Never make eye contact with your spouse even during your wedding embrace it’s threatening to them, also we *do* wear tuxedos and wedding dresses even though it’s in a different galaxy 10 billion years ago

I feel like this is sort of an ideal wedding where you kiss awkwardly and then fight with laser swords

lol they literally talk about it like they’re trying to use lawyerese to outsmart an ironic genie

Come on now. Who needs AI anyway?

Meet the island of "Cadifornia". Next to Cuba. On a paper instrument of 1710 printed in Germany to measure global time and more.

I have made an important decision, one with major repercussions for years to come I'm going to start watching Supernatural for the first time today

🧵 UPDATE: WHO has released a full situation report on the Hondius hantavirus outbreak. New details change the picture. Here's what's new: www.who.int/emergencies/...

The truth—White enslavers didn't want to let Black people go. An entire system was created to exploit free Black labor. It still exists today. Sometimes, we have to remind y'all. *sip* 🔥☕️ #ProudBlue #ResistanceRoots #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory theconversation.com/exploiting-b...

Slavery never ended in the U.S. Ownership just went from private to public. youtu.be/UcCxsLDma2o?...

...Is it really AI psychosis if his brain was already rotted like that before getting addicted to AI?

"Never hallucinate or make anything up." yes, you can just demand that the LLM not make errors that's definitely how the technology works

Wait hang on, I just put this together… Is the *entire* patriarchy built on this? This one…exploitative…thing? Adult men wanting to boff girls half their age? Have we built literal millennia of toxic, violent civilizations on this? Rabbi, please tell me I'm wrong…that it's not really that bleak.

Oh, dammit, another one of those moments when you put a few things together and connect a band you like to a story you heard a long time ago about another thing and it turns out the guy is the same guy in both things and one of those things is a 37 yo dating a teenager he met when she was a child

No actually a lot of it is built on domination, control and the exploitation of labor the child rape is only a symptom, imho, of the other. Because if you desire actual adult women, well— their brains have matured as well and that’s threatening as shit

If you'd like to learn more about the many different bricks of Chicago, may I suggest www.brickofchicago.com They do walking tours of Chicago where you can see and learn more about the beautiful brick used in buildings there.

Biff Tannen would've done better, tbh.

As an outbreak, #hantavirus on a cruise ship is more interesting than alarming. But it should serve as a warning sign to the US, which by withdrawing from #WHO has cut itself off from WHO's outbreak intelligence network, writes @krutikakuppalli.bsky.social. www.statnews.com/2026/05/05/h...

Can’t believe how casually and neutrally a violation of rights in a state’s interest can be discussed. Again: imprisoning all men aged 17-25 might greatly reduce crime but there are excellent reasons not to do it!

It's too early in the morning for some people to be as goofy as they are. Fucking weirdos.

Researchers looked at whether a tried-and-true poverty alleviation effort that gives cash and coaching to households, and is typically implemented in rural areas, could work in an urban setting. n.pr/3QREdO7

I know I’m late to the game here, but hey, better late than never. That other neighborhood is messed up to the point of no return. Hello Bluesky!

He so desperately wants the bad actors in American public life to actually be good people with noble intentions who just happen to have good faith disagreements with liberals on subjective questions of optimal public policy. Just wishcasting Vinick from the West Wing all day long.

That’s it. Evidently wants to live in the fictional universe where we all share the same positive values, we all want the same broad goals, we just have some good faith disagreements on the details, priorities, and means. Will pretend that’s the universe we’re in no matter the facts or consequences.

Ezra Klein’s main contribution to American political discourse is to mislead his audience about prominent far right figures, sanitize and normalize them, tamping down opposition. Charlie Kirk did politics exactly right, be more like him. Elon Musk cares only about cars and space, admire him. Etc

Oh how she rocks, in Keds and tube socks.

One would think he would have learned his lesson after bringing Elon out.

Fun fact: There's a virus family called Corndogviridae

telos--the "natural"--as a metaphysical concept, is an empty signifier, an word-sound designating nothing coherent. on the other hand, artificial teloi exist in as much as we create them: causal feedback loops between our minds and the world, reflecting back at us what we ourselves have made

As someone who’s read a ton of aviation history, it’s filled with genuinely insane women doing totally insanely risky things with aircraft

elinor smith was a licensed pilot at 16 and almost lost her licence when she made a stunt flight under all east river bridges at 17 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elinor_...

My favourite along these lines is Joan Hughes, former wartime ATA pilot, being hauled before the beak for flying "Thunderbird 6" underneath a motorway bridge in a manner offensive to the Ministry. She claimed it was safer than taxiing gently underneath it like she was "supposed" to...

“women are naturally risk averse” is such total bullshit lol

it's a central example of what i call an artificial telos: "it's not natural for women to do X, therefore women can't be allowed to do X, and look therefore women don't do X, proving that it's not natural for women to do X" www.patreon.com/posts/chapte...

idk how much New York left/labor history you need to imbibe to realize that cops regard our political commitments as having made us likely criminals, and then live your politics and life accordingly, but

scores of young immigrant women, living on the Lower East Side more than a century ago, didn’t strike and take arrest so we could pretend this isn’t how this has always been

If you are the editor of a journal and you have received a submission from me that looks a bit weird (weirder than usual) please assume it is a LLM-generated paper from a ghost author.

worth noting here it's not just Wyoming where Republican lawmakers are openly saying they want to boost the state's population by forcing people--even teenagers--into childbirth From a 2024 lawsuit filed by the Attorney Generals of Missouri, Kansas, & Idaho: ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

There shouldn't be a single article out there wondering WHY hotels are under booked this summer even with a world cup coming to the country. It's clear to anyone with a pulse why
