Fascism is sexual insecurity expressed through attempts at political domination

Every tariff refund dollar Costco passes on to customers is worth ten dollars in public relations. It's an instant win and you end up with customers for life. It's amazing how many companies will happily fumble this one, like dipshits.

helen lewis has an article in the atlantic today begging everyone to read discworld and I am going to suggest she start by rereading monstrous regiment and think about how that might apply to trans issues

oh man I can’t believe the Enhanced Games are actually happening lol. wow I wonder who would win between an insane person who has dedicated their entire adult life relentlessly training to become the most perfect athlete for their chosen sport and a guy who wanted to skip that part

By comparison: In 1994 a Democratic Surgeon General who had held the office less than two years was forced by the Democratic President to resign because someone at the UN asked her if masturbation is a good thing and she said yes

The $1.50 slice [ #art #oc #watercolor ]

this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive. when you're inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn't.

More of this energy please

I wish you well in your adult literacy journey

I don't think we talk enough about the effect of art on us. I can see one drawing I really really like and I'll be happy for the rest of the day I'm not exaggerating. Your art makes someone feel that way. Your art makes someone happy. Your art helps someone get through the day.

We’ve been told our content needs to be more informative so here you go

Palantir has been granted “unlimited access” to NHS patient data. This is the same company that is involved in mass surveillance and genocide. We did not consent to this. Get Palantir out of our NHS, now.

How fucking tone deaf have you gotta be to know mostly furries play your game and you decide to pull a fucking “AI VIDEO CONTEST” our your dumb stinking ass … and you think they’re gonna be cool with that? I can the review bombs now. Fuck Ai, Party Animals you just dug your own grave.

The anniversary of the MOVE bombing. America attacking Black people in a city with brutal imperial force.

"But who's going to pay for all those socialist services?" Oh, turns out the money is already there, you just have to stop embezzling that money to already rich fucks.

I think I’ve discovered the secret of life and it’s to be the sort of person that an elementary school kid thinks is radical as hell.

i don't want to sound like a DARE ad, but for fucks sake don't give people stimulants without their knowledge. besides the violation of consent you're also risking bad interaction with medical conditions they have or medications they take.

Democrats and Republicans are the same party. 144 house democrats just voted to allow Trump to spy on you and punish you and destroy your life.

How my boss looked at me when I wanted to take my totally legal lunch break after working over 7 hours without one lol.

Near-full employment that gave labor more security & leverage. Increased subsidies for healthcare & broadband. Remote work that gave disabled workers increased employment opportunities. National conversations about police brutality & racism. They set out to destroy it from day one.

I showed my characters to my professor for my animation project and

Kind of a perfect metaphor. The kids just worked four years and took out loans and the administration can't be bothered to find a human willing to say their names aloud

Please watch out for this, especially fursuiting folks. It's easy to get caught up in things and forget, but find shade, remove layers, drink COOL water (sometime we use sports drinks like gatoraid too when on a fire scene) No soda, no energy drinks, no coffee. Your body is overclocked.

Funny how two+ years in and we're not hearing about all the massive success stories AI must be responsible for by now

CalArts. The Harvard Of Animation (positive and negative) The Cambridge Of Cartoons Tried to push AI onto those it would replace. I won't be surprised if either of these speakers is hit by a falling safe in the next few days 😬

A US city has effectively banned data centers for the first time. St. Charles, Missouri has changed their land use rules so that data centers cannot be built. The change is indefinite, and to build data centers in St. Charles the land uses rules would need to change again.
