Gasp. This means the Avengers will be owned by Me-fist-ho!

It, again, truly doesn't matter whether vibecoding actually caused the outages or not - when you start bragging about how claude is making every engineer on staff more productive and the site goes through months of persistent downtime, that's a Statement.

I need to stress again that requiring ID for age verification is technically unnecessary, and yet more evidence that the point of these laws is to end anonymity on the internet, not to protect children.

It's wildly inappropriate for someone who works as a *business journalist* to behave like a PR person on behalf of one of the very same people she and her network report on... It's one thing to comment on this 'tax the rich' plan as part of on-going news coverage, it's quite another to do this:

At the so-called "Alligator Alcatraz" in Florida, "detainees placed in 'the box'—located outside and in direct sunlight—are reportedly forced to endure high temperatures, high humidity, and 'horsefly-size mosquitos.'" www.thebulwark.com/p/we-forget-...

If they settle, I think it's an impeachable offense for both him and the AG.

Y’all. I accidentally read a YouTube comment section full of people arguing that Andor was “mediocre Disney slop” because the diversity it featured was “humans with varying shades of skin colors” rather than “white guys and various rubber forehead aliens”. I feel dirty just from reading that.

Donald Trump the President with the lowest approval rating in US History is going to proceed with straight up theft of taxpayer funds.

“Wow Hexed is exactly like The Owl Hou-”

Wow. Vile behaviour. BLOCKED! ❌ @bbsouth.bsky.social 🚫

Menopause is such a weird thing. Why do your bones go "You don't have enough sex juice anymore, time for us to turn to glass."

Superman Day but also SUPERGIRL DAY

I’d add that this is also evidence of just how mentally and morally cooked the tech oligarchy is. They used to know this was “inside voice” stuff. Now it’s meant to be the organizing principles of society.

if Tim Curry had only blessed us with this speech it would have been enough, but he has given us so much more

On the anniversary of Tim Curry’s birth I would just like to say that there are few actors who are as good as him at putting exactly the right amount of unhinged overacting and camp into a role to make it memorable. The man is quite literally an acting genius and we are all better for knowing him.

"All 26 states that enacted porn age-verification laws as of 2026 voted Republican in the 2024 presidential election, indicating a strong geographic overlap with red states. While I do hold that this doesn’t suggest strong ideological clustering, it shows a strong partisan alignment."

I wasn't expecting to see the Over the Garden Wall models there

Kaleidotrope is now open to fiction and poetry submissions.

No coincidence that Kash goes on Fox to claim he’s about to make arrests of people who supposedly rigged the 2020 election right after a story breaks that he has a serious drinking problem. A pattern of things like this every time Kash gets in trouble for his audience of one.

So here's a good example of why you have to touch as much grass and have as much "outside office"/"offline" life as possible: NOBODY has said this phrase. It's not a thing. But SOMEBODY in a groupchat or at Beshear's work said this and now he thinks it's a thing. He didn't check.

I don't care how big the project is: it reduces down to something manageable this hour, this minute. CPTSD wants you to believe because you can't eat the whole elephant in one bite, it's un-eatable. That's not true. Just break it down to what you can nibble-able this minute.

“Belarus’s parliament adopted a new law on April 2 banning ‘propaganda’ of same-sex relationships, of “gender reassignment,’ and even of ‘childlessness.’” LGBTQ+ folk are not “propaganda” or “ideology.” We’re people. We must continue to refuse dehumanising politics and resist laws that degrade us.

We are spending billions to keep our entire navy in the Strait to fecklessly fail to open a waterway that wasn’t closed until Trump’s pointless war of choice closed it. He’s just burning your tax money.

Calm down, computer software isn't making decisions about who lives and who dies in war. It merely processes a ton of data and then makes a recommendation to a human who has no realistic way to verify it

Any candidate that takes money from Palantir should not receive your vote. Co-founder Joe Lonsdale is pouring millions into a PAC to buy off Democrats, especially in California. techcrunch.com/2026/04/19/p...

Trump and his ilk hate science and want to destroy the earth.

This illustrates the need for broad and comprehensive reforms with money in politics. We need an international “No Dictators Day” before he steps up his attack on the nation he was supposed to govern, not humiliate. 😱🤬 This man is our nation’s enemy. He must be impeached. The world is watching.. 🤺🇺🇸

Why is the NYT still platforming Colleen Ballinger years after she's been outted as a prolific predator? For fucks sake, the "Toxic Gossip Train" lady? Seriously?

Image by @emoria.bsky.social Sometimes a reminder needs to be said.

The average person doesn’t give a fuck if AI has some niche use where it actually excels if used properly. In fact, that is what a tool is *supposed* to do and none of us will have a problem if it is used like that. What we see is AI fucking up real life in a massive way.

YEAH I'M A VAMPIRE!

Hey seriously, literally in the bills it says they'll also use identifying information, such as your age data for "other purposes". That means your data goes into a government surveillance database. This would be for ANY *OS*, which is the thing your fucking PC runs off of. Call your reps NOW.

The Godfather Part III gets a lot of flack but it has one amazing scene: Michael arranges a confessional with the next Pope, to plead absolution for his sins. The Pope tells him he knows who Michael is and that he isn't truly sorry for anything, so he can and will not absolve him. Just thinking.

For at least five years, I was convinced that Rocky was an action-movie franchise from the eighties with at least seven installments, because of a joke from a Simpsons episode.

Palantir put out a 22-point summary of their CEO's book The Technological Republic. It's pitched as a defence of the West, but if you read it through the VDA framework, verification, deliberation, accountability, what it's actually doing looks rather different. twitter-thread.com/t/2045574398...

⚠️ Palantir released what it describes as a vision for “The Technological Republic” in which it argues AGAINST democratic and cultural pluralism and FOR militaristic supremacy enforced by a technocratic elite who produce AI weaponry. These points stand out:

First reported by Beth LeBlanc of @detroitnews.com, U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens, who is running for U.S. Senate, was loudly and prolongedly booed at the Michigan Democratic Party convention.

I don't know much about Pokemon Champions, just that she's there. #art #fanart #pokemonchampions #kitt

Trump: "I don't have time to be depressed. If you stay busy enough, that's what I do."

Antidepressants prescribed by a dr, not ok. Psychedelics, OK for accelerated access.???

When I think about packing light, the first thing I like to eliminate is the garment that takes up almost no space, weighs almost nothing and is essential to personal hygiene

John Roberts is and always has been Sam Alito with better PR he has declared himself and his fellow republican justices the unelected rulers of America and they have wielded their power in favor of making Donald Trump of all people untouchable the court as it exists today must be broken

this kinda stuff and "who do we already know that has any name recognition at all i guess" is like the only reason schumer got behind her and mannnnnn it sucks

I do find this insistence on contingency and hedging survivors’ accounts really tedious. Andrew Cuomo was found to have sexually harassed Lindsay Boylan—and many others—by the New York Attorney General.
