"zoomers are killing the bar industry" oh interesting was it zoomers who decided a drink should cost seventeen dollars

These vaccines could prevent so much absolutely horrific suffering if anyone in power actually cared about preventing human suffering… everything from MS, ME/CFS, multiple cancers, dementia… we could stop them in their tracks if we wanted to #TripleTheNIHBudget

I genuinely cannot believe the degree to which we are pissing away this generational breakthrough, even given the fuckmuppets who are involved www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Greedy peasants splurging on food and water again, say sensible, fair minded overlords.

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

"cooled by the vacuum of space" - huh, neat. hey does anyone know how thermoses work

anne frank died from typhus in such a "prison" every person perishing of disease or medical complications from being denied care is another anne frank we have created. they may have their own diaries we'll never read. it's a concentration camp. you can, and should call it what it is.

A reminder: this is an Irishman with valid papers speaking about how he's being held in US concentration camps. If you don't have to go to the US, do not go to the US. "GDC" is not "have to go". One denial at the border is going to mark you for life, and that's the best of the bad outcomes.

I'm uninstalling my RING today. Dystopia notwithstanding, the Ring commercial about their surveillance finding lost pets makes no sense. Of the ~10M pets lost annually, their service finds ~500. They want Americans to commit privacy suicide for a .005% success rate??? Yeah, no thanks. Cancelling.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt went to the Senate claiming to "hold big tech accountable" while promoting The Heritage Foundation's tech policy agenda and boosting groups like Morality in Media (aka NCOSE), which has sought to criminalize LGBTQ sex, w board members that support conversion therapy

“Accessibility is necessary infrastructure.” Accessibility is political. “It has always been defended by people who chose to act anyway.“ We can uphold good design practices with inclusion at their core. Thank you for writing, @annaecook.com!

No one could have foreseen this.

Reminder that Third Way is a Republican group attempting to pretend to be democrats to try and hamstring the left, and a good way to operate is to do the exact opposite of whatever they suggest.

“You’re a civil rights attorney who has been canceled by both the right and the left which means you must be doing something right.” - Jon Stewart to Jenin Younes, who cut her teeth peddling COVID denialism and working at a Koch-backed lawfare shop.

COVID broke Jon Stewart’s brain. From pushing the lab leak to attacking masking…and now this? Like, do a little bit of homework. She went to work for fucking Jim Jordan and his subcommittee on the “weaponization of government.” She’s pushed anti-vax bullshit. She is not a good faith actor.

They’re all pathetic “what a weak man thinks a strong man looks like“ photos but I think the best is Rubio trying to be Clinton during the Bin Laden raid.

letsee same page on if we want kids, rarely drink and special occasions drinking that lines up, same views on pets great, hm says here you want me my friends and relatives to die of easily solved medical complications and think we shouldn't vote and don't belong in the US, but what shows do you like

Having to be constantly on alert for AI sludge is exhausting. If you wanted to invent a technology to suck the joy out of as many parts of life as possible you'd struggle to do better than this LLM shite.

Reagan funded and armed death squads, left Americans to die during the AIDS crisis, destroyed the economic tools that built the 20th century, his allies committed treason in 1980 (at the bare minimum, above that Reagan might have been involved) and pioneered "own the libs" politics.

Lots of love to the person who just said “oh 💩” over at Zillow

Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s. This is the power of vaccines. The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer. Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!

what's up @brianstelter.bsky.social

Like it or not this technology is here to stay and if you don’t use it you’ll fall behind in your industry

For the Disability community, losing Alice Wong is like losing Ursula Le Guin or Octavia Butler. She was a powerhouse, a pioneer, and a mentor to many. She taught me so much. And always reminded me what we were fighting towards, as well as against. I miss her clarity, bravery, and joy.

May her memory be for a revolution that lights all of our way home. ❤️‍🔥

JD Vance owns a company that buys American real estate and sells it to foreign investors. They specifically target Americans in crisis to buy their property for less than it is worth.

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

Schumer & Jeffries should have the integrity to resign from their positions in leadership. They've failed, badly. Either they cannot control their caucuses or they're lying & secretly pushed this vote through behind the scenes. Either way, their betrayal of the American people is indefensible.

Anyway a great way to radicalize people is for them to realize that you just abandoned their chance at being able to access and afford health care because you didn’t like waiting in line at the airport.

don’t just go into a new codebase and start ripping things apart. “live in it and learn the pain points.” — @ohhelloana.blog @beyondtellerrand.com love this. refactors should be based on actual needs and real benefits, not the desire to “leave a mark” on the codebase

The man who ended USAID is the world's first trillionaire

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

Fossil fuel lobbyists are now talking gas up as a ‘green’ fuel. To be absolutely clear, this is nonsense. Coal full life cycle emissions: 800-1,700g CO2e/kWh Gas full life cycle emissions: 290-930g CO2e/kWh Wind power full life cycle emissions: 5-15g CO2e/kWh

If you do fun things to the font of your username, you are known as "pretentious squiggle" in my head, just so you know. I can't read that shit, people with screen readers can't read that shit.

GET REKT we were right all along

ah, this guy was taken alive, unharmed, and there hasn't been an all-hands-on-deck freakout about What It Means. Guess the demographic!

To say that the majority of Trek fans are right wing and that women don’t *really* like it is something that only a real trek fan would know that only a fake Trek fan would say

"In the two years since the state started charging a 4% surtax on incomes over $1 million, the effort has created a $5.7 billion windfall, with the surplus being used to fund bridge repairs, bolster literacy programs and address the transportation system’s budget deficit." Taxing the rich works!

no need to be specific now I guess

i actually don’t think the “average” american millennial man had a nazi phase. it’s not some boys will be boys shit. this makes me side eye you and your friend group, sounds like a personal problem

Vance is very much the "little brother with the unplugged controller" of politicians

Solar Opposites is such a delightful example you can do adult humor and marriage comedy based on how much the couple *like* each other.
