Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step. 1. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. You’re not just immobile—you’re immortal, and you feel only anguish. 2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.

I guess I do think if you participated in the arrest of a five-year-old you are probably just fundamentally incompatible with society. That you are not a safe person for humanity to be around, generally

The web forum for the Star Wars CCG. Too obscure? Next was a visual chat room system called The Palace.

Just Tal, helping me deconstruct something that has been stuck in the back of my brain for most of my reading life.

sometimes someone just finds the absolute perfect combination of words can we put this on everything????

That’s… oy.

Please, a softer world. Just a bit.

Ok, fine. Gay hockey show is very good.

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn’t Nirvana, Sound Garden, Pearl Jam, or Alice In Chains.

I hesitate to make broad proclamations about media literacy, but watching people react to Pluribus is extremely disheartening.

me when an ai tool offers to "help"

Oh no! He should quit.

you will not in a million years guess what this thread is about

A college classmate invited me to join him at a tech startup. I thought I'd be a coder, but when I got there the owner said "we don't need any more programmers. Do you know photoshop?"

Zohran Mamdani doesn’t make me, an American Jew, feel unsafe. Having the Coast Guard, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, decide that a swastika isn’t really a symbol of hate? That makes me, an American Jew, feel pretty damn unsafe.

This is only rational in the context in which we accept that travel has a mandatory death toll. I will not accept any statement from an autonomous car company that doesn't come with an answer to the biggest question: When your technology kills someone, who is to be held responsible? And how?

In fact, I would postulate that if your moral/ethical positions *consistently* align with your own best interests, that is a reason to examine them particularly carefully.

I saw this show, and it's a really fun production with a killer cast! Worth watching.

Can’t sleep. Playing with the toy.

someone got indicted on the basis of “transporting antifa materials” for allegedly transporting a box of ZINES THEY’RE PROSECUTING PEOPLE FOR DOMESTIC TERRORISM OVER ZINES

Just want to call out that two of the most energizing American political voices of the last decade have been young, brown, Democratic Socialists from New York City. The party needs to pay attention.

Hell yeah.

New York is a nearly impossible city to govern. It's an insanely hard job. Mamdani will screw up, and we'll have to yell at him about it. But I believe he gives a crap about the job. And Andrew Cuomo is a vile, racist, homophobic, misogynistic, opportunistic piece of shit.

What if — hear me out, here — supporting trans people, immigrants, and the working class is a *winning* strategy for Democrats?

I'm happy that Mamdani won. But I won't let that get in the way of my celebrating Cuomo losing.

5 minutes after the polls close! Hell yeah. Terrible job Andy! Enjoy your retirement!

What a schmuck.

Hey New York! It’s free sticker day! What? You didn’t get your free sticker yet? They’re holding it for you at your local polling site! Go get it!

As excited as I would be by the open housing, my enthusiasm is tempered by the knowledge that it would all be on Staten Island and the worst chunk of the UES.

“Huh, Halloween was a couple of days ago, why is everyone on the subway wearing orange?” Ohhhh!

If Platner were a generational political talent; if he had a proven record of progressive success; maybe — maybe! — it would make sense to give him the benefit of the doubt. What I see is a guy with some good opinions, some bad ones, and a demonstrable history of making poor judgements.

One of the most important lessons from decades of design work: if you ask people exactly what they want, and then give it to them, they will often *hate* it.

I realize that this administration is so chaotic and lawless that it's hard to make anything stick, but these extrajudicial murders in the caribbean are truly insane. Even if we believed the people doing these murders, drug smuggling is not a capital crime! The military is just murdering people.

You simply do not have to hand it to him — Curtis Sliwa has been a bane on this city for literally my whole life. He is a violent gutter racist with the politics of the New York Post on its worst day. The only good thing I can say about him is that he hates Andrew Cuomo almost as much as I do.

I remember a world where “nazi stuff” was an absolute taboo. Where no American who valued their reputation would have defended it. Relatedly, I was raised among elders who had survived nazi Germany. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that as that cohort dies out, the taboo is fading.

Someone I loved once taught me about the great evil that could be done by “experimenting” with the education of children. Children who will only ever get one chance at this, who will suffer the effects of your work long after you’ve moved on to the next idea.

Inside you are two kidneys.

Dear liberals, If you identify as a leftist who believes in intersectional justice & fighting fascism, please wear a mask in public. It’s one small act of solidarity with the millions living with long Covid - and a reminder that caring for others includes protecting their health

The funniest thing about Adams dropping out is that there's absolutely no question he was bribed in some way. He's just such a silly lil' guy!

Actual, literal, no exaggeration, nazi shit.

What if we gave the stupidest liars in the world as much power and money as possible?

Hey, just for clarity: RFK is a eugenicist, a liar, and an incredibly stupid man.

This is an extremely weird way to report that a company is scrambling after a third documented suicide was enabled by their product.

being trans is awesome and trans people are amazing and gender is a dumb box and anyone who makes their own crowbar to smash it from inside is a hero actually.

Remind me again, what technology did this guy think was so fantastic that he renamed his entire company to highlight it?
