I’ve spent this morning morbidly watching the MTV channels close down and the final songs played were: MTV Music - Video Killed the Radio Star (Buggles) Club MTV - Don’t Stop the Music (Rihanna) MTV 90s - Goodbye (Spice Girls) MTV 80s - Together in Electric Dreams (Oakey and Moroder)

it's a harsh world out there and not everyone is going to give you credit for all the great stuff you do. but Sandal thinks you have done awesome this year. he doesn't know how you do it. he also doesn't even know how to open the refrigerator but that isn't important rn

No need to rawdogg life. Pick a vice. Aim for one that won’t ruin your life

Some of it is personality, but a lot of why I don’t and (may never) define as a “leftist” Is because I was BORN service class and while the academics , reporters and theorists talk and write good their actual engagements are often horrifically bad inter community and their actually proud of it

the mortifying ordeal of being known pales in comparison to the rewards of being loved and i will choose that every time no matter how terrifying

ikr? preserving this for posterity.

"Memory Safety for Skeptics," published in the ACM Queue. Arguing for why memory safety is worth pursuing, even amid competing priorities and limited budgets, and with or without Rust.

"Open Source Software and Corporate Influence" Diagnosing how corporations accrue power in open source software projects and recommending how to deal with it.

Here's a tragedy of DOGE that most people will never know about, even though it has big consequences: no one is left to coordinate the transition to memory safe systems code. 🧵

Kwanzaa Isn’t ‘Fake,’ But America’s Outrage Over It Is 🤷🏽‍♀️ newsone.com/6720963/kwan...

Three well off , healthy white men mocking folks wearing masks , when one do them ran a hashtag campaign against a now DEAD disability activist, and Munps , measles and whooping cough are making a come back How are they different from RFK Jr materially in that moment?

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)

Bardot is dead. She won’t see this shit, but living women ***including Black trans women and non binary folks*** will.

"We banned lead!" No we did not. We banned lead *paint*. There's lead in your fucking phone. Which is why you're supposed to do proper electronic recycling instead of throwing it away. Are you doing that?

This has been my life for 24 hours. "Ban AI!" You mean heavily regulate it? "No I mean kill it with fire! Nobody can use it." Okay what would that look like? Where have we done that before? <Proceeds to describe examples that all constitute strict regulation and not banning>

He's right. Mama works for Delta. They're STILL the only airline that will offer an emergency bereavement discount. Everyone else got rid of theirs Southwest can suck a fuck lmao

Okay. Since I posted this yesterday, so many people have tried to convince me that we "won" against crypto and it's dead. Because they don't hear about it anymore. I really need y'all to pay attention. Crypto is still huge. Not only is it not dead, it continues to cause massive harm.

Technology Isn't Neutral. It Has Values Embedded In It. Those values can also express to different degrees, Depending On Context. These aren't contradictory statements.

What a quote.

It was reprehensible when people mocked condom usage at the height of the AIDS pandemic. It is just as depraved to mock those wearing masks to reduce the spread of airborne viruses today. Whenever someone takes any kind of step to protect public health, they should be applauded, not mocked.

fucking RTVRN

Louis *who* now?

ripping dabs and listening to the lotr score. fuck yeah

It’s such a joyous film and so important to so many who have been unrepresented in English media. If you didn’t like it, maybe it just wasn’t for you. I don’t need to hear about how much you hated it over and over. I fucking love the film and I’m right.

If you see this, you have to pass it on, or the girl from The Ring will climb out of Zuck's eager, waiting maw...

making a labeller with only one label: "Mastodon-Ass Posting" / "Mastodon-Ass Post" label description: "Just doesn't get it. Deliberately obtuse all the time, and also happens to be in tech-related spheres. Vibes-based."

I have now added “vociferously hated Kpop Demon Hunters” to my list of petty reasons I’ve unfollowed someone.

"Will you fuckers read the fucking book one fucking time" challenge level impossible. Again.

"Legs are coming soon!" TO KICK YOUR ASS

Sending memes/reels to each other is a love language.

Like, this isn't even modern day slavery. This is the type of shit we abolished in 1808, when the US ended the trans-atlantic slave trade.

Soooo... human trafficking and old school slavery?

my plug is really chill. when i buy acid from him he lets me put it on my tab

I had to see it you have to see it

People really need to understand the shift to digitization is also the end of owning things and the end of being able to afford most things we once took for granted like eating out or going to entertainment events. The wealth class and their resources are flush with cash while middle class and 1/

It makes me sad and worried how angry and violent irrational skeptics are. This conversation really needs nuance. Some truths: 1) we need to accept that pets will be killed and eaten, we can't put the bbq sauce back in the bottle 2) cats are delicious and your tears act as natural salt seasoning

An open letter to the creative community on why i should eat your dog and/or cat "First of all, I'm very worried about writing this knowing how deranged and emotional ppl get at ppl who are pro"beating pets with iron bars and cooking them infront of children"....

*chef's kiss*

This is such a weird thing to say about my novel. It is not "infused with Koreanness" at all, it's not even set in Korea and there's only one Korean character among many. What does "infused with Koreanness" even mean? I doused my novel in kimchi seasoning? There's no reasoning of it anywhere.

poptarts are cake

Go Birds - but like, not in a sports way, I just think birds are cool. Relatedly, I saw a bald eagle a few days ago!! They seem to hang out near the Lower Mystic Lake.

unsurprising tbh given that the entire subsection of the industry is based on violating consent anyone remember "consent on the blockchain?" same folks, different grift

They say imitation crab is the sincerest form of crab

it actually is harder, but it's because you have to authentically engage and can't rely on algorithmic tricks to boost you Drumming up a bunch of outrage on Twitter drives you up in the algorithm, here you'll just get mass blocked

damn. I just searched and the piece I wrote for them years ago about domestic violence and Title IX is gone

i don't support meat canyon or flashgitz. they're both just right wingers who make shitty cartoons for republican men who hate the women they get off to
