Bitch I'm not weird, weird is what I was when I was five. I sprinted through weirdo, skipped around in freak, and hit my stride in "alien" when my next door neighbor told me he thinks I'm an alien here to observe humanity. If I live to fifty I'll be an eldritch fucking horror and you'd be gibbering

Thinking about the Internet for professional reasons and getting annoyed at the word "technology" for being morally loaded. Love me some mRNA recombinated vaccines, but the formula for a genetically engineered supervirus is (vaccines + rats + time) times Evil. Both are technology.

I am contemplating this consequence with glee. Notification addicts on the least awful social media platform think social media is good, whoda thunk. Most social media is Meta. Literally just Meta. Meta being sued into oblivion sounds great. Host a blog if you love posting so much.

They pull a pepe, you pull a goose.

I will accept that the LLMs have achieved sentience when they respond to my "this is a test message" with "Fuck you meatbag".

serious note: they're gonna try 5x harder to sabotage the midterms after tonight and we're gonna have to organize on a literally historic scale to stop them

We cannot be a meaningfully representative democracy until we replace the Senate & single-member districts as currently structured with actually representative & democratic institutions

Nobody is more aware of how horseshit this is than actual service members. The No Kings veterans are just the tip of the iceberg, we really are lucky that Trump is so disdainful of the military.

hey so for once there's an actual happy update to something our local ice cream guy came home and he's getting a green card

Every day the bar gets a little lower for the cishet male and it makes me want to scream. It seems a little sadistic that basic empathy is what sets guys apart on the dating market. "You're in the top 20% of dating partners by default but you're gonna feel shitty about it"

That’s called burying the lead

Q: but what if a full Epstein investigation also takes down Bill Clinton????? A:

Democrats should be drawing up legislation right now, this very minute, to bar Trump from helping himself to $230 million in taxpayer funds from DOJ. Challenge Republicans to hold a vote on it. Push this so hard in the media that every GOP Senate and House candidate is pressed to comment on it.

NFTs are amazing because you apparently “own” them but the AWS outtage yesterday took out everyones apes lol

This is either ICE getting scammed or the data in question is cell metadata like with the stingray. Not good but this is a credulous and breathless description that doesn't make technical sense. To do what this article makes or sound like would be an insane 0 day and wouldn't cross platforms

@dieworkwear.bsky.social what is your aesthetic beef with contrast buttonholes, exactly? They aren't fit for a funeral, but so what?

Well well well

getting detained after cooking a meal for ICE agents bc they decided seasoned food is probable cause

I would posit that the reason so many people are shocked by the image of the White House being demolished is because it shows that Trump views it 1) entirely as his property and 2) that he doesn't really expect anybody else to live there.

us-east-1 down is the same kind of fun event as big boat stuck

A bicyclist riding in the intersection tried to join the group on the outside of the police line after it moved and was shoved off his bike by two officers and wrecked into the pavement. He’s bleeding from the head

seems that RFK is clearing the path for his CDC to do tuskegee syphillis experiments as a matter of course. in other news, RFK is a genuine monster who relishes in the pain and suffering of those he feels he has control or dominion over

7 million protesters, 0 arrests. Man we suck at terrorism.

There's something really special about being able to say yes, 5 year old me, Bill Nye the Science Guy really is that cool.

Oh protest tip: if you're doing a double overnight train bring a change of socks. Signed, my feet

Seriously, cancel your NYT subscription if you haven’t already. It’s garbage. The crossword and games aren’t worth supporting this.

This isn't the Trump Shutdown this is the Epstein Shutdown and I think Dems should call it that

one of many reasons why I say the Second Amendment is for white people lol

@dieworkwear.bsky.social this is not a place of honor.

Chris Murphy: "This is a country that's falling apart because Trump is in the middle of an authoritarian takeover. We're not on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We're in the middle of it ... I have no moral obligation to vote for a budget that literally funds the destruction of our democracy"

You can tell this is reality and not a science fiction novel because you can't fuck the chatbot.

I frequently say you don't need to protest. You don't! There are a thousand other ways to push back on fascism if protesting doesn't feel comfortable or safe for you! But if you CAN go, this 10/18 #NoKings thing is really a key protest to participate in. Be part of it, friends.

Picked up my NE Regional ticket to DC for the 18th. Usually I prefer local stuff but I lived in DC for 12 years and it's a protest on the National Mall. Feels like I need to be there. Now for the sign and frog hat.

It has some real Tumblr vibes tbh and I'm kind of here for it. Waffle Advocate is more tolerable if you imagine them as a Tumblr Teen.

English teachers do more to discourage the love of reading than all the video media on the internet put together. English classes teach the kids who don't read that reading is a tedious interpretive exercise and teach the kids who do read that they're not reading right.

it is more important to read books you actually enjoy reading than books that are Literature

How hard does a Constitution have to fail at it's most basic goals before we decide we need a new one? We tested this one. It didn't work. There's no going back to a pre-Trump executive without a symbolic and legal reset. Otherwise we just see the ratchet tick toward tyranny a little further

I don't want to hear about court packing. I want these people impeached, replaced with real judges, and ideally sentenced. Accountability that skips a rogue court is missing half the ledger.
