Ro Khanna's been sucking up to literal nazis in India for years because he knows his voters don't pay attention to things like that and justified it with the same bullshit faux-outrage, this is a game he's played for longer than Trump has been in politics

Ro Khanna is not stupid, he's. a scumbag who never met a group he didnt want to use to benefit himself, he's literally just a wannabe Gavin Newsom

ALSO. ALSO. Needing us to find Europeans who condemned him for his actions at the time--and there are many! So many! My God so many!--is also some white supremacist bullshit, because the TAINO PEOPLE HE WAS MURDERING CERTAINLY CONDEMNED HIM FOR IT AND THEY WERE HUMAN BEINGS OF HIS TIME TOO.

Half the people gooning over beep boop plagiarism wank machine nonsense haven’t paid their dues in the fanfic mines and it shows 💅

It’s been trained on all the porn before it, so it’s intrinsically linked to all that previous exploitation and rather than work through legalisation, workers rights and worker protections your answer is to run people out of a means of making money… in a capitalist society.

If you want porn centred on narrative, AO3 is right the fuck there, and full of Porn For Nerds (complimentary) whereas AI will only ever give you Porn For Nerds (derogatory).

nothing says "not exploited" like having your work stolen

this should really help that psychosis thing

You know, it's funny you mention this because here in Memphis, being trans rarely raises an eyebrow, but being a *lesbian?* Displaying affection for your partner? *Especially* with a kid in tow? Oh, the middle-aged white women do not like that, and they'll make their displeasure known

I do not appreciate Lay's trying to gentrify the potato chip as the potato becomes the only affordable produce

If I wasn’t meant to store stuff in my cleavage, it wouldn’t be called a rack

I wrote a trilogy of novels published by HarperCollins about a brother and sister caught on opposite sides of the war to unite Viking Age Norway. Today is my birthday and if you are inclined to share this, it would be a lovely present! The first: www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-half-d...

I will consider this a definitive answer to the question

yesterday on twitter, some of the biggest far right doxxing users were suspended and then elon musk caught wind, and reinstated them. get everyone you can off twitter. it is firmly a pro-doxxing-if-you’re-far-right platform

Damn, folks. This left-wing political correctness on campus at (*checks notes*) … er, Indiana University? — is out of control.

Genuinely a wonder of evolution. Biological tanks. In addition to all of this, they eat ANYTHING, can get fat off nothing but fucking acorns and every toxin or bad thing they eat goes right into that protective layer of fat armor up to and including fucking radiation.

Yeah I've been to medical school

hell yeah dude fucking sue these dipshits trying to get like, Oryx and Crake and shit out of school libraries. ruin their lives. make examples of them to all the other lead-poisoned facebook users who have nothing better to do www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

chatgpt? whatever. I’m giving myself internet psychosis the old fashioned way: finding an unhinged individual and falling down a rabbit hole of trying to figure out whatever tf they’re doing

this would not be *my* immediate response to seeing a dead raccoon in my yard but the human experience is vast

The cycle of homelessness and criminalization

Rich people will always be the cause of human misery.

Truest thing ever said on this site

Secondary killjoy in money troubles: things you bought years ago weaponized as retroactive proof of irresponsibility—for having ever spent money on joy—by people who think you can pawn a toaster to pay a bill Like this here glass of 15yo Jade Verte Suisse 1898

As a reminder: these kinds of levels and exams are completely made up and typically children who go through traumatic events (earthquake, hurricanes, war) are considered to have experienced a disrupted education. We've given our children no such grace.

Not that *I* find it unhinged, but some people do: There is no inherently superior form or genre of literature. You can find crap in all of them and absolute masterworks too.

Ancestor with thick European accent: Werder Jorgensen Processor whose hearing was severely damaged due to an explosion: Spelling? Ancestor: …? Processor: Welcome to America Warren Jensen! Literal thing that happened to my ex-father in law’s ancestor. HE WROTE IT DOWN.

I could see that for me. I could see me as a skeleton in car for instance. Skeleton in a theater sure sure. Skeleton in a McDonalds yep I could see that.

We got here before Ellis Island and our surname got changed every time there was a census because phonetics! There's a whole grafted branch of the family tree because a Russian family arrived with a similar name and phonetics happened!

Why do uhh, why does she think so many irish people left for america

You can easily say that descendants of Italian, Irish and Jewish immigrants to America today face radically less levels of systemic discrimination than their ancestors did in the 1800’s without being like “and actually that discrimination never even existed”. Erasing that history is genuinely insane

Alternatives to NY Times Games & Puzzles 🧵 If it bothers you that your passive games subscription and clicks to the NYT Games cartel is funding their awful OpEd army and "journalism," there are a wealth of puzzle/game options less iffy/yikes complicit, and many are direct clones to your NYT faves.

Most "classics" are boring as fuck to a modern reader in no small part because the context of the story is not understood by them and so many of the allusions and "inside jokes" known to then-contemporary readers have been lost in time and in translation

Even today, there are ppl whose names show up differently on different documents. This is why "no match" voter clauses are so evil and effective. If you're Thai? Forget about it.

Breaking: Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, the legendary transgender activist and veteran of the Stonewall uprising who dedicated her life to the liberation of trans people, especially Black trans women, has died at 78.

Games already claimed 👀 Fit to Print Guild of Merchant Explorers Inis + Seasons of Inis exp Next Station: London The Golden Ages + exp Twilight Inscription Wyrmspan Still 50+ games left on the list!

This is why I get so exasperated when people suggest SF written 50+ years ago as the place for new readers of the genre, especially young readers, to start with. There is SO MUCH that will throw them out of the work, from outdated tech to outdated social structures. They'll leave and not come back.

gene kelly is antifa

My other literature opinion is... You know those humorless librarians in the 1990s and 2000s who warned that the Harry Potter craze would yield kids who only read Harry Potter? And how they were mocked as shriveled old killjoys? Told that HP was a doorway to reading? Apology when?

this girl Gloria who got into my local newspaper for seeing Titanic 50 times in Rome and who I have remembered since reading about her in 1998

All I know is that Switzerland should have to take me back

Lots of us have great-grandparents names who were absolutely changed when they came here, and when people say otherwise, they're assuming your great-grandparents name was in the Roman alphabet.
