history will ultimately decide this but i think joyce carol oates might have just landed the most devastating burn in human history. like the death star trench run of posting

I simply do not understand why people look at betting markets as any sort of indicator other than what a bunch of gambling addicts are guessing based on the same info we have access to. One of Nate Silver's most pernicious little legacies.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion. As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

What happens when you distill 2025 into a single social media post? This. This is what you get.

Still need more baseball? We found a CD in our archives containing dozens of unused voice lines from MLB Slugfest 20-03 rejected by the MLB. Here's some of our favorites.

LLMs are racist snd sexist because the material they’re trained on is racist snd sexist and they’re owned and operated by racist, sexist billionaires. Stop using this shit. It’s fucking up your brain.

@sheaserrano.bsky.social @netw3rk.bsky.social Any chance we can get a pirate radio 6 Trophies for the Aces?

Are you trans in the Magic the Gathering space? Are you creating, supporting, even just playing and having fun!? Sound off. Celebrate yourself here. Find each other. We're stronger together. Are you an ally? Boost us. Show support. Help us feel safer out here.

I still can't get over the surreal experience of watching Trump effectively telling all our generals he is going to order them to kill American citizens in my city in a speech that he also stopped midway through to spend 5 minutes explaining how he is so smart for walks down stairs slowly.

@vorthosjay.bsky.social I apologize for asking this question, the type of which I'm sure you're getting a lot of, but it's oddly important to me - is The Scouring Stormsoul" from through the omenpaths native to Thunder Junction, or one of its many visitors?

In Metal Gear Solid (1998), when fighting the Hind D helicopter, you're advised to keep track of its location by listening to the stereo panning. But if you've set "Sound" to "Monaural" in the Options menu, you get this exclusive addition. . .

I was listening to an old Casey Kasem American Top 40 (I find this soothing these days) from 1985 where he told the story of Wendy Carlos, who scored The Shining and Tron, and her journey to becoming trans. Casey got all the pronouns right and it was presented as a slice of life, feel good story

One of my most moral panic style opinions is the use of “NPC” as a slur is a symptom of a societal sociopathy epidemic.

me (sober): i will not go to the town that is shrouded in fog to find my wife who has been dead for three years me (after three beers): could she really be here after all this time? in our special place?
