I find it kind of funny I find it kind of sad The stuff which I find funny Is also kind of sad

let's be clear about what's happening: donald trump and benjamin netanyahu, whose countries have been committing genocide in gaza since 2023, unilaterally started a war with iran, and are now threatening genocide there.

How many thousands of people are gonna get charged $70 a month because they didn't read to the third paragraph of this fucking email

Got an email from Adobe saying that they were nearly doubling the cost of my creative cloud subscriptions and adding a bunch of Gen AI dogshit I didn't ask for! If you don't want to get charged you have to log in and downgrade to a "standard" plan that's just the fuckin apps.

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me. It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

I have tried so hard to articulate that last RT to junior folks for years, as Dana says, it’s a truth that precedes AI crap. The instinct to want to rush to a later point in your career already is powerful and important, but equally so is the opposing force that trains you.

This is so, so well-articulated.

remember: Terry Pratchett said trans rights, and he was a white man from Britain who started writing Discworld in the 80s nobody else has any excuse

Can't help but see 3 bottom halves of cat faces with their tongues out

yeah im bummed about sora. bummed i sora bunch of stupid fake videos

You don't need to watch this. The trailer, the show, none of it. You are not a child anymore. There are other stories. Potter may have once been a well of inspiration or joy, but that well is poisoned by the venom of its creator who sees every engagement as endorsement of her war on trans people.

Did you know that in the history of tracking press murders, Israel has murdered more press than any other war, conflict, government, or military. At number two is the whole Iraq invasion & conflict, which still led to less press murdered in a decade than Israel systemically murdered in just 2 years.

A friend just sent me this perfect piece by Karel Čapek, trans. Dora Round, ‘From the Point of View of a Cat’.

No matter where you are, they’re using the same playbook

One of my favourite sides of politics/media.

Why is it that the victims of the so-called, most moral army in the region, are mostly kids? The biggest death toll in the past 3 years by Israel's genocidal strikes has been kids, babies, and don't get me started on the amount of orphans who will suffer potential PTSD their entire lives.

Discord was going to use age verification that literally pipes your information straight to the fascist US government, until hackers exposed it. “The state wants to see everything. The corporations want to see everything. And they've learned to work together.” www.therage.co/persona-age-...

Universal nasal vaccine works on fundamental new principles, as it activates broad innate immunity. Reduced viral load x100-1000 in mice & works on C0vid, flu, colds, rsv & dust mite allergins. Could be viable in 5-7yrs with funding. Could be a game changer...

I don't know what game this is, but importing the Space Marine 2 character models into it was genius.

I just thought everyone should see this

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up. I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

never has the discrepancy between the number of dicks i believe i am looking at and the number of dicks i am truly looking at been more in evidence

current news has me thinking about the Lake House Alan Wake 2 DLC where a bunch of out-of-touch scientists can't figure out why a bad writer like Alan Wake can evoke emotion from people but their gigantic room filled with automatic typewriters only creates slop that kills you

The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naïve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."

Ms. Rachel is an absolute hero. She’s gotten so much abuse for her extremely compassionate, humane - and in my opinion, common sense - views on children being hurt and killed in Gaza. But she’s not letting that silence her. Bless you Ms. R.  @msrachelforlittles.bsky.social

So in Arc Raiders there is a door glitch. You don't need to know what it is, just that the gamers are brainstorming all the "easy" ways to "fix" the doors and it's simultaneously hilarious and horrifying. My two favorite solutions are "add a kill volume" and "put a second door behind the door".

FYI: turning off "Smart features" also turns off spell check and the promotions and social tabs. And more. In effect, a lot of traditional tools in gmail are switched off if you don't let them upload your contracts, love notes, and sad messages to your friends into their plagiarism machine.

always remember: Terry Pratchett said trans rights this book was written in 1996 by a 48 year old British man and no cis person in 2025 has a single goddamn excuse to behave differently
