I'm reminded of how drug sniffing dogs are mainly there to let officers stall for time and generate probable cause for invasive searches through false positives

kids these days just want to CUMass and never to C U at Mass 😭

back in 2016 the most damning insult you could say to someone was "You're like Jeb! if he had a comma"

a plague on all the fear-mongerers who led these poor people into this situation.

homonationalism is still going strong, Jasbir Puar remains undefeated

I think we actually reached peak cyberpunk here (1911 telephone operator)

I have a trans friend who's really into Boston public transit. She's T4theT

The deep sea runs on mucus... Marine snow, larvacean houses, feeding nets, even snail armor...slime is infrastructure down there.

I think the bigger issue here is that when people review papers, they won't check references, unless it's a paper they're already familiar with. It's easy to say "prior literature says <blah>" and cite real papers that don't actually say <blah>.

from @charliejane.bsky.social 's newest: "Mae came home with a beach tote full of sex toys from Grand Opening, plus a few books with titles like 'The Great Big Book of Super Hot Lesbian Sex for Lesbians'"

lot of excitement for what's clearly Trump making an excuse so he doesn't need to attend the function.

we need to start making versions of those colorblindness diagrams to let us communicate behind men's backs

I feel like the addendum to this is that not only is it your responsibility to vote, it's also your responsibility to organize your community to come together and protect each other as you vote, to the extent you're able to do so.

I go for a quality over quantity approach to likes

wow he really is the Katie Wilson of NYC

a lot of people do mistake length for quality

not to flex but I think my tiny dubious gay world is more dubious and more gay than yours

if The Devil Wears Prada was about soil erosion in European cities they'd probably call it "The Vitava Wears (away at) Praha"

does anyone know what gives or what it takes?

I would be on top of the world if I weren't being betrayed by my mind and body 😭

they should've never let me have a brain for this kind of thing

never mind if they lie side by side and touch each other

people will say "governments should invest in art" and then decry the Saudi public investment fund buying EA 🙄

this is a big reason why studies like this essentially function as ads for AI. Invoking sci-fi tropes lets AI companies allow our own preconceptions about AI in sci-fi to take over, making it easy to imagine that Anthropic's product is ready to go forth and act on the world as a person would.

TRUMP: You're making all the kids learn Arabic Numerals? MAMDANI: That's correct, but we actually all— TRUMP: No need to explain, you're a smart man, you're big into education.

my hypothesis is that people only like AI now because it hasn't been enshittified in the ways that search engines have, and once they start doing things like this it will very quickly fall out of favor

ever since the Dodgers won 😒

we need to make men interested in trains again. Have we considered re-emphasizing that they're phallic?

11:11 on 11/11/11.... you just had to be there

SEATTLE!!! We’ve now taken the lead by 91 votes! 🤯 This thing is certainly not over! Over 1,000 ballots have been challenged, so if you haven’t tracked your ballot yet get on it! Our trusty volunteers have been working hard to "cure" ballots so they count! We're so close!

friends don't let friends become niche internet microcelebrities

being added to one more group chat will fix me I think

6. Counselor Troi is my favorite of the bananas changes Gene Roddenberry made to the formula with TNG. the Captain's therapist is literally one of the core three command staff! There were oceans of possiblity, and the writers were not equal. I wrote a whole novel about this

you know shit's getting real when the Dodgers bring out both Christian Nationalists to close out the game

it is fun how normie Dems actually are capable of using their collective resources/power, but only for causes like "support this doomed Senate candidate" or "get talk show host reinstated"

trans women loooove fleeing the country

Sanatorium “Ukraine”, Haspra (Crimea) — Unfinished Soviet-era concrete wing, built in the 1990s r/brutalism

the things keeping this nation together are crumbling

the one caveat to this good news is that (in my understanding) the disbursal process has changed such that grants are now being awarded for multiple years, meaning fewer grants received money for longer periods, rather than a larger number of yearly grants in previous years.
