Not to get political or anything, but if the US is to make it out of this, every single right wing think tank like The Heritage Foundation and The Federalist Society needs to be dismantled in its entirety, its source of funding seized, and its existence criminalized so as never to take root again.

Genuinely awesome to hear @protos.com and me get mentioned in the most recent episode of Behind the Bastards. Wonderful episode, I’m looking forward to part II: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b...

For real, the only reason these idiots are alive is dumb luck. The level of stupidity to tell a pilot flying a plane *you are on* that he is fired is off the charts. And Lewandowski is absolutely too stupid to realize how fucking lucky he is.

Correction: THE Epstein files. Have to emphasize the word the for Ohio State.

REMEMBER: All the "Don't use em-dashes" "don't use rule of three" advice because it makes your writing "look like AI" is because they stole actual writers work, and their "predict the next thing" stuff just simulates what WE FUCKING DO. Keep writing well. Use every style and trick you have. Fuck AI.

Can I take a moment to say how much I appreciate the detail @discotekmedia.bsky.social puts into their BDs? I'm going through the NukuNuku BD for a few credit details, and was delighted to see the original A.D. Vision VHS trailers, plus bespoke translated credit screens for each OVA studio change.

If I were a Democrat concerned about winning elections and was hearing that a significant number of voters wouldn’t support Gavin Newsom in 2028, I would simply stop pushing Gavin Newsom in 2026.

Oh hey, it's "AI Slop Bots perform a LITERAL CYBERATTACK on us to steal our fucking articles" o'clock again.

Kind of weird that the DNC just straight up won't release the post-2024 election autopsy so we know why they lost. 🤔

I also want to throw it out there, that companies love complaining about job candidates ghosting them and so on, but then you have someone tell you they're withdrawing and why that is and this is how it's handled...

“This train is carrying JOBS OUT OF CLEVELAND”

How long before both Northumberland Park and Heworth stations have their platform numbering corrected to create a single coherent interchange at each? If we can get this tweet viral I'd say we can get it done in a month.

I'm not especially opposed to driverless cabs, but I'm fucked if I'm giving up my ancestral British right to cross the road anywhere if it's safe for me to do so. "Jaywalking" isn't a thing or a crime here, techbros, so your magic cars will have to learn to deal with that.

When are we getting a Behind the Bastards on the bastard who designed the smoke alarm chirp and how it's the most unlocatable sound known to man? We completely disconnected a wired smoke alarm, thinking it was doing end of life chirps, just to discover it was a CO2 detector, at floor level.

the little foreman has decided to allow the work to be completed

Reposting this old shitpost from Twitter for no reason whatsoever.

Well, it's finished. A little late but it's out. Merry Christmas from me and the rest of the TrainLine dev team! steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/... steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/... steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/... steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/...

I love how Ohio and it's law are such a joke that apparently only Bluesky kowtowed to it, like fucking idiots. ... The rest of the map is fucking bleak however.

I think we could all use a laugh today, so who wants to poorly photoshop Nick Castellanos getting dragged out of the Phillies clubhouse saying “What is the charge? Drinking a beer? A succulent Presidente beer?!?”

THIS IS DEMOCRACY MANIFEST

You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

Tomorrow on The Rooster: A visit to Ohio State’s Right-Wing Free Speech Centers ends with a vicious assault from an … assistant professor?!?!

It's obscene to allow the government to hide people's location and to incentivize judge-shopping by race to transfer

The fact that Andrew Wakefield and Richard Barr are not sitting in prison for the rest of their miserable lives is an example of a complete and total failure of the UK government and justice system.

We'll be doing the full social blast tomorrow, but we've officially ordered a 150-copy reprint of AH Mag #1. We'll be receiving copies between 2/23 and 2/28. Pre-orders are open now. Link: hera.fyi/buyahmag1 📔

Anime OSTs are awesome and should be released.

I forgot I had this saved to my phone, or I would have broken it out like 3 or 4 weeks ago.

God, fuck this Heritage Foundation prick on CNBC.

This stupid fucking Oklahoma senator that CNBC had on is like 'Yeah, I don't know why El Paso's airport is being shut, maybe ask Cruz or the other TX reps; I could be read in, but I'm to lazy to ask.'

Decided that now was the perfect time to finally read "Saikano: The Last Love Song on This Little Planet.", which has been on my bookshelf for like 4 years.

from this angle he looks like a little otter

Begging one journalist to ask why there seem to be so many influential nonces in the Labour Party.

This isn’t a setback. This is deliberately thwarting the research and development of safe and effective medicine.

S/o to this joke I played on our lab tech in 2019

okay! so, The Milwaukee Road, America's Greatest and Stupidest Railroad, a mini-thread. More properly known as the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad (CMStP&P), they were one of a million midwest based mainline railroads, originally formed in 1847

Electrification might have been one of the only smart decisions made by the Milwaukee Road. They should have tripled down on it.

Discord served its purpose almost flawlessly by 2021 and then constantly made itself worse over the ensuing years The constant drive to change products that serve their purpose perfectly well really does exemplify the problems with an "endless growth" mindset

it drives you insane how much erosion of freedom is justified by concern for kids when the people who actually hurt them will never face consequences

"Don't worry about the Discord thing, it's only NSFW servers and channels that will require age verification! :)" I could remove every speck of risque imagery/topics from my community and there's still a 50% chance we'd get flagged just because we're openly queer. It's not actually about the kids.

we don't talk about how fake and astroturfed the right is enough

people who say that all creative endeavor can be replaced with AI probably need to reckon with the fact that all televised sports events with human athletes could easily be replicated by high-definition computer-animated simulations….and yet we don’t do this and no one seems to want to.

The question isn't whether people should wear high-viz/helmets. People should wear whatever makes them feel safer. Question is whether mandatory high-viz/helmets is good public policy - it's not Protected lanes, safe junction design, more cyclists, and better driver behaviour are good public policy

The cops won't protect people from ICE. The mayor won't protect people from ICE. Even the governor won't protect people from ICE. So the people are protecting people from ICE, and I get why you're threatened by that idea but also fuck you.
