I'm willing to test this theory

What's gutting about this is that Juniper seems to have had a family who supported and loved her, she was in a community that has been explicitly welcoming to trans people, and a man still murdered her. She was living the life so many trans people can only dream of, and it simply didn't matter.

"I asked chatGPT" "I asked Grok" yeah well i asked goombella and her tattle log says you're a bitch

Strong Bad after December 2010

none of these people actually want to be doing the job. they want to be celebrities

I cannot stress enough how much anyone who complains about the government spending money to give new parents free diapers should never know one single moment of peace

There’s a glaring historical inaccuracy in Christopher Nolan’s upcoming film of The Odyssey: they didn’t have cameras back then. Theatres should have a blank screen and an old man reading out the script

still not quite over the fact that i watched 15 year olds get sued for millions of dollars for downloading twelve songs and now we all have to accept AI slop because every tech company in the known universe decided that IP laws don't exist now that they're inconvenient for them

The ladies will be on the fast politics podcast tomorrow

For the love of Gritty PLEASE contact your reps and demand a push for this to be approved here in the states. At the very least do it for at-risk folks like myself.

same page generally, but the point in the headline feels unfair to godless whores

The chad Guillermo Del Toro vs the virgin Peter Jackson.

Cute that showrunners are only legally allowed to end their shows in exactly one of two ways anymore: Getting cancelled so they don't even get a final season, and terrible

Maid day Khezuchan #メイドの日

Redefining Ageism to mean "acknowledging that old people lose their faculties and sometimes suddenly die" has been the biggest con of the last 50 years.

Please do not try to clock “balanced list of threes” as an AI tell because that’s been classic rhetorical structure for going on three millennia and it’s baked into all our writing now, I‘m begging people to read more old things

saw this on an ACT UP poster from 1988 at the Poster House museum today. the more things change :)

Stop using AI TTS. Stop listening to shitty AI covers. Stop letting corporations profit off people's identities without their permission. You are not my friend if you do these things. It is entirely anti-human and fucked up beyond belief. I think it's sad it has to be said at all.

Khezu-chan greeting you enthusiastically!

ok well this made something click in my head for some reason

Excellent investigative work

"This sort of boomerang effect—in which Eatherly says the most provocative thing possible to get attention, which, in turn, gets a provocative response that also gets attention—is the fuel of the modern internet. And it’s lucrative."

AI is now putting me on the same side as Jack Antonoff, making me hate AI more than ever before.

I really cannot overstate how ppl and govt responses to COVID led directly to this. When you find ways to minimize rather than alleviate the impact of a deadly virus, you damage public health immeasurably. Public health is worse than before COVID. This is a fact. metro.co.uk/2026/05/13/h...

There is nothing any developer can do to avoid right-wing ideologues, no level of acquiescence that will stave them off if they choose to target you, because they will just make shit up wholecloth! They're like CinemaSins looking for any reason to ding that bell; the "sin" is made-up post hoc.

Happy one-year anniversary to the craziest sign I've ever seen in the window of a pizza shop

bluesky — i am talking to you, all of you — need to internalize this and you need to tell everyone you know this. shampoo more expensive? republicans. burgers more expensive? republicans. beer more expensive? republicans.

GILLIBRAND: What is your record?! I don't want to just hear about what you don't like about the Biden administration SCOTT TURNER: During the Biden administra-- GILLIBRAND: Stop talking about Biden! Talk about your record TURNER: During the Biden administration-- GILLIBRAND: Oh my God!

How many hundreds of thousands of Africans does a man have to kill by yanking foreign aid to get called racist around here?

And heavens know I'm miserable now 🎵 #art #cuteart #comic #cat

I like to think that James named the team after his son and not the other way around. #art #StarFox

I saw these headlines and thought "oh well some jerk wrote a form letter to a kid's letter that's dumb" but no it appears that one of the worst people in Congress took time out of her day to talk shit to a 10 y/o and tell him he should be more worried about debt and school propaganda than climate

Watching a series of former Confederate states rush to eliminate any vestige of black representation in the House pretty much answers the question whether the Voting Rights Act was still necessary.

They aren't banning it for "LGBTQ" history ties. They are banning it for its trans history, specifically. They are banning an instumental piece with no words because it was written in honor of Marsha P. Johnson.

They "broke ranks" because leadership ensured the measure would fail, thereby giving them cover to vote against it and look like they were doing something. It allows them to lie to their constituents about their positions. It's all kayfabe.

Nintendo goes after another fan project. smh

How so? They match patterns. They don't have behavior. They take text that's been pre-sorted and use probability to create output that resembles what someone else wrote. It makes no distinctions. If you understand how they work, it seems like this wouldn't be very mind-bending at all.

I love how America is basically stupid people rule

BAN THE PERVERT GLASSES

I've been watching these terrible Washington Post podcast clips on YouTube, and dear god, this is bleak. Also, the view counts are just... how are they so low?

BURGUM: When the sun goes down, solar produces zero electricity HUFFMAN: I want to enter into the record this amazing new technology that apparently the secretary is unaware of -- it's a battery

My grandfather worked in a factory, machining parts. His bosses perpetually pushed him to work faster, as he was producing at 80% the rate of other workers. But his error rate was less than 10%, while the others averaged 50%. www.404media.co/software-dev...

A weird thing happened during the indie romance boom in the mid-2010s: a bunch of women who did not have high earning potential on paper could abruptly start making $20k-100k a month self-pubbing romance. We watched so many marriages implode over it, y'all, when their husbands COULD NOT COPE.

heard a guy say "you have to access it through the portal" and i was momentarily struck by how sad it is that what he said is so boring :( "accessing it via the portal" should be wonderful. we deserve that at least. it should be cool to access it via the portal and instead it sucks shit

How it feels trying to be optimistic in the current day.
