YOU’RE LISTENING TO SISYPHUS FM, THE HOME OF NON-STOP ROCK

Getting goblin names from the botanical garden

Just a reminder that earlier this month, the House passed a bipartisan bill that would make most charitable bail funds illegal.

ppl be out there cookin their brains on llm sycophancy and i can't get any of these clankers to support my position that a reuben and a cubano are basically the same

many such cases (it's me, i'm cases)

a day late, but regarding 💿🐎 and PBtA

My generation is haunted by the past

taxes are how the federal govt can afford to spy on you for no reason and make their enforcers legally invincible after they murder someone you care about. Taxes are how the state can send ICE to murder unarmed people in the street. Taxes are how J6ers are going to get massive payouts.

RETVRN in the most unexpected fashion

TIL that Hildegard Von Bingen had incels dead to rights in the 12th gods damn century:

moral panics about cartoon drawings are loser shit and you don't need me to tell you why

Temu Gavin Newsom can go fuck himself

my sole commentary on The Boys is that the comic reflects Ennis' contempt for virtue or the bare concept of human decency as anything but a manipulative show to extract from others, and the tv series is in that regard a faithful adaptation and is thus unwatchable

what i'm learning is that people have, somehow, gone to an absolute shitload of concerts. I am positive i'm nowhere near 10. I'm at 6 unique bands. Who goes to that much live music? Getting there's a pain in the ass, getting back worse, it's hot, it's loud. You have headphones and a couch at home.

I can't imagine what the legal theory is here. I mean, we have a simple English word for people who aren't allowed to withhold their labor from their employer.

[enormous bong rip] “I want to kill baby Grogu” is the same reaction as “the minions were iced to prevent them working for Hitler”: an instinctive, primal recoiling from the perceived chaotic power of the fey imp creature who wields power over the collective unconscious

about art: the locus of the harm (or benefit, granting the premise arguendo) is not and cannot be in the art itself, but in the art's beholder, because it depends on what you bring to it. that's why condemning art as harmful or immoral is purely a category error.

there's no scientific evidence clearly demonstrating that ween and weezer are different bands

hey throw a pal a couple bucks if you can

Information security in cyberpunk looks so cool and then you get to do it irl and 90% of your effort is keeping an ancient man in accounts payable from wiring $300k to a criminal running a phishing campaign.

My favorite TTRPG classes: 1. 5 genders, 3 weapon specializations, 0 healthy coping mechanisms 2. Dance instructor, Trauma Conga Line 3. 2 neurons and both express the Joy of Righteous Slaughter 4. Even in misery there is a sunbeam of delight 5. A Simple, Honest Fuckboi

We see here how the concept of “male socialization” leads directly to transmisgony. “Stop acting like a man or else you’re not really a woman, nor are you transitioning hard enough.” Fuck off. No woman, trans or cis, has to act a certain way to be a woman, nor do you gatekeep someone’s transition.

I’ve been officially jokerfied on this: occupy was a mistake, the entire “1% vs 99%” framing was a _catastrophic_ mistake. We’ve raised a generation of simpletons who think that “as long as anyone is richer than me, I shouldn’t have to contribute” is socialism.

Why is it always Yu Yu Hakusho and never Us Us Hakusho???

if you say this, you should be given the choice between a year's worth of subsistence agricultural work and never posting again

📢 SPREAD THE WORD! Tomorrow my best bud @abandonedsheep.com is launching his debut indie game... Schrödinger's Cat Burglar

Saltwater taffy is called that to distinguish it from freshwater taffy. there’s also taffy that can move between both ecosystems and that’s called anadromous taffy

alignment == putting a P fence around an NP problem

One of the conservative architects of the UK's Online Safety Act is suddenly shocked — shocked! — to find that it applies to anti-immigrant content she likes. Censorship is a hungry, hungry, profoundly stupid beast.

a thing i think of regarding female character designs is that one 90's poll about SNK characters where Mai (gaming's OG titty ninja (affectionate)) was the most popular female character among female players, while Nakoruru (shy and demure young shrine maiden) was #1 girl to male players

The people mad about this are effectively arguing that humans working in Trust & Safety should be necessarily exposed to a lot of traumatizing stuff (CSAM, gore, etc.)

I hovered a foot above the forest canopy, mainly spruce and fir, and checked the .45 in my holster. The 41st Goetic Tactical knew its way around magic, but a loaded M1911 has a spell all its own, and it's a hard one to ward off.

everyone bags on idiots with no philosophy education re-inventing Plato, but consider: maybe they're doing that because his ideas were obvious and bad

the epistemological warrant is how we know that a given object is or is not a cherry pie

The man who bankrupted a casino has now also managed to produce the first football world cup nobody wants to attend, there has never been anyone else who ever possessed this level of ability at failing

The drop in teen moms is one of the most major factors driving birth rate declines. We've gone from >80 per 1,000 15- to 19-year-olds in 1950 to 50 per 1,000 in 2000 to 12.7 today! This fact needs to be at the forefront of every discussion about birth rates

Birth rates have been declining for hundreds of years. Blaming smart phones for recent declines is nothing more than moral panic at its finest reason.com/2026/05/18/t...

So you CAN get reparations you just have to be a reactionary white person who tries to overthrow the government because black votes shouldn’t count

And one reason this is REALLY important is bc if your response to this is to say WAH WAH MERRICK GARLAND instead of "I will hang the slush fund for terrorists, cop assailants, and child sex predators on every GOP candidate," you will continue to lose. Bc it's how we lost in 2024.

Just so happy with how this game feels by now. Was rewatching an older trailer and it's already so solid here - only getting better & better You could help out a bunch with a wishlist over on Steam and a repost! store.steampowered.com/app/2396130/...

🎶 MOTOR LODGE 🎶 WHAT’S YOUR PRICE PER NIGHT

"Make sure the thing you cite as support for your position actually says what you claim it does" is not onerous. It's below table stakes. It's the subfloor.

they call it mango lassi because you're meant to throw it down the well

Sometimes it takes you so long to manifest an artistic idea in a tangible and complete way that someone with a similar brain finally comes along and scoops you on it. You just gotta say "good job, kid" and get back to work.
