Happy Earth Day.

You ever try to code switch at work and fail? 😂

remember when they were big mad about obamacare death panels

The unquestioned common understanding that the nazis were the bad guys.

At that point in my life where I'm down to wishing I were a bird 😬 youtu.be/t1tV6YTqnCA

One place you can help: this new non-profit is launching to help kids without access to insurance (or on insurance that isn't paying out) get GAC in California. They're working with VERY trusted providers who used to work at CHLA. It's all a scramble right now, $ helps. www.zeffy.com/en-US/donati...

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

Also, starvation, widespread famine in africa and south america where farmers have missed the window for buying fertiliser for crops.

WHY does this look like a maternity shoot

These are the 4 things AI can do well: •Clean up your email inbox (badly) •Give my shittiest neighbor (Alan) something to talk about at a party •Tell a 12 yr old to kill himself •Incinerate a school at 10:16 AM on a Tuesday You can see why we need to base our economy around it

i simply find it a little hard to believe that shortly after every website implemented ai code and fired a bunch of engineers they all started breaking constantly every single day but its not related to the ai code or the skeleton crew

every superhero movie should run with a PSA about how all the cool shit they’re about to see is based on the work of freelancers unsupported by the companies that have exploited their work for decades

Meanwhile, that UK universal healthcare is being dismantled so that we can have a system like the US. Fun!

Marvel™: Screwing over its artists in baroquely humiliating ways since 1939

Guys who furiously insist everyone boycott one specific social network, while still continuing to use that social network themselves, are quite strange... Why manufacture excuses to be angry, when we already have plenty of real reasons to be angry without resorting to coercive bullshit?

A very happy Aphex Twin day for all who observe www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxTd...

great popular science fiction is always weirdly horny. there are no exceptions to this rule.

Rest in peace, Frank Stack. Thank you for drawing things we didn’t want to see in ways we could handle. 💪❤️

that said, anyone hiring a WordPress developer with 20 years experience (yes, 20) who actually know how to do the job without the plagiarism machines? get at ya boy.

i mean you have to admit at least everything is very stupid

One of the dangers of open secrets—apart from protecting and prolonging unsafe men from any accountability—is that it will do more harm to anyone who can be hurt by it to even make reference to it, even if it’s been outright told to them how they’ve been impacted.

A record year for dam removals reconnects US rivers, reconnecting over 7,900 km of rivers. Many of the structures were obsolete or unsafe, and their removal is already restoring fish migration routes, reducing flood risks, and reviving ecosystems. American Rivers buff.ly/LwcNbjh #ShareGoodNewsToo

PSA: Avoid watching the new series “My Miniature Wife” if a partner has ever used your illness/disability as an opportunity to threaten and physically harm you. I loved the cast but this was not it. Too much focus on an incoherent man repeatedly and excitedly hurting his wife. Depressing at best.

one of many reasons i will never accept abandoning my trans siblings or the broader queer community for the purposes of "a bigger tent"

Not only did Doctor Doom craft his armor to allow himself to smoke, but also to blow fancy smoke rings...

“Sir, are you aware that you are a cat, and Mayor Zohran Mamdani is standing right behind you?”

there’s a Type of Guy who will be awesome to you while he can gain clout for Supporting you. Once you expect to be heard, hired and paid like an equal, you will be jettisoned for more grateful and impressionable women

even if he’s not a literal sexual predator, look twice at an Industry Guy who surrounds himself with younger women and otherwise Diverse talent only while he can Champion them — yet his coworkers and peers are all just people like himself

i don’t want my appliances to be smart or connect to the internet. i want them to do one mechanical task for 100 years

Unfortunately, when you argue with people about sexual violence enough, you realize there are way too many people who believe that the reason it happens so much is because victims aren’t good enough at stopping it.

A lot of people are truly deluded into believing they care deeply about sexism and sexual violence and that they’re also very kind and wonderful when they actively make life harder for people who have been and will be impacted by sexual violence

Longer quote of that section available here, for the curious... news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2626...

Imagine trusting science to bring astronauts to the moon and back but not trusting science to develop safe vaccines.

Incredible that human beings figured out how to do this. How cool. What if we only did cool stuff

Okay CTA. This is a good sign.

The story of our age is billionaire narcissist men who are widely known to be frauds or creeps within their industries but are allowed to destroy the world in plain sight because American media & business view rich confidently-speaking white men through an infinitely-forgiving lens of merit.

Sick of worrying about the same shitty people constantly doing the same shitty things but worse

Happy Leland Melvin day to all who celebrate. 💚

Hi all, its your friendly neighborhood retired therapist here to remind you that the horrors persist and so do we! Have you: -had a glass of water or something liquid that is not caffeinated recently? -used any calming or grounding techniques you like? -eaten a food? If not, do that now. 💜

[The Apollo 11 plaque] reads: "We came in peace for all Mankind." As the United States was dropping 7 ½ megatons of conventional explosives on small nations in Southeast Asia, we congratulated ourselves on our humanity. We would harm no one on a lifeless rock. - Carl Sagan

Extremely jealous of the astronauts floating in darkness farther away from the Earth than anyone has ever been

The thing about there needing to be a path of redemption for people who have been “canceled” is: there already is a path to redemption and it’s called “redeeming yourself.” The path is open! No one is blocking that! You just have to do it!

A lot of people at DC were hurt by predatory behavior over the years. A lot of careers cut short by those in power acting inappropriately; covering up for others. Considering all of that, this li’l joke is a weird thing to feel good about publishing, IMHO.

Josie and the Pussycats is totally jerkin'! And once again, here's my essay about how fun (and, unexpectedly, to me, anyway, smart) this movie turned out to be: whatever.scalzi.com/2023/12/12/t...

also, NASA has a free streaming app (NASA+) that apparently no one knows about? it replaces the satellite channels they had for decades. it’s free!
