Cis friends and allies: Do you see how "biological" is simply a slur when used by transphobes to demean trans people? "Birth name" is a term we already have (not that that would be any more defensible, just less insane-sounding). "Biological" here is solely a dog-whistling cudgel against trans ppl

Everyone deserves healthcare. Everyone deserves housing. Everyone deserves education. Everyone deserves food & clean water. This should not be controversial. They’re basic human rights. We could provide them to everyone if we abolished the billionaire class and taxed corporations properly.

This is forty...

The worlds most lamest and least talented man wants to make an ai game just proves that ai tools are for uncreative losers without a single ounce of creativity or work ethic in their bodies

The Supreme Court is rigged and illegitimate.

OpenAI is essentially a social arsonist, developing and releasing tools that hyper scale the most racist, misogynistic, and toxic elements of society, lowering the barriers for all manner of abuse. The so called guardrails make a pinky swear look like an ironclad contract.

Welcome to America

any time your dipshit CEO posts

I also have a house warming registry if people want to help that way! :D www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

Boy do I wish a single unplanned doctors visit didn’t have me sweating finances each and every time it happens. Love this place. Okay? So as mentioned before, I had nearly $100 yanked out of my bank account suddenly from urgent care charges a month ago.

im ashamed to do this again but our car's check engine light, pre collision system malfunction, and secondary break malfunction checks all went off and we have no idea how much it'll cost till we take it to the dealership to fix it/if it needs to be towed there I'm leaving this up for a bit till-

A air circulator that i badly need for my room is finally on sale 👀 i feel bad asking but if i could get help getting it, it'd help me lots because i need air when im streaming lol It's 100 aud ko-fi.com/catgirlfingies

"You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it." That's surprisingly powerful.

25% of the political and social culture of the modern American Right is being upset at the Super Bowl halftime show.

Sending troops from Texas to forcefully occupy and suppress cities in Illinois and Oregon IN OPPOSITION TO THOSE STATES' GOVERNORS is literally a civil war and it's cooking my brain that Democrats are simply pretending it isn't happening

and hey on the topic of ID laws do you really trust Bluesky, whose admin and c-suites physically cannot stop themselves from posting-through-it, to be able to hold onto your fucking govt ID and not leak it in a data breach like Discord? these policies suck, they are dangerous, call your reps

Feels like a situation where -- and look, I'm just spitballing here -- the media could take some reporters and cameras to various parts of Portland and report what they see rather than just do stenography for someone with a long history trying to game the system with lies and exaggeration.

The Trump administration has cancelled 4,304 deliveries to food banks so far this year, refusing to deliver 94 million pounds of contracted-for food. Food banks simply can’t feed people enough anymore. Millions of Americans are going hungry as a result.

Family events when you're almost 40 are just an opportunity for everyone you're related to to remind you how much you've failed at everything.

Reading about Democrats who agree with Trump's plan to forcibly commit homeless people

The *entire* tech industry, a third of the US stock market, is wrapped up on *this* finally being the way to use these magical beans. Literally the same people who 2 years ago were shouting that NFT's were the trick to using these magic beans, and crypto before that.

These guys now are selling magic beans back and forth to each other with money *they can't possibly afford* each desperate to not be left holding the bag because they all know that: There is no pivot to a new grift left.

When I worked on social features for online games, my favorite test for whether we were taking player safety into account was the "Ex-boyfriend Test", as in: If I was your ex-boyfriend, how would I use this feature to make your life miserable?

“don’t be bigoted towards AI.” your AI data centers are poisoning Black communities as we speak, please get some fucking perspective. jesus christ

The people running the show truly believe the robot that goes “Thank you for calling Comcast. Para espanol presione ocho.” which you interrupt with “Speak to a rep!” is more alive than trans people and NSFW artists.

Just to remind folks, this (and the AoE/TLK sword though I'm not sure if that has been re-released) are made using my stolen STL files...

It's really amazing how both Labor and Democrats are responding to the rise of fascism and vocal criticisms of their lack of opposition and leadership by quadrupling down on being the biggest weenies possible.

Carlos silva trying to get that tna deal.

How do these men and women look their children in the eye. How do they hug their daughters knowing they are protecting men who raped girls their age? open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...

🚨House GOP extends recess through Oct. 13. 🚨WTH? What is happening? 📲Call your reps. Or go to their office. 🏢 They should be in their home districts. Tell them to get back to work and pass a budget that can get the government started again. So the government can reopen and work for you!

i used to love Mitch Hedberg. i still do, but i used to too.

On a quick trip through town this morning...

The question journalists need to be asking is: WHY is the government trying this? It’s because they want to control universities in unlawful ways that courts will not allow; it’s not working; so they’re trying to get universities to sign up “voluntarily” for unlawful levels of government control.

They closed down that Hyundai plant b/c a white woman told a lie.

the Deals Regime is, I have to say, not very good at Deals

Revlimid has its origin in a pill that cost patients $7.50 each. Decades later, the cancer drug costs more than $18,000 for a month’s supply — even though it still only costs about 25 cents to manufacture. Read @davidarmstrongx.bsky.social's award-winning investigation:

The mystery of medical diagnosis!

Undocumented immigrants aren’t taking away healthcare, Trump is. A few months ago, I wrote about the cruelty of Trump’s Medicaid cuts & the impact on gun violence survivors. I wanted to tell the story of the real harm on real people, brought to us by Trump. #MomSky open.substack.com/pub/ruthzaka...

That explains at least part of it. There's always a grift. Make up some phony numbers and another outrage cycle to pump up a right-wing propaganda streaming service.

Hegseth writes "narco-terrorist" because someone begged him to use "terrorist" to fit with their new claim these are enemy combatants, but he's not very bright, so his description makes clear they just murdered more civilians because they thought a boat was carrying drugs. That's a crime.

Remember when Trump denied knowing about Project 2025 and many pundits and politicians gave him a pass? Now he’s openly embracing it.

How bad are tariffs going? I paid for $32 of shaving cream from Canada. Unique stuff I’ve used for years, nothing like it in US. Small family business. UPS guy came to my door today with box and said I have to pay additional $120 before he can hand it to me. That makes it 5x more expensive!!! 🤯

ok this really is awful, and she's going to do catastrophically bad things (srsly tell people now to stop trusting CBS as a news source), but i did laugh very hard at someone comping her to Michael Scott

Work lost power on a Friday afternoon...
