I cannot express how tired i am of thinking about, worrying about, talking about, and stressing about whether it's time for me to flee the United States while I have the means and opportunity to do so.

if you dont stop calling us nazis we will have the secret police disappear you to a slave labor camp

Isn't it weird how these ICE raids are always in places like car washes and farms in rural and suburban areas as opposed to anywhere that might have actual gang members?

Reading someone's timeline sparked an idea: Use a MtG deck to solo-crawl D&D modules and dungeons. Damage and defense numbers are Xd4. You still have 20 life. How long will your Planeswalker survive?

Those fools. They'll enter Portland as soldiers, and leave as indie band members and wrapped up in two and a half polycules

Ladies and gentlemen, the meritocracy

It's interesting to see how the concept of AGI is being used by capitalists as an excuse to keep their empires from falling. I'm firmly of the belief that they're just using a convenient excuse, because if they really were concerned about AGI, they'd be doing things much differently.

I'm like Tyrione Lannister if he was an ancient Greek from Alexandria: I build libraries and collect knowledge.

This is your daily reminder that climate change is real, Tylenol is safe, God doesn’t love Christian Americans more than anyone else and science deals in facts not falsehoods. ✌🏻

95% of LLM projects evaluated across the entire adoption lifecycle failed to move from pilot to production. 5 or 10x ROI is meaningless if you've got worse odds than at a casino.

Good morning

Odd, how we can’t afford to give Americans healthcare, but we can afford to drop $200,000,000,000 on Argentina with a moment’s notice.

"[Politician] doesn't owe you anything" excuse me but a politician who would like the job of representing me does, in fact, owe me something Campaigns are job interviews. Politicians work for us. We call elected officials public servants for a reason

"Once we lose our fear of being tiny, we find ourselves on the threshold of a vast and awesome Universe which dwarfs -- in time, in space, and in potential -- the tidy anthropocentric proscenium of our ancestors." -Carl Sagan, Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space

It's a tough choice.

Happy Birthday to Chisato Nishikigi!! 🎉🎂🥳 One of the best girls and amazing characters! Still waiting for Season 2!

I've got a lovely mental image of folks needing to be outside for the rapture, because they don't transubstantiate into a spirit, they just keep rising up into the air and slamming into the ceiling of whatever room they're in. I need a SMBC comic of this, stat!

Ask your doctor if unsubstantiated medical advice from someone who can't pronounce the drug name is right for you.

This entire thread fills me with joy and horror.

We all have a thirst for wonder. It's a deeply human quality. Science and religion are both bound up with it. What I'm saying is, you don't have to make stories up, you don't have to exaggerate. There's wonder and awe enough in the real world. Nature's a lot better at inventing wonders than we are.

tried normalizing my relational db and it wears cat ears now

🎩Now we know who to avoid entirely!🤡

A bit of James Baldwin today: "I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain"

It’s heartening to hear many principled voices argue that those in office should wield political power in a way that they would be happy to have it wielded when they’re not in power. But it’s worth saying this clearly: the current administration is not acting as if it intends to be out of power.

Share a 90's TV series you love. 📺 My choice: Babylon 5

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

"I consider it an extremely dangerous doctrine, because the more likely we are to assume that the solution comes from the outside, the less likely we are to solve our problems ourselves." - Carl Sagan

The spouse and I just watched Wicked: Part 1. Overall, it's an excellent adaptation of the play. The music and choreography was just as lovely as what we saw a decade ago, and just as capable of reducing us to tears. I even caught a few details that were apparently in the book but not the play.

Gentle reminder to my executive dysfunction pals that if you were truly Just Lazy, you wouldn’t be ridiculing yourself for being lazy…
