I am still amazed that we have all of the 1920s cinema out of US copyright jail! It was a long time waiting for 1923! It was over 20 years between 1922 entering the public domain and 1923 finally escaping. And remember to untoast Disney, the Gershwin and Fitzgerald estates and Sonny Bono for this!

That doctor took one look at me and knew something was wrong. He ordered tests and I was being given blood transfusions and rushed for emergency surgery within hours. Had they called security, I would have died. Shame on anyone judging this widow’s attitude after the system utterly failed her

When I had a life threatening post operative internal bleed, an ER sent me home three times. All three times they made it clear my “attitude” wasn’t appreciated. That I was “wasting their time”. On the 4th visit they threatened to have security remove me. My then bf got loud & a doctor noticed.

🦎see also there's a bunch of studies that you're at your most capable in the 10-3 bracket so making people work 9-5 is fucking stupid and will not give you a good return on investment, nothing about business is optimized based on real science it's about making employs miserable slaves to bosses

🦎something AI reminds me of is how there's a bunch of studies that show humans can realistically only do like 6 hours of "work" which means that 8 hour "work days" are inherently stupid and worthless but people in charge don't care it's more about owning you for 8 hours time

Anyone honest about this stuff would tell you that generative AI doesn't lead to autonomous function, because it analyzes probability based on patterns in a dataset and attempts to produce similar patterns. It doesn't understand what the fuck it's doing because it's incapable of understanding.

THE THING HAPPENED

Skitty and Wailord wish you all a Merry Christmas! 🎄🎁 🎅

Merry Christmas

MERRY CHRISTMAS

The government failed at actually redacting the Epstein files because DOGE cancelled the feds adobe acrobat premium subscription is the funniest shit.

“Oh yeah? More like the three wise guys, I’d say.”

I don’t know who may need to hear this, but: Not every story needs to adhere to The Hero’s Journey template, which is not, in fact, universal, and the quality/value of a story shouldn’t be judged by how successfully it follows that template. There’s no cheat code. Sorry!

This is still the funniest thing to come out of mha

Trump gets away with lying in the face of evidence because we all know he's lying, the so-called press doesn't dare lose access to him by defying him and his fans *want* him to lie. But Elon wants to be Mr. Smart Man, and Mr. Smart Man needs to at least look like he knows shit about shit.

Elon Musk is a man who gets visibly angry if he's ever proven wrong in public by way of evidence. Images, news stories, even his own quotes. He fucking *vibrates.* Go watch that old Don Lemon interview! So it's no wonder he embraces software that lets him erode the notion of shared reality.

Wow, her powers are getting stronger.

suddenly remembering when i decided to attempt to faceswap TAS Kirk and Spock but the sizes of their faces were so disparate that i decided to just swap Kirk's eye instead

I basically just separated his features into their own layer and then filled in his face to make it blank, in order to have unlimited power with the canvas that is his head I had done this many years ago with a different frame and idk I just was taken by a mood to do this

My brain wants to assume that the show doesn't really start rubbing in Jerid being a loser until later, but no it's just there are the start. Anyway what I actually was putting on early Zeta was to find another picture of Jamaican Daninghan because I wanted to make more edits of his head.

Liberals: don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good Me: yeah fair ok, show me the good Liberals: this isn't the time for fucking purity tests you little shit

I think it’s important to insist on recalling, at all available opportunities, that this was specifically an attack on a trans instructor over an assignment about gender. Neither of those details are incidental; they are the center of the story

An easy way to explain this: Which is easier to do, bake a cake from scratch, or fix a cake that someone baked after they accidentally used salt instead of sugar?

ah... yeah that's dire.

MERRY CHRISTMAS IT'S A NEW BIGTOP BURGER

getting pretty sick of profs carefully refusing to look at the details of this ngl. they can't end your career like that, because you're white, cis and not a grad student. they're working on it, and you should be worried! but this is not yet about you

when I think back to Christmas Eve 2025 I will think about how I, a random transfem author of magical girl novels, ratio'd Governor Kotek on Bluesky

not now honey, mommy's ratio-ing the governor

Journalists and politicians who discuss Trump’s involvement in the Epstein Files should focus on whether Trump directly participated in crimes with Epstein. The cover-up is important too—but what is Trump covering up for? It’s not just embarrassing, it’s criminal.

I’ve heard most journalists and politicians say that Trump hasn’t been directly accused of wrongdoing or implicated in the Epstein Files. But, there are repeated instances of Trump being directly named as a perpetrator—by victims and by Epstein. It’s not circumstantial, it’s direct.

Soon we’re all going to be penalized for speaking unkind words about the führer and liberals — the resistance will be labeled as “Enemies of the State” and become National Security Threats. They’re going to take away our voices if we don’t stop them.

So the plan is they're gonna *break* break windows

abusers and predators flock to any worldview that promises guaranteed forgiveness and immunity from consequences.

This is why when people were going discoursey nuts over the Superboy rights issues that were going on in the early 2000s I was not on the side of DC at all Siegel and Shuster got turbo screwed and to deny that family the long denied piece of a pie that their progenitor earned felt grimy as fuck

I havent read too many but Jerry Siegel was exploited to hell & back and basically was forced to write overseas Uncle Scrooge stories for Disney’s studio program to make ends meet. His Scrooge is basically a sounding board against rich capitalists abusing and exploiting everything and everyone BUT—

Prison guards: - Watched a woman experiencing psychosis gouge out her own eyeballs. - Ignored a man’s beeping insulin pump for more than 24 hours before he died. - Left a man sitting in his own feces not eating for weeks, he lost 60 lbs before he died. All in San Diego County, last ~5 years.

I know exactly three things about Bari Weiss, and this covers all of them

Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz has said the Israeli military “will never leave Gaza”, announcing plans to establish a “civilian-military army unit” to replace illegal Israeli settlements dismantled in 2005.

kavanaugh not beating the allegations that he’s a dumbass

rightwingers privately disagree with a good bit of what they espouse because it’s not about being moral it’s about getting unlimited money and personal power

I like to imagine the family reunions between these two types of elf

We are now at the "The President of The United States Is Credibly Implicated In a Murder" phase of proceedings.
