I got lots of problems with these people but one of the biggest complaints I have is none of them know any of the pop culture references they keep using in memes. This guy literally threw the detonator out the window so no one would die

the idea that you can be fuckin "website addicted" sounds about as real "porn addiction" ie: fake grifter horseshit that nazis want to use to control you

The use of the term "tradwife" is the giveaway. I know plenty of couples where the woman is a stay-at-home mom having lots of babies. But their husbands treat them with respect and devotion. "Tradwife" is a term that implies ownership, commodification. If someone uses it, run a mile.

long ago, in my mid-teens, I somehow came across a single issue of Twilight Zone Magazine -- nontrivial in Ecuador. I'm just now realizing how much of my life that issue crystallized. It reviewed 3 notable things: 2 recent films, The Terminator and Buckaroo Banzai, and >

right now the astronauts are calling houston because the computer on the spaceship is running two instances of microsoft outlook and they can't figure out why. nasa is about to remote into the computer

TIL the "omegaverse" does not, apparently, have anything to do with Kenny Omega

Christianity will triumph over Islam, a religion so monstrous that it forbids the use of alcohol. by Pete Hegseth

"The Constitution is not a suicide pact" is a favorite old chestnut with security hawks who hate individual rights, and I think we should be very clear about this: Actually, it is.

Fuck Him Up Socrates by a head and neck, a @leyawn.bsky.social classic

So much of this is clearly people who used weight as sort of a fucked up measurement of someone's willpower that are mad now that it can just be solved with something highly accessible to anyone with any significant amount of disposable income

realizing i have come to hate TTRPG PDFs so much because the experience of using them on a device is so miserable that 25% of the reason I'm writing my own is so I can provide it as an epub just to prove it can be done

moby-dick, his eyes enormous: from hell's heart you STAB at moby? for hate's sake you spit your last BREATH at moby? oh! oh! the great shroud of the sea for ahab! the great shroud of the sea rolling on as it rolled five thousand years ago!!!!

Approximately 80 but I'm not as organized as TMP so I'm positive there's a cache of a few more lying around. The point is, ideas are frickin free. The work is the hard part.

Happy trans day of visibility, here is a wrasse design I made awhile ago because all wrasses change sexes as they age.

write-only social media has some very definite use cases

4th Edition D&D was the only version of D&D worth a good goddamn as a technical document on how to have a complex conversation around a game table and for this solecism it was reviled.

vicious hot take: if you are mad at the world and decide to deal with it by participating in a screaming dogpile of someone whose sin was writing accurately on a technical subject, and part of the outcome of this is that you got put on blast, mazel tov on your opportunity for personal growth.

sighs, resets the DAYS SINCE PEOPLE FAILED TO DISTINGUISH 'TELLING YOU FACTS ABOUT REALITY' FROM 'SAYING THOSE FACTS ARE COOL AND GOOD' counter back to zero

the national-security "exposed to blackmail" and "hypocrisy" angles are legit objections but "lol perverts" is gonna get you some rich side-eye from me, speaking as a pervert

Ok. Um..I did not understand this to be the theory. It's...a unique and creative theory, which is a phrase in law that translates roughly to "$100,000 retainer up front, topped up at least monthly, and don't plan on this taking leas than five years to fully resolve." bsky.app/profile/winc...

reminded of the time i was at a mobile games startup and nobody knew why 'ecchi' was on the list and i had to, reluctantly, become the Weeb Explainer

I realize that "learn to code" became a toxic mantra hurled by the worst people, but y'know, it's actually not a bad idea if regular people, like, learn a bit of Python. A bit of understanding of the machines that underpin our lives is basic literacy, not a roadblock or a burden.

Could explain why an interpretation of a Supreme Court opinion is misleading, unfair, or uncharitable, but if the Court itself is dishonest and unfair, and has lost any possible entitlement to charity, why bother?

Okay folks I've responded to the data center heat island paper. It is the worst study on AI and the environment I've ever read, by far. Thank you to @beijingpalmer.bsky.social for flagging. blog.andymasley.com/p/data-cente...

The oxford comma carries non-optional semantic weight and leaving it off is an error, not a choice.

this is a place of honor. something extremely cool is buried here.

“We will intimidate & possibly capture the families of these *checks notes* freshly trained professional killers. We are good at long term strategy.”

Can't stress enough how basically banning people from renting single family homes (which is the flip side of banning companies from renting them out) is basically economic redline with lefty vibes (only the well off can live in suburbs). Sadly I think that is why it is so popular.

I promise there's no politics in my novel about a crisis caused by DIY necromancy popularized by popular radio show hosts in the face of understood best practices on proper corpse handling shown to work for generations. It's just a guy kissing a girl made of concrete (he really loves his city ok)

Marx hated a lot of self-described Marxists *in his lifetime* because they used his name for empty braindead sloganeering, so at least they're continuing a proud tradition

A bunch of self-styled Marxists are showing up to quote dunk something Marx would have unambiguously agreed with

i know there are attention algorithms and paywalls and video ads and micro transactions now but idk the internet is still pretty magical sometimes, my dudes

I saw you at the NIN show with your earplugs and your orthotics, you can’t fool me

I’m not saying following what your dick wants always delivers ideal results but it is a hell of a lot better than following what you think other people’s dicks want

I'd make locro but you can't get the right potatoes north of the Darién Gap, you can cobble together a decent to tasty potato soup but it ain't locro, and forget llapingachos

almost to 10k posts here and really looking forward to it bc i assume that's when they send someone with the captive bolt gun

every time I see "annunciator panel" anywhere I think there is a "notify Mary of pregnancy" button and it's required to be there by city code

TBQ is both a shitpost and the real deal, seriously worth your attention

it's a losing proposition but one you can't refuse it's the politics of unit tests it's the coder's blues

#13thAge artist Lee Moyer has a 364-page graphic novel on pre-order sale at Barnes&Noble. Lee is the *writer* and painter of Trident of Aurelia, and today the code PREORDER25 gets you a 25% discount when the book releases later this year. tinyurl.com/52bhwuzs

The correct term is "parasite". This has fascy connotations, and half of everyone calling anything "parasitic" means "the jews". These people suck, and I invite them to follow their leader. Nevertheless, things like "putting ethanol into fuel" should be correctly understood as parasitic

The Meta ruling is bad, no matter how much you dislike Meta or how much New Mexico tries to pretend this is about "product design" This is an attempt to get around Section 230 (and 1A) protections, hold platforms liable for user speech, implement universal age verification, and end encrypted DMs
