Watching some of these evangelical influencers giddily describe how they’re prepping for the big day certainly gives me flashbacks to being a kid terrified his parents had been raptured & he left behind anytime they were late home from work in a pre cell phone era+

Personally, I believe we should talk about the payment corporation censorship in the same terms as Net Neutrality. Make it Payment Neutrality. Payment providers should not be able to discriminate based on what the payment is for. Ever.

I'm old enough to remember when the narrative was that the US was solving the climate crisis and China is the problem because it uses coal. Now the narrative is that China is solving the climate crisis, but this is bad, while the US is currently denying that climate change is even a thing.

What's the matter babe you've barely touched your event horizon ribs

nothing like "why aren't you listening to me" when it is the singular thing you are trying everything in your power to do

Sorry I lost your dog, he hit a speed boost arrow & that’s the last I saw him

fun fact: far from being some serious publication for conservative academics, the Economist was explicitly founded as a propaganda rag to argue against reforms that might've saved millions of Irish people from starving to death during the Hunger it is an ass rag for capitalist genocide launderers

Genuinely powerful words to live by.

ok mr smart guy then why don't you tell me what the "appropriate" level of pyrotechnics for a funeral is

we have gone from a world in which we were told not to cite wikipedia because it was unreliable to a world where wikipedia might be the only reliable source left on the internet and we all owe a lot to the pedantic nerds who got us there

I'm not loving how every failed presidential candidate gets paid the entire budget of the publishing industry that year to write a book called I Learned Nothing

Furries are to social media what amphibians are to ecosystems -- a bellwether of health. If furries aren't thriving on a platform, that platform is doomed to stagnation and heat death.

when i came back home there was a sticker on my door with an ad for a locksmith brother, you want to impress me, put it on the *inside* of the door

not convinced by this "dyson sphere" thing. there's gotta be a way to make a star boil water to turn a turbine instead

Every company that capitulated to this administration needs to be broken up through anti-trust laws. They need to be broken up anyway, but this would be an easy way to prioritize the most corrupt.

a chilling warning to america from 2004 !

almost more insulting than when the AI steps in on and over your web search to give you the wrong answer is when the AI steps in and uses twenty gigawatt-hours and increases the entropy of the universe more than any single person could hope to all to tell you "i don't know"

seeing another rash of voter blaming and i wonder how people reconcile this with all the times dem senators - in deep blue states, even - that people voted for and put into office decided to give unanimous consent to GOP shit so they could go on vacation. they voted 'correctly', and yet, get nothing

The FBI is preparing to label transgender people as “violent extremists” in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s murder: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/fbi-readie...

stop whining, vote however you want, get in front of a camera and make some noise about the government canceling Kimmel

I think about “I have approximate knowledge of many things.” more and more as of late.

Hell fucking yes dude, this is worse than Phillip K. Dick shit

Say it with me: we would not be seeing this authoritarian censorship takeover in the United States, had both parties, the media and elite institutions not already greased the path with the muzzling of speech on Palestine.

They are literally canceling culture

james cameron walks up to whiteboard with TOEJAM and EARL written on it. he erases the "and" and writes Vs.

Imagine a world in which your employer, and prospective employers, had access to this data. Imagine a world in which you were fired, or denied employment, because of a statistical modeling of your likelihood to develop a serious illness in five years, in ten years.

ive said it before and ill say it again

The remarks weren’t “about Charlie Kirk,” they were about how this administration is using Kirk’s death as an excuse to shut down critics … and they responded by proving him completely correct.

what I'm learning from the fact that every one of these decisions has a "huge merger waiting to be approved" factor is that we should no longer allow mergers sorry, you can't buy any other companies anymore, too dangerous to civil society only antitrust breakups allowed

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

Happy 6th Anniversary to AI the Somnium Files!!! 🥺💜 I love this game so much!! I can't believe it's already been so long since it came out!! 😭 Here's one of the first ever photos I got of my Kaname Date cosplay to celebrate!🎉 #aitsf

Report: You To Be Fired For Reading This Headline About Charlie Kirk

This mf’er is a hugely unpopular lame duck and people and institutions with actual power are out here acting, for eight months straight, like he’s some goddam immortal emperor. Fuck that noise.

unfortunately the only footage they could find of charlie kirk not saying evil things was when a pint of blood was gushing out of his neck like a fountain

a key reason they see an opening for such a blatant speech crackdown is that they already did one to Palestinian and anti-genocide activists and it got enthusiastic bipartisan approval
