God I wish we had the Democratic Party the Republicans live in fear of.

There was a Discord server set up for the fan community of a game that put up a temporary image banner on the Trans Day of Visibility and got so much shit from transphobes they just banned them all. And saw their moderation queue drop by 40% for weeks. Transphobes are plague rats. Clear em out

Fuck Gavin Newsom.

Half the passengers are already standing up waiting for boarding to start and they haven’t even called group 1 yet. Sit down, people.

It’s weird being in Mexico where people didn’t all ditch their compact cars and decide they needed generic compact SUVs.

A whole bunch of spotted and bottlenose dolphins jumping in the wake of the tour catamaran I was out on today: youtu.be/EFkh_8shShM

every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s

Holy shit they're actually going for it this time...

It's weird how in English (or at least the form I speak) most "good <time period>" expressions are either almost exclusively greetings or almost exclusively farewells depending on the word you use. Morning, afternoon, evening = greetings, night = farewell.

I didn't realize Gary Larson had started releasing the occasional new Far Side again, but I guess he's been back at it for a few years now: www.thefarside.com

Scott Adams dying at 68 rather than 69 is the perfect capstone to a life of being almost — but not quite — funny

I hear Scott Adams passed. Truly one of the comic artists of all time. Shame we'll never know anything else about him.

Heads up Pittsburgh/Beechview area

Another learn-from-my-mistakes Mexico tip: if you’re getting cash from an ATM, don’t let it do the conversion! You’ll almost certainly get a much better rate letting it go through in pesos and having your bank do the conversion.

We don’t dance on the grave of NFTs enough. I had a year where I was repeatedly told by bozos I was going to be irrelevant and extinct for not embracing them, I should be allowed a victory lap.

Mi español no es muy bueno, but I’m trying to use what I do have because I feel kind of bad expecting everyone will speak English well, or at all.

Leaked documents about ICE deployment to Minneapolis suggests they're more worried about the backlash to Renee Good's death than they're letting on: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/immigratio...

As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from unsettling dreams, he found himself transformed into an enormous Bug-type.

Remember who you are, American. Part of a nation that proudly went to war against the kind of fascists who embrace stupid white supremacist slogans like "one homeland, one people, one heritage"

If you come to Mexico, learn from my mistake and don’t expect Google’s public transit info to be remotely accurate or comprehensive.

Figured I oughta have a margarita at my dad’s favorite beach bar while I’m down here. ¡Salud!

Hey remember how all of Mississippi was blocked on BlueSky due to an age verification law?! They're going to try to do that in Washington State! COMMENT and CALL on this one! www.wired.com/story/bluesk...

I gotta stop at one of these ferreterias and get myself a ferret.

Now you can sleep with me! Got a daki design from @chatski.bsky.social~

On my way to Puerto Vallarta for the first time since the pandemic. It’s going to be a little weird because I always used to join my parents down there and now one of them is dead and the other is in no condition to go anywhere.

the discourse on what jobs are acceptable to replace with generative AI reveals a lot about what we think of other people's jobs

how the jesus christ is anyone fucking liking this shit that is SAYING that trans men ain't even men, that they are emulative of men. How the fuck is any of my goddamn mutuals liking this radfem shit. Fucking hell. Disappointed. Radfem bullshit of this kind is not any better with trans flavor.

Now you can sleep with me! Got a daki design from @chatski.bsky.social~

Pro tip: if your Mayor or your City Council are talking tough about ICE, demand that they take steps to limit local cops from sharing surveillance data with ICE. If they don't, they're full of shit.

I’m fundraising for Al Otro Lado, an organization which provides legal and humanitarian support to refugees, deportees, and other migrants in the US and Tijuana 🐇🧡 drawnbynana.com/shop?tag=fundraiser

So none then

This used to be called the Auburn Supermall and it actually had cool themes and personality, like this entrance was all about trains iirc. Now it's the most lifeless gray with the most boring name I've ever seen for a mall. "The Outlet Collection"

Is that the one with the M&Ms in it

"Come to this inclusive meetup! " "Oh cool sure" "Were going to start by going around the table and introducing ourselves with icebreaker questions" My autism: "we're getting the fuck out of here as soon as physically possible "

One of the most annoying things as a poly person is the person who approaches your partners like they think they’re in some kind of competition with you. Bud, if you start from a position of not respecting their existing partners you’ve already lost.

Though I love the flexibility of the ASM Hydrasynth, after having tried out a Novation Peak the Peak sounds better and it isn’t particularly close. Of course, the Peak is also twice as expensive, so.

"That is not an identity, that cannot be part of your identity, you acting like it is is insulting to real queers like me, you are making a mockery of my oppression" eat my shit and hair

Grandma was watching the news about the ICE shooting that happened today. Grandma: “What does ICE stand for?” Me: “Immigration and Customs Enforcement. They—” Grandma: “Oh, so they’re Nazis.” If Holocaust survivors can tell, so should everyone else.

What if in VRChat the default neutral expression for everyone's models was FERAL SNARL

"But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. [...]" "...There’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for."

I'ma be honest, if you're talking to someone and they start disparaging furries—make them feel awful about it IMMEDIATELY. People should be made to feel embarrassed for talking shit about folks that do not affect them one bit. Don't ever roll over and try to play along; call them out on it.

Every last fascist throughout history looks like a preening rooster, has no drip, doesn’t fuck (not even D'Annunzio; he never fucked, he only raped women), looks like a gross freak, says the worst shit ever, and their track record is mass death. But the press love them, they can’t get enough of them

I was like “these guys did the Stranger Things theme so surely their music absolutely fucks, right?” And it does. youtu.be/JVTwlpBTrUg?...
