So much more about Newsom's politics makes sense when one realizes his son is a nazi and rather than being a cause for serious intervention, he sees that as cool, authentic and worth impressing.

A note I found yesterday while walking in Portland.

I can promise you Trump does not respect you enough to do a false flag op to get his ballroom onside, he's building it no matter what you think or want

"We love to blame the people who take radical acts, because by condemning them we forgive ourselves for our comparative lack of action. Conspiracy thinking, in these cases, is a way of abdicating moral responsibility."

Spread calm. The most useful and experienced demonstrators yell "walk!" to stop crowds from running in fear. The most useful and experienced people try to spread calm. It doesn't get the clicks, but it doesn't immobilize people's thinking either.

this is what all the social media in the Purge movies looks like

Pour one out for the Hilton staff who are working perhaps the worst shift in food service history rn.

truly learning to play an instrument and play on stage in front of people has so humbling AND it’s done wonders for my confidence, resilience, and self esteem. did you fuck something up in front of the whole bar? and survive? and people still clapped? life changing

This is NOT AI. These are green dragontail butterflies (Lamproptera meges), native to S & SE Asia. They compensate for undersized wings with long 'swallowtails' to generate lift. Butterflies that fly in cursive, swimming like fish through the air. (📷: Center for Biological Diversity)

next dem president needs to have a bulletproof plan to throw Elon in jail, expropriate all of his wealth, and ensure he is never allowed to do any of this ever again.

time to play the game no one never signed up for: Is This Food Poisoning, A Stomach Bug, Or Did I Get Glutened? - Round #781

An excellent overview that peeks at one of the most evil and yet most banal parts of pushing AI adoption in education: the push for AI is the push to make money for corporate stakeholders. Full stop. It is evil. And like most ed "transformations" the idiots making it can't even imagine use cases

I believe in liberation in our lifetime.

the quality of my life can often be measured by how many must-do daily tasks i have going on at any moment and right now mine are: - brush teeth at least once - drink an amount of water greater than 2 vessels - eat some goddamn fiber - cry - eat - sleep workwise i just moving the mouse

i am on le struggle tonight— but by got, i’m gonna eat some fiber

It's easy to succumb to outrage fatigue. But this was four days ago. 2,000 killed. 1.2 million displaced. Entire villages demolished. A 40km 'buffer zone' (10% of Lebanon's territory) annexed. It's barely raised a resigned shrug, but it meets the criteria for war crime. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This Is Just To Say I have turned off the AI features that were in the update and which you were probably hoping to monetize Fuck you they were stupid so unnecessary and so annoying

Saying "no man, you don't get to win this time" to evil people who have the power of the entire corrupt government behind them has to feel pretty fucking good

Brutal polling when it comes to public opinion among Democratic voters on the topic of Israel: Source: x.com/forecasteren...

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

Write the easiest bit first

The difference between Palantir and the techno madman in a Bond movie is the average Bond villain is less insufferable.

Worrye not about 'being productive,' for thou art not a product. Thou art a star daunsinge yn a hopeful skye. A signal blinking across centuryes and worldes. Thou art a song performid just once and perfectlye.

Trump is reported close to a "deal" with himself under which US taxpayers would pay him $10 billion. I served in multiple communist and authoritarian dictatorships, but I never witnessed corruption on this scale or this blatant.

Elon Musk basically accused Trump of being a pedophile and then got dinner with him again a few months later. Joe Rogan acted shocked and dismayed about ICE and Iran and now he’s standing behind Trump in the Oval Office. These guys only care about holding onto power through any means necessary

Building Big Brother is expensive.

2024: "The endgame is not Mastodon, Bluesky, or Threads. The endgame is finding communities on the web and following them all on the best platform for you." Aging pretty well, honestly. Probably going to age even better as time goes on.

Instagram is only letting like 1 percent of our followers see our posts and automatically hiding any comments we make on others' posts while we've also been hearing from spotify users that the app is suppressing our account. I suppose pissing off the tech overlords means we're doing something right

Dilley is evil and must be closed. It's a goddamn concentration camp. A moral abomination. People are going to Hell over this.

I don’t know any of the lore but I can say that no one has turned more of my friends gay the last couple years than Paige Bueckers has. So, salute to these two.
