Autocorrect has become our worst enema.

saturation with Tolkien spinoffs has somehow not prepared our culture for the arrival of dark lords bearing a gift that everyone becomes convinced they can wield to accomplish great things but just makes them dependent and start whispering about preciouses if you suggest just throwing it away

when I was young, i used to wonder how people like this would fare in life, as they didn't seem suited for gainful employment. it turns out, the internet allowed them to accumulate a massive audience of similar idiots, enriching them and turning them into a presidential advisor

Time to make some enemies! No one asked, but here's a list of invasive products / businesses I would personally very much like to see BANNED from Furry Convention Dealers Dens, Maker's Markets and Artist Alleys. These are rare and valuable markets built by REAL craftspeople over decades, NOT for:

An ICE employee was among 16 men arrested after trying to solicit a minor for sex in Bloomington, Minnesota, police say "When he was arrested, he said, 'I'm ICE, boys,'" Bloomington Police Chief Booker Hodges said during a press conference. "Well, unfortunately for him, we locked him up."

“Atoms! 1,2,3,4,5,6 of them! Take him away!”

Just heard re: some ICE agents who raided a Chicago taqueria, then went back to the same taqueria for lunch the following week and got confused when the owner kicked them out, and I realized "jesus these doofuses really do believe we're all living in a video game where the NPCs have no memory"

"I am Spartacus" except everyone is admitting to felony sexual assault of a minor

on further wandering, it really does come down to whether a place is built and scaled for humans

Wizards of the Coast is evil, but even they wouldn't do THIS.

Some great charts on #AI from the Wall Street Journal. t.ly/xvvbw "AI products would have to create an additional $650 billion a year, indefinitely, to give investors a reasonable 10% annual return. That’s more than 150% of Apple’s yearly revenue"

Yes! 👏 No monarchs! Privatize ceremonial royalty! Disband the House of Lords!

Employment is slavery. Having a boss subjugates you. The relationship is pseudo-feudal at best. You cannot participate in society as equals when someone holds your livelihood over your head. Poverty is violence. Using hunger or cold to punish disobedience is no different than beating someone.

learning that there are a lot of ppl on here who are unfamiliar with the late john mcafee's posts

JD Vance owns a company that buys American real estate and sells it to foreign investors. They specifically target Americans in crisis to buy their property for less than it is worth.

GIVE THAT FAIRY A HONKIN-BIG SWORD!!! XD #CriticalRole #CriticalRoleSpoilers #CriticalRolefanart

Unfortunately, hitting your head only makes you worse, not better. It isn't like flipping a switch, cartoon evidence notwithstanding.

"babies are born worshipping unknown gods" is one of the most incredible dwarf fortress bugs i have heard of. its poetry.

“Anything that goes before POTUS needs to be vetted,” said the person present for Pulte’s poster presentation. “And a lot of times with Pulte they’re not. He just goes straight up to POTUS.” Real mad king situation in the White House. Man believes the last person he talked to.

when I ran the McDonald’s drive-thru as a teenager, a general manager told me I should have the food ready by the time the car pulled up to the second window - and be holding it out, smiling as they approached; my regular manager told us to ignore her, because nobody should do that for $4.15/hr

if you are food insecure for both the humans and pets in your household there is a tool called Pet Help Finder that can help locate pet food banks nearby and other free or reduced price assistance and supplies for pets. no one, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, should have to give up their pet bc of this.

They’re not going to make noise about it, because they’ve been part of stoking the trans panic to distract from their predation on children.

If your neighbors are hungry, feed them. Then riot for them.

Wow, you had a dream about the Ever Maw? Me too! What are the odds? Pretty sure it's just a metaphor for capitalism tho

The world would be immensely better if more religions and their believers had even a tenth of the dedication the Sikhs do to doing good for people with no gatekeeping or expectations of anything other than "you are a fellow human in need and we can help you"

I still remember my anthropology professor’s favorite joke from college: “What did Watson and Crick discover?” “Rosalind Franklin’s notes.”

Perhaps this isn't an orb we should be gazing into.

The haters said they couldn't do it. And they were right. Honestly, great call from the haters.

babe wake up they just subpoenaed Sam Altman in front of a live audience

Trump talking about affordability as he moves to starve Americans, make healthcare too expensive for 20 million+ Americans, and generates record job losses is pretty vile. He has done everything to make things less affordable for everyone but himself and the billionaire broligarchy.

I am not a military strategist, but I have a vague memory that not feeding the troops was one of those big fuck-ups that Sun Tzu talked about.

So in 2025, a minimum wage worker at $7.25/hr 2025 dollars at McDonald's has to work over an hour to afford a big Mac meal. In 1974, that minimum wage worker at $2/hr 1974 dollars was making twice as much money, and could buy 2 with one hour's wages.

heads up to anyone who holds trans kids near: amy harmon from the nyt is searching for and having a hard time finding people to interview to find out exactly what trans kids are doing when their care is limited or cut off, and for purposes of community safety, please shut the fuck up around her.

Hey! Former Starbucks worker here (still have scars from 2nd degree burns), please don't cross this picket line. Starbucks is a chronic union-buster. There are so many wonderful local coffee shops to support instead. Make your support for Union Starbucks stores known until *& then after* a strike! 🖤

Gavin Newsom is the Philippe Petain of our time.

The billionaires can buy the newspapers and buy social media and buy attack ads, but they can't buy their way out of how much we fucking hate all of them.

Learning that Dick Cheney Died and Zohran won both in the same day… I failed NNN #nonnutnovember

this is a reminder that we dont have to settle for newsom in 2028

Anyways too tired to properly lay out the argument but you get the point: business owners would often rather the firm go under than their workers have a union, it's the same principle here (which op understands I just wanted to lay out it explicitly) Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

I think about this a lot in terms of union stuff (chatted with @vickyacab.bsky.social about it recently) companies would rather light any amount of resources on fire than have anyone else be able to have a single morsel of autonomy and control over their capital Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

The real lesson is to put an actual hard number on income categories instead of shit like "the top 10%." People ALWAYS massively overestimate what percentile they're in, but a hard number for comparison lets them say oh yeah, fuck the rich, I ain't ever gonna see that number in my life.

Zohran's success will hinge equally on what he is ABLE to do and how effectively he messages to voters when the federal govt of wealthy interests / police, etc in NYC deliberately sabotage things. we've seen this shit in oregon with elites lining up to torpedo progressive measures

i think about this william gibson quote a lot
