I was about to joke that people like this cannot possibly be real, but then I remembered that these people believe that the talking burning tree exists, and that humans can be turned into salt statues of themselves.

taking heart that while old directors on death's doorstep are cashing checks for wheezing "AI is the future we must embrace the slop" the kids just coming up are like "fuck AI it sucks complete ass"

Bi Agenda Day 6: Good Bagels.

I wrote about shutting down Delaney Hall (with reference to the forthcoming book HOW TO CLOSE A CAMP)

Keeping husbeast company as he Doordashes at 3am. Just heard a yell of "Órale!" as he got out of the car holding a bag of McDonald's. 😆 Made someone's night apparently.

Two tiers of Sexual Assault Justice in America: The perpetrators get away with it and the victims get punished.

Bi Agenda Day 5: Tacos!

one complaint can erase women

Basically every national story in politics these days is “unqualified person terrible at job, disaster results; person promoted”

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy

Explain to me like I'm five. Please.

Rest In Power

ok, this place has the juice

I think about this poem all the time

I have managed to play a whole lot of games with a masculine protagonist without losing my shit and throwing a tantrum over it. Just saying.

QTP with a FEMALE character you love!

You know who isn't getting radicalized? Guys who do ships in a bottle. Embrace model-building and avoid the pitfalls of right-wing extremism

The reign of dinosaurs ended 65 MYA, IN THE SPRING. How do we know WHICH SEASON it was when the Chicxulub asteroid hit the Earth? Because the PADDLEFISH bore witness. Let's talk about it. Paddlefish are among the most ancient lineages on Earth, with fossil evidence from 125 MYA.

Just spent 3 hours chasing an out of spec data point just to instead find out a client employee copy-pasted the wrong item number in an email two months ago and nothing was actually wrong. 😑 Now I just gotta figure out how to say professionally, "You're looking at the wrong spec for that, hon."

Yelling works. Now give him his cookie. On to the next.

This comic is a metaphor

I would trust this man to hold my bag while I go to the bathroom. I would trust him to come feed and play with my cat while I was out of town. Goddamn. So wholesome.

Day 1 of the Bi Agenda: Granny square crochet.

this is a pride flag made from real nasa imagery happy pride month 🏳️‍🌈✨

"June should be Milit-" NO. Shut the fuck up. MAY was already military appreciation month. Y'all ONLY care about us veterans when you want to USE us to deny someone else something. Fuck off. Also, I'm gay AND a veteran. So's husbeast. We exist. So double fuck off. Fuck all the way off.

From outside, basic research looks like "a waste" like meaningless navel gazing to understand stuff that "doesn't matter to the average person." Read this thread to see how smushing jellyfish through cheesecloth has literally overturned what's possible in biology and medicine.

happy pride, shoutout as always to the 1978 gilbert baker pride flag which had pink and turquoise stripes for SEX AND MAGIC AND ART, and in this house we support gay sex and gay magic and gay art

Happy Caturday from Sprite, who wants you to draw him like one of your French girls.

The climate has ALREADY changed. This is no longer about climate change. It's about climate crisis.

Meanwhile, in Massachusetts youtu.be/FZRlnq-lunE?...

A true heroine.

Gather 'round, it's storytime!

Gov. Maura Healey reiterated Massachusetts is not a "sanctuary state," and said the state supports legitimate federal law enforcement work, WBUR reported. “That's not what we're seeing from ICE, so we're not going to help them operate in secret as they take people off our streets without cause.”

Yesterday I signed a bill to return 3,400 acres of land to the Fon du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa - a joint effort between the Tribe, the state, and the University of Minnesota.

“In effect, today’s corporations and wealthy are hoarding the society’s resources for themselves, while starving the treasury of funds that are badly needed for repairing and strengthening the society on which their wealth depends.” www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

It is a really strange feeling to be in a fandom when the original material says a character is hot, most fans agree, there are many fanworks about that hotness, and almost every other fan agrees the character is at least attractive, but to you they look weird, grotesque, bordering-on-hideous-ugly.

Oh, are we in the Nazis fleeing to Argentina phase already?

Our printer is not working because in the middle of a software update we had an internet outage and now it can't verify its license (???) and so it refuses to work even though nothing is *wrong* with it and customer service is a genAI bot that keeps trying to sell us an upgrade and I hate it here.

"Audrey Watters ... argues that despite tech titans’ futuristic rhetoric, what they’re selling is not, in fact, about the future at all. Rather, it’s a warmed-over Cold War fantasy that robot tutors can prevent another national embarrassment like Sputnik."
