I just saw someone use the abbreviation “AI;DR” and I’ll be laughing for a while.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy: www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Today's been a lot and I decided early on to offer a little counter-programming to the feed, I hope it's been useful to you today, here's tonight's sunset

In case it wasn’t clear, the anti-DEI crusade has never been about merit. Zero news experience. Never been a reporter. Elevated to Editor in Chief of CBS News, one of the most storied news institutions in the nation. www.mediaite.com/media/news/p...

This is a very bad ruling for all of us who value the First Amendment.

What I would give for a completely honest, anonymous assessment of this appalling and ludicrous spectacle from the commanders in the room.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

One of my favorite poems since childhood, and a poem I share every #autumnequinox. By the 12thc warrior poet Xin Qiji 辛棄疾, sidelined during peacetime, demoted, drifting through a decade of minor posts in remote lands. Poetry, then, is that which is left unsaid. “My, what a cool and lovely autumn.”

I just gotta say - Hollow Knight’s OST has been a favorite of mine for years, but Hollow Knight Silksong’s OST is something else entirely. I have listened to it on repeat since it came out because each and every track is *chef’s kiss* @christopherlarkin.bsky.social

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

@sararaaschbooks.com I fully blame you in the best sort of way for keeping me up until 1 AM with An Entanglement of Rival Wizards and I’m already foaming at the mouth for Orok’s story too 😭 I know you cannot make the publishing process faster but also, this is me:

Oh HELL yes

Adjusted for inflation Spirited Away cost $22 million to make. The Triplets of Belleville cost $16.5 million, Cartoon Saloon's Wolfwalkers cost $14.28 million, and Oscar winner Flow cost only $4 million. These critically acclaimed, made by real people films, cost less than this pile of actual vomit.

Timeline cleanse

Great historical bilingual pun. Last week I learned that the French left wing would caustically refer to the appeasement-pushing British PM as “Monsieur J’Aime Berlin”. I mean, that’s classy.

Of course establishment Dems are incapable of handling a fascist coup. You’re asking a group of people who come from obscene privilege to have a backbone and integrity they have NEVER been required to have because the world has always bent to their will.

you'd think the governor of illinois basically going "we're being invaded by an authoritarian" would be something you'd see real easy on the front page of most everything an hour later

the horrors persist and so do my deadlines

i have a headache that refuses to end

The rage I feel when I see yet another plus sized item of clothing with smocking cannot be understated. It looks SO hideous and out of place.

Old Soviet joke for today: A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves. After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?” “I’m looking for the obituaries.” “The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.” “Not the one I’m looking for.”

People saying Trump is dying or possibly dead, but I for one would urge caution, because it is quite possible a second healtbar will appear as he enters his second phase and a gargantuan centipede will burst forth from his torso, so be careful of his new sweep attacks and toxic buildup from bites.

I considered writing a long carefully constructed argument laying out the harms and limitations of AI, but instead I wrote about being a hater. Only humans can be haters.

We will be jettisoning trans rights from the Dem Party platform over my room-temperature fucking corpse. We are leaving no one behind, and fuck anyone who thinks otherwise. A core tenet of American identity is that we, not the government, define ourselves. All of us get protections or none of us do

"What do you mean, progress? ... I think we sort of assumed that it means progress towards something better, higher, nobler, more generous, more free. I don't know. But you can progress towards evil." -- Ursula K. LeGuin October 13, 2015

To summarize -waves are not seasonal -vaccines are waning -people are getting long covid -it’s still not an endemic disease -very young kids are at increased risk because they didn’t go through the initial vaccine series Oh and it turns out, Covid Cautious people have been right the whole time.

ICYMI- Horses Changing Courses- yesterday's cartoon for @australia.theguardian.com

Do unfortunately think we could do some damage by getting the theatre kids to dress up as jesters to follow ICE around all jingle-jangling

the intensity of my anger at those who would criminalize the homeless — a population literally created by the greed and callousness of the ruling class — is very hard to contain. it was you who dismantled the safety net. if you don’t like the results, put it back

Finally, finally: here is the last chapter of ditchfic (aka soulbond of convenience)! Thank you to everyone who has been reading along; for those of you who have been waiting for this to be complete before reading, please enjoy! archiveofourown.org/works/662249... #xiyao #3zun #untamed #mdzs

Hey! It's a thread on Rational Voter Theory! RVT assumes that voters vote in their rational self-interest. It would be useful, because it allows people studying voting to use the entire math of economics to describe how people act and who wins. In testing, it doesn't really work.

@angryrobotbooks.bsky.social SO MANY ERRORS IN THIS BOOK, COME ON DO BETTER. This whole series so far has been riddled with errors.

Hey kids, did you know if you pick this up from the cooler and change your mind about buying it, leaving it randomly in the store, it won't go back to the shelf for sale. It's a part of food safety we should all observe. Don't pickup strange warm dairy products, especially if it that coffemate shit

people might say if you jail one president for crimes youll end up jailing all presidents for crimes to which i would say rad

Of course you're on edge. You're in a government mandated relationship with one of the worst people America has ever puked up, who probably reminds you of the person you left home to get away from. Give yourself a little grace here.

This analysis is frankly more comprehensive than anything I'd have been able to contribute. www.tvguide.com/news/star-tr...
