in the intended place, i.e. you might appear buried, or under the sea or in the air, or more likely in space because the earth is not in the same place as right now.

Today is the last day that you can repost this image

Out of curiosity, I just ran a few paragraphs from The Butchering Art through an AI checker and it got flagged: 88% AI. This book was released in 2017, and AI machines were subsequently trained off it. How many writers are getting flagged for AI because of the literal theft of their work(s)? Insane.

The left says that oligarchs have bought our democracy. They're wrong—oligarchs have bought our republic.

fuck I can't believe I totally neglected to make a lemon piglet, I have one more day to do it, omg

If you leave a Waymo’s door partially open the company has to pay a human $20 to come close it, please use this information responsibly.

I correctly guessed the subject of the thread from this alone. Also, it's my opinion that the subject resembles a donkey.

One of the things that's wild about MAHA on social media is they're also vilifying Pedialyte and Ensure. So not only do they want you to not do anything that can stop you from getting sick (masking, vaccinating) they also don't want you to effectively treat yourself once you are sick.

Feel like in more functional countries if a bunch of random dudes turned up to a daycare and demanded to see the children they would be immediately escorted to prison

what happens when a microscope crashes into a telescope? they kaleidescope

At midnight today, it will have been 2016 for the past decade.

A friend of some asshole I made a harassment complaint against said I should be a politician.

I wish I could be as magnanimous as you. 🫶🏼. To me, it’s just another example of the rich and famous and beautiful skating off to a wonderful life elsewhere while the rest of us suffer consequences of Trump and the USA.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but opposing GenAI is not about opposing technology, it's about opposing capitalists. GenAI is not a technology: it's a massive automation of theft, masquerading as an industry, run by grifters. Don't hate computers, hate the capitalists behind the curtain.

for anybody who, like me, maybe didn't recognize the name, I saw from the comments on this she wasn't just *a* reporter on epstein so much as *the* reporter in the sense she's the reason most people in the US heard anything about it beyond smaller dead ends before her work. from her wikipedia page 👇🏼

With news today that the post office has stopped post-marking mail on the day it is dropped in the mail box, I humbly suggest that in states that don't offer ballot return drop boxes Democrats would do well rediscovering voting in-person early

realistically I’d probably be fine in any city with a public university and population over 65,000

Again, and with emphasis: it is not the purported advent of superintelligence that threatens the human race; it is the exponential proliferation of superstupidity.

This is one of my favorite paintings, from any painter, ever. Not only is she crushing Mein Kampf, but the arc of her rivet gun's cable also evokes a serpent being crushed under her heel - even while the rivet gun herself is laid on her apron like Christ on the lap of the Virgin Mary.

I have to admit, I also always had kinda the wrong idea about Norman Rockwell until I saw the piece "Murder in Mississippi" as a teen in art history class

Daily bunny no.3184 has cats the way most people have mice

I’m facilitating the rehoming of two sweet cats who belonged to a friend who recently passed unexpectedly. They deserve a stable place to land. 2-3 year old bonded pair, one male one female. Please send me a DM if you have the interest and ability to care for these sweet voids. Located in Oakland.

It seems that Dan Kaminsky's old site (dankaminsky dot com) has been picked up by webspammers

I hate that instead of celebrating this, I'm deeply suspicious. But maybe this is good? Let's watch and see.

Go out in public??? With *this* flu strain...in *this* economy???

Well, that's screwed up. And, at the risk of sounding like a conspiracy delusionist... I can't help but wonder if it's specifically aimed at screwing with mail-in votes.

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up. I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

A few years ago, through luck and vibes, I managed to produce this blue colored bean variety. This was an early step in trying to answer the question, [paraphrased] "Why isn't blue as common as red in beans, even though they're both anthocyanins and the plant has the genes for both?"

An exceptionally stupid and contingent set of circumstances made Stephen Miller the most influential ideologue in the US. There is no future for the left or liberalism that does not take as a core mission ensuring he is punished for his crimes & no one as hateful as him is ever close to power again.

I think we need to wipe out describing watching films, reading books, listening to music etc as "consuming content" before any kind of healing can begin

As someone who often conducts fieldwork in remote places, I find it really irritating that many basic applications now require an internet connection to function.

Its fashionable to say rich people have never faced consequences, and they've always had privilege, they did used to face more consequence! Big finance guys went to jail in the 1980s S&L and junk bond scandals. Sadly, was as much Clinton and Obama as Rs who backed off of that

Oh. Looks like people are (once again) figuring out that silicon valley and effective altruism and longtermism and the rest are all bound up root to ass with eugenics & white supremacy. Welcome to the party, there are a LOT of academic, researchers, & people w/ direct lived experience already here.

As Dave gets at, Dems content to operate in an info environment dominated by the right surrender the initiative to their political foes. The right can propagate damaging narratives at will — as Dems wait in vain for a chance to “get the facts out” so they can “let the voters decide.”

Yes, the archive is down again. Yes, it's a power outage from PG&E. Yes, there's been something like 4-5 in the last few weeks. PG&E has a monopoly. We are waiting for the power to return.

3am now but I recorded this earlier tonight, around 9pm est. Snow through the flashlight beam in CT. So peaceful. It was so heavy that you could hear it falling.

WEAR YOUR FAVORITE SHINY THING.

The only thing ChatGPT ever does.

Truly and sincerely: Go back to where you came from.

The entire Disney universe is just a gaslighting of Goofy. Your best friend buys someone who looks just like you and has them run around naked in the backyard? And you just continue on at the function like everything is okay?

being a rich tech guy in the 90s must have been so sick. every morning you start a web page that sells ring tones, sell it at lunch for 2 million dollars, get dinner at a “sushi” restaurant and go to a night club wearing a cologne called Apartheid Sapphire

one of the major problems with our political system is that in liberal world u need four Harvard degrees to even so much as touch a campaign trail meanwhile in right wing world it basically takes less than nothing for a simple lumpen-grifter to ascend to chud Valhalla

when we got married we asked my cousin about their four year old being 'flower dude' and they said "oh sure what fun we'll have to talk him into taking off his astronaut costume for once" and we said "the hell you will" which is how we came to have an adorable flower-naut leading us down the aisle
