i am tired of having to listen to dumb assholes just because they have a lot of money

it is increasingly clear that the NYer is being paid to do unlabeled sponsored content for AI companies. almost every issue they have a big feature that either lies about the capabilities of AI in a positive way, or lies about it in an alarmist way that still is designed to make it sound powerful

It says that you are a “small businessman” but I have evidence that you are in fact over six feet tall. Explain?

Someone out there decided it would be a good idea to put a German Shepherd in charge of babysitting a bunch of Doberman puppies and they were 100% correct

Imagine asking someone if they wanted to go get sushi and they said no.

Most games will end at checkmate, but if you manage to actually capture an opponent's king you're allowed to unscrew its cap and drink its Chess Oil

it's just a spinning beach ball between my ears

Trans women are losing their rights because a majority of cis white privileged women voted in the majority for the regime taking them away. Trans Black women are the most murdered. 92% of cis Black women voted to protect all trans women.

They are not pushing back against specific DEI hiring policies or practices. They’re purging women and people of color while screaming “DEI!” Reporting on it as if it’s actually about DEI is journalistic malpractice.

Why does women's perfume smell like flowers and longing whilst men's cologne smellike thumb tacks and regret?

my “chatgpt helps keep teens safe by default” ad has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my ad

a troubling trend: when my mother's face is behind her hands, it no longer exists. yet when she moves her hands, her face is born anew

Never go to bed angry at your Al Pacino body pillow.

But it's not about race. Just like nothing's ever about race. Because that would be racist, right? And America's never been a racist nation. All that racism was just a coincidence. apnews.com/article/new-...

Ants have no ears. The bladder grasshopper (shown) has 12 ears, arranged on its flanks. The preying mantis has exactly one, on its underbelly. The katydid has two "human-like" ears on their knees. Insects, in other words, got WEIRD about EARS. (📷: DesignOwn3977)

Realizing I’m somewhere on the audhd spectrum has made things that always seemed like non sequiturs suddenly make sense. Neurotypical whimsy!

“According to the Baltimore Sun, a 2015 fundraiser planned for the six police officers charged in the death of Freddie Gray was canceled because Berger was going to be the entertainment. It was called “racist and in poor taste.”” Every paragraph of this story is wild.

Wemby: “I refuse to carry the burden of having to hide my emotions.” This is amazing.

2. Callais functionally overturns Congress's command that states like Louisiana—where white voters have long sought to crush the political power of nonwhites—create "opportunity districts" to ensure that racial minorities can elect their representative of choice. Those districts will soon be gone.

Moments like this are why I look at the Dems sideways with the incrementalism. Bc they take half a century to do anything meanwhile Republicans undo a full century of progress in a little over a year.

good morning everyone

The Voting Rights Act is essentially dead and it’s quite possible that we will, like when a similar SCOTUS gutted civil rights at the fall of Reconstruction, see a disappearance of much of the Black congressional representation, especially in the most heavily Black states, which are in the South.

Prison abolition except for these jagoffs. Really enforces that the biggest issue some people have with onlyfans and other sites is that the people on there ARE CONSENTING

not to make everything about AI, but AI is fundamentally anti-worker. it's a tool built and bought on the promise of lowering our collective value and concentrating wealth at the top. pro-union every day, but especially today: hachetteworkers.com/open-letter/

Every time I read the quote by RFK saying ‘families used to do this stuff for free’ and remember he was born into wealth, my circuits short and I accidentally set my chair on fire.

As the bro-ification of politics continues, and goes hand and hand with the political assualt on Black women candidates, including within the Democratic party, a reminder of the "dudes" too many are supporting because "white peen".

Have you ever noticed that the massive, coordinated, multi-year assault on trans rights is based on NOTHING WHATSOEVER

Libra: Don't go to the mirror world. Not even for a quick peek. Cause you're going to end up all like, "Ah what if THIS is the mirror world and I never left!" and it's just a drag. If you ARE in the mirror world, lay low for now. Things are not what they seem.

"Firefighting foam was used in training exercises around the base. It traveled to the groundwater via the soil, meaning the ground is contaminated with the chemicals. The base also held burn pits the military used to incinerate munitions, trash, human waste, toxic waste, plastic, and ... chemicals."

all these articles have this framing of the anti-public health backlash stemming from the pro-public health side being too cruel and abusive in their victory, instead reality where anti-health won the war and almost every battle since the beginning of COVID and are feeling their oats

We got rid of affirmative action so now Black kids have to define themselves by recounting personal trauma to signal that they are Black. overcast.fm/+AAHuusmwS-k
