Absolutely do NOT give your ID or face scan on Discord. It's even worse than expected. Apparently due to people bypassing current systems, they're switching to "persona" which is funded by fucking Peter Thiel.

The older I get, the less I want to say goodbye.

Age Verification: The red cable is for the right speaker and the white is the left one.

Y'all talk misinformation as if fake content is some new thing. I direct y'all to: youtube.com/@captaindisi... (@captaindisillusion.bsky.social) It's really fun! I enjoy seeing the craft that went into ancient virii. But the real lesson is how hysteria & social pressure warp fiction into "fact”.

The thing is he's not pitching this to people who work, he's pitching this to retired people who are furious that other people might get marginally better working conditions than they had.

Don’t forget:

“If passed, the SAVE Act will disenfranchise 20 million voters.” Trump has pushed the Republicans to hold a vote in the House this week. Call your Rep and your Senators. 202-224-3121

I'm not making an accusation, but I find it interesting that I have not been able to reset my password today, considering that the metric for accounts deleted in a single day might be very interesting to shareholders.

For those not familiar with the CCPA and CalOPPA, here are the available info about what they are and how they should be protecting you from Discord's bullshit oag.ca.gov/privacy/ccpa leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_...

Also, i love this character’s design so much! Is hella cool! Another comm for garrethscove

It's so cool how a bunch of kids realized there was a genocide in the middle east in 2023 and now suddenly every major company and government is tripping over their own dicks to turn the world into an Orwllian surveillance state so that never happens again.

"Great match, Bowser!" "You too, Mario! I had fun." [sips smoothie] "... Appreciate filling in for Luigi." [big nod] "You bet!” [the wind flutters] "... Was it because—" [Sighs] "Yeah, it– I just wanted to see her." "Fair enough." "... I should have worn pants, huh?" "Yes! All the time!"

The problem with a society run by "all the most cut-throat grifters" is that they will cheat each other. Rest assured, orange-zombie will never have an omniscient bat-computer no matter how many data centers he gives away.

I never noticed this either.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

BEHOLD ✨ paw ✨ (post-TF)

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

Sunday night and still going! Slots open!!

I'm not a football guy at all, but I am very happy that most of the people around me will be in a good mood tomorrow. Congrats Seahawks and Fans!

That first photo with upside down flag and dildo squarely on housing trunk deserves a Pulitzer in photography.

Just thinking of this image I have saved today for no reason at all.

Oh WOWWWWWW. Shinedown is pulling out of Kid Rock's Rock the Country festival, and not only that, specifically because it is "divisive"

Once again, it turns out “fully autonomous” means “a guy in the Philippines.”

I think the toxicity of social media is the anxiety of engagement. It can feel like a college party or a bar: a foam of circles & clicques one is eager but unsure to engage. Now make that a party of millions and add literal celebrities. But leaving unsatisfied feel like failure, so...

“Okay Steve, try it now.”

‘Star vs. the Forces of Evil’ creator Daron Nefcy urges young artists to keep drawing in new post: “DRAW to keep kids away from generative AI!”

One of the reasons I so greatly dislike the “can men and women be friends?” nonsense (yes, full stop, shut up) is that it casts suspicion on people with opposite-sex friends instead of where it more often belongs: on people with no opposite-sex friends.

I'm catching up on @maggiemaefish.bsky.social and this video in particular is top tier. youtu.be/oLxYklZAnBs She's given me a lot to think about, a wellspring of ideas connecting the avant-garde and crass through the shared adversity of creative struggle. I hope you'll give this one a shot.

What's your favorite MCU movie? (wrong answers only)

Update: replaced GBoard with a no-frills key app. Not only am I free from irrational corrections & fat-fingering ugly "stickers" into chat, but I'm forced to concentrate on typing making me less prone to mistakes and short sighted replies. It's harder, but in the right way. I legit feel better.

Posting this because there's someone I miss terribly who's also sitting right there. (No one you know.) youtu.be/CHb2XYeXcJI Though as an aside, this video explains a lot about George Michael turning on his record label for commanding his image.. W00F! 😂

jp game developer in the 90's: so we're making a bass fishing game composer: oh hell yeah i got you [adds "drop the bass" sample] jp game developer: no no like the fish composer: what fish?

ICE hasn't stopped brutalizing people or shredding the Constitution, it's just that corporate media turned the camera as the call for action got too loud and the Democrats stepped in and made sure the issue got changed. If you sit for a second, you'll recognize that's what happened with BLM, too.

Reminder here’s some adobe alternatives, Because FUCK ADOBE….

Oh fuckin great. thehackernews.com/2026/02/note...

I KNEW IT!!

What's glossed over a bit here is it took this guy who proved it like 25 years and a huge community push and tons of advocacy to make this happen. Same with guy who figured out you should wash hands before surgery. We think "why should all this obvious shit be so hard?" But it's ALWAYS been hard

Give a man an alarm clock and he’ll wake up in the morning for free. Teach his AI to alarm clock and he can pay five cents a minute to ask “Is it time to get up yet?” over and over forver.

very typical of meta to stumble into a thriving and successful *living game* in VR and drive it into the ground
