There's an Uma Musume skill called Head-on and my brain immediately appends "apply directly to the forehead" because of that stupid commercial 20yrs ago youtu.be/f_SwD7RveNE

this will undoubtedly be harmful to FOSS

i am even less sold on this #soundtransit numbering scheme now that they are rolling out the new signage. it is honestly confusing.

this is what some ghoulish advertising company is doing in my neighborhood at night

"he's not a pedophile because the minors he raped were pubescent" is not only trying to give cover for a pedophile but it's also linguistic prescriptivism, which is less of a moral wrong than the pedophile apologia but is still a moral wrong

A lot of people see kids as items for ownership and consumption and control and it is our absolute sacred duty to protect children from that evil. Very much including teenagers. Very much including teenage girls.

I simply refuse to accept that police ever have to look like this. this is just pure cosplay. it should be illegal for cops to be dressed like soldiers going to war.

going to run for seattle city council, my platform is that i will vote NO on everything, without even reading it. i think this is a great platform.

what the fuck is this??? please tell me @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social you have a plan for this!

charlatans using AI tools is probably one of the more concerning issues surrounding this AI stuff but the issue is charlatanism. we need to keep our eye on the ball…

Direct File had tremendous potential to make tax filing less expensive, faster, and easier for millions of Americans. What stands in the way is a tax prep industry that makes billions from being the middleman between you and filing your taxes.

i hate fedex with a passion

i support @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social because, frankly, anything is better than what we have now. seattle has real problems and those problems will only get worse if we continue to be apathetic. we need real leadership, not leadership that asks big tech CEOs what to do.

Alpine Linux w/ LXQT. It feels pretty good out of the box so I just pushed it around some. Alpine is a deceptively good desktop on top of the million specializations it's perfect at.

guy who's posting abt shit he shouldn't on discord: don't bring this to twitter, feds are watching

Kirtaner has announced to his $ANON coin Discord that there has been a warrant for his arrest for a week, and that he'll be surrendering tomorrow. Claims he'll be out soon, but under 24/7 surveillance. Seems to imply it's because he broke bail by doing the $ANON scam.
