It just occurred to me that if I'm going to go back to school, I need to make sure I know where the college stands on: - DEI - freedom of political expression - AI use by students

so all you have to do to get away with Disney copyright infringement is chew through gigawatts of power for no good reason

As a centrist, I think Donald Trump is bad, but the political and economic conditions that enabled him to become president twice are good

Timeline for escape from tech work is looking to be just about 2 years from now and, god, that feels so long.

Looking forward to literally everyone getting angry at Trump for shitting the bed on the World Cup as a tourism opportunity.

Palestinians call on everyone to sign the Boycott Xbox pledge today. Viable gaming alternatives exist. Genocide is not a game. Go to nogamesforgenocide.com to sign the pledge and for more details on how to take action.

BREAKING: Judge Xinis orders ICE’s release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia “immediately.”

Rep. Don Beyer (D-Va.): "It's purely performative ... it makes someone in your base happy, but we need to do real work." WHAT REAL WORK? GOP reps aren't breaking rank on anything of substance, so performative measures are all you've got!

All other punctuation is cowardice—who needs to take a conceptual break during a sentence—not me—but the em-dash keeps the chain going—the triumph of continuation—a sentence able to end so divorced from its origin that everyone forgot where it began—and yet unendingly it can continue onwards

While obviously I, too, think the rich have too much power, and I'm inclined to believe this is a strong majority opinion, this does strike me as a question with a potential framing issue. "Do high-income individuals have too much political power?" would get meaningfully different results, I bet.

This makes sense because Ireland is well-known for its craic www.bbc.com/news/article...

"Let's give more unchecked power to our wonderful king" *king dies, shitty son accedes to the throne* "Oh no"

The strangest thing to me about the Dearborn schadenfreude is that these people seem to be pretending that the votes out of Dearborn were unanimous, and it's not like non-citizens voted at all. "You got what's coming to you" is disgusting either way, but it doesn't even make sense on its own terms.

Couldn’t Sam Altman just ask ChatGPT how to make itself profitable

This could be fine. I don't understand what people are flipping out about. Even if it sucks ass, it's not like that'll kill the franchise. There will still be space exploration series, they will never stop making those no matter what other ideas they have.

Tomorrow is when late fees start applying and I still need $325. Please help out with however much or little you can afford. Thank you so much. #TransCrowdFund #DisabilityCrowdFund

Someone close to me with MCAS is allergic to corn, soy, and oats. Go to your pantry and try to find literally one prepared item with no derivative of any of those.

It only occurred to me just now that I have very rarely had occasion do this in companies that are centered on Slack rather than email

Me, starting to read this: "Oh no, what am I in for?" Me, by the end: "Hell fucking yes I want all of this, lay it on me."

I don't trust people who define psychology as "the science of human behavior"

it's hard but I also feel that in many cases the solution lies in making the "accomodation" no longer an "accomodation" and just something available to everyone, or entirely obviated by the system *especially* in education where most of these things are about bad proxies anyway

Now two days overdue. Please help if you can.

"that's not a real word" If you understood what it meant, then yes it is.

Anyone who works 110 hours a week is doing far, far less work than someone who works a fraction of those hours. Even if this weren't a lie, it would be damning, not admirable.

Fellow of the Ethics and Public Policy Center think tank "did not consult disability policy experts, [but] he doesn’t see that as part of his job. His role is to start new conversations and think of new ideas to support families, he said."

ABC Producer: Did you get the courtroom shot of Mangione? Photog: Sure boss, real fuckin' sexy like you wanted Producer: Wut

My friend's rent is due *today*, and it's in the home stretch to get it paid. Please help if you can.

I named my fists Dunning and Kruger because they're about to prove you're not as tough as you think you are.

i named my fists Seasonal and Depression because they're about to take you out of commission for the duration of the winter

I named my fists Evaporator and Condenser because they're about to knock you cold.

It's the last day of the month and it would really help to get the remaining $1,065 together before our rent is late so I don't need to worry about rent while getting food and going to the store to get medication. Thank you for any help. #TransCrowdFund #DisabilityCrowdFund

me: i say i like sucking dick, but is that simply conceptualizing the ideal dick sucking experience, and not the common reality of the jaw getting tired cuz the person can't cum from oral alone plato: is this going anywhere diogenes: quit interrupting him. continue

The other day I proactively blocked someone without interacting with them at all, after they crossed my feed. It appears they've used clearsky or similar to detect that block and then reciprocate, which is kind of hilarious behavior.

The Fairies are one of my dearest friends, and I would be personally grateful to anyone who can chip in to save it from homelessness.

Things have been rough with the bad economy, inflation, and sickness leaving my whole household out of money. Our savings and income have dried up. I've started donating blood plasma to make up some of the difference, but it isn't enough. #TransCrowdFund #DisabilityCrowdFund

We have literally no idea what they discussed, only that Trump found him very charming. What the hell are people talking about when they complain about him "working with" Trump?

Abigail Flatass England and Wales, Census, 1881

It's been two days since my last donation and I still need another $2,390. I've been doing really bad physically and stress from money certainly hasn't been helping. Please, please, please help out so I can stop having to worry about this. Thank you. #TransCrowdFund #DisabilityCrowdFund

JD Vance Cries In Bathroom After Trump Uses ‘Piggy’ Nickname On Someone Else https://theonion.com/jd-vance-cries-in-bathroom-after-trump-uses-piggy-nickname-on-someone-else/

What's your favorite heresy?

Trying to fulfill the preconditions for the Rapture is such a bizarre theology. The basic thrust of Revelation is "when the world needs him most, Jesus will return". You're not supposed to *create* that need!
