well I am watching this silly horror movie called Honeymoon and there was just a scene that makes me want to remove my entire vagina, just in case

"...California Billionaire Tax Act is not even a real ballot proposal yet. The effort has not even collected one single signature...The rich guys’ tantrums are probably doing more to elevate interest in & awareness of the ballot measure & its upcoming signature drive" A whole class of actual idiots

lmao

Yesterday, the man who put a bounty on Boise's mayor showed up at a Boise immigrant's daycare to record himself for Twitter. He found nothing, her papers were in order and the daycare has no record of impropriety, according to post, which got a lot of attention. He plans to target others, he says.

Any discussion of how a few actors are protesting Trump's takeover of the Kennedy Center has to consider how Republicans have tried to slash social spending for the arts — and denigrate the arts and humanities as legitimate fields — since at least Reagan, if not longer.

Across the country, groups like Moms for Liberty have been campaigning to designate sex ed — or books like Push or Beloved that address sexual assault — as "porn," threatening librarians with arrest for allowing them on shelves. That's the energy that's coming for women's health on the internet.

Women's health information is increasingly being censored by anti-adult filters, which tag words like "vagina" as porn. This isn't a new issue, but in an increasingly age-gated internet world, it's about to get a lot worse. www.forbes.com/sites/gerist...

biggest technological revolution of our lifetimes and it's not AI or blockchain or cryptocurrency or metaverse.

If you see items in a black box like this on the Amazon app (presumably similar on desktop), do NOT use Amazon to purchase. Go to the artist's site directly to see what they actually have, buy more easily, and not support this garbage concept that big corps can scrape whatever they want.

As if artists don't have enough to deal with, Amazon has a "Buy For Me" program in beta which is scraping indie shops for their items and putting them up on Amazon (often incorrectly), for their "AI agent" to buy from the other site. It is NOT opt in, and there is no opt out.

One of the best to ever do it

That Blade Runner one, omfg 💀

This is sociopathic shit. These turkeys are like pets to the whole town. They stop traffic on streets & drivers will just sit there and wait as long as it takes for them to cross. I've watched this flock grow from a single turkey to a whole flock over the last 10 years. What a giant piece of shit.

This reads like a fucking caricature of a GOOPy antivaxxer white lady. Shopping in Walnut Creek for athleisure, Anthropologie, and Apple products? I hate it here

When your secret Santa gift can only be opened under water and outdoors 🤣😳

The cease and desist I got from Harmeet’s law firm in January was full of typos. At one point, they mixed up my name and their clients name.

A test with a binary result that can’t distinguish between someone who just snorted street amphetamines and someone who took a prescribed dose of Vyvanse that morning is just disability discrimination wrapped in the thinnest possible layer of pseudoscience.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has stated that the 1918 flu pandemic was caused by a lab virus from vaccine research, a defective influenza vaccine. Let’s analyze what a lie this is. First, in 1918, 107 years ago, virology was in its infancy

This is slavery.

We got rick rolled by Rian Johnson

I'm on a super restrictive diet as an elimination diet (I already have a v restricted diet bc of intolerances & celiac). Somehow it made me conceive of & make nearly *perfect tasting* taco bell 7 layer burritos but s/rice/venison & s/flour tortilla/egg wrap & I really love knowing how to cook

Still unreported, should be investigated: ICE shot Richard outside a mall. I visited mall security office. Guard said ICE and LAPD came in, used thumb drive to copy mall’s video footage, and THEN DELETED THE EVIDENCE from mall’s local drives. He showed me the missing timeline part saying “no data.”

I hate that such a big part of the reason this made me cry is that I cannot imagine living somewhere where anyone, much less strangers, are this kind and accepting and caring. Not just of autism, but of anything. (But as someone raised to mask mine, yeah, the autism specificity hit deep)

I loved this. And I want to note the whole “there were no autistic people before …” discourse has an answer here: just the people were sent away in the incarceration (yes “care homes” like this), and if they fled, they were just abandoned by society, usually to die.

