TRON: ARES having an official collaboration with Grok and having AI slop on display at he events is making me never want to watch that movie. Ugh

There's plenty of complexity to the story of Ian Roberts, the Black Iowa superintendent arrested by ICE. But the way the @nytimes.com chose to frame this article is racist and shameful. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/05/u...

Also people with money & houses be like it's ok when EYE hate poor people & homeless people, just not when fascists do it.

I liked Windows 7 a lot. Windows 11 was an awful OS even before the copilot junk. Wish 7 was actually supported by MS so it wasn't a massive security nightmare. I'd totally switch back to that.

I don't think the people expressing surprise about things the Trump administration is doing understand how absolutely fucking crazymaking each of your posts is for Black and Indigenous folks who called *all of this* and sat through people talking about "respecting norms" for years

Aw, thank you irregular rocks!

As the President flouts the Posse Comitatus Act by sending troops to Portland, I can’t help but be struck by the irony that Portland was the birthplace of the Christian Nationalist and white supremacist, right wing domestic terror group called the Posse Comitatus.

Colombian President Gustavo Petro called for criminal proceedings against Donald Trump, whom he compared to Adolph Hitler while speaking before the U.N. General Assembly this week. trib.al/8HjOWM9

find yourselves someone who hugs you like Lula hugs Petro

Colombian President Gustavo Petro gave one of the most chilling speeches in recent history before the United Nations, and it has been totally ignored by US news media.

So, you know, despite having twice as many pain receptors, women are considerably less likely to receive painkillers because, and I cannot emphasize this enough, health care providers are literally taught to view women as liars and whiners www.health.harvard.edu/blog/women-a...

there’s a pop culture idea that women have higher pain tolerance than men maybe you’ve seen those videos of men trying period simulators, or tattoo artists & massage therapists talking about how men can’t handle pain yeah, that’s not higher pain tolerance that’s evidence of structural brutality

one of the funniest things about our neverending hell politics is that the highfalutin lefty french theorists are completely right, but only one side understands this and forms its entire political strategy around it, and it's not the side that reads those theorists
