a lot of people debating the merits of that dogshit essay meanwhile the girl’s mom is retweeting demands to ban all trans people from teaching at any level. it’s forest for the trees shit

the deep oceans of fanfic on the internet are so great because, yeah, apparently everybody *does* have a novel in them! it just turns out that a lot of those novels are about transformers being gay together

lol remember when they were pretending you could make GTA6 "In 6 months with a team of 10" and AI would handcraft you five Oscar-worthy films daily with single-sentence prompts Now it's "This jiggly AI slut never says no"

One point that may have been lost: I’ve never seen this ad before. It’s only when I searched for Mexican folk music tonight that YouTube started running it. Google’s surveillance technology has enabled the government to selectively terrorize specific groups in service of white supremacy.

that's just what happens when you let one of these things hatch

In just over six hours (8:40am Hamburg time), it will be the exact moment 80 years ago when these Germans found out the penalty for executing survivors of a ship sinking.

I named my fists Chekhov and Gun because you know they're coming but you don't know when

I have refined The uranium That was in The centrifuge And which You were probably Saving For power generation Forgive me It was so powerful I am Become death

I named my fists left and other left, because it’s important to know which is which.

Show this to your anti-vaxx, what-about-pawtism relatives and convince them to watch this heartwarming movie you just heard of called Cujo

Rabbitrabbit?

"strong floor, no ceiling" implies that the democrats intend to abandon the big tent, and instead opt for a sort of open-air patio situation, which sounds like a huge skin cancer risk

I can no longer send "tips" to the FBI because they figured out I was just tricking them into listening to my demo tape

This is fucked up & factually incorrect. 1. MAGA is a fully American thing. We need to own our own shit, not exotify it. 2. MAGA is GLUTTED with suburban middle-class-and-higher ppl. It ain't hillbilly SHIT. ✨️Stop using "rural" as shorthand for "bigot."✨️ - an old hick queer.

Rural communities in Appalachia were on the verge of breaking ground on billions of dollars' worth of clean-energy projects when the grants were paused or terminated by DOGE. All over Appalachia people will be hit hard by cuts to Medicaid, veterans affairs, food aid, education & more.

We talked about this in my class. People (& lenders!) need to have credible information about climate risk to their homes. However the way it is done right now, if at all, has lots of uncertainty. A home could be categorized as low-risk when it’s high risk, & vice versa! NOAA should do this service.

god, listening to the ads on the radio is so depressing, almost every ad is just 'GAMBLE GAMBLE GAMBLE!! BINGO!!SCRATCHCARDS!!BETTING!! DESPERATE FOR MONEY?? THIS IS THE ONLY WAY!! TAKE UP GAMBLING TODAY!!' and the only other type of ad is 'Are you in crippling credit card debt? Call us today...'

Weirdly, this is all part of a 50-year-long plan to get their parents back together

Doing anything after 5pm at this time of year is absurd.

Sure, they've made an environmentally catastrophic mass hallucination disinformation plagiarism Clippy that will destabilize the world, but also their other goal is to replace human workers entirely and let us humans starve. A boycott of AI is the most important boycott of your entire life.

Man who cheated by paying others to play video games & level up his characters because he thought imaginary numbers mattered, rather than the time, work, skill or talent...

"Whether you lab partner is a witch or not does not affect the pH of the solution, so it's not appropriate to include in the lab report."

I'd have been a lot less kind grading this than the instructor at OU was, TPUSA not exactly beating the "affirmative action for white Christians" allegations here

Still vaguely disappointed artists went with 'dungeon synth' instead of midi-eval

Was in the mood to make a dungeon synth album cover.

I'm still £509 short for rent and it's due tomorrow so I'm getting desperate. If you subscribe to my patreon you get something back in return but if you can support me in any way at all I would be extraordinarily grateful. paypal.me/fightingpride ko-fi.com/fightingpride

today is the FINAL DAY to get things from my shop before it closes!!!

6 years today the first COVID case was identified in a man in Wuhan marking the beginning of a global pandemic that changed the world. We are way less prepared today to face another pandemic than we were back then. This fact makes me sad.

I think that evolutionary psychology needs to face a cultural reckoning over the fact that its funding lines (Epstein-tied) coincide with a public history of advocacy for "its adaptive for men to have a harem full of nubile females"

I keep a running media log, but every year in October, my brain says, "Let's completely change the way we do this" and I've got to spend 3 months fighting off that voice to finish out the year properly.

If powerful forces can't get their bills passed the right way through the legislature, should they be able to come in at the 11th hour to save them?

Which I think is a good sign they are really losing the cultural battle. Also that last part is absolutely not true. Every artist hates a bunch of people sometimes including close friends of theirs.

Anecdotally on twitter seeing a big shift the last few days from every AI slop account saying every other creative field is “over” and they’re in control now to now posting about how nobody likes them and it’s not fair and they’ll persevere and real artists respect and uplift eachother

God will never give you more than you can handle, unless you were born in the wrong place or don't have money. That makes god super mad.

—why can’t a librarian find it?! This lady was adamant. She definitely remembered because the chat thing her son showed her how to use reminded her. It’s planting memories. Of course it is! Human memory is fallible, and she’s been led to believe this is a trustworthy thing.

Friend starts searching everywhere, finds nothing. She has done children’s services for years, so finding zero trace at all is pretty unusual. She calls the lady, who immediately starts yelling that she was trying to remember so she typed it into a certain chat service and it reminded her, so—

Wake up babe, a new way to be horrified by AI just dropped. Talking to a librarian friend back home, she mentions a patron looking for help finding a book she liked as a kid. Super common request. Lady is adamant the title is “something like XYZ and there’s a picture of a rabbit on it.”

maybe i am going insane

make movies horny again

Suggestion has been made that this 'a chaste kiss, eventually' is the writer referencing how queer romance used to be handled as warning not to expect that, rather than an argument for it I think the article should have been much clearer if they didn't want phones & fuck-yous thrown

"Don't follow illegal orders" would be more meaningful if Democrats had prosecuted literally any of the prominent war criminals of the last 30 years instead of, you know, fucking campaigning with them

Bolsonaro may die in prison. Bangladesh's PM was just sentenced to death for ordering last year's brutal crackdown. Are any politicians running on a "We gotta start stacking these fascists like fucking cordwood" platform?

I'm also reminded of a study that found that men in university who were accused of rape were actually HELPED ACADEMICALLY by the accusation, because universities gave them so goddamned many extra resources and accomodations. Poor little birthday boys helped through THEIR difficult time.

Years ago, my colleagues at Business Insider and I tracked YouTuber “cancellation” arcs. What we found is that for many entertainers, “cancellation” actually sets the stage for a redemption arc, one that can raise their profile higher than ever. It wasn’t career-ending. It was fuel.

He’s threatening a fake cartel in a country sitting on a ton of oil while freeing an actual narcotrafficking ex-president who he likes. This isn’t hard to understand unless you want to make it hard to understand.

just a reminder to all my soup-maker comrades out there that if you don't already, adding bay leaf to your soups will change your life
