"trans people are so aberrant" "gay people are queers" yeah sure whatever my doctor got back to me and said my tests are back and my cultures are normal so shut the fuck up

why's everyone complaining about the klippenstein article? he's right, staffing our government with only nullified eunuchs(AGAB-and-gender neutral) would be a huge improvement

when your opponents spend a lot of money to frontpage their ignorance, take note of it

“The rule is catastrophic… it means that cancer patients, including those in active treatment, could be forced to work the same number of hours as a healthy person — regardless of whether that’s physically possible, just to keep the health insurance coverage that they rely on to stay alive.”

thinking about how people are going to get even more insufferable once AI companies realize they can give people conversation tree responses in their ear like a video game

I highly recommend taking an improv class as a scientist. It helps with scientific communication, classroom presence, conference presentation, and self-confidence

coal plants and coal mines similarly don't generate that many more jobs than datacenters anymore thanks to automation

plastic in landfills is a form of carbon sequestration but no one's ready to talk about all the ideological contradictions therein

when everyone gets sti checks before the orgy call that 'test driven depravity' or TDD

hey @mbta.com don't fuckin do this, scalpers are going to slot machine these and just throw the normal ones out!

why dude, coal is running out every if we blow the top off every mountain, the sun will still be there for another few billion years

I often think of how more people are employed by art museums than by coal mines now.

you don't say

🚨 🚨 🚨 THE MASSACHUSETTS HOUSE IS VOTING ON DATA PRIVACY TODAY!!! Call your Reps and tell them to support the ACLU-backed amendments that make H. 4746 stronger, and OPPOSE amendment 18 that makes it weaker. Reskeet to get this in front of as many massholes as possible!!! FFTF.link/madataprivacy

bro wtf my time didn't NEED saving

oh sure when PROGRAMMERS talk about scope and lifetimes and relational binding everyone's like 'ooh' 'ahh' but when you say it about polyamorous promiscuity suddenly the room goes silent except for the guy reminding you that technically adultery is still illegal in the state

you can tell I'm a programmer and not a mathematician because i just saw a (0, 1] range and forgot fractional values can theoretically exist in the range

so trump bragging about doing cognitive test after cognitive test because he 'likes doing them' might mean their trying to invoke the 25th but can't prove inability yet huh

You ‘run the gamut’ and ‘run the gauntlet.’ You don’t ‘run the gambit.’ gamut = entire range or series gauntlet = severe trial Gambit = Alpha-level mutant who can convert potential energy to kinetic energy

HUGE development in Posting Law

Today marks 20 YEARS since Animator vs. Animation by Alan Becker was posted to @newgrounds.com.

Officially the longest article I have written, relying on 300+ pages of contemporaneous operational material, including war diaries, action and after-action reports, deck logs, and intelligence summaries, recreates an account of Task Force 50.3's attacks on Rabaul on November 11, 1943. My latest⬇️

truly we are living in the Age of Kojima, The True Prophet.

I have a chip on my shoulder about this kind of thing, but what bothers me most about this toothless example is that Pride was in part a calculated effort to get people to come out in order to build solidarity and break straight culture's ability to blackmail and coerce us by threatening to out us.

This is one of the saddest things I have ever seen They LICENSED a song that costs at LEAST 15 grand to do so for the CEO of their publisher presumably in an attempt to gain points with the asshole through some executive's demand

a week or two ago i saw someone with a very furry looking mullet using trekking poles to propel themselves on rollerblades with all four limbs while making wolf noises on elm street near the Porter Square star market, I wonder how they're doing

isn't there a name for the third one? i can't quite remember

look all i want is an epidural and a few hours multiboxing davinci machines is that really too much to ask of the medical ethics committee

i miss cohost so much

dude it's so depressing to know things. it makes it clear just how much of the news is just free marketing at best these days

is there a price is right style bet (closest without going over) going yet for how many months it will take for someone at the new 60 Minutes to think they can take on interviewing Isaac Chotiner

I spent more time on this piece than almost anything else I've written in the last year. Building a better, more decentralized internet is an inherent necessity if you want a functioning democracy. I hope people find it a useful encapsulation of where we're at. www.liberalism.org/p/enshittifi...

"the African Room..is now completely gutted and emptied. I was not told where those items went."

ok here's a discourse nucleation site: i could be naked so much more if most people could control themselves at all but apparently we need to coddle their own internal sexualization of nudity

"he knows too much about our weapons capabilities from experience taking fire, we have to pull him out" www.cbsnews.com/news/fighter...

i don't understand the supreme court, they crave power but are giving justification for there to be 435 supreme court justices

Just a reminder: The Guardian entered a strategic partnership with OpenAI a little while back, so any time you see an article like this from them, you can immediately dismiss it as not credible journalism but just Sam Altman getting his money’s worth.

Thank to Willamette Week for running, with such care, an excerpt of my book!

you've got your 4 kinds of emergency response siren, LEO in a rush to get to home or work, Ambulance, Fire Truck, and Ice Cream Truck

fuckin slap fight of a clown-ass, senseless war.

We're at Medford Pride tonight! Clothing swap at our place tomorrow! We're at dyke march on Friday! Nonbinary progressive congressional candidate Beth Andres-Beck at our place on Sunday! There are so many things happening and I'm just a little fox!

Look at the pure joy!!

does anyone have a... favorite dialog tree format? i'm trying to figure out how to compose and store dialog trees (not very deep or looping!) for my space truckin game

I figure wherever I am it's going to be like a full solar eclipsce where suddenly everything goes very quiet for awhile and then later, very loud

To be fair, they were watching an instagram story I shared last night, so I guess I did this to myself.

Andy Merrill (Brak) is an Amazon delivery driver. Carey Means (Frylock) got CHF from/exacerbated by COVID & was recently working as a restaurant dishwasher. C. Martin Croker (Zorak) died of sepsis from an infected tooth he couldn't afford to get treated. Capitalism destroys both art & artist.

The thing about extremely rich people is that their wealth is basically all debt, the only way to become *obscenely* rich is to first get rich exploiting workers and then take out mindboggling debt using that wealth as collateral.
