Yeah man we should really fight back by staying on X

Big rec for this! Wonderful characters, delightful romp of a story

Do this to voice your outrage at Disney's unjust cancellation of Kimmel and other people's shows for simply practicing their free speech, ASAP.

if someone quotes Leviticus saying gay people should be stoned to death, and calls that "God's perfect law," it's accurate to say they called for gay people to be stoned to death. Likewise, it's inaccurate to say they never called for it. bc I can parse language and understand how humans communicate

Mainstream media's Charlie Kirk narrative: Sure, he believed LGBTQ people should be stoned to death, black people are inferior and unqualified, women are only meant to serve men, 10 year old girls should be forced to give birth. But he meant well.

lol that tears it. re-entering society as a mets fan

"The best way to honor Charlie [Kirk]'s memory is to continue his work" this is yall's presidential candidate?

Watching conservatives refuse to say Melissa Hortman's name is fucking infuriating. A Democratic elected official was murdered by a pro-Trump nut 12 weeks ago, and they can't be bothered.

turns out making the FBI focus on abuelas with taco trucks leaves limited resources for actual danger

I have absolutely zero shits to give. “Let’s make one thing clear: Charlie Kirk was the victim of a shooting in a country where he, along with other right-wing extremist influencers, have been inciting violence for years. — Kirk is neither a martyr nor a hero, he is a cause.” — Andrea Junker

Dude's last words on earth were trying to troll someone asking about gun violence and mass shooters by saying "Counting or not counting gang violence?" under a banner that said "Prove Me Wrong."

Lots of this going on

sit with this quote for a minute

It's such a strange, revealing argument. Why should any of us give a shit about protecting people in Epstein's files? Why do they think we do? Since when is the most sacred tenet of society "privacy for relationships of the rich & powerful with the pedophile child trafficker"? Reveal them all.

a) ok you SHOULD read to the end of this, it's amazing b) this has YULETIDE FANDOM written all over it c) oh god do you think the onion guy knows that this is right in time for yuletide d) surely not

The morning’s bright the sky is blue and we have a teaser trailer! WAKE UP DEAD MAN the new Benoit Blanc mystery, in theaters Thanksgiving and on Netflix 12/12

Alright, so I've been afraid to say this out loud, but I think after today, I can say it: In the first Battle of Los Angeles, the good people of LA County have prevailed. We beat ICE back. 1/

incidence of actual crime has gone down but people hearing about or seeing crime has only gone up, first with television and then with social media, amplified in recent years as the algorithms have been taken over by reactionary oligarchs

Today in GREAT news, @kjcharleswriter.com’s Will Darling books are coming out in French! First one is already available on Kobo, second for pre-order. Never bought something faster in my LIFE

CNN: “250+ news outlets from over 70 countries will simultaneously black out their front pages and website homepages, and interrupt their broadcasting to condemn the murder of journalists by the Israeli army in the Gaza Strip.” www.cnn.com/2025/08/31/m...

outlook wants me to sound like the bad imitation of a leprechaun. why.

this should become a thing, putting up signs like this for every arrest & disappearance in public spaces. it would likely break into lower info, less politically engaged demos and local social media groups

also we have the contractual language now and it didn’t ban disclosure. but ah, what if creators thought it did?

So many netizens tonight seem to be indulging in the kind of hopeful flights of fancy typically reserved for kids on Xmas Eve. It’s all silly, of course. But seeing the joy it brings warms the heart. We haven’t lost the capacity to dream.

#tw #suicide ChatGPT seems uniquely capable of creating cults of one. A lot of people are susceptible to cults (love bombing, cutting off from their friends) but cult leaders are rare. Now ChatGPT can be your personal cult leader 24/7. It must be destroyed or this will keep happening

I considered writing a long carefully constructed argument laying out the harms and limitations of AI, but instead I wrote about being a hater. Only humans can be haters.

THE DEMOCRATS HAVE FLIPPED IOWA'S #SD01 (Trump+11), BREAKING THE REPUBLICAN SUPERMAJORITY IN THE STATE SENATE: Catelin Drey (D)- 54.5% Christopher Prosch (R)- 45.5%

I got the complaint in the horrific OpenAI self harm case the the NY Times reported today This is way way worse even than the NYT article makes it out to be OpenAI absolutely deserves to be run out of business

A reminder that Open AI also markets a Looksmaxxing tool to teens and that Adam Cain was, according to the NY Times article, into "Looksmaxxing." How bad is it? I tried it myself a while back. It's a suicide machine.

Well, I'll be damned. It's royalty free and there's already six, generic manufacturers lined up. newatlas.com/infectious-d...

Genuinely one of the best lessons in life is “anything worth doing is worth being terrible at, to an embarrassing degree, for a long time.” We actually often are great at this naturally as kids—including the iPhone kids, many of whom craft and learn Japanese and write poetry and play guitar, too

I say this extremely seriously: one of the main skills children have to learn to be adults is to do things they *don't* find interesting. This is both because many necessary things in life are boring and because sometimes interesting things take time and effort first.

Wind and solar combined were at 1% in 2005. They will hit 20% by 2026 The renewables revolution is unfolding live, fast and furiously: It's exponential, global, and this decade. Just look at the data and do the math www.carbonbrief.org/iea-renewabl...

MIT’s NANDA initiative found that 95% of generative AI deployments fail after interviewing 150 execs, surveying 350 workers, and analyzing 300 projects. The real “productivity gains” seem to come from layoffs and squeezing more work from fewer people not AI.

When the Ford government announced that it was forcing the Somerset West Community Health Centre to close its supervised consumption site, they quoted unsourced stats about local crime rates. They lied. Crime actually went down significantly when the CTS was open.

Someone in the comments called her the spiritual successor to Mr. Rogers, and I agree.

theres only way one to end this feud: rolling a perfect 6 (from brennan's interview with @variety)

Definitely Clan of the Cave Bear & sequels, and although there’s some fucked-up stuff in there, there is also a TON of like, animals and plants and EVERY craft, and soooo much more of that created who I am today

That Everton has a policy to prohibit the wearing of Palestine football jerseys—a nation that participates in FIFA events under its own flag—is the most blatant example of discrimination possible, not to mention complicity in genocide.

Yep. If I get misgendered and harassed occasionally as a tall, broad-shouldered but rather femme presenting cis woman... I always feel like an asshole making this argument—trans people should be allowed to exist no matter what—but it's a very clear example of how our freedoms are all connected

me 🤝 the US Air Force

saw this bird on the other app and a) it reminded me of Glinda b) I needed to make sure @vicmmic.bsky.social saw jt

season 1 vs. season 7

Honestly, with hindsight, Radcliffe, Watson and Grint's public statements where they sided with trans people, expressed their support with no caveats, and willingly blew up any chances at future ties to the franchise has only gotten more and more noteworthy as more actors are revealed to be cowards

Writing in a jokey tone to your wife is in fact one of the main benefits of having a wife. Once again, why are you outsourcing the fun part of existence to the machine.

mRNA tech is some of the coolest, most powerful, most promising scifi shit humans are currently doing. They are being investigated to help with cancers, autoimmune diseases, M.S., stroke recovery, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, and high cholesterol.
