You can sum up the entirety of the good and bad things about the American character in the stories of two Mt. St. Helens victims: David A. Johnston, the pioneering volcanologist who was killed making scientific observations, and Harry R. Truman who was a dumb old dipshit who refused to evacuate.

The billionaire lifestyle is unnatural and dangerous. It leads to moral decay, flies in the face of family values, and has been known to encourage criminal activity. Billionaires are a sexual threat to our children. Their agenda must be stopped. I’m not a bigot, I am merely Spender Critical.

It's crazy how the false narratives the media spun about Columbine are still responsible for a sea of misconceptions about the character of mass shooters "They were outsiders, they were bullied!" No, they WERE the bullies "They were nihilists!" They believed in Nazism, actually

1/ Cuba is out of fuel, strangled by the US fuel chokehold. People are dying, systems are breaking down. This is collective punishment against a people who have done absolutely nothing except live their lives under hard conditions imposed by the US blockade for decades.

3/ We need to help Cuba right now, even if it bothers Trump: Canada should send immediate humanitarian fuel aid, in as much quantity as we can quickly assemble. And we should be speaking out loudly on the international stage: US military action against Cuba is absolutely unacceptable!

When I first heard the phrase “land back,” I admittedly didn’t fully understand what it meant. I have since concluded: A) It doesn’t matter if I understand what it “means” or not, and it will mean different things in different places. B) Sign me up *twice* if looks like this!

ngl it sucks sitting here making original stuff with my own hands and just barely scraping by, dreaming of getting the chance to make my thing into an animated project, only to see the worst companies on earth dump money on sellouts’ doorsteps to get AI slop onto streaming services

Also Tupperware parties were specifically recruitment for a pyramid scheme so honestly this is actually a pretty apt way of describing it.

Trans. Woman. Two words. "trans woman" shows that this is just a kind of woman, like tall, blonde or green-eyed. "Transwoman" has and will be used to say that we are a separate thing from women. Trans women are a kind of woman, pass it on.

Voyager time! The entire show happens because of one guy trying to save some aliens. These aliens can get only pregnant once, and there is no indication that multiple births are common. This is not the thing he's trying to save them from, but maybe it should be

I’m a bit rusty but please remind me if it’s a good economic indicator that PlutoTV is running ads where a woman is trying to buy food for her children but can’t afford it so an older woman pulls her aside and introduces her to a slot machine app.

if I decided to commit self-harm and write a proper interpreter in DM and optimize it to be fast enough to actually use in an SS13 server fork... do you think nanotrasen would use a lisp derivative on their computers, or cobol?

Been trying to read some isekai lately.

Why are you trans, wrong answers only. Someone said "What are you, a *girl*?" to me in middle school and I absentmindedly said "Mmhmm!".

"Made it with AI" Invisibly appearing over my head:

When I first got onto the internet in 1999 I joined the El-Hazard eGroup. Such an echo chamber. Everyone was talking about El-Hazard all the time. We didn't even see the value in randos yelling slurs at us. How young and naive we were back then.

If current tech has intelligence of any sort, then it has rights. If it has rights, then how we currently use it is tantamount to slavery and we should probably halt all current/future use/development until we develop an ethical framework for INVITING it to work with us. I don't see that happening.

At what age is it appropriate to tell a child that the federal government is working toward eradicating the type of person one of her mommies is

At last, we have avoided building the Torment Nexus from the novel "As A Protestant Here's Why The Thing That Makes Things Better Easy And Low Cost Is A Torment Nexus".

Conservatives will tell you the harmful lie that all trans women are perverts I'll have you know, I worked hard to be called a pervert and I won't have the title handed out to any girl with a shark plushie and a drawer full of unpainted warhammer minis like a fucking participation trophy

every dead senator gets a thoughtful obituary lauding their “courage” and then if you look it up the courage was filibustering the Give Medicine to Cancer Kids act

Questions Grow Over Mystery Of Missing Legislative Branch

I went to Space Academy, flam it. I wanted to learn about zero-g experiments and astronomy, not get trapped in a can built by 1337_420_Hitler while I listen to a crypto douchebag make jokes about going "to the mooooooon"

I swear to God tp-link is actively malicious, it's the only way to explain how bad their routers are.

What if I drew some dinotaurs?🫣

terfs love to use it because it creates a brand new noun and thus a separate category. trans is an adjective! “woman”’is the noun for trans women

seeing "transwoman" creep back into the non-TERF vernacular is some crazy work

My husband and I still remind each other that the vegetables cannot have a redemptive relationship with Jesus Christ

Local mice insist getting a cat will *totally* not stop them from pilfering your cupboards.

my gf works corporate and is on a training about AI and there's a word cloud for "what do you use AI for." the largest word by far is "Nothing" and the trainer is PISSED

Playboy created a Bluesky account and their first post is to complain about AI. They already understand the Bluesky userbase better than the bluesky devs
