“Claude, I think we’re gonna have to kill this guy” “You’re absolutely right!”

ME: i just saw a girl sitting on a tuffet eating curds WIFE: no way ME: no just curds

Great culture can save lives. Literally. Amazing letter in today’s @thetimes.com about Tom Stoppard

A rare taste question with a specific objectively correct answer my favorites are also the best: O Holy Night / Fairytale of New York. Other choices are simply wrong.

I should be asleep right now, but I’m not, because of woke.

Autistic social norms, you get it or you don’t lmao.

Nah, Woodstock’s like “oh good you got him” that bird owed him money.

“well look who decided to come out of his room”

“Still punk as fuck,” I whisper at the kid’s table

It’s 6 *times* 7

the true poster composes their post knowing they are already ratiod

Neurodiversity *is* queerness. For extra spice: autism is an advanced form of gender, we really don’t recommend it for your first character.

Once you earn a goth girl’s trust, you may feed her Mike & Ikes straight from your hand

Mamdani going so hard for trans right and winning is some juicy proof that every dem that abandoned us didn’t do it for politically advantageous reasons. They did it because they’re transphobes and they will lose for it

WOW

lots of people know Łink from what he did to promote alt text usage here. this tip about pretending you’re describing an image over the phone has been burned in my brain since i saw it

…they banned *Link*?

I asked a Christian baker to write Charlie Kirk on a gay wedding cake and we've been staring at each other for 39 straight hours now

Claiming that an autistic person doing activism is just attention seeking is so crazy cause like have you ever tried to get us to care about anything we don’t give a shit about

Fitzgerald said: “I thought that childhood was a game that I had to win, so I’ve been doggedly copying everyone around me. Now, everyone thinks I’m normal, except they all still seem to hate me a little bit, for reasons I can’t quite put my finger on.”

frame: democrats are to blame for a government shutdown negation: no, actually republicans are to blame for the shutdown kirby:

I can make the following statement because this is what multiple studies have shown: If your child has is on the autism spectrum, it is NOT because you took Acetaminophen while you were pregnant. ACETAMINOPHEN. DOES. NOT. CAUSE. AUTISM. There’s no proven causal link. There is NOT.

Just a reminder before the “big announcement” today. Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943. Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s. Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.

Given that the American regime is going to be saying some stupid shit about autism today, I want to circulate this essay as a sort of inoculation. please read and, if you learned something, share it with the people in your life.

So I'm just looking at some of the posts I bookmarked the old fashioned way, and rediscovered this. Check it out:

stagflation is when we don't have enough doe

The punchline at the end of this is definitely worth it.

Incredible power move, no notes.

game genres are so fuzzy and confusing...what's an Action Adventure game?? what do you actually do in an RPG?? to fix this, i got together with loads of my lovely friends to create a much more descriptive classification system. all games can be neatly placed into the New Genres

The #HugoAward for Best Game or Interactive Work goes to Caves of Qud.

The Name of the Rose (Umberto Eco, 1980)

(newsie voice) beltway brats beat big balls bad

I lost my Mom to pancreatic cancer when I was 19. She was only 47. My grandmother also died from it at 53. When Mom was diagnosed, she sat me down and said she knew exactly what I was feeling because she felt the same way when her Mom was dying. 🧵

I'm afraid that humans simply can't stand the pain of having been wrong about this genocide, and that that their efforts to avoid the horror of self-reflection is having&will have horrific consequences. If I prayed, I'd pray for the ability to face myself, even when I've been catastrophically wrong.

Like fuck that show for a long list of reasons but like, they took their shot.

well’p, this is a thought I hadn’t had yet & now I’m mad

This is so fucking good

I think… I think Tony Gilroy did a Hamlet with Andor. I think the whole thing is actually seeking to identify a criminal by depicting the crime in a “play” and having the criminal pay to distribute it and then watch it. Claudius is Empire, which for us means Disney and Congress and We The People.

My proctologist:

I think I am gonna do the biggest social thing I have done since Covid. I can’t keep being this isolated. So I think I am going to attend vibecamp. I’m TPOT-adjacent at best, and I certainly have my critiques of that scene, but also I rather suspect that I will find some of my people there.

*whispers* Cassian Andor is real

My god, Andor. Just. A whole episode about creating a moment for a sitting senator to use the word “genocide” in-session.

Unfortunately we're no longer allowed to respond to insane posts with the comment "we live in a society" because we don't anymore

the number of times i was told i did not really want a simple chronological feed

This seems totally reasonable. I can’t imagine anything important is happening with ACE (the system that you need to use to report imports) this week.
