So uhm... the US can just starve a country to death and nobody can do anything about it?

tfw you gotta cut quotes from a Tel Aviv-based professor's essay on fascism from your script because they turn out to be a raging Zionist who denies the genocide in Gaza, claims October 7th was solely prompted by innate antisemitism, and makes fun of people online for "caring" about Palestinians...

incredible and shameful there isn’t international condemnation of the united states for collective punishment of 10 million people

Call me quaint but I prefer my socials nazi-free.

I always find "immigration" as a political issue that needs solving rather than an inherent economic benefit to be a right-wing framing. If you ask your average gammon "you want more foreigners?", of course they'll go "why would I want that?" Ask if they want to brain drain the colonies, they're in.

they can pay me a few million to tell them it can’t

Heute feiert »Funkenflug (Der letzte Schlüssel 2)« Release! Es wird nie so bekannt werden wie sein Vorgänger (der noch immer auf der Phantastik-Bestenliste chillt und mich jeden Tag *enorm* stolz macht), aber das ändert nichts daran, dass ich Funkenflug sehr liebe. (1/3) #schreibsky #buchbubble

Ich kann euch Teil 1 „Seelengrube“ ans Herz legen. Wie schön, dass es jetzt einen 2. Teil gibt und die Geschichte weiter geht.🥰 Ich lese es ganz bestimmt, sobald ich Zeit dafür finde. 📚📚📚

If your device needs me to yank this hellish contraption 30 times before it randomly decides I did it at just the right speed with just enough force to turn on, I'd rather cut the grass, drill the hole or till the soil by hand.

"women AND trans people" lost me there

The tech bros' push for AI is predicated on a failure to understand the human desire to create, precisely because they themselves gave up on creating anything of value ages ago.

on this day in 1862 mexican general Ignacio Zaragoza's forces successfully destroyed a french ship carrying vital supplies of egg yolks and oil. unable to stand dry, flavorless sandwiches, the french retreated and the war was won. that is why today we know it as the Sinko de Mayo

Okay, @bsky.app , your "search posts" feature sucks donkey balls. Here's a post of mine I wanted to check. Searching for "savewot" or "wheel of time", or "wheel" or "time" did not yield any results. This pedantry is a problem I'd expect from a web 1.0 forum.

*AngryJoe voice* Where the hell are you going, Sony? It's like you're wandering off into the fucking forest!

So to negotiate with Iran again, Trump sent the exact same two doofuses who last time round were deemed literally too stupid to understand Iran's offer. I mean, at this point, if I was Iran, I'd not even go. What's the freakin point.

Never mind the ethnic cleansing and war crimes in Lebanon. Damaging an inanimate object? That's where we draw the line over here at "the most moral army in the world".

Apple Intelligence, generate me an image of a tech bro

I don't recall any previous transformative technologies that had to be sold to the public so hard. No one in 1999 was going, "Guys. Cell phone? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about cell phone. So that we're not left behind!!"

Dining on conservative Christians figuring out Trump might not be a Christian after ten years of Trump doing not-Christian things.

Naturally, youtube's auto-dub feature is cursed, but I just noticed it's more cursed than I thought. The German auto-dub here inserted filler words like "uhm" and "er" and says "to be joined" twice. None of that is in the original. The auto-subtitles are perfect, and so is their google translation.

I'm glad the Chaos Primarchs have come to assist.

Bro quite literally saw the rest of the world come together to open the strait without US involvement, put on a pouty face, crossed his arms and went: If I can't clean up my own mess, no one will!

congratulations to the astronauts who get credit for a moon mission using rocket development work by trans women who had to quit their job and flee the state of florida and can’t celebrate this win with their coworkers

Complains about immigrants in Germany -> emigrates to Japan, where they complain about immigrants.

The old TF2 pyro airblast reserve shooter combo was not overpowered and they patched it because it made pyro too competitive and competitive players only want demo, soldier and scout.

Sam Altman has a new plan to make money from generative AI: he wants intelligence to be treated like water or electricity — and we’ll all have to pay him for it. His chatbots are degrading people’s ability to retain information and think critically. Now he wants to sell smarts back to us.

Calling Hezbollah a "terror militia", sure, but then you don't get to just call Israel flattening residential buildings a "surprise attack".

Very privileged to call Abi a friend, do vote for her!

I remember a Dishonored making-of clip where @harvey1966.bsky.social says something to the effect of: "It's a fantasy where if you knife the right five people, the world goes back to normal." Usually I'd agree. But just today, this very day, it feels ever so slightly less fantastical.

Sorry, apparently this was already out a week ago, but just seeing this NVIDIA App headline now after weeks of ridicule over DLSS 5 is perfect comedy.

don't threaten me with a good time

The audacity of an LLM my students use to turn 2 sentences worth of content into 5 paragraph emails to call out human writing for not being concise enough.

Honestly, it's giving www.youtube.com/shorts/Pbw5S...

Humans. I want to connect with humans. How is that so fucking hard to understand.

"What about the women and children? – I decided to find a clear solution [...]. I [am not] justified to [...] allow the avengers of our sons and grandsons in the form of their children to grow up. The difficult decision had to be made to have this people disappear from the earth." - Himmler, 1943

Say it with me: A state is not a company. State-run companies should not turn a profit. The point of public transport is to facilitate society and economy. Deutsche Bahn's value lies not in ticket sales but the commute it facilitates. www.tagesschau.de/wirtschaft/u...

OH MY HEART...the Oberlin Luddites Reject "The Year of AI Exploration"! 💚

Regulate YouTube.

@endolexi.eurosky.social and I are doing the cyberpunk soundtrack for Marie Meier's new book "Der letzte Schlüssel: Funkenflug"! You can find our OST for the first volume here and on most other streaming services: open.spotify.com/album/7mXgru...

My favorite FIFA story is the time they came to inspect Pinochet’s stadium prison camp to make sure it was up to their standards
