I feel this so strongly. Covid was a test of our moral integrity & decency -- *not just elites, but all of us* -- and we failed. I genuinely think one reason Covid has been memory-holed so hard, & so crusted w/ myths & conspiracy theories, is that on some level we know this & are ashamed.

Hey, I know it's difficult, but try not to say sorry as a reflex. www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9ah...

One example of this is despite the struggle over LGB rights in the CoE... there has been a fully affirming guideline for for trans people in CoE policy: www.churchofengland.org/media/press-...

"Gay men secretly run the tech industry and stop straight men from succeeding" they say about an industry run by a bunch of straight men who have been increasingly normalizing and even celebrating homophobia.

lol. reasons never to use bcachefs or spend 1ms taking it seriously: it's vibe coded. yeah, a vibe coded Linux file system. here's the "blog" of the lead dev's "AI assistant": poc.bcachefs.org/ i now have much more insight into bcachefs getting kicked out of the kernel

You all failed the assignment.

“(ICE favorability is) almost break-even with people who get their news from Twitter. Compare that to other social media platforms like Reddit and TikTok, where over 70% of voters viewed the agency unfavorably.” You are what you (choose to) eat

every stop in the MTA is at a certain Y coordinate. Time is on the X axis. Each line represents one train making its stops on its route over time

NYC subway visualization it’s all of them!

I feel like it might be inappropriate to make a "the softness of the moonlight / the strength of the sun" shirt with ⚧️ instead of ♀️♀️, but I kind of want to make one anyway

honestly wondering if I should cancel my WIRED subscription over that "gay tech mafia" article

It's not going to stop with trans people

Terry A. Davis (TempleOS) had a break from reality and built an operating system to divine gods will through random number generators, and he still made more sense than the majority of tech CEOs huffing that LLM exhaust

I want this but as a Linux distribution. I don't think I'm asking for much here. I am just asking for the "open source community" to be to the left of Goldman Sachs

I am altering my sex. Pray I do not alter it further.

@wildassault.com Yeah no you don't get to just delete that and sweep under the rug.

This 53 year old man who lived in my neighborhood w/no criminal record & who had been in the US for 30 years, was detained and thrown into a cold cell for days, caught pneumonia and COVID there and deported. He finally died. I am so angry. www.kptv.com/2026/02/21/n...

The elephant in the room is that mayors and governors across the country have very good reason to question the loyalty and allegiances of the state and local police forces and that’s one of the impediments to doing anything about the current occupations

Kurt Vonnegut stop being so applicable to all time periods of American life, you can’t do that Kurt Vonnegut, your insights are too evergreen Kurt Vonnegut

seeing people actually installing linux this week after getting sick of big tech's perversion of the computer is unironically giving me hope. we can live in harmony with the computer when we don't let parasites in big tech put their evil sludge in it

Bluntly, the problem isn’t that they’re socialists. It’s that they are socialists who can’t properly seize on the world’s richest man doing a genocide by neglect because technically killing USAID was on their wish list too so all they can do is mumble the international committee can be silly.

me broadcasting random thoughts on social media "haha dink a boopsy" me trying to 1:1 message literally anybody I'm close to: <hour 30> okay so THAT letter should be capitalized, I think I'm sure. But what about the wording of the second sentence -- what are the third-order connotations of "coffee"

This... this is just the therian experience!

it puts the spiro in the mouth or it gets the testosterone again

silly thing with @aislingurmordiah.bsky.social #kidfur #furryart #ageregression #agereg

The absolute refusal to connect American history to American current events is one of the weirdest expressions of modern racism.

Poochie didn’t work out but the spirit expressed here is completely correct and relevant

Held for no reason in a detention center for six weeks — for no reason — and even after signing self-deportation papers. Based on comments from agents and guards, Newton says she was imprisoned so ICE agents could collect incentive bonuses.

am I the only one around here who still believes in cancel culture www.buzzfeed.com/markdistefan...

I linda thought we all knew that because we read about ordinary germans doing this. but I guess the way hollywood depicts nazis is making them appear like they are other instead of your conservative neighbors. no, it’s just your conservative neighbor.

pssst… hey kid… u wanna buy some penis ensmallment pills..?

One of the best things in the Lord of the Rings is at the elf meeting to form the fellowship where everyone agrees Frodo’s mission is the most important thing in the world and Elrond is like “you shall all accompany Frodo until you decide you don’t want to, if it sucks feel free to hit da bricks”

The headline does not convey how completely batshit this story is. The Archive Today (archive.ph etc) admin weaponized the site's captcha to attack a blogger who wrote about them and *altered archived screenshots* as part of the attack. arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

The literal face of fascism

Half of business owners on this Toronto street estimated that more than 25% of their customers arrived by car. In fact, it was 4%. And the % of customers who who walked or cycled? 72%. Retailers routinely overestimate the # of “car customers.” Via @carltonreid.com www.forbes.com/sites/carlto...

I watched my father get rid of an intact baguette by feeding it into the running garbage disposal an inch at a time. It took five minutes and it broke my spirit as a child.

windows pcs are generally for casual users who mostly use it for web browsing and maybe a little gaming. linux is nearly identical except there's no keyboard. macs are for hardcore experts and professionals who take on the toughest tasks, such as drawing three-dimensional rectangles and squares

When suburban friends visit their city friends and they discuss how they're going out to dinner.

Surprisingly exhausting to have to be ready to respond to one of two different names, depending on how much any given medical staff cares about the "preferred name" field on my file Two different wakeup words smh

as a Christian I can't even begin to wrap my head around what severe blasphemy and bald-faced rejection of Christ's sacrifice this is

Ava Cordero was a trans woman who tried to whistle blow the who pedophile island and was mocked, derided, and harassed by the same media apparatus that now defends/works for Epstein affiliates. And every anti-trans "journalist" is less than or equal to 1 degree of separation from pedophiles.

courts decide lots of unscientific horseshit because the judiciary is the realm of debate perverts where the chief debate pervert gets to decide what is science based on whichever asshole in front of him makes the cuter argument he happens to agree with bsky.app/profile/mich...

I honestly think one reason Millennials are so angry about all this is that many of us grew up during the brief period in American history where the official line was that we had won history *because* of our values, and most of us actually internalized that.

Are you lost hun?
