I’m no psych but maybe this guy should look up “body dysmorphia” or “OCD” or something??

Why is everything so stupid??!!!

Learning about all the different historical, anthropological, and sociological elements of white supremacy really is a curse of knowledge because soooooo much of our society is built on it "Why is traffic so bad" Probably bc the highway was optimized around maximizing racism not minimizing traffic

"Why is college so expensive" "Why are schools always under-funded" "Why don't we have universal healthcare" This list goes on and on to nearly every aspect of life, all the way down to "why is it considered 'unprofessional' to use contractions?" In fact, the entire concept of professionalism...

😂

This is a fight between the volunteers of the Democratic Party and the consultant/billionaire class of the Democratic Party. That's what it is.

@governorferguson.bsky.social what are you going to do to protect the queer children of these counties from losing access to safe and supportive libraries?

Constitution really needs an amendment that says “These rights apply to children too”.

This pivot makes zero sense. Why not just spin up a *new* company to do this?

i have been obsessed with this for years. allowing manufacturers to sell direct to consumers would be good for consumers and also destroying the car dealership would be an existential crisis for republicans

My entire life the dems have spent even number years talking big but making mediocre promises, only to then spend the odd numbered years not even delivering that. As a party they have been useless at their best and actively harmful at their worst.

Populace: Are you going to tax the wealthy? Dems: No P: Protect trans kids? D: No P: Fight Trump? D: We’ll reach across the isle P: Solar? Wind? D: We understand coal miners are hurting right now… P: Fight climate change? D: Sorry, one guy in who-gives-a-fuck-land won’t let us (also: No)

Tested an ebike and I’m hooked. @katie.bzky.team you have another convert.

Spitballing, but maybe make banks liable for theft via fraud for any account that isn’t secured by a hardware security token AND passkey? You’ll never prevent all scams so you have to solve the security issue.

We *desperately* need to improve banking security. Instead of trying to spy on adults who just want to watch porn, maybe congress should try their hand at making banks more secure?

weird how you can just do things?

Am I supposed to be mentally adding “AI-specific” every time I read “data center” or what? Because I don’t see how giving up the massive economies of scale that cloud data centers provide would result in *less* resource usage.

There is something profoundly evil about fighting this hard to not just kill someone, but to do so in a specific manner.

This is how the dems avoid ever getting anything done, btw. They start at the compromise position so they have nowhere to go when Senator Bob Fuckup decides to live up to his name and tries to appeal to conservatives who will never support him.

Anyone remember when dems were calling for universal healthcare? It’s like we’re negotiating against ourselves and still losing.

It’s Pride Month, and we’d like to take this opportunity amid rising violence against trans people to remind you that supporting women and being a TERF are mutually exclusive. 💖

This is the correct response to bigotry, always.

Unnoticed by whom? Because I’m pretty sure women have been calling this out for over a decade, at least.

Constitutional amendment requiring people to specify “D.C.” when talking about the less cool Washington.

Thomas’ habit of citing himself in his dissents/concurrences is one of the most annoying and interesting things about him. The only good thing I can say about him is that he is often consistent if nothing else.

Chronically ill person here and I’m pretty sure that is exactly what they think.

convinced that sam alito’s only actual issue with jim crow is that it was democrats

In Icelandic the word for computer, tölva, translates literally to “number witch”

Some of the discussions about the leaked code is a good reminder that a lot of people have zero experience working on large code bases.

There is a vast ocean of work that is *just* complicated enough to be resistant to automation but simplistic enough to make workers bored. I’m not a huge fan of AI, but if it’s useful anywhere it’s going to be in that category.

I am so sick of society being ruled by and for people who are so old that they will likely never see the consequences of their decisions.

Netflix should just start a news program that airs 2-3 times a day and maybe live streams when prudent.

I must say it is weird that we don’t go full Harrison Bergeron and just have attorneys/clients/witnesses wear robes like the judge so that it isn’t an issue.

Amazing how those super real security risks can be avoided with a small fee!

The worst part of living on the west coast is that I can’t vote for Kat.

the sophisticated response to this is that people like TCW do not believe conservatives actually exist because they live in an impenetrable social bubble. the less sophisticated response is that those people are genuinely stupid.

This may be paranoia but there have been *way* too many votes where most dems go online and tout their opposition and *just enough* vote the other way to let it pass.

It is absurd that you have to pay to vindicate your rights, regardless of how much money you have. This is why we pay taxes.

*Any* system in which you pick and choose who gets to immigrate into the country is *inevitably* going to turn into what we see now.

Anyway, the mere existence of ICE (and of borders) is a human rights violation. People are meant to move around the world freely, and any restriction of that movement is immoral.

If I were a political party who depended on a group to win elections, I simply wouldn’t nominate candidates that alienate that group.

You have to wear a suit to court out of “respect for the law” or something but apparently you can just say whatever bigoted shit you want and that’s fine

…Why would they?

I can’t imagine why young women might not wish to date people who don’t see them as fully human. A mystery for the ages, really

This is definitely the behavior of people who have a report in hand that agrees with them

Weird, I was reliably informed by the dems that it was impossible for public opinion to change and that’s why they needed to move to the right?

If I never hear the word “deference” again it will be too soon
