We are in an era of multipolar great power competition unprecedented since World War 2. The winner will be whichever society is first to stop mutilating itself for no fucking reason.

I've interacted with enough smart doorbells to know that, at any given time, somewhere between 1/3 and 1/2 have a dead battery.

An important announcement from Tom Nook.

(cw: cancer) So Ginny is on chlorambucil for her GI lymphoma. This being the same chemo drug used for humans, @aniente.bsky.social idly wondered what the price difference is between cat dose and human dose cat: $160 for 20mL of 2mg/mL suspension human, per GoodRx: $14,100 for 25 2mg tablets

Im curious.... how big are your cat's paws? Rosemary has really tiny paws 😭

IT, Warhammer and MTG are "transfem traits" because they are niche hobbies that allow you to engage with them either completely on your own or with people who otherwise only care that you like the hobby too, and people who scan as "effeminate boys" do not have space to exist in society otherwise

“Blah,” said Toad.

"I bought it before he went crazy!" Face it: if you hadn't spent $70k on a Tesla, you would have spent it on an Audi. You're simply a somewhat lesser degree of douche.

The only way to believe generative AI is good is to have a colonizer perspective of the world. Only colonizers think stealing is okay if you plan to do something you believe is better with the stolen thing.
