"What if instead of trying to get younger people to learn how to problem solve independent hardware solutions we not only stopped that instinct but ALSO gave them a machine that will make sure they stop looking for answers independently ever and just outsource problem solving entirely!"

The entire GOP message is just picking random crimes, describing them in gruesome detail, and saying that Democrats committed that crime.

this is in fact the design of the thing: it's all about being able to make choices for which the subject is not ultimately responsible (and also to the same point: why it both reproduces and induces business owner-style brainrot) www.forbes.com/sites/leslie...

I think about “normal to want and possible to achieve” all the time

congratulations to @poisonjr.bsky.social for changing my brain chemistry irrevocably

This is probably my favorite from twitter

Fun reminder disabled people generally cannot flee to other nations for sanctuary from increasing fascist dangers of eugenics. Including disabled people part of other marginalized communities (trans, otherwise queer, BIMPOC, etc.). We are literally barred from immigration due to being “burdens”.

No, fuck you. You don’t get to suddenly decide that copyright matters when folks suddenly have access to the source code of your spicy autocomplete due to your own incompetence.

the GOP is the KKK. Deal with it

I'm sorry, I spent my entire academic career being bullied systematically for asking for basic accomodations and now AI is allowed on exams???

I had a friend in college who worked in college governance. And when a new president came in, he gave them a list of readily doable things you can accomplish quickly that people will appreciate but that just haven’t gotten done. I feel like somebody has helped Mamdani write a similar list.

i think at some point during the mission trump is going to realize artemis II is another apollo 10 and get mad they're not touching down and if we're lucky no one will stop him from tweeting about how the astronauts are losers

Can we quit sincerely telling people that having their works plagiarized is flattering? It's a violation. hbomberguy nailed it when he broke down how plagiarism is not done out of admiration, it's driven by disrespect. Nothing flattering about that.

College class scheduling makes me want to kill myself

Hey new ESO trailer! So as a reminder: The company who makes ESO is owned by Microsoft and is thus subject to the BDS boycott of Xbox Game Studios related products

Even if you're just doing free to play content, it affects their metrics. It does indeed suck that Microsoft owns everything and is using that to fund genocide. Thats why its important to pay attention to targeted boycotts

YEP!

If you switch back and forth between hauling people and hauling cargo, a minivan is a far better choice than an SUV (kinda bad at both jobs) or a crew cab pickup (too expensive for what you get).

I’m not some IDIOT who needs car to drive children, I need something useful like a $150,000 truck that can tow an airplane

It is too late for you. I have already depctied myself as the smug, in-focus Xi Jinping and you as the hysterical, blurry Donald Trump.

Be careful folks, today is April Fool's Day, which means that the internet will be rife with misinformation and posts designed to deceive. Don't worry though, tomorrow we will be back to normal, and the internet will be rife with misinformation and posts designed to deceive.

you don’t have to know much world history to look at this map and immediately see why the entire western hemisphere has birthright citizenship

I wonder how many people are aware that this is the message of one of our country's most famous poems. It's not just about immigration.

I don’t love how every antisocial aspect of Twitter that gets replicated over here is then treated as a unique facet of Bluesky’s culture. Dogpiling is a Twitter thing and it’s still happening exponentially more on X than here

Just so you understand, this is as if you prepared for argument in front of a panel that included Cookie Monster, and Cookie Monster asked you a question about cookies, and you had not thought about cookies in advance.

A common question about alt text is whether or not it's appropriate to mention attributes like race or skin tone. A common response is, "It depends." In this post, Tolu Adegbite explains how race can be relevant and important in providing context. medium.com/shopify-ux/t...

Commentary: Anyone Else Have Those Weird Dreams Where Sobbing Future Generations Beg You To Change Course?

This is my trans agenda

it's trans day of please for the love of god just leave us alone and also give us $50 for groceries

it's always such a weird feeling when white cis men complain about being dogpiled on here because like *gestures at my constant treatment by this website*

closed the epic games launcher and got a ue4 crashlog. briefly i received visions of a world worse than that built on electron web apps. the future cannot come to pass

What made me realise reading comprehension differed across generations+culture not in ability but drift in the same language is “not all A are B” in one culture and “all A are not B” in another are commonly used to mean THE EXACT SAME THING. Colloquial usage > all. Gotta deal.

Honestly cannot think of a time I knew less what was going to happen at court than I feel ahead of oral arguments on birthright citizenship tomorrow. The fact that this is getting a full hearing instead of a 9-0, per curiam, benchslap is already beyond disturbing.

On the other hand, Donald does have the opportunity to do the funniest fucking thing in his life.

Just got a text from my wife who is moving up from Texas soon. Apparently 3 separate people have effectively begged her to take them with her. Build more housing here for our internally displaced refugees.

CONVERSION THERAPY IS LEGALIZED GROOMING. theres a reason so many of these fundies are caught raping children! when you treat a child as an incomplete and inferior being with zero agency you can do w/e you want to them. cis ppl give child rapists the benefit of the doubt so long as the childs queer

The biannual question: did they time [x] piece of anti-trans news for TDOV/TDOR because they’re cunts, or are there just so many anti-trans actions happening all the time that some fall inevitably and coincidentally on our visibility and memorial days?

Considering a new trans day between TDOV and TDOR called Cis Cunts Fucking Do Something Day

buddy you're so fucking close. you're right fucking there. come on man. you're right there

We need to talk about the place of the US military w/in America's socio-economy. The US military is THE last functioning social escalator left in the US. 1/

If you crack the US military, bleach it white, & prioritize it as a male institution to use terms we apply when politicians gerrymander electoral districts, then the only people who will be able to access this last functioning socio-economic escalator are white men. 3/

This allows you to remake the military, regardless of what it does to readiness & effectiveness, but also the civil service. I've written many times how the sequester warped civil service hiring for the DOD & the Services to protect people in the system or who have privileged access to it. 4/

While monocultures are bad, in regard to the military they're lethal. And not in a good way. They lead to bad outcomes because of bad inputs all the way through planning, from planning assumptions to estimates to the plan to assessment to execution. 8/

enough trans visibility. now for trans day of leave us the fuck alone

“States can’t ban conversion therapy but they can ban trans healthcare. They can’t regulate ‘crisis pregnancy centers’ but they can ban abortion. The plain text of the Constitution just happens to align with the GOP political platform. Do not dare suggest we’re doing politics.” —The Supreme Court

Synthesizing with Skrmetti, the Republican justices’ position is: “When the State decides to hurt trans people, that’s just good medicine. When it tries to help them, it’s viewpoint discrimination.”

The last time the Olympics had widespread sex eligibility testing, the results were disastrous. Add social media to that fire now. Intersex athletes will not only have their lives upended, they'll be brutally targeted for harassment and potential violence. www.erininthemorning.com/p/under-new-...

Congrats on Donald Trump for inventing the first Pyrrhic Loss
