This TDoR, I'm thinking about Elisa Rae Shupe, who died by suicide in January of this year. It's been hard for me to think about Elisa; she did what she did because she believed it would call national attention to a crisis, and it didn't. Stay alive, because death saves no-one, especially not you.

there are 4 types of guys online. just one exception

some dude argued with me about the definition of shonen as an age group today. he doesn't know the secret dokkan lore. the "youth" category is 少年・少女 "shōnen・shōjo" in japanese. let's see who's on it and who isn't. on it bulma @ 16 kuririn @ 16 goku @ 15 pan @ 3 not on it goku @ 18 trunks @ 17

really starting to think larry was the source for hillary chabot's 'diversity hire' story. it wasn't super hidden, but odds are someone brought it to her attention. either way she definitely didn't report that one out. relatedly... billmoyers.com/2014/09/05/i...

Olivia Nuzzi needs an editor. I would be happy to meet her for a private session. by Larry Summers

Trump and Republicans refuse to extend ACA tax credits, meaning that millions of Americans will see their premiums skyrocket next year. I’ve got a solution: let’s get rid of premiums altogether and pass Medicare for All! www.commondreams.org/news/as-dr-o...

exactly. we get a lot of criticism for being strict on reddit and discord, and “your community would be bigger like x server/subreddit if you weren’t so strict” and i’ll be like, i have seen that community, and it sucks because its full of edgy, shitty children who have no fear of consequences. pass

great expectations by dickens. it was the first fiction book i started reading and couldn't finish. i think it was the first fiction book i didn't like. i was so uncritical. when i found out we were reading the abridged version in class, i went to the library and got the full book. huge mistake

This is deeply misleading. The agricultural section of the bill does NOT ban hemp-derived cannabinoid products that contain less than .3% THC total. www.cannabisbusinesstimes.com/hemp/news/15...

first congressperson to say this?

We're officially live. It's incredibly important to have a real record of how our public servants are behaving and this database will be a powerful tool for researchers, reporters, and ordinary Americans.

Had a great convo with an artist I know who’s looking for a way to help out. We talked about how there are images photogs often won’t share right now to avoid incriminating folks & talked about the possibility of trusted artists creating illustrations that don’t reveal people’s real world features.

protestants should believe this too, since jesus literally said it. their criticism of catholicism has always been that catholic ritual, iconography, etc. is extrabiblical. this is obviously not one of those extrabiblical things. it's red-letter text.

This particular scene where “someone,” real or generated, zoomed into a pixelated, low res image and hovered their stylus over the screen to somehow contribute to an animated ad really cuts deep as someone who works in design and once studied to be an animator. Real artistry happening here.

ok but how about CHALLAH! BREAD CHALLAH! (ignore pronunciation pls)

mary shelley was writing toxic yaoi because she was percy’s beard who turned out to be a massive fujo and wanted to be there when he fucked byron

this is exactly what toriyama was referencing when he made hacchan. he understood. the red ribbon army was dr. frankenstein.

idk how the shadowban stuff is working on bluesky but someone just responded to a post of mine in a shit manner and i went to their profile saw in their bio "Sometimes I say the opposite of what is actually true because it amuses me. Wish I had a word for that" (it was on clipboard; exact quote)...

BlueSky shoutout on Abbot Elementary!

just joined digg and one of the first posts i see is like "With the literacy rate being so low in this country, if we want people to start reading and improving our national literacy rate, we need more writers like Sanderson."

absolutely not falling for it but it's moderately entertaining to watch

probably no one cares but i unfollowed rebecca traister for downplaying platner's nazi tattoo

you can’t

If he clears 1,066,274 votes (actually seems likely) then he's officially got more votes than half of the senate.

I eyeballed it. Okay, turns out it's nearly *half* of Senators got fewer votes than Mamdani.

BLUESKY ELDER ELECTED NYC MAYOR

TIL there are counties with legislatures

a while ago i was wondering if i went too far a while back when i said that toriyama's wife's role in dragon ball was "major" and she literally drew most of the first page of the manga and named DB's most iconic attack etc. on top of feeding sensei and keeping the kids out of his hair at crunch time

someone reposted this and i removed it for being a repost and their 303-day-old account was gone almost instantly www.reddit.com/user/Hatim15...

don't watch baseball but both of these are very familiar in my household people when their body is hurtling in one direction and they need every form of braking available (e.g. throwing one leg in opposite direction): cats (and coons, i guess) when you catch them bathing:

I really think we should do a whole series about facts like this: Have you noticed that poison ivy seems worse and itchier? It's not your imagination. It's Climate Change. grist.org/climate/clim...

the pilot was bad! everything i hated about growing up in the 80s in a nutshell. i will keep watching tho. didn't get the full theme until the start of episode 2. still don't really remember it. watching stuff from my chidhood/earlier always makes me feel bad for the actresses. twas rough out there

i temporarily have access to mealtime viewing again and i decided to revisit my childhood by watching moonlighting i don't remember the theme music at all. but i know i watched it sometimes when i was a kid because my mom watched it, and i think dad watched it with her basically. it aired late ish.

Putting a Democrat with a Nazi tattoo in the Senate normalizes Naziism in our federal politics for a long ass time. All these recent stories about secret Nazi group chats? Anytime that happens going forward will be met with "But Platner." It's not a purity test. Think through the consequences.

This isn't cute clouds only fire gay kamehamehas when they are very distressed

I distinctly remember being told after the election by nonwhite people, particularly black women, that it was time for white people to show up and do that work. They were right. Nonwhite people resting doesn’t mean they don’t support. It’s dangerous right now and white people have the least risk.

Link's ban is wrong and should be reversed.

🎶And you may find yourself protesting beside David Byrne And you may ask yourself, "Well, how did I get here?"🎶

In the Revolution, the patriots were the pro-community, anti-government side. They wanted more immigration, troops out of American cities, and the tariffs off the imports. For the good of the country. If you’re protesting today, you’re welcome to pick up that crown. It’s not MAGA’s. It’s yours.

Torba is a piece of shit, but this idea that men talk like racist assholes by default and it’s somehow anti-masculine to criticize it is fucking untrue and men should push back against it. No, “male communication” is not racist and sexist and hateful when the conversation is being had by good men.

i think i got blocked by a clarinetist

deeply sick of all the goddamn nazis
