77 billion could have paid for housing for every single homeless person in America for like 5 years

very much enjoy how in yiddish, to do a big stretch is to tseleygn (צעלײגן), and also someone who's a big shot is a tseleyger (צעלײגער, "one who does a big stretch"), which is all very complementary to every single cat

Ezra Klein even like "well we can agree 'birth tourism' is a problem," and no, I cannot. My group texts are about sports and kids.

For comparison, every robotic mission NASA has ever sent in its history, from the dawn of the Space Age 65 years ago to today, from Mercury to Pluto and beyond, has cost less than $40B. I know which one has done more for humankind and which one should be dismantled.

Not goblin mode as in small green humanoid, but goblin mode as in Jareth.

i don't want to win a unifying 70-30. i want to win 51-49 based on promises of vengeance.

the japanese are right, the moon looks more like a rabbit than a face

"Biological people" was always where this eugenicist rhetoric was headed - ie "biological women", "biological pronouns" - because they genuinely don't believe trans people are even human. This dehumanizing language is essential for them to paint trans people as genetically incompatible with society.

Elon Musk is worse at hiding it but this is the problem with all billionaires: they are a threat to democratic governance. They have an insatiable need to own and control everything. If you want to be free you have to curb their power, and demand political leaders who understand that

RICH PEOPLE NEVER EVER LEAVE WHERE THEY WANT TO LIVE IF THEIR TAXES INCREASE FOR THE OBVIOUS REASON THAT THEY CAN EASILY AFFORD IT

What an interesting coincidence.

circling around a definition of 'slop' as something like 'fully optimized to the point of texturelessness/characterlessness'... RLHF'd ai product but also: save the cat is scriptslop, aerodynamically efficient crossover suvs are carslop, three true outcomes is baseballslop, crabs are crustaceanslop

This is great. Very few people want to go to jail, get disbarred or die for this regime. Make them fight you. They will cave. www.ms.now/news/minneap...

The Supreme Court cannot “uphold the longstanding principle” or “strike down birthright citizenship.” The Supreme Court can follow the plain text of the constitution or declare itself in rebellion to the constitution. These are the only two options wrt birthright citizenship and the 14th Amendment.

this is really just going to live in my mind when we parse through these stories. the republican congressmen who saw this came out and cheered it on. watched a murder and said “yes, more of that”. what do you even do about that degeneracy? bsky.app/profile/tobi...

I'm kind of fascinated how Adventure Time as a franchise has aged with its audience in a way that seems completely unique. Instead of being rebooted for a new generation of kids, it's still aimed, in an entirely sincere and non-cynical way, at its original audience who are now adults.

doomerism is a product of a bad combination in which irrational right-wing enthusiasm reinforces (and is reinforced by) left-wing pessimism

i buy songs on bandcamp when im able but My God i sure wish kinda-big-artists would start selling their songs Anywhere. the number of artists that have their songs listed on ONLY spotify/youtube/apple music is sad. let me buy your songs!!!!!!!!

it's integral to noelle holiday's character that she is the type of girl who played rpg maker horror games when she was like 14 years old at 2 am and often looked outside her window and saw an endless, dark forest

"You have not written a satire of fascism, you have written a gonzo story with cool fascist aesthetics that the CHUDs will love" is a message that applies to 95% of "satire of fascism" media.

there are of course many examples of political constituencies that have in fact killed scores of children (en route to some other evil goal), but I can't offhand think of any historical examples of a political constituency organized for that specific purpose

Joe Rogan: That's crazy man you're saying that Amon, the fallen Xel'Naga whom destroyed the others with the Swarm is returning and now Kerrigan, the Queen of Blades, is our best tool to defeat his coming? Zeratul: That is indeed correct, Joe Rogan Joe Rogan: That's fucked up man, that's crazy

Okay, so a majority of Republican men under 50 are Holocaust deniers. Cool, cool. Nothing to worry about I’m sure.

I FINALLY FOUND IT. Been looking for this stupid video for fucking EVER but GOOGLE SUCKS SO MUCH SHIT NOW

Thinking about what the Trojan War would sound like if it were recounted by the tiny ghost of Priam with a dangerous magic crystal. Of course we only see the big war in Sailor Moon, not the years of trade disruption that impeded the manufacture of everything from ice skates to transformation pens.

It's hard to pick from the rogues gallery of murderous ideas, but sometimes I feel the most dangerous thing about modern conservatism is its transparent desire to destroy the fabric of truth in daily life.

Man we're bringing back ALL the 1920s classics, aren't we? Fucking Great Gatsby themed parties at the White House, stock market's surging despite everyone knowing it's a bubble based partially off lying to people that they can get rich too, internment camps for undesirables, we've got it all.

a whole new world to explore

man these are getting too real

How can we get Trump on a European/Asian train

Camera glitch? or Did Squirrel discover a Grape of Invisibility?😄

The thing about all the anti-trans sports panic: people argue this stuff while talking about elite level sports, but because there aren't actually a ton of superhuman trans women blowing away the competition, the people actually affected end up being those who play sports for fun/socialization

Never believe the fuckers who say "why bother, they already won"

"There's a billionaire threatening to sue the WI through her proxies if they don't throw out their trans members" makes you sound like a lunatic but that is in fact what's happening. Is that good or bad? I think a simple question.

Today 31 years ago the PS1 was released. In honor of Sony Playstation 1's birthday lets unironically celebrate by rewitnessing the greatest (in my opinion) bit of voice acting speech on the platform from Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.

i've seen the things people post. the computer is not virgin

maybe the simplest encapsulation of the difference between childhood and adulthood is that magic as a child is something that just happens and magic as an adult is something you need to be open to experiencing

If you've seen the latest season of "Stranger Things," you might have noticed the iconic cover of "A Wrinkle in Time" that Holly was reading. For a long time, nobody knew who had illustrated that cover -- until an enterprising Redditor got Endless Thread on the case:
