Sometimes I ask people, "You know what I think?" because I'm genuinely hoping they can tell me. I have no clue personally.

Make. Them. Look. Stupid.

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

"All the world will be your enemy, Prince With A Thousand Enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you. But first, they must catch you, digger, listener, runner, prince with the swift warning. Be cunning and full of tricks and your people shall never be destroyed." —Watership Down

First heard of Huntington's disease (or chorea) better than 40 years ago, and was horrified by what a cruel disease it is. At the time, there was no clear path towards a treatment, but this is what scientific research is about; tenacity in the face of failure until... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Videogame pitch: it's a scifi wave shooter, with ever-increasing hordes of aliens who pop up on your space station that you have to fight away... but it's, like, four real-life goddamn hours between waves, and that's when you're doing zero-G Satisfactory-style construction to prepare.

Liberals are starting to say shit like, "trans people asked for too much too fast," and I'll remind your souless asses that we actually didn't ask for anything. we were minding our own business and quietly improving our healthcare and you (cis) decided to do a pogrom against us for no reason.

Bluesky replies be like

If you're approaching middle age, you should absolutely go get the Shingles vaccine. You DO NOT want this. I have reached new levels of understanding Samara and the Buddhist concept than life is suffering.

LET'S PRIMARY EVERYBODY NOW

@repkimschrier.bsky.social : Could you please explain your vote on this, please?

Because I thought about it (spurred by a Discord thread), here's Prince absolutely blowing the doors off "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", because every once in a while one just needs to hear it.

I'm reading through the Hugo nominees. The short story and novelette categories were pretty easy for me to figure out my votes. Novella was a lot harder. And just a few paragraphs into the first novel, and damn. These are some fine nominees....

RAISE THE SHIRE

Be gay do crow

Peace and tranquility

We were talking to @maggietokudahall.bsky.social and @heykellyjensen.bsky.social about book bans and they had not heard "Smut" by Tom Lehrer. This must be remedied: www.youtube.com/watch?v=iaHD...

Medium grid.

This is so fucking good

I think that Republicans really need to start staking out culturally moderate positions

A Montana court has struck down the state’s ban on gender-affirming care for minors, finding that it violates the rights to privacy, equal protection, and free expression guaranteed by the Montana Constitution. lambdalegal.org/wp-content/u...

So they made us smarter. The anxiety and depression were side effects.

The rules of the internet clearly state that when you see Tom Holland's Umbrella, you're required to share it.

The radical right-wing legislature in Utah passed a bill that banned public schools and buildings from flying pride flags. But they are still allowed to fly city flags. So check out Salt Lake City’s newly adopted city flags.

This meeting could have been a walk in the sunshine

Barker: of course ancient egypt considered cats sacred, so naturally my trans mummy wears cat ears King: right, right Barker: and post orchiectomy she carries around her balls in a canopic jar King: sure, sounds legit Simmons: I AM Simmons: SO MAD ABOUT THIS

As we're about to hear a whole lot more about autism and vaccines, the great @zachweinersmith.bsky.social has already pointed out the only relevant relationship between the two. www.smbc-comics.com/comic/autism...

This is apparently from a 1918 publication called “The Ozmapolitan”

This article is being blasted around the Fox News mediasphere to shame the chair of USA Fencing after a publicity stunt this week by an anti-trans fencer. I thought I'd share it too because it's actually awesome. thefencingcoach.com/2023/08/30/o...

P then Q? www.smbc-comics.com/comic/if-then

I will not get into it here bc social media is where nuance goes to die. But I think there's room to both be disappointed in Murderbot casting *and* to recognize that nonbinary folks (like me) can look any damn way we want and I wish cis ppl would stop saying we "present" as one thing or another.
