This is the major museum in my state, by the way. I used to have to walk past it every day to get to uni. Everyone knows it for the big dinosaur statue and the whale hanging in the entranceway. And now it's a propaganda outlet like everything else

kinda just feels like a good time to remind everyone that Kiwifarms is one of the most deeply sociopathic horrors the internet has ever spawned that mercilessly stalks and harrasses people (always in the worst faith you can imagine) you should never take a single piece of their "info" at their word

my last post Abt this before I move on: if everyone had their teenage self held to the same standards as my teenage self, then everyone would receive call-outs and harassment towards them. I'm old enough to give myself grace and know that I wasn't perfect/irresponsible but who wasn't as a teen.

i never groomed a minor, that kid I knew (who I will keep anonymous) suicide baited me constantly, which made me hesitate to unfriend them until I couldn't take it anymore and blocked. i was 19 when this all happened, still in highschool.

Just like there is a small % of Christians who are horrendous people claiming to be devout Christian, the same applies to the Muslim population. You cannot paint the whole group to be terrible people based on the actions of one or several “Christians” or “Muslims” who create chaos and death.

I hope this email finds you living in a shotgun shack. I hope it finds you in another part of the world. I hope it finds you behind the wheel of a large automobile

Instead of a song being stuck in my head, today what's stuck in my head is the "fuck ya life. bing-bong!" pigeon video.

I don't think Netflix should get to eat anything else until it finishes all the prematurely cancelled shows on its plate

wokeness will come back in a way no one is ready for. they got one year of anti-woke culture and they’re seeing it’s cancerous

73% of ICE detainees have no criminal convictions, according to govt data. Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about targeting the “worst of the worst.” As ICE terrorizes cities to fill up detention centers, remember that some of Trump's major donors are private prison corporations.

We got Weird Al out here singing Killing In The Name, the time for moderation is over

The executive branch of the United States government is being bullied by a pop star who is three apples tall

At about $60K that's about 128 million graduate team indie games, at $150K about 500,000 small indie games, at $300K about 250,000 mid-size debut indie games, or at around $950K about 110,000 indie games by a team of more experienced devs. There are a total of 110,000 indie games on Steam.

ICYMI - Halle Berry is all out of f*cks "Gavin Newsom, has vetoed our menopause bill, not one, but two years in a row, But that’s OK, because he’s not going to be governor forever, and the way he has overlooked women… by devaluing us, he probably should not be our next president either."

Why are things unaffordable? If the min wage increased at the rate of productivity since 1960, it'd be $27 today—not $7.25 Billionaires & Mega Corps have stolen at least $20/hour from working Americans for 65 years—an estimated $79T Things are unaffordable because billionaires are stealing from us

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

He’s right. I *hate* it but those are the (rigged) rules of the game, and we can either play by the “fair” rules and lose democracy or we can play the game sitting in front of us and then fix the rules to be fair again after we regain power from the cheaters. It’s not cheating now. The refs say so.

People need to boycott this show and not just half ass. Shame everyone who plans on watching it. This isn't about Eurovision, it's about Israel getting away with committing genocide because THERE ARE NEVER ANY CONSEQUENCES. They should be untouchable by now. Everybody needs to walk the fucking walk.

oops it's her again

Since becoming a parent I have not, in fact, understood the parents who say “if you were a parent you’d understand” about vaccine hesitancy. Being in charge of this fragile little miracle has me saying things like “give her all the vaccines. Turn this baby into a pincushion” to doctors

I love companies being punished for replacing workers with AI. Gimme more

QTP Super Smash Bros. main! Decent at melee combat, good projectiles, good grabbing, a Final Smash that you really have to position yourself right for; what's not to love? Also, playing as her was the first time I was able to beat @emilysylveon.bsky.social in a round of Ultimate.

Forty years ago, 90% of media outlets were spread across 50 companies. Now, just 5 companies control 90% of the media market. This consolidation hurts consumers and helps oligarchs. 🧵

Because who ever said disabled people aren’t capable of locking animals in cages, stripping Munchkins of their rights and turning their ex into a shiny metallic servant boy.

oh hey i found a version of this post from before i got banned to prove i made it :) timestamped jan 31st 2023 thats two weeks before i got permabanned jesus 😭

Ireland, Spain, Slovenia and the Netherlands are pulling out of the Eurovision Song Contest next year, after they refused to hold a vote on barring Israel on Thursday.

*youth pastor voice* Let me tell you kids about another carpenter who wasn’t very popular with the authorities

Tapping the sign (@boocanan.bsky.social)

A new CNN report uncovers that the IDF knowingly: •Shot starving Palestinians trying to collect flour •Bulldozed their bodies into shallow, unmarked graves •Left them to decompose, scavenged by dogs •Never documented these murders & tried to hide them This is what genocide looks like. Horrific.

new episode of kill the computer where we talk about how the oklohoma university essay debacle was a planned political narrative targeting a trans professor from the very start

look I’m not an evangelical but “a guy calling himself the Beast wants control of your earthly wealth” feels like some kind of sign, no?

Now that the trap era of pop music is definitively behind us, I can now say this: My assessment that Sicko Mode was the Bohemian Rhapsody of the 2010s was 100% correct. All the coolest parts of the era's coolest and most hype music, made unprecedentedly streamlined, accessible and successful.

A new Amnesty International report on conditions at “Alligator Alcatraz” and Krome North Service Processing Center details how human rights violations at the two facilities amount to torture in some cases.

Homie, my brother in Arceus. What do you mean by making music is inaccessible?? I learned through watching 360p YouTube videos on a barely working laptop with totally legal software as a high schooler 😭 Made this using AI? Nah man, that’s actual fraud behavior. No respect for the art or yourself

This is why people are unbelievably easy marks for anything that gives a whiff of nostalgia.

A cheetah’s spine works like a spring-loaded coil, flexing and extending to propel it forward. This turns every stride into a burst of acceleration up to 60 mph. Want to learn more about cheetahs? Watch our video with Dr. Laurie Marker from the @cheetah.org here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=d65h...

Hey so all fashion is political. One of the reasons I put a Trans Rights patch on my vest is because I went to a counter protest of a far right rally and spotted a guy dressed exactly like me. The last thing I want is for someone like that to think they're welcome in my spaces based on my outfit.

Sounds like it sucks in every possible way then, so into the trash with it

An easy way to explain luddites: Textile manufacturers brought in machines that could do in an hour what would have taken 12 hours by hand. And then, tried to keep paying the now 12x more productive workers the same wages as before. That's it, that was the problem luddites had. Not complex.

In a surprise to absolutely none of the autistic community ❤️

oh they gave me a blue check now I can say how I REALLY feel!!! trans rights free Palestine housing is a human right universal health care for all six hour day for eight hours pay mandatory minimum wage raises that track to rent & cost of living protect the oceans & the rivers and bring back Jujubes

A cool thing I just realized. Bluesky’s positivity algorithm means if you are replying to brands or companies with about their treatment of workers, how their products are poor quality or have ethical issues your reply will likely be hidden because it’s not “positive” Fun!

1859: Abolitionist John Brown is the 1st American executed for treason. His crime? Freeing the enslaved And the 2nd? Aaron Dwight Stevens, 29yo. Served Brown during the attempted slave revolt at Harpers Ferry, VA A stark reminder that legality is not always a measure of justice, but power.

a lot has been said about Jack Skellington as allegory for cultural appropriation (I definitely wasn't the first) but there's also a lot to be said about Jack Skellington as clueless tech billionaire

It's that giving time of year again, so this is a reminder that no matter how they try to dress it up, the Salvation Army is not a charity.
