The only way a headline would put those two adjectives together is when talking about an animal.

This technology is SO GOOD! It's the FUTURE! You are FORBIDDEN from discussing ways to remove it!

The perfect tool to capture this bizarre, deeply stupid moment in history.

I have the original sketches @amyreeder.bsky.social did for The Wurst and Aurora Nebbins from @dimension20.dropout.tv's A Starstruck Odyssey.

Obviously there are still folks out there who eat it regularly, but outside of the orthodox Jewish community I'm the only person I know who *really* likes gefilte fish.

LISTEN, I JUST CAME HERE TO HAVE A GOOD TIME, AND HONESTLY I'M FEELING VERY ATTACKED RIGHT NOW

The absolute best part of this is that, with each egg, they rediscover that egg shells are, in fact, mostly non-permeable.

This is a reminder that if you don’t live in Maine, YOU do not need to make any “tough choices.” And so your decision to hop on this app and defend Platner is just plain and simple misogyny. Half of you never said his name until you could use it to justify violence against women.

This statement is so clear, and really throws most companies’ responses to unions into sharp contrast. Imagine, actually believing that the people who work for your company have a valid stake in its future.

(In the late 1980s, my comic book taste was defined by two strong women, and Nome took the other one.) Posting a comic cover I love. Art by George Perez.

this is true for mayors too. between wildcat strikes, manipulating data, and maybe kidnapping your kid, the cops have all the leverage.

It's very strange to be in your 40s, and have your body do something you can't remember it ever doing — then look it up, and apparently it's perfectly normal? So, has this been going on the whole time, and for 40-odd years I've just missed it?

“It’s obviously correct to pick red!” Yes. “All you have to do is reframe the question to make it clear!” Correct. But you *know* that there are people who will misunderstand it. You know some people pick blue. And you are choosing to be complicit in their deaths. It’s a metaphor, you dorks.

1. I taught myself graphic editing software in order to make custom cards for the Star Wars card game

"separate study from October 2024 found that even mild Covid infection could produce subtle but measurable changes in cognition and memory that persisted for at least a year in a small group of volunteers." You can change your mind in the face of new info, and start taking more precautions.

I am not joking about this: it is critically important that we make wearing these things a huge social embarrassment, the same way we did taking photos of peoples’ kids.

If I had to describe the worst people in the world, it's motherfuckers who find it easier to see personhood in a large matrix function than a brown child.

“The safety concerns Kim raises in her complaint include ‘inadequate training, unclear workflows, and insufficient support for clinicians navigating complex care issues.’”

Terry Pratchett was kind, funny, warm, and absolutely delightful.

I just love that feeling when I read something and I can feel my brain rebuilding its models around the new information/perspective. And then in retrospect it feels so obvious! Of course it must have been so! How could it have been otherwise?

It's... good(?)... to know that dealing with fuckass MS products is such a universal human experience that these astronauts are doing it IN SPACE.

Oh man, give me a main character who thinks they’re either bad at being a person, or that they aren’t one. Especially if they wind up discovering their own humanity from first principles.

One of the deepest cultural sociopathies in the US is the belief that public goods and resources should be the cheapest, worst version of things, rather than shining examples.

This is an excellent point that I hadn’t seen made quite this way before.

In other words, we’re know you’re tired of hearing about COVID-19. We’re tired of hearing about it too. But ignoring it does not help it to go away, so please continue to take protect your health.

Two things are true: First, there is actually an audience for in-depth, well-constructed writing, video, and audio. Second, it is almost entirely the advertising industry's fault that so much media is focused exclusively on how many eyeballs it can capture, and for how long.

A spell for all my trans friends and loved ones.

Near-future dystopian corporate hellscape SF novel-ass world.

Stupid, evil motherfuckers.

I want to scream, but I have nothing legal to say.

The most recent episode of the Pitt featured a plot about a fat man — played by Craig Ricci Shaynak — receiving care for pain of unknown origin. I found myself crying, not just to see doctors treating him as a human with dignity, but at Shaynak's depiction of eager, humiliated gratitude for it.

I don't know how to convince you that "knowing things" is part of the point of being human.

Fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuck. Kieron Gillen somehow has the power to write comics that eat like a 12-course meal, but leave me starving for more.

Hey, guess what? Developers already knew how to write insecure, poorly-structured code quickly! In fact, they were paid *not* to do it!

"It's not my duty as mayor to make sure you have a parking spot. It's the same as if you bought a cow, or a fridge, then asked me where you're going to put them." — Mayor Miguel Anxo Fernández Lores of Pontevedra, Spain

This is the most correct I’ve ever been.

And conversely, a universe in which you don't see any disabled people is a eugenic one.

hi "A.i." is literally a tool of fascism

Oh to be a cat sleeping on a giant pile of comics, surrounded by used books.

Welp, can't argue with that.

Man, it's really impossible to learn about any part of New York City's history without hitting the point where you get really angry at Robert Moses, huh?

This whole 🧵 But also, if your argument is that you need to use generative AI because otherwise your art is “bad”, let me reassure you: The art you get from these models is also bad. Much, much worse, in fact. It carries the superficial signifiers of quality, but it is trash.

I know that they will always do the cruelest thing and the most racist thing, but the extent to which these particular fuckers will also do the stupidest thing. Fire up the phones. Make every fucking member of the GOP own this. Fuck them.

Fraggle Roc implies the existence of Fraggle Manticore and Fraggle Chimera.

I made a filterlist for uBlock Origin to remove Generative AI features on websites. Includes blocks for * Google AI Summaries * YouTube Ask button & chat summaries * GitHub Copilot * Facebook AI chat * X's Grok buttons * Deviantart DreamUp * Booru AI images * And more github.com/Stevoisiak/S...

My cancelable take on Sorcerer Twitter is that necromancy is ecologically and ethically sound, but enchantment spells are almost strictly evil.

This is a key point, I think. If you don't pay attention to the work that goes into organizing everyday life, because you think it's beneath you, then the outcomes of that work look like magic. Or, here, like some sort of paid conspiracy.

Alex Pretti was an ICU nurse serving veterans. He died trying to protect protestors being assaulted. A group of anonymous & masked men fired chemicals into his face, beat him, disarmed him, and shot him in broad daylight in front of witnesses. Then his government smeared him & defended his murder.
