Gonna be honest the SoftBank goose has really made my week. It’s so funny. It’s a perfect monument to the business idiots and what they imagine AI could be for no imaginable reason other than their willingness to be regulated by the wallet inspector. It’s indefensibly stupid.

Where's this energy for fascism?

We could use more people DOING something about Elon Musk instead of just amplifying his Stürmerposting. You can dismiss the Tesla dealer protests as "shitlib" all you want but it's 1000x more effective than just soyjack pointing at the guy's tweets

If you don’t care about people dying entirely preventable deaths or you don’t think that taxes & government should work to protect citizens from preventable harms then there’s probably no point talking to you, but every 1 dollar spent on syringe service programs saves us all 7 dollars in other costs

No one should lose their voting rights but this person makes me reconsider

i have no butt and i must fart

To be clear, the EU replacing Palantir with their own homegrown technologies is a small victory at best. Anyone building "software defined warfare" is fascist and they deserve to be banished from society. EU-based AI warfare is not going to be some woke thing created by the o.g. imperialist powers

This clip of Donald Trump pissing himself will have unlimited usage

if you do not have the right to own a gun while smoking weed in this country you have zero rights. the second amendment is a civil right. if we say past use of a substance renders use of that right criminal, any right can be so criminalized.

finally one good ruling in a mountain of shit www.cbsnews.com/news/supreme...

Man Iran really kicked our asses on this one huh

my toxic trait is that I think I unironically agree with this lol

If you’re scared of “chemicals” you shouldn’t be eating flaming hot Cheetos; you should take a basic science class and probably get some therapy

SCOOP: So remember Dialog, Peter Thiel's private society that doesn't have a public website and no public list of members? I (along with a number of other journalists) have just been tipped off that embedded in the code of their closed off website there IS what seems to be a list of some members.

I have an abundance of curiosity as to what's going on here

This is an unsung benefit of electric vehicles. If you don’t go to gas stations you are protected from some very odd impulse buys

If you want to purchase and use this stuff that's fine, I don't judge and in fact, I get it! But people should not accidentally get addicted to stuff they think is something else. If the only lines we have are "zero regulation" or "illegal" everything will eventually be illegal

I'm not a pro-ban person when it comes to substances but it remains beyond insane that 7-OH is being marketed and sold like it's 5 Hour Energy. This shit is not normal "kratom" and it's not an energy supplement. It's fucking Oxy and if you get addicted to it you will get dopesick.

Exactly. It would be an intensely stupid win to hand to the right wing.

This really needs to be pointed out more often. Even here in the U.S. we aren't really overrun by racists douchbags. Or transphobic assholes. But it absolutely feels like it especially when the media chooses to focus on them and not all of the good in the world.

Random comment seen on Mastodon: "AI artwork looks the way Christian Rock sounds."

fuck yeah. that's how it's done. 💪🏻

this is actually good news. I am shooketh

This is the best bumper sticker I have ever seen. Made by @jillianlewis.bsky.social

Years ago, we looked up book-related injuries in our NEISS injury data system and, unsurprisingly, many injuries were from books falling off shelves, people tripping over boxes of books, and injuries from trying to pick up boxes of books. The books are most dangerous when they are flocking together.

Clockwise from top left: Nectopsyche sp. - White Miller Caddisfly Petrophila jaliscalis - Jalisco Petrophila Cyllopsis gemma - Eastern Gemmed-Satyr Cerastipsocus trifasciatus - Barklouse maybe the depicted salticid is at a low anterior angle: how real jumpers may encounter another face-to-face?

Been laughing at this for 45 minutes straight

Lots of people laughing at my trauma

yeah I unironically think that the *complete* elimination of content recommendation algorithms would improve things by a huge amount. want something? search for it. no more "you might like..."

so, last night we went to the symphony. they were doing the John Williams soundtrack of Jaws, while the movie played. it was great, just overall. but my personal favorite part…

Again you need to be following these puppers in the PNW instead of thinking dooming is activism

Every politician who pushed AI should be forever remembered as a snake oil salesman willing to sell out humanity. Lying to our faces while the writing was on the wall for all to see

The nearly 2 million bug zappers sold in the United States each year cause the needless deaths of billions of innocent insects. We need to get the word out that they don't control mosquitoes. Please share this list with your neighbors. #mosquitoes #insects colinpurrington.com/2026/06/10-r...

Wild how countries like Poland and Hungary became the next Reich while everyone was focused on the USA

GOG having an extremely normal one

Listen up designers: Girls crave them big pockets

standing in a longish line for a cheap mead, and overhead behind me: "this is inefficient!" (true tbh) "in New York, where I'm from, we don't do lines! We just get our stuff and go sit down!" um. in what universe lmao

1. Billionaire and anti-trans activist Elon Musk has confirmed that he bought twitter, in part, because of his trans daughter Vivian. This is the first direct confirmation from Musk. He has since used it to wage war against transgender people. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Happy Pride

whew I forgot how weird beta alanine tingles are lol

RETVRN TO FLYING TOASTERS

The Catholic Catechism and the Baptist Confession of Faith state explicitly that God is neither male nor female, has no body or physical form. To think of God as biologically male diminishes the very nature of God. Everyone from Billy Graham to the Pope to the Anglican Church agrees on this.

You know why.

i just wanna look at bugs forever