I know it's very difficult to extricate yourself from the Google and/or Apple* ecosystems completely, but every move you make in that direction is worth it. I've been working on it for a month or so now - you don't have to do it all at once *who are doing this same kind of shit in their app store

The top 1% evade $163B in taxes each year Employers steal $50B from workers each year Insurance companies defrauded Medicare for at least $50B Trump joked he’s giving himself a $1B settlement Only caring about fraud when it’s immigrants means it’s not the fraud you care about

It's hella foggy right now and somehow it is more blinding than when it was just straight up sunny yesterday 😭

Tonight i found out, from my favorite transgender ghost huntress Roz Hernandez, that kevin spacey has a brother who is a *limo driver who is also a Rod Stewart impersonator* and his website does not disappoint www.randybfowler.com/Public%20App...

I just saw a grown adult censor Trump's name with asterisks in their own post AND THEN refer to him as "Orange Julius" in the same post and I hate that I have to share both air and whatever server this shit is run on with you gd idiot children

A public database of ice, ice agents, DHS, etc. Has now been built and it's entirely outside of the US and US government reach.

Trads "We need to go back to the days when ppl all wanted kids & women stayed home to raise them like god intended!" Older lady on this pod "Dad had asthma as a kid so his mom sent him to military boarding school in NM bc the climate was better for him. My own mom was on valium my whole childhood"

“Then they shouldn’t have voted for this!” Bitch, Asheville is a blue college town and the county has gone blue for decades. I am so sick of this “if I pretend disasters only happen to red areas, it means I’m safe because I’m properly on the left!” No. You’re not safe. That’s why we save everybody.

Good. fuck all the saying "this is inevitable" or "it's here deal with it" or even "it's fine"/"it's not a big deal". This is a moveable needle. It's ruining lives (mine included already), ruining the environment, ruining art and creativity, is profoundly antihuman, isn't needed and isn't wanted.

My friend just sent this to me and the way the robot continues to mimic his movements led to me responding that it's like "an unreleased blooper reel from the lighthouse scene at the end of Annihilation" and I stand by that lol

With alt text so it can be shared

Kennedy says adding folic acid to tortillas is “waging war” against poor residents. Folic acid has long been added to cereal and bread and the CDC website currently says it’s safe for those with the mutation mentioned in the thread Kennedy is replying to.

Amazingly, reaction times using screens while driving are worse than being drunk or high—no wonder 90 percent of drivers hate using touchscreens in cars. Finally the auto industry is coming to its senses.

This stuff is bad too, but I will never stop complaining about how it turns podcasts that already had their own voices & weren't beholden to a single platform's regulations into a bunch of "tiktok/youtube" speak where they self-censor everything so as not to get demonetized on one specific platform

"villagers say Jabo is not known for terrorist activity and that local Christians coexist peacefully with the Muslim majority."

well project "go on an even more restrictive diet to hopefully figure out my new food issues" has hit a bump in the road after 4 days bc I have been up since 5 am with terrible stomach cramps and barfing and everything tastes gross and makes my stomach hurt

Happy 14th anniversary to this youtube video

Guilty of sneaky neurodivergence, I guess

One of the worst things that we've done as a society is push the idea that all viewpoints are valid and up for debate. This is legit why so many people think those bullshit jubilee debates are a form of education and not just a way to socially manipulate people into being open to fascism.

I'm watching Frankenstein and while Mia Goth may not have "iphone face" she definitely has "iphone teeth" and I, unfortunately, find those really distracting. I cannot wait until the age of giant white veneers is over.

It really cracks me up when people commenting on Canada's Drag Race keep feeling the need to qualify compliments of PM with "I didn't understand the outfit but..." like the beige corseted swimsuit + tan cropped leather hoodie blazer on the queen next her made SO MUCH MORE SENSE
