Some people say we don’t build beautiful things anymore and, like, lol. Motherfuckers, we built this:

Watching my departure from my old job and company cascade into a cavalcade of failure and their slow, deflating collapse is pretty satisfying, ngl

FIRE-BREATHING RED-WINGED BLACKBIRD!!!

This is coming from a place of warmth and acceptance… -It’s ‘sleight of hand’ -It’s ‘bated breath’ -It’s ‘lo and behold’ -It’s ‘one fell swoop’ -It’s ‘brass tacks’ -It’s ‘free rein’

when we mourn le guin, we mourn one of our greatest writers & thinkers. but we also mourn one of our all-time greatest haters

I made a little graphic for demonstration

still actively obsessed w this

The thing is that this has been true for a long time. Thinking that liberal arts degrees are impractical is received wisdom that collapses under the slightest scrutiny. This claim is only "counterintuitive" if you have bad intuition about higher ed, and, accidentally and on purpose, most people do.

Fractures Emerge Between GOP’s Pro-Pedophilia, Extremely Pro-Pedophilia Wings

Philanthropy is a billionaire trick. They took all the money and now they get to decide. And then when one of them deigns to pay for something, they get treated like they are the best people in the world. They aren't.

"Facism is the act of self-deception in service of making your own life more painful, solely for the payoff of making life more painful for people you dislike."

Gender should literally just be a common thing that people *should* examine in order to have a fullness of life, even if nothing massively changes. It should be as common as developing a fashion style or a music taste. Deconstruction of societal imprint, no matter how “far” you go, is freedom.

AGAINST ALL ODDS, THOSE WHO BELIEVED BLUESKY THAT THE CRASH WAS DUE TO A DDOS AND THOSE WHO DIDN'T BELIEVE BLUESKY AND WERE SURE IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE AI VIBE CODING WERE BOTH RIGHT

🔥 Incredible footage of Ukrainian Yak-52 crews in action. Pilots of the 11th Separate Army Aviation Brigade “Kherson” clear the skies of Russian drones.

AI is furthering a path we were already on culturally and socially, but now by leaps and bounds, where you never have to be wrong, you must always be validated, and reading something from somewhere else makes it true.

The most bad-ass rebuttal from Tite Kubo, the author of Bleach.

They are so, SO desperate for people to resub. PLEASE don't resub your Nitro everyone. Props if you aren't already subbed, props if you were subbed and you unsub right now. NOTHING changes unless a company FEARS for their bottom line. Feel free to use Discord still, but don't give them a penny. 💖

"Hey, how are you doing?"

interesting that when a movie with female protagonists does poorly the response is to cancel upcoming projects with female protagonists and when a movie with female protagonists is a huge hit the response is to cancel upcoming projects with female protagonists

I edited a bunch of videos over the past month, and I've been releasing them all over this week! I'm happy with how today's came out. youtu.be/lTYqxwafZ3I?...

A big reason why this happened, to be blunt, is because Google gained precedent to do so with porn

Dan Jones & Dragons starts in 20 minutes! The party is exploring a mansion that I maybe themed around the game Blue Prince www.twitch.tv/causeimdanjo...

“Studies suggest youths are more empathetic and less narcissistic than in the past, as well as more open-minded and inclusive. Drug use is down, youth violence has dropped and teen pregnancies have declined.” It’s almost like panic abt kids’ wellbeing serve existing adult demands for control.

RESULT: The right took over the Francis Howell school board, a large MO district in the St. Louis suburbs, earlier this decade; followed book bans & restrictive policies on LGBTQ students. Tonight, the slate endorsed by the teacher's slate swept, and the last remaining conservative was ousted.

Now we just need a complete fuckup like when you could edit parts of the site code in a post

"bluesky will never be twitter" that's because bluesky is tumblr, idiot

The things I felt when I realized this was the Earth and not the Moon

“go back to the moon but this time we have really good cameras” was a fantastic idea

Don't know about Twitter, but this is my favorite Tumblr post

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

final addition to this thread: again, generative AI is a fascist technology made by fascists for their fascist needs they only want to enslave you mentally (by making you dependant) and financially (so you'll always give money to them), there's no "but it's a good thing!" side to it, unfortunately

A friendly reminder for this and all Supreme Court decision days

taxing the rich needs to be reframed as an intervention for their own mental health Money fucking ruins people’s brains so bad Let us take your money, help way more people with it, and in doing so actually prevent the desiccation of the basic empathy most humans posses!

I was so so so close to buying Hail Mary but boy howdy nothing turns me off faster than "I don't do politics"

Spring has come, so Winter must go.

Despite being a crazy windy day (and using thin cardboard) my sign survived and the message was received. #nokings

it's happening with cars too, where the rising touchscreen tide is rolling back and physical controls are once again re-asserting their place in the cockpit it turns out that "everything's computer" is just pure ideology, rather than a way to actually improve peoples lives

after much deliberation and giving AI the benefit of the doubt, Wikipedia editors have had enough of AI slop. New policy bans LLM generated content, periodt www.404media.co/wikipedia-ba...

The fact that trans men are once again not part of the conversation tells you everything you need to know
