You have turned Martin Luther King Jr into a cartoon figure who gave exactly One Speech that ended racism forever, and you think you can replicate that feat. But that feat never happened. He did a lot, and most of it wasn't the speech. It was the work.

seems? it's consistent and verifiable

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it. Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

LITERALLY HOURS. THEY COULD HAVE WAITED HOURS.

call me a doomposter but the explicit purpose of dem leadership time and time again is to waste momentum i'm pointing out a repeatedly demonstrated fact the next "no kings" protest needs to be somewhere actually productive like in front of every senator and congressman's house

Expel the yes votes from the party and cut off all their access to fundraising, then remove Schumer from leadership. Anything less is mealy-mouthed coward bullshit.

english isn't my mother language

Please buy an advent calendar! This is our 3rd year. Ours arrived yesterday; my husband came & handed the envelope to me. “What’s in it? WAIT, IS IT THIS YEAR’S ANIMAL FACTS ADVENT CALENDAR?!” I slowly pulled it out of the envelope, facing it towards him. His face lit up as he shouted, “EEL FACTS!!”

This meme implies astronauts are constantly shooting each other in space to cover up a horrific secret. In fact that has only happened 4 times in NASA’s entire history

I wish Del Toro’s Frankenstein was a more comprehensive look at the monster’s life. They never cover when he met Abbott and Costello, for example.

my favorite thing is when a giant laser goes by so fast it's instantaneous and there's a satisfying delay between the thing getting hit, the thing getting hit exploding, and the bang sound of the thing getting hit exploding sound design tip: the coolest thing ever is a delay before a sudden bang

When I asked a while back what multi-port hdmi splitter to buy, and everyone suggested tesmart - you were all correct. I've had mine for a year and it 100% still works, auto-swaps inputs, responds to physical button presses, the whole nine. a product that does what it says is a miracle in 2025.

Rosalind Franklin died at 37 of ovarian cancer attributed to radiation exposure from the methods she & her assistant used to photograph a cross-section of the DNA double helix. Meanwhile, Watson won a Nobel off that work & survived to the ripe old age of 97 by simply: stealing those notes!

For those idles, we played part of a song for the performer once and told them: You don't have to remember it well. You don't have to be good, in fact it's better if you're not. Think "singing in the shower."

Retopology is probably not the proper starting place for learning Blender but here I am. Does anyone have a tutorial they'd recommend?

"what if there was a hot genie and she had to live with me" "what if there was a hot robot and she had to live with me" "what if there was a hot witch and she had to live with me" "what if my mom was reincarnated as a car" you guys would've loved Tenchi Muyo

stop telling your neurodivergent child that in "the real world" people won't accommodate them, so they should suck it up. this is the real world and you shouldn't be your child's first bully

we have seen repeatedly that the most powerful force among congressional dems is "don't interrupt my vacation plans" so - yeah bsky.app/profile/tara...

A jury's power to acquit (not necessarily to convict) is the most unchecked power that exists in our whole system of government. No judge can overturn it. No prosecutor or president can challenge it. Nobody can punish them for it. They don't have to explain why. End of story, case over.

good morning fish fuckers

This is what they took from you

I think we need to stop calling it empathy and go back to calling it decency. It isn't a favour you're doing someone else, it's you proving that you aren't a fucking ghoul

VTuber says she can’t even watch her own Twitch streams due to UK law “I shouldn’t have to VPN my own content […] they know I’m of age as you have to send info when you onboard as a partner, even as an affiliate so none of this makes sense.”

The Online Safety Act is an absolute mess, it was pushed through with all criticism drowned out from the get go with the rhetorical device "We are doing this to protect children" - it has been an absolute shitshow with so many platforms treated as an afterthought.

Steam's "Playable Without Timed Inputs" Tag Needs A New Developer Description - Access-Ability A discrepency between tag name and developer description is causing an accessibility tag to be misapplied. Text: access-ability.uk/2025/11/07/s... Video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aqd...

The only people gung ho about AI are AI companies, Republicans, and the tech press. Should tell you all you need to know about how worthless it is. The reason you think AI is popular or inevitable is because the press says so. It isn't true. They made a bad bet and are trying to force you to eat it

Few know this but the "bell" in Taco Bell is actually short for "bellum" (Latin: "war")

This reminds me of an uncomfortable thought I’ve had often recently. As we reflect on Trump’s mission to persecute undocumented people, I suspect a lot of folks who haven’t thought on it will have to accept that much of modern American prosperity was built on modern forms of indentured servitude.

If you think getting an award is prestigious when the show requires you to pay thousands for the award, you are marketing, not receiving an award

well you see, video games made noises and had pictures that parents didn't understand and therefore were uncomfortable with, where ChatGPT merely becomes a person's only confidant and coaches them to suicide cult leader-style in TEXT, which makes it basically studying

stripe needs to mind its own fucking business

it's time to dump the geoffsphere. he will inevitably throw you under the bus whenever convenient. we deserve a better awards show than this.

It’s true that Square Enix loves going all in on the stupidest bubble shit imaginable and then never bringing it up when it crashes but it’s also worth pointing out how uniquely bad and late they are at investing in scams.

According to a person familiar with jury lunches

we’re going to live in a world where this is true, and a country where it isn’t

The Sega Saturn had everything. It even had a game for people who like old ladies a bit too much
