The problem with the Torment Nexus is that it wasn’t optimized for user experience. Average daily users experience a ratio of roughly 70% torment vs non-torment in the nexus. The changes we’re implementing should reduce that to a staggering 60% torment. Our goal is 50/50 torment/non-torment by 2028.

this is incredibly accurate

Men would rather collapse a government than go to therapy

i don't have any chuds in my contacts

This is shameful.

checking out the destruction from all the war outside (aka crows and squirrels digging in the powdery mildew-infested garden)

many of these flowers were obviously brought from people's gardens and I'm feeling very emotional about that

To be clear, all the saber rattling is probably retaliation for this

phew phew phew

what a fucking stupid time to be a person who cares about other people

Jesus Christ

I still regularly have this theme song stuck in my head

the only film that matters

The real reason we can’t have a viable resistance is because a lot of you are just mean. You don’t have a politic , you want control and want to punish people So you have no ability to conceive actual infrastructure outside of checking someone’s deservingness

There's no path out of the crisis that comes from shrinking the circle of who deserves public services, or narrowing the aperature of human dignity. We are invariably in this together.

We don't leave people behind.

Anyone who makes these statements is using the fascists' framing for how we treat human beings and thus complicit in fascism. Also these self-righteous liberals wouldn't last a minute living in "red states", much less organizing to make them better places to live. Grow the fuck up.

lmao

Trans women deserve to be respected and treated as human beings in their own right. But cis women who support this shit also need to realize that they're next. They'll drive ALL OF US out of spaces they don't want us in.

The rage I feel at people using feminism and civil rights progress TO TARGET WOMEN is incalculable. Anyone capitulating to this kind of shit is capitulating to Nazis.

glad I live in the godless part of Oregon simply so I don't have to smell this garbage

this is some Philip K Dick shit, Jesus

incredible

jesus christ we don't even have 9/11 to help paper over this bullshit

Hell yeah Springfield

Melissa Hortman, who was assassinated last night, was the Speaker of the Minnesota House in the 2023-2024 session, when Democrats ran the state government. That means she had a leading role in shepherding the many landmark reforms that Dems adopted in that period—an important legacy. Brief 🧵.

remember when this worked and police violence never escalated ever again?

Uh, Republicans control the house and senate, do you expect Democrats can just wave a magic wand and not praise ICE and advise people to help them

I keep coming back to this: a lot of people out here demanding more foresight and self-restraint from people facing down armed agents of the state than they demand of themselves in between their work email and Pornhub browser tabs

these guys really like hurting defenseless women

Man also are these guys going to come up with anything new? Lost Cause mythology? Really?

He really loved his horse, though. Like a lot. A LOT.

As someone who does comms for a living, I can say that it actually takes so much more time to write something this mealy mouthed. It's probably run by multiple people, including legal. The only resources that are invested go straight to protecting corporate interests.

please replace us. It's been too long and we are a disaster.

Some things still shock me, apparently.

it's going to be a long summer

jfc if you haven't caught up by now you never will

preventing waste fraud and abuse

something something star wars pun

is this real life?

yeah I mean, librarians are the last people I'd expect to comply with this bullshit

FINALLY. Although I do not like the precedent this has set

oh wow phew now I know we're in good hands

what the fuck

NEW: US Department of Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy sent a notice to state DOTs, including Oregon's, warning them to follow federal policies or risk funding. This includes complying with new anti-DEI policies and cooperating with ICE and DHS. www.transportation.gov/sites/dot.go...
