if we lived in a world where capitalists saw the same loss of status and power relative to the loss kings had over the 19th and 20th century that would be an extraordinary accomplishment

honestly nothing baffles and pisses me off me so much as "futurists" who have conniptions over trans people. like come on. the SLIGHTEST BIT of actual imagination! for once!

So…what was Frank-N-Furter *supposed* to have been doing on Earth, if not, you know, whatever it was he was doing?

kind of fucked up that the title Boss Baby was taken by some cartoon, instead of a time travel horror film about a man going back in time to kill his boss as a baby, only to fall in love with his boss's mother, accidentally becoming his own boss's biological father, huh

It’s funny to me that GPUs, increasingly the engine of the modern world, are only anywhere near as advanced and prolific as they are thanks to video games

Writer for the American owned National Post warns the world not to be like Canada. He also tells us Conservatives are doing better than ever. Everyone has a right to their opinion. My opinion is never buy a car from this guy.

50 ICE agents swarming a public library to arrest one person. This isn’t policing — it’s authoritarian spectacle. Armed intimidation, fear as policy, and taxpayer money burned to terrorize communities. This is fascism in plain sight. #TrumpWatch #Resist

Since the taxi medallion freaks are still out in force: "the state will hurt you if you try to compete with me without holding one of a fixed number of tokens, none of which have been issued in eighty years" is a racket, not a business model. Just admit what you are and join the mafia.

In short, we get an 𝙚𝙭𝙥𝙤𝙣𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙖𝙡 𝙞𝙢𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩 in (inverse) noise rate and growth, making them proportional to only 𝙡𝙤𝙜 𝙥. This yields runtimes only 𝙦𝙪𝙖𝙨𝙞-𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙖𝙧 in 𝘭𝘰𝘨 𝘱, versus at least quadratic for many prior schemes. See the paper for many more details and comparisons! eprint.iacr.org/2025/2321

i am told it is uncouth to mention the crypto wars when doing policy advocacy because frequently it's literally the same senators from the crypto wars

less than two weeks ago marjorie taylor greene introduced and successfully passed a bill that will get trans kids killed. she did it right before christmas to maximise the cruelty.

The fun doesn't stop, Moldybug had to top it off with the stupidest follow up of 2025:

Bribery & treason are *the* two constitutionally enumerated “high crimes and misdemeanors” for impeaching & removing the President etc.

A lot of people are trying to justify their own desire to surrender to Trump early in the year

Some writers are tired of the presence of anyone who stands for anything making it obvious that they don't

This one. This is the piece I hope I'm remembered for. www.jezebel.com/when-surgeon...

I am always saying this. Besides, as a former furry (well, still kinda one just existing on the periphery due to all these problems you speak of. I didn't quit: they fired me) I like the fandom. I don't want it to end up like the Harry Potter, Star Wars, or MLP fandoms.

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.

it's genuinely fascinating to me that "you cannot facilitate a genocide against a people and still expect their vote" is too advanced for some analysts to understand.

The New York Times are trying to rehab Marjorie Taylor Greene and they'll look past her still being one of the most anti trans people in Congress while highlighting her statement about wanting "to be more like Christ."

A list of two hundred things so far and none of it features what has been done to trans people this year.

The woman who just sponsored legislation seeking federal prison sentences for parents who support their trans kids is not, in point of fact, abandoning the authoritarian project

OpenAI has been openly chasing regulatory capture for years; even back in 2023 Altman was going around talking about requiring licensing if you use too many FLOPS to calculate something - absolute fucking sicko shit

they lease them, they timeshare them, they chop them into quarters and eighths because no one can afford a whole one anymore - the rage here is that actual competition dropped the price back down to only a few hundred grand a pop

I'm visiting family for the rest of the day so you'll have to moral panic without a scapegoat for a bit.

"Paper never tells people to do anything" none of you have ever signed a contract, followed a recipe, or played a game book have you.

Nobody attributes greater agency to AI than its haters lolyikes.

The creator of NFTs lying about me to launch an anti-AI dogpile against me is an honour I'm not sure I deserve.

This unimpeachable argument provides us with a solution to the token of evil llms: install llms in screwdrivers! Since a screwdriver cannot encourage you to kill yourself, this will neutralize the evil of the llm. Everybody wins!

Eugenicists for llm censorship wasn't on my list of things for 2025.

@blackapostate.blacksky.app feel obligated to give a response with any substance.

Wow you think matrix math isn't?

Suicide notes, blackmail letters, confessions, death threats, instructions on ending one's life, diaries in which people ideate, and religious texts or novels that some people find preferable to real life are all written on paper. "Things people use", no: "things people use in ending their life".

@blackapostate.blacksky.app feel free to point out the error in the analogy.

This is the way. Nobody is born knowing everything, and everybody makes mistakes. It's the acknowledgement & willingness to be changed by new information that should matter, not human fallibility.

I'm getting the *best* responses on this.

fanfic like the Camarilla and Anarch books. Give us supplements, city books, clanbooks, reasons for things that make more sense than ‘well just because’ like with why the Tzimisce are allowed everywhere now? Everyone in the Cam is just going to shrug their shoulders and be like

on that? Nope. Did the Gehenna War supplement (despite the claim on the back of the book) give us any specifics on where it is occurring and what’s happening? Again, nope. Gamers buy rulebooks for rules. Writers for v5 need to start writing things. Not just another collection of

This whole thread sums up a lot of what is wrong with v5. Don’t get me wrong I’m one of the larger proponents of v5, but the Camarilla and Anarch books are atrocious compared to the guides that came out in 2nd and Revised. Sometimes you have to show players how to play things. #vtm #ttrpg #rpg

As of 12/24/25, USPS changed policy on when they postmark mail. Mail dropped off is no longer guaranteed a same-day postmark. Tax returns & other time-sensitive items are now stamped when they reach a regional processing center, which may be days later. Plan deadlines accordingly to avoid penalties.

We should also look into the many harmful uses of paper. And the incorrect uses of screwdrivers.

Several of the largest protest marches in the UK were trans rights marches in the the past few years. You probably wouldn't know this because the BBC coverage of them has been next to non-existent. Meanwhile they will gladly headline a single transphobe staging a one-person protest.

Less than three days left on this amazing deal! You should join the over 300 people who'd already bought this bundle and saved ~90% on excellent trans content!

Because it excluded evidence, and used an impossible criterion for the evidence it did include. The study should indeed be halted, but in favour of returning to the well-supported best practice of giving blockers to trans kids who want them. Not for the reasons every transphobe has suddenly adopted.

The right realised a long time ago that if they keep screeching about being persecuted and unheard it gives centrist wanks who basically agree with them an excuse to give them everything they want.
