Yep. “Knowing who to be mad at is praxis” is Mariame Kaba’s quote and it is wisdom for these times. (1/2)

Make it stick.

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

I don’t think the incompetence actually is going to be what Kristi Noem is remembered for. It will be the killings, the lawlessness, and the grift, if I had to guess.

evil. it's ok to call evil people evil. in fact it is necessary

I'm so old that I remember when the right thought it was an assault on Murika values when Michelle Obama suggested maybe your kid should have a carrot stick every now and then.

Harper to the judge: "Your driver's license doesn't list your height and weight at birth. It doesn't list where you used to live. It identifies who you are now."

An insane warlord facing death contemplates invading Persia as his last hurrah and has enormous issues with supply lines, treacherous foreign allies, and rising debts. Is it Phillip II or Donald Trump? Take the quiz!

does anyone know this story? the corporate form actually dates to ancient Rome, where the idea - of an organisation being treated in law as a single person - gave rise to the creation of universities and colleges, guilds and political parties

maybe im in a bad mood but i feel that we could all stop complaining about how much drama there is on xiv fanspaces if we didnt feel the need to all discuss the drama all the time over and over again. especially if you arent involved in any way with what happened

damn it’s crazy how the slurs filled the chat all by themselves. couldn’t be helped i’m sure. chats are always devolving of their own accord

Congratulations, WaPo, you did it, you published the worst take

In every Republican presidency of my lifetime there's been a recession and a new war in the Middle East.

Even if it takes years, we have to bring EVERYONE who made this happen to justice. No moving on, no letting this go. Revenge is good enough motivation for me personally, but the nobler and important reason is to ensure that anyone who thinks of doing this again knows they’ll rot in prison for it.

This has nothing to do with the specific content here, but Polymarket adopting the language of news, here with BREAKING, and with Texas election results earlier this week, is BAD. Polymarket is not and will never be a news org or break news. It's a betting app. It's Draft Kings for sociopaths.

Sarah Elisabeth Goode (1855 – April 8, 1905) was an American entrepreneur and inventor. She was one of the first known African American women to receive a United States patent, which she received in 1885 for her folding cabinet bed. #CelebratingWomen

Changing a key on a keyboard to make it trigger genAI, so that it makes it less convenient for progressing through a manuscript is excellent symbolism.

Of *course* she’s right. And, to be honest, I have skin in this game, intellectually and morally: I have been banging the drum in speeches and essays for a very long time against the fictional (ab)use and coopting of real lives, coupled with the excuse that ‘it’s just a movie/tv show/novel!’

SUPPORT INDIE MUSICIANS (like me hehe)

what the fuck are we doing www.wsj.com/business/med...

Losing 95,000 scientists is like the set-up for an alien invasion story.

Ai boosters are misinformation peddlers who have been lying about this since 2023 when they lied and said gpt 4 tricked a Taskrabbit into solving a captcha (it didn’t do this btw). These lies have enriched other liars and killed people and they are responsible

Specificity in a character makes them feel real and grounded, which then makes their emotional arc ALSO feel real and grounded, and thus... relatable. Additionally, it reinforces that so much of what we feel, what we struggle with, find purpose in, is universal.

In February of this year, the UK implemented new regulations that travelers from Canada need to apply for travel authorization for tourism. This leaves me wondering why on Earth we've still got the King as our head of state (plus a governor general)

EA sale failing due to this reason would be the funniest thing in the world

One thing that people lower-down-a-status-hierarchy absolutely do notice is if another person is only friendly to them in a context wherein by being seen to be as such they gain greater access to or kudos with someone higher-up-the-status-hierarchy. They notice this and talk about it.

This new official art is soooooo gorgeous aaaaaaa 😭🥰🙏

something you hear a bit these days -- usually tongue in cheek, but sometimes completely seriously -- is "facts have a left wing bias." when you exalt your worldview over reality, facts that conflict with your worldview must be wrong.

'The government must not weaken copyright law, and should instead strengthen licensing, transparency & enforcement. The government should stop prioritising large multinational tech firms' Training larger language models is not an academic pursuit. Training material should licensed and paid for.

there's an old adage: "when a product appears to be free, you're the product" (usually, this means the product makes its money through advertising) in light of the last few years, we can add an addendum: "if a business is run at a loss, it's another business's operating expense"

If you're doomscrolling, guess what? So far there are 51 kākāpō chicks hatched and thriving this season, the same number of birds as we had in TOTAL in the 90s! Only one chick has died and there are still fertile eggs waiting to hatch!

A song about needs versus expectations. Only one more week after this. We've almost done a song a week for an entire year <3

Some shots of vehicles I designed for Marathon. One ended up in the animated short and the others are in game. Once again, huge thanks to the world art and palette team for taking my work and pushing it 💙

I continue to be gobsmacked at 1) how common this formulation is 2) how antisemitic and generally bigoted it is 3) and how for all the talk of anti-semitism this is never cited as an example even though it’s quite literally the original incarnation.

That is a slap in the face of democracy

Everyone should play Jusant

"The KIDS Act is being used as a smokescreen for everything Big Tech lobbyist want, which is a national surveillance program where they can harvest the personal and private data of every American, with zero actual protections."

Always love a Cards Against Humanity game

We thank @aoc.bsky.social for speaking the truth about age verification in the House E&C hearing today! As she stated plainly, and we agree, age verification is a smoke-screen for censorship. It is NOT about kids safety!

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

Well, here’s the thing about being antiwar as an ethical belief: it means you end up opposing most wars. Almost all of them, in fact. This is quite common in people who have consistent beliefs but looks insane to people who have none, or mostly just believe superior people should make the decisions.

"you need to learn how to use gAI or you'll get left behind!" counterpoint! the absolute fastest way to render yourself unemployable is to build your skillset around a tool that does your thinking for you, that everyone has access to, and that one company can change or take away at any time

I love the people who act like you’re picking on someone when you mildly engage someone who…pitched their story to an international newspaper.

Once again, I'd like to remind people that this is what Josh Barro is raging about: 14-year-old kids playing sports with their friends. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yf9M...

BREAKING: @aoc.bsky.social just came out swinging in the House E&C hearing against dangerous & misguided "age verification" legislation (aka online ID checks) that would force everyone to upload government ID or get a face scan before accessing content or posting online. Video incoming. This is big

feels like a minute since i have pointed out that donald trump has pardoned more child sex offenders than every other president of the united states combined
