It kind of makes me think the universe is a simulation or something it’s that funny it feels unrealistic

What fictional creature/villain traumatized you as a child? The company, Weyland Yutani. I was definitely "too young" to watch movies like Alien, or Terminator, or Lawnmower Man, but of all the movie monsters it's the C-Suite of Weyland Yutani that is the scariest monster of any movie franchise.

I blame Brave Little Toaster and Toy story for instilling an American form of Shintoism and Tsukumogami within me. I can't help it sometimes, I fucking cry about cars rotting away It's especially bad in our modern "use it up n throw it away" society Remember when the future looked bright? I did

Another favorite: take a look at any of the art for Noah's Arc Gay gorillas Gay lions Gay cardinals Gay gibbons Gay elephants

Revisited Casablanca last night and boy this movie about refugees desperate to be free getting crushed underfoot by fascism and their apathetic accomplices has a lot going on huh. Lot still in there

Best news of the day… and I’m glad it finally happened. #ArtifactRepatriation www.cbc.ca/news/vatican...

🥽if you lose your trans healthcare over this SCREAM ABOUT IT AT ANYONE WHO WILL LISTEN It this Pope wants to rehabilitate his church’s reputation, he needs to restore our healthcare

Originally, Type O blood was gonna be called “type zero” because it has zero AB antigens But it was misread as type o I guess y’all could call it a… typo

I couldn’t even begin to say. I think probably Vinci? Or Custard.

Many people dismissed the announcement Catholic hospitals will ban gender-affirming care nationwide under the assumption that there will be other options. In reality, Catholic hospitals make up as much 46% of options in some states. This map is 2020, prior to Trump’s assault on safety net hospitals.

65 Years Ago,,, History was made. #RubyBridges

Chat this may be controversial to say but Trans people are awesome

It's a great cosmic joke that neurodivergence both runs in families and gets diagnosed based on parent reports. I was diagnosed at 30 because a man who has eaten potatoes every day for 57 years and a woman who collects loose buttons decided I was a perfectly normal child.

As ever, the outside agitators the mayors are complaining about causing violence and unrest in the streets are federal agents kidnapping children and splitting up families. ICE must be destroyed

Our beloved Alice Wong has joined the ancestors. It was one of the great honors of my life to call Alice my friend, co-author & co-conspirator. She was a true genius, a force of nature the likes of which the world has never seen before. I love you, Alice, and am equal parts grateful and devastated

‘Death remains my intimate shadow partner. It has been with me since birth, always hovering close by. I understand one day we will finally waltz together into the ether. I hope when that time comes, I die with the satisfaction of a life well-lived, unapologetic, joyful, & full of love.’ —Alice Wong

The incredible, indomitable, inspirational Alice Wong has left us. I'm so grateful to have known her on social media, and so grateful for all the words she shared with us and all the actions she encouraged us into making. May we live up to her example. (so you don't have to go to Instagram)

Thank you Alice for being my friend and comrade. You have been a beacon, a badass crip auntie who modelled incredible boundaries and offered the world such incisive wisdom and grace. We are all better for having known Alice. #ConnectingGaza

Oh fuck, ah hell and shit i just found out that we lost @sfdirewolf.bsky.social. i just… ah fuck.

And not to get too real on a late night post, but yeah. I am *so* fucking done with people acting like this is normal. That the president of our country can just flat out lie and it’s not a big deal. That an entire branch of our government has been subverted to the whims of a serial liar.

Wait people still play CoD in 2025?

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back

I do not want to “Do my own research.” I want to pay trained accredited experts to do the research, trained accredited experts to report on findings, and trained accredited experts to make policy based on them. I am busy af with my own job, I don’t need to do eight zillion more.

Voorstraat in Utrecht: a true fietsstraat where bikes come first and cars are guests. It’s not just safer and more relaxed to cycle - the whole street benefits. Outdoor cafés, quieter homes, and a vibrant public space. When you design for people, cities flourish.

Alice Wong was one of the most effective people challenging the Whiteness of disability communities and its many flaws, but who believed fiercely in us as a community, in disabled people as oracles. Alice brought so much to so many of us, it’s hard to measure the kind of gratitude I have for that.

what public domain does to an old dog

Alan Dershowitz is one of those claiming Epstein was not a pedophile because he pleaded guilty to one count of having sex for money with a 17-year-and-10-month-old person. "That’s not a pedophile." See this important response from Julia Brown, the brave reporter who broke the news on this

Bill Clinton was the most powerful man in the world, and Monica Lewinsky was an intern and his subordinate, and in any other workplace that would be called sexual harassment, and if you don't take power dynamics into account when you talk about things like this, you don't actually understand consent

Current (permanent) mood as an American in 2025:

bringing this statement over from Alice’s Twitter. it appears the below was Alice’s last post before passing. I am heartbroken

Centrists - "I don't want the left to win because I am fundamentally opposed to everything they're trying to do." Also centrists - "I don't want the right to win because I'm on the Blue Team."

Centrists and the far right aren't politically different, they're just two teams playing the same sport in different coloured kits and hating each other on the basis of that and literally nothing else.

Lot of "Liberals" showing their whole arse right now praising Marjorie Taylor Greene for her split with Trump, and conveniently forgetting literally everything else she's ever said or done before this year.

Please tell me we're not rehabilitating Space Laser Lady just because she and Trump had a quarrel. She's still a racist, transphobic, antisemitic piece of shit.

Lot of replies on this one saying “you dodged a bullet” and uh no I’m pretty sure I got hit by a very large bullet that made me bleed a lot and nearly die instead of I guess the apparently much worse bullet of “making 240k/yr after bonus”

Not to get all Sun Tzu on it, but when the enemy is weak and divided amongst itself, you do not relieve the enemy by allowing their partisans into your camp. You drive them closer together, force them into tighter company, and intensify their conflict.

Someone called me a liar for saying I wouldn't buy any new games if every game suddenly had gen AI content in it, as if old games don't exist. These people are Desperate.

I've faced similar claims and it's like bro I am streaming Digimon and going back to shit like Peak and Lethal Company because there are like a billion games. Like a billion.

dystopian ass weather report

with all these pedophiles and pedophile-apologists on the right, my hard stance as someone planning a family right now is that anyone who voted for these people is not allowed to be in my children’s lives because I cannot trust them to not hurt my children

if you're being pedantic about the definition of pedophilia I'm assuming you are a pedophile

I do want good journalism to survive which is why I hold institutions accountable and elevate outlets doing the kind of work our country needs at the moment. Unfortunately right now, many people are saying outlets like the NY Times and Washington Post are not doing that.

I'm sorry, but this is an untenable and patronizing framework because it creates a situation where all criticism is shouted down to protect journalism. We need to be able to talk about broken systems. Are other journalists the sole arbiter of what's "good" or do we, as consumers, have any say?

Aaron here, Jay's top redditor, thinks government agencies posting snuff films and bragging about genocide is not violent rhetoric. But that people saying they'll defend themselves from violence is.

“we will kill you” while posting boats getting drone struck (containing people they killed) really feels like the glorifying of violence & harm

"Department of War" posts direct "We will kill you" messaging: Fine. Stand up comedian & voice actor posts indirect "someone should feed her through a wood chipper": Credible threat, must suspend account.
