Emphasizing this excellent point: speaking only positively of any health condition isolates people who are really suffering. Even if it isn’t a policy, discouraging people from talking honestly about conditions, treatment, etc endangers people at the highest risk to protect people from discomfort.

one of the ten best shows of all time

There are some incredibly vital issues at this moment in time that go beyond like, oh we disagree on marginal tax rates but we can still be friendly. Trans rights are one of those issues. Trans rights are human rights and those are not negotiable. (see also: genocide; fascism. not unrelated!)

This week’s episode of the Hollywood Handbook podcast, featuring guest Demi Lardner getting sick mid-podcast, running back and forth to the bathroom to puke, and everyone else trying to improvise around it is one of the funniest, most harrowing listens I’ve ever had.

And on the subject of #realartatters: AI poisoning tool NIGHTSHADE is now free for artists to use: venturebeat.com/ai/nightshad...

well that’s a funny little bit of happenstance

Friends (esp if you live in CA) we REALLY need signatures on this petition supporting Bill AB412 - the AI Copyright Transparency Act. TLDR = this will require AI corps to be transparent about what is in their datasets! Signing takes 1 min. Once you sign, PLEASE SHARE!! tinyurl.com/4uxbp963

Donkey Kong Bananza answers the important question of whether you can solve all of your problems by punching things (you can)

Anyways I got high and saw DEVO

When I was a kid (like 5,6) I would sneak out of bed and watch Carson and Letterman. I probably often didn’t even know what I was watching, but it was funny and felt like a whole beautiful weird world. Still does when it’s done right.

Bro, you gotta block that guy, not because he sucks, but because he’s only here to get you to say stuff to him that will get you in legal trouble.

Hideo Kojima is brave enough to give the world what it needs: hot gamer underwear

I just want to be in a joke band where we make little joke songs that are 20 seconds long. Thank you.

WA's new Democratic governor vowing to veto new taxes on the rich that would fund major increases in public school funding is just all kinds of disappointing and appalling. Especially since voters strongly support those taxes!

It's also the day for my favorite meme! If this aging Klingon warrior can get it right, so can anyone.

Kupperman has been making me laugh for like 20+ years. Check this stuff out. I regularly think about things like "Long John Silver's Party Sex Blimp" from the old Snake N' Bacon comics compliations. Highly recommend as funny and entertaining coffee table material

My trans friends are so fucking cool and smart and funny and I'm incredibly lucky to have them in my life. Trans rights forever!

there’s a bill on the floor rn to outlaw gender affirming care for minors in washington, PLEASE go to this link and select "oppose." takes 30 sec. examples on stuff to say in thread! app.leg.wa.gov/pbc/bill/1038

The 5 anti-trans bills in the #WALeg are all sponsored solely by WA GOP members. While that's a good sign that they will die without a vote, it's an important reminder that even in our strongly blue state, MAGA Republicans here are still every bit as transphobic as their national faction.

reading all these posts about David Lynch and it brings home how great art is so fulfilling and enriching to all our lives - the AI bros will never understand

Now that it is tax season I remind everyone: DO NOT USE TURBOTAX. THEY WERE REMOVED FROM THE IRS FREE FILE SYSTEM AND ARE NOT BOUND TO THOSE RULES. Instead, if you make $84k or less a year, use any of the IRS Free File options found here: www.irs.gov/filing/irs-f...

I know I've shared this before, but this is a recording of an Icelandic scholar reading a poem the way they think a Viking would have recited it and it's so fascinating to hear, so here it is again.
