covid messes with your heart. not like other viruses like the flu, where it's general inflammation that does it. covid specifically infects your heart cells and then fucks them up medicalxpress.com/news/2026-03...

A member of a major website's staff openly admitting they don't do any work is a bold choice. Also, given the userbase that props up this site, openly admitting to using the liar robot is ALSO a bold choice. Masters of reading the room.

As a trans person I am, in fact, a single-issue voter! If you, as a candidate, do not wholeheartedly and enthusiastically support trans rights, I will not vote for you! This is my red line.

Dont be afraid of your sexuality. For the love of god do not shame yourself for a fantasy that provided comfort and complete connection to the physical space. Our lives can dull us, but our sexuality can resharpen our focus. You are a freak, and thank god. Better a pervert than a fascist.

If I were a Democrat I would win over young voters by breaking this man upon the wheel like it was the 30 years war.

when i was like 10 years old a teacher recommended having me see a specialist in autism/adhd because she noticed i spent basically every class staring out the window not paying attention. unfortunately that specialist just tested cognitive skills and said "very smart kid, no problems here"

I'll say this only once. If you can't be bothered to write the dialogue for your NPC's, then i can't be bothered to play your game. This is looking at them like they aren't important, and not important to your games world building or hiding fun easter eggs. Fuck this!

Annoying cat traits to give your catgirl OC that aren't just "zoomies" or "pushing things off of shelves" (1/3): 1. If I like something, I will hoard multiple identical copies of it 2. If a person I like is about to sit down, I will quickly and stealthily sit there first to make them sit on me

fuck, I’m sorry, I can’t compete with this

This story, from @natezuke.bsky.social, is absolutely wild. A trans woman who never changed her gender marker was issued a letter invalidating her license. At the DMV they cut up her license, which had an "M" marker. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

We're smokin' that Argentinian himejoshi catgirl shit out of a puma bone pipe at an altitude of 12,600 feet, concurrent with the third Dynasty of Ur, you stupid shit.

I cannot overstate the degree to which if we manage to wrest back control before they blow up the world there will need to be thousands of evangelicals in jail for deradicalization and to stop further incitement

I wasn't kidding about Funny Little Face. (actual smiths, pls don't come for me. I had half an afternoon to look up how this stuff works, roughly.)

The hole in the ozone layer was actually very serious and a global effort allowed it to recover. Y2K WAS actually a serious problem and people worked countless hours to make sure nobody even noticed. Air and water pollution was catastrophic in many places and incredible effort reversed that damage.

You'll note that the 'You need to vote Labour to stop Reform!' guys aren't elated that Reform got trounced. They seem a little gutted, actually?

The Internets are full of Sickos these days ... @theoddkepple.bsky.social

my coworker has a bunch of documents I need on her computer, but the only way she knows how to send documents is to print them out and scan them and her scanner is broken currently trying to explain the concept of a "file" from first principles

The best parodies always come from a place of love in my humble opinion, and I think to really nail something there has to be an appreciation and understanding of what it is you're satirising otherwise it misses the mark, that's how you end up with a Scary Movie.

This bit in the From Russia With Love game made me laugh out loud. You've got a fairly grounded, low key fight based on the one in the movie, then the most video game looking fucker of all time slides into frame.

After 9 yeareals, it's finally my turn to post the "a thousand cereals" clip, seeing as how I'm the idiot who made it.

They paid Matt Gaetz 2 years worth of an Idaho minimum wage worker's income for a few hours speaking at an Idaho resort.

decades of news outlets going 'oh we hired a well off conservative from a high end college who has a lot of opinions on edmund burke, supports a specifically christian flavor of suppression of freedom of expresison, dabbles in race science? put 'em on the pile with the others'. such variety!

The story of the last 25 years is that America, buoyed by the professional media apparatus, has gotten really, really good at completely defusing and ignoring mass protests that in prior eras would have been substantially more impactful

Going off the actual statistics, the protests against the Iraq War were some of the largest in history at that point - and the fact that that figure is memory holed is just another horror. People went out, they made their voices heard...and they were buried, buried, buried

"Defensive strikes" in the country that was attacked first, because of nuclear weapons that don't exist. I know it's a joke at this point but we're basically in 1984 doublespeak right now.

the worst aspects of the finance industry are emergent properties of the stock market being essentially a proxy casino for the rest of the world and it's deeply funny that "prediction markets" and their users, by erasing the middle man, are learning in real time why that fucking sucks so much ass

Oof. I just read your post in the most uncharitable, pedantic way possible, and I gotta tell ya: it's not looking good for you.

Thinking about how the military primarily recruits from military families - and how...weird and culty that feels. Anyway, there's a quote from a marine that comes to mind whenever anyone talks about "operation iraqi freedom"

Blowing things up, kidnapping and killing foreign leaders, is good because it's Doing. Considering the consequences of Doing would be Thinking, which is weak and woke

lol, come on, man. 1. Iraq and Iran are different countries? 2. Dude died because his tank fell into a river!

In 1 month I've had Iranians, Venezuelans, and Cubans in my dms trying to explain to me how it's actually so cool for America to just bomb the country where their family lives and how it would magically fix everything.

This bit of the renpy doc is funny cause it's a generally good philosophical thing to express to a designer, especially in VN... But as a like, general game designer I'm like "well I mean yeah *obviously* I know what they want more than they do, at least statistically :-)"

unbelievable lol

My weirdest creation is almost old enough to drink.

every time someone tells me LLMs are the future of coding i just tell them research shows that coders using LLMs report feeling 20% more productive but are actually 20% less productive

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

I really love being here on this earth. It’s so beautiful and humans are capable of such astonishing things & every culture is fascinating to me & the splendor of our natural world & the diversity of species is like an actual miracle. We must escape the Capitalocene and build something better.

Through all of this horror we're also in the background and almost completely forgotten at this point still holding the president of Venezuela hostage because this is empire with the mask of human rights ripped off Moreover, ICE must be destroyed
