Fucking TROLL! XD

I did not guess.

Shout-out to @esa.int for posting this image here and for including great alt-text (which I copied for my posting)

This one by @cengaldre.com is a perennial favorite (ha, perennial, see what I did there)

Everyone needs to stop what they’re doing and watch this video. “It seems like there’s a lack of diversity here today, and it’s mostly people who look like you and me, and I just…?” This lady’s response is🔥

The AP's story on the IOC's new policy mentions that it "also restricts" athletes like two-time Olympic gold medalist Caster Semenya. That word "also" is doing a lot of work. New piece on who this policy is actually about: www.readtpa.com/p/the-iocs-n...

People keep saying “oh so you want OPEN BORDERS” as some kind of gotcha and like. Yeah. When I was a kid you could just drive into Canada. On accident, even. It was great, and I think we should do that instead of kidnapping children. Normalize being normal instead of being kidnapping weirdos

Coworker starts the week by bursting through the door and proclaiming "Soon it'll be Friday!"

I don't care about sports, aggressively so, but watching Vasaloppet on TV today is a tradition. 90km cross country skiing, thousands and thousands of people participating. Elite, noobs on skis, and everything in between. Kinda love it.

It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker This was never about woman's sports

Detta är det så viktigt att vi pratar om! Den stora skillnaden mellan högern och vänstern är människosynen. Den ena sidan tror att människor är lata och älskar att utnyttja systemen medan den andra sidan tror att människor vill vara till nytta och en del av något större.

get in losers, we're starting the best-financed lit journal in america

This helped me better understand just how vast the distances in space are. joshworth.com/dev/pixelspa...

nobody posted the clip anywhere so i went and dug the whole episode up

The majority of the US population its concentrated in its cities. While cities don't make people like each other or stop racism or genders or misogyny, they do MASSIVELY offset all those prejudices because that clumping of diverse groups FORCES them to get along, just enough to stay alive. >

Not a projection. 450 Torches. Carried up the mountain and place correctly by 10 residents.

I told Discord that LLMs are a planet-killing plagiarism machine that also rot the brain and spit out wrong answers, and also that I am exhausted with having to kick AI out of every online/computer-based place I use. I told them I probably wouldn't bother; I'd just stop using it.

Alla som kan ett visst ämne inser att just deras expertis inte kan ersättas med AI. Vilket förklarar varför politiker och broligarker tror att vi alla kan ersättas med AI.

New: we've obtained material explaining how an ICE surveillance system, called Webloc, works. Draw shape on a map, see all phones available there, follow them home. All without warrant “This is a very dangerous tool in the hands of an out-of-control agency.” www.404media.co/inside-ices-...

See why do we have to have like bigots and Nazis and hating other people for stupid ass reasons when I just looked at my planet from the surface of another planet and I don't even have shoes on. I'm in Soft House Clothes and slippers looking at my planet on my phone. What.

wait, if I'm reading this right, not only is high fat cheese protective against dementia but so is whipping cream, my favorite food. Best news of the year!

I love the fucking internet, part 972964386: "One Night In Bangkok" arranged and performed as a 16th century chanson. youtu.be/i3jHv0GZB9U?...

Won't watch new season of Star Trek Strange New Worlds, though I like the show. Also won't be watching Starfleet Academy. The progressive ethos of Star Trek does not align with its corporate ownership. Jean-Luc would cancel his Paramount+ subscription. hugoclub.blogspot.com/2025/11/the-...

Entering my Luddite era. Not luddite as anti-technology. Luddite as in desiring to work in harmony and honesty with technology I understand and respect and maintain. Luddite as in fighting against those who warp it into monstrosity and leverage it against humanity and community and the common good.

Ibland tänker jag på hur vi fildelare beskylldes för att finansiera terrorism. I dag investerar ägaren till Spotify pengar i digital vapenindustri. Varken artister eller världsfred har verkat tjäna på det lagliga alternativet. Nästan som att systemen var riggade från början.

If writing is so easy why do people argue that they can’t do it without the pablumatic verbiage extruder And if it’s so difficult then why do people think it’s not labour and writers are not workers

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Great thread on why the Nordic model of sex work is an abject failure and the only approach that has ever actually improved sex worker safety is full decriminalization

The number of parents who gasped when we told them no, we could not tell them what their kids checked out because their kids have a right to privacy! We offered “one book cards” to kids whose parents wouldn’t agree to let them have a card. They could take out a book at a time. The FURY.

Phones and laptops must work for the users who own them, not act as “bugs in our pockets” in the service of governments, foreign or domestic. www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...

It feels like an insult to the notion of objective reality to invoke “experts” to weigh in on a numerical fact you can verify with a pocket calculator

I read 1984. And Fahrenheit 451. And A Brave New World. And The Handmaid‘s Tale. And The Giver. And The Road. And The Lottery. And The Parable of the Sower. And The Hunger Games. I know what I’m seeing.

Förtidsrosta du också!

In the end, AI will probably make social media collapse on its own. Bots interacting with bots, drowning out genuine human interaction. What’s left is just AI ping-pong and we’ll have to start meeting over coffee instead.

oof, this (and the next post in the thread)

Please could you help me to spread the word about my swashbuckling adventure story with a pirate protagonist, sapphic romance, with a dash of werewolves and vampires? My latest novel THE VENGEANCE is available in all formats geni.us/thevengeance Perfect for escaping the horrors of our time.

This is the best product listing copy I’ve ever read

Looking at buying a new cardigan for the colder seasons, not finding anything I like. Thinking to myself I should just knit one and get it exactly how I want. I haven't knit anything more substantial than a sock in... forever.

Rikspolischefen sa precis att det inte finns ett normalt användningsområde för Signal. Bra sätt att misstänkliggöra det enda kommunikationsmedlet som verkar stå upp mot bakdörrar. Läser ni på om krypterad kommunikation så att ni kan hålla staten borta från era ”DMs”?

Personally I hope we find out that what Gollum was doing while wandering about looking for the ring was either solving a series of cozy murders (Precious We Wrotes) or performing in an incompetent hobbit amateur dramatic troupe (The Ring that Goes Wrong)
