‘Tis the season.

Every writer who generates a slop image for their work is a class traitor. "I can't afford a visual artist" So your solution is stabbing artists in the back? Stealing from them? Furthermore, slop-generated imagery suggests slop-generated writing. That's how you're presenting yourself.

We are parents of a trans kid and our family takes this very, very personally. If you intentionally make life harder for our beloved daughter, it’s EXTREMELY hard to think of you as an ally, to say the least. @amyklobuchar.com - you still send us requests for money, while hurting our kid. Disgusted.

Rob Reiner was one of the key people behind the effort to go to court to overturn California's anti-marriage equality Proposition 8 when it passed in 2008. Working with Chad Griffin, they founded the American Foundation for Equal Rights and got Ted Olson and David Boies to team up to fight Prop 8.

The coolest ever

insanely good thing to say when you enter a room

This MTV recording I found from an extremely golden age of 1994 is a time capsule of exactly specifically the last time the world existed before Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You,” as shown by this ominous trailer. Make of that what you will.

This is so fucking funny dude.

If you go to a burger joint and they have a $5 milkshake on the menu you’d probably think, “must be a terrible milkshake”.

This is incredible.

I can’t emphasize enough how much you need to watch this until the end

This is why I refuse to use it to write or read things, as much as my employers try to encourage (beg) us to do so. It is SO easy to lose skills when we offload them to something else. I’m not willing to become any dumber than I already am.

Grayson Allen commits the most egregious travel in NBA history (h/t @ianrea.bsky.social)

This is a perfect example as to why we need AI regulation yesterday. AI cannot be the arbiter of whether human beings can live or die. This is an excuse for insurance companies to fire human workers and make our healthcare system even more nightmarish for a quick buck.

People are dying over who gets to steal from a dude in Iowa who thinks the model who "accidentally" texted him has fallen in love with him.

I had a joke about Cassandra, it’s hilarious, but only to me.

The one thing my sister, who is two years younger than me, and I have most in common is being traumatized by the same movies we had no business watching. I’m certain that’s a staple of our generation. A partial list: The Lady In White House Basket Case Return To Oz*

so there are different colleges? i always heard people say “going to college,” which made it sound like there was just one of them, like “going to france” or something. but if there are lots of different colleges they need to come up with different names and colors and such so we can tell them apart

i wish neil armstrong had brutally flubbed the moon landing line. that's one small step for moon. one small step ON moon. for a man. one giant man.. 's leap. one GIANT LEAP for moonkind. moon man. one giant moon for manmind. you can hear buzz rollin around in the lander, just howling

We got Weird Al out here singing Killing In The Name, the time for moderation is over

A+. Perfect. 10/10. No notes.

It's hard to explain to normies how much effort Trump is putting into anti-trans policies. This is like the 12th thing just this week. And there were 12 things the week before, and 12 things the week before that. There will be 12 things next week. This is almost everything the government is doing.

@jkpolk.bsky.social this seems your speed. youtu.be/gJxzhUAGBDw?...

Consuming the Contact audiobook and Connecticut out here catching strays, “Well, it isn’t Bridgeport!” Sagan was a beast. (h/t @jkpolk.bsky.social for catching that I’m am idiot who can’t spell)

I can't listen to the song without thinking of

lol you'll never convince me a huge part of the reluctance isn't that there's no legal way to make UBI white-only. Lotta white people in this country are happy to lose as long as nobody Black or brown wins.

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

james cameron every couple of years for some reason:

Just imagining how much better it would be if ALL news stories about vaccine-preventable illnesses were illustrated with pictures of people with the disease, not pictures of needle injections. If you must show something that people will find scary & unpleasant, make it the disease, not the cure.

I will die before I let these avaricious fuckers deskill me for profit.

One thing I learned over the weekend from talking to finance people is that they assume the AI bubble is going to burst and their issue is figuring out when so they can time their trades right.

don't really think drugs, as a concept, will ever be able to recover from the reputational hit they're about to take

"oh, don't forget to highlight, in bright red, the two-letter word in the tagline! the two letter word that's kind of the whole point of this clever ad campaign! the two letter word that links this show to the horror movie of the same name!" "no problem boss. i'm on it"

America's misogyny gave us Donald Trump. And men need to take the responsibility for making sure that never happens again.

This is a huge part of why so many people think we're in the middle of a widespread "anti-woke backlash": Small movements opposed to social progress are collected into trend stories by conservative media. Far larger movements that want more diversity are ignored or cast as threats.

@baxterholmes.bsky.social tricked me into reading about basketball (Its really about Robert Caro and how all the best people adore him) www.espn.com/nba/story/_/...

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
