In addition to the city crawling with ICE and other feds there’s been a lot more unmarked cop cars out and about. 😒 Went on a walk this afternoon to check if the unmarked suv with lights that had pulled someone over was just regular cops and not agents kidnapping someone.

I just love waiting weeks for a doctors appointment only for them to tell you they can do nothing for you until you get some imaging done that insurance is going to try to block even though you need it. 🫠 And that’s JUST to find out if the problem is real and they can give you anything for the pain.

remeber when egg was bigger than before

AI cannot give you the ego highs that can only be found in bullshitting assignments in the last minute and getting rewarded for your procrastination. My entire time as a history major was doing stunts like this.

It cannot be made clearer. If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

I'm losing count of all the "we're clean on opsec" moments from the admin.

got sent this clip from The Basement Yard episode 395 by a friend saying "hey this is your guys" and well. they were correct. (silco is lyiiiiinnngggg) [ #art #animation #arcane #silco #vander #zaundads ]

I wish I could get into TTRPG podcasts like critrole, D20, etc but that kind of storytelling bounces off me and I have a sort of parasocial media block where if I’m too aware of the real people behind the characters I feel weird and am unable to engage outside of a normal amount and can’t do fandom

By the Campfire Light: a #BG3 Fan Comic Anthology 9 different artists present an A5 sized anthology of 50+ pages of b&w comics of the #BaldursGate3 companions. Pre-orders run from Oct 5-Nov 5, first 50 pre-orders will receive 2 free stickers! shop.hannaschroy.com/product/by-t... #fancomic

people on here are going to have a hell of a time convincing the average person to move to even more federated platforms like mastodon considering most reasonable people don’t want to use a platform where the mods can just ban interacting with other federations FOR you

Bluesky deleted my post complaining about the CEO lol. I did not delete it myself! Full on Lowtaxing from Jay here.

look ai is completely destroying the world with massive pollution and is using up water at a concerning rate but at least you get to use technology that lies to you and is the primary propaganda mechanism by fascists

Tech CEOs are the weakest of humanity

There should be way more comics about adults doing adult things. Most people are adults.

America is currently a giant experiment to see how long we can keep stuffing a year's worth of news and outrage into every single day before everyone's heads explode

- We need cheaper printed black and white comics for the love of god - Comics for adults could do crazy numbers if they actually had support, pubs are leaving money on the table - Prose authors shouldn't be hired to write comics based on prose chops alone - Cartoonists should be paid 700x more

The ICE agents deploying these are people without necessary training, those who couldn’t cut it in police training or didn’t want to join the military. They are in this to hurt people and play Call of Duty on our streets, deploying chemical weapons on our neighbors as if they’re pressing L1.

This is what every post from someone who works for bsky looks like to me rn.

This is heartwarming

Also the thing about the 'AI actress' is she doesn't exist. No, not in the sense that no AI character exists but like. There's no actual anything there they just generated a bunch of images with 'vaguely attractive white woman' in the prompt. It's a scam. It's an investment scam.

your core users are people who have already demonstrated a willingness to abandon a more popular social media site for another, in the most part for disliking the politics of the people who run it. write this on a big whiteboard somewhere in the office

Why is Dulles airport straight out of Star Wars

Hmmmm I don’t think I’ve had to do travel before during a government shutdown. How functional are airports going to be? Should I get even earlier than my usual 2 hours before flight?

*sees a bad post* rr... uuagh... hUh! ARGH *sees a funny post* ah! ahahaa... ooh, haa aah!

"How will we solve the male loneliness epidemic, how can adult men make friends in this day and age" literally just pick up a brush and buy a warhammer mini, it's not hard

bizarre and frustrating trend i've been seeing on here is people treating critical opinions of games/movies/etc. as censorship or anti-art. like saying you didn't like something is denying the artist their right to express their own artistic vision. it's not the end of the world to have an opinion

DON DRAPER: I grew up in a haunted house. I would put out bowls of spaghetti and tell visitors it was guts. Grapes, eyeballs. One of the older boys, who would lunge at people in a wolfman mask, looked after me. The only time I wasn’t scared was when I was eating Reese’s Pieces.

I didn’t know v*z*epop posts a lot of the studios animation on her personal YouTube channel with all her stuff from college still up. How on earth does that ad revenue payout get split?? That stresses me out even thinking about running a business like that.
