i did not come here to be throught provoked on a fucken monday

What if pants were fortune cookie? What if Olive Oyl was menopausal? Designers out there answering today's most important philosophical quandaries .

Fortunately Zillow still provides a link where you can search environmental risks for properties. firststreet.org

There has to be a term, concept for how the virtues of a free society fall apart in the face of nothing but advertising, soliciting, and propagating, and glorifying vice.

there’s no amount of good faith that beats bad faith. you beat bad faith with fire*, not argument. *definitions are situational

The two longest military occupations in the history of the postwar era (1945-now) are the Israeli occupation of East Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza and the Israeli occupation of the Golan Heights. Why would Syrians hate Israel? Well.

Sometimes somebody on here says stuff like “you can’t ban/regulate AI.” I feel like they don’t realize how dumb that sounds in a world where people are banning hentai. A ban on LLM chatbots as a product marketed to the public would be both (a) pretty workable and (b) very beneficial to the world.

"I don't understand why people feel like they can judge me for using something that makes a task I'm capable of faster and more convenient just because it maybe is bad for the human race. I've rationalized why this is okay, why are they so mean to me when I try and tell them it's okay?"

LSU is paying its previous football coach over $50 million NOT to coach there while likely guaranteeing Kiffin something approaching double that, all while having an academic hiring freeze and budget cuts across the board. What is the purpose of a university (rhetorical)?

STUNNING YouGov polling confirms SNP are far more popular with voters in Scotland than *any* of the London parties are with UK voters - scotgoespop.blogspot.com/2025/11/snp-...

You bolt awake in your bed in Cheshire. You are not online. It is 1954. You are Alan Turing. You carefully dispose of the poisoned apple you have been saving for yourself. The future cannot come to pass. IBM must burn

My neighbor put a sign in her window asking what my cat’s name was. It was a lovely little bit of human interaction at a time when I really needed it.

Could investors have been… wrong? Did they put tons of money up not based on an actual existing product with limited use cases, but on hype that the technology would soon turn into magic? Because that does not seem like a wise investment.

Yeah I’m in DSA

Peter, forsooth.

got qft homework back where the professor didn't even bother describing what i did wrong on a couple problems, just "No <my name>, life is much more complicated"

Pete Hegseth is a war criminal and should be fired immediately.

I am allowed to fail students for AI use, and I do, and I say I will, repeatedly and emphatically. As a result, I wind up having to fail very few students for AI use.

Yeah this makes me think of the inverse of "If something is punished with a fine that just means it's legal for rich people." A third of us have criminal records, and about a third of us are really poor. It's not us it's a really bad system. Not even a broken one; it never worked right to begin with

this is just gutter racism

This would be an unambiguous war crime even in a proper war against a real enemy’s navy.

h/t @adamwren.bsky.social Michael Bohacek, a Republican state senator from Indiana who has a daughter with down syndrome, says he will vote against redistricting in Indiana after Trump used the word "retarded."

What a great headline

My pho guy closes his shop on Black Friday every year and just cooks hibachi out front all day for anyone that wants it for free

maritime law impels a strict duty to rescue the survivors of any naval combat engagement with all haste

Beyond depraved: "Hours after her detainment, court documents obtained by ABC News show that a federal judge ordered the government not to remove the 19-year-old from the U.S. and not to transfer her outside of Massachusetts. But Lopez Belloza was deported to Honduras the next day."

We had better have trials.

No, we need reconstructionists, not moderates.

I don’t know who is ready to hear this but people don’t have to add value Like people should also be allowed to exist for free

“When the men did not believe Miles’ tribal ID, she pointed to a phone number for the Umatilla Tribal enrollment office on the back of the card. “Call it,” she said. When they didn’t, she took out her phone to call the office herself, but the agents tried unsuccessfully to take her phone...”

I am ready to go beyond implication and say after reading the facts here that one of the most recognizable people working in the White House almost certainly had ICE arrest her nephew's mother as a favor to her brother

Not calling this poster out, but we should also stop calling it Mt. Everest. Buncha white dudes slapped that name on in the 1850's. The mountain, and the cultures around it, are a hell of a lot older than that. Besides, Chomolungma, or "Goddess Mother of the World" sounds much cooler.

hot take: Isaac Chotiner should start interviewing fellow journalists the same way

If you want to see how quickly everyone goes into manufacturing consent mode, compare the full-court press tonight to the response to any of the people ICE has shot in the last few months, some of whom died.

I think it’s such a perfect case study for why “access journalism” to political figures is such a crock of shit. Most people can’t spend a ton of time with people without getting to like them, or at least sympathize with them. This is obviously an extreme case, but I think it’s always dangerous

i'm sick and tired of President Stuff on the world wide web

I am a little tired of being yelled at for this but apparently not tired about: heroin addiction is not RFK’s problem. He’s a sociopath. Most addicts aren’t. Honestly, walk into an NA meeting, grab the first person with a few years to be head of HHS and they’d probably do a better job than Bobby.

hadn't even seen this, this is beyond awful

hi i bet you need to hear Hüsker Dü performing the Mary Tyler Moore song live in 1985 today

One thing about RFKuzzi is that I feel like we all need to recognize these cloying “personal” details as signs of simpering sycophancy. When a reporter breathlessly says he was at RFK Jr’s side when he heard the Kirk news, we should think: “Oh, I get it. This reporter is a huge piece of shit.”

This is a very sweet (if very Christian-centric) trans-led mutual aid project that connects anonymous gift givers with unhoused or in-foster care trans kids. www.transanta.com/about

I Am Not Your ‘Inmate’. "I didn’t always detest this term," said Lawrence Bartley. "But hearing officers use it as an insult reminded me to call incarcerated people — including myself — by our names." Story via @themarshallproject.org. #2021 www.themarshallproject.org/2021/04/12/i...

god I love Goodness Gracious Me

fuck you the memories of a generation lost because of Reagan's homophobia will not be erased i think we should do something in DC that would make david wojnarowicz proud tbh

the way these mediocre and unprincipled tools became widely adopted, due to temporary circumstances, thus sanctifying mediocre and unrigorous dilettantes as a technical elite, is upstream of the palo altoid tech culture which debrained the intellectual elite class who hold the ear of the bourgeoisie
