Everybody thinks 'https://' stands for 'hypertext transfer protocol secure' but it actually stands for 'head to this place, sucka' followed by a colon and two laser sounds

My advice to new writers is to set up an email address that's completely dedicated to queries and submissions. You never know when you'll need it for an online shopping discount code or a free trial of Disney+

Black people five years ago: you know, they can kill anyone they want to out there Everybody today: hot damn, did you know they can kill anyone they want to out there?

babylon 5 isn’t a band. It’s the planet where babys come from

My favourite take on this, just in sheer absurdity, is the 2018 Robin Hood where the entire first act is shot like an Iraq War movie, complete with Saracens ambushing English longbowmen with automatic crossbow emplacements and shoulder fired scatterbows. It's such a pristine parody of the genre.

So proud to be the Power Rangers editor today

I've been trying to come up with a good way to word this but I think there really isn't anything to do other than say it: I've had many AI nudes and sexually suggestive images generated of me and sent to me via burner emails. Started last year, kept going through today. This is where we are.

I've been putting off this resolution too long. This is finally going to be the year I'm gonna bring an entire rotisserie chicken to a movie theater and eat it with my hands.

Welp

I cannot stress this enough, YOUR ten year situationship will not end at the cottage

i wish tablet manufacturers/sellers understood that the very first thing people want to know about their device is how big it is. performance is obviously also a deciding factor, but motility is the main draw of a tablet, so literally nothing else matters if it's too big or too small

i'm always saying shit like "i'm not a programmer!" and yet. there are problems to be solved and no one else is doing it

wuh oh! looks like i'm about to become the sole maintainer of a github repo whose most recent commit was 12 years ago!

got Jimmy John's yesterday (was out all day and in a rush the whole time) and got a big boy sandwich so i'd have leftovers, and they cut it in half as they do.

Almost a year now since I received this absolutely classic burn from the Canadian government.

valve should release their console at the same price as a switch lite just to really fuck with the industry

WE WON! After 42 days of striking we have a tentative agreement in hand that protects our existing 4 day work week, establishes a minimum salary, and adds protections against AI replacing jobs at our workplace!

I am calling upon the people of Ireland to immediately begin construction of a thread on this site about how you or someone you know was roasted for a fashion choice. We need it. All roasts must have come from Irish people *only*. Please respect this important rule, it makes a difference. Tanks

I’ve seen a few folks go for the “if you simply must watch that new Harry Potter show just pirate it” and sorry. No. Just no. Just don’t watch it. At all. Ever. Break free of it. It’s time. You’ll be ok. I promise. I know it mattered to you as a kid. Find new things, it’s healthier. Just move on.

at this rate it could be years before we find out who the next mayor of Seattle will be

“whatever club he’s invited to join has been devalued by the invitation”

Absolutely correct

Sound can do more than carry music; high‑intensity sound waves can lift small objects. Acoustic levitation uses standing sound waves to suspend solids, liquids, or droplets in midair. 🧵⬇️ (1/4)

It's Bram Stoker's birthday so may we all honor his legacy by making even hornier and gayer vampires.

doing a little history read up. absolutely heartbreaking to learn that a century ago Arkansas was the first state in the union to ratify the proposed Child Labor Amendment, and now it's at the forefront of slashing child labor protections

If you’re gonna post about the GTA 6 delay, you should also post about Rockstar’s union busting. I’m not trying to say that they announced the delay today in order to burry the union busting story, but people will miss the union busting news because of the delay news www.bbc.com/news/article...

it is astounding how willing i am to do anything other than learn how to use a new CAD software

Look maybe this is the pile of laundry speaking but I’m starting to think wearing clothes might be overrated

Saying that it's "too hard" to get on the Irish president ballot when an independent woman got the entire Irish left to back her, got the biggest vote ever and beat two historically dominant parties is not just wrong - it is breathtakingly offensive and outrageously dishonest. #Aras25 #Speirgorm

A united left gets results and that needs to fucking continue.

Our 10th president, Catherine Connolly, won more votes with her presidential campaign than any other single electoral candidate in Irish political history. That's really fucking something, no matter what the spoil the vote crowd, your David Quinns etc will no doubt tell you

Final result of #aras25: Electorate: 3,614,450 Votes cast: 1,656,436 (45.8%) Spoilt: 213,738 (12.9%) Valid poll: 1,442,698 Connolly: 914,143 (63.3%) Humphreys: 424,987 (29.5%) Gavin: 103,568 (7.2%) Catherine Connolly is elected the tenth President of Ireland.

given the uncertainty of the political climate when nominations were being made, i think Sinn Féin choosing to endorse Connolly instead of running their own candidate was the right decision, especially because it shows the Left's willingness to compromise in order to achieve meaningful progress

Tonight people are going to push a narrative of "why are immigrants taking our homes/healthcare/stuff" instead of the actual narrative which should be "why don't we have what we need, why have our governments failed us?". And it's convenient for the govt to have this be the message. #citywest

It's convenient for the government when we point the finger at other desperate people, instead of where the actual blame belongs - successive governments who have let us down again and again, left people in generational poverty, and overseen yet another housing crisis. #citywest

sucks when there's something so unimportant that other people caring about it upsets me. cuz i can't say "hey stop caring about this thing" without drawing more attention to the thing that needs less attention

you don't understand. as someone who isn't inherently good at art, stealing paintings from the museum is the *only* way i'm able to express myself creatively. i wouldn't be able to paint beautiful portraits. but by breaking into a museum and stealing the paintings, now i am

the news keeps saying "Gen Z Protests" about all the various revolts happening around the world recently and it seems like a way to delegitimize them as immature since "Gen Z" is "the young generation" but "18 to 26 year-olds" is historically the age demographic that fights in wars/revolutions

Independent comics as an industry would barely exist these days without the tireless efforts of Kickstarter's staff behind the scenes. As they advise, keep supporting all the amazing projects you already are, but have their back in the process.

they're trying to indoctrinate people into "intactivist" circles, which are dominated by antisemitic rhetoric and neonazi leaders

i think if we aren't gonna abolish the police then the most impactful police reform we could do is have them spend 50% of their time practicing humility by picking up litter and the like
