the “taco” thing is annoyingly twee and lib-coded but it’s undeniably true. the guy is chickenshit and will never, ever commit to a fight he fears he could lose. if he’d been prosecuted for jan 6 he would have folded like a deck chair

Elon Musk is about to pay himself your 401k, btw

thinking about that period of time where they invented the word "metrosexual" to describe a man who showers

Pride months talk: The egg prime directive is stupid and actively transphobic.

Evangelical Christians worship dominance and hierarchy. Their God is Whiteness, is Patriarchy, is every form of supremacy and domination and brutality. Their God is a man because their God is The Man, The White Man, The Slave Owner, not only The Boss but the essential Bossness.

Went to Taco Bell and saw a woman who looked exactly like the Obatarian in Yakuza 0. This haircut, this color purple, extremely loud and bright clothes. This woman is real, and she lives in Los Angeles.

This is how I finally understood my ADHD is a disability and not a character flaw. Unmedicated I would WEEP WITH RAGE and BEG myself to do things I LOVED TO DO. And medicated I'm like standing up and doing things and it doesn't feel like I'm in waist deep wet cement

You used to be able to google the time of the sunset, and Google would give you the exact time right on top every single time. Thankfully, with artificial intelligence, you can now ask Google what time the sun will set and it will conveniently tell you "I don't know."

all else aside, I think this was the start of a shift for a lot of people- realizing their government was absolutely capable of helping them, but actively choosing not to

hope you brought urine!

So much of the pandemic was us finding out life actually could be easier and better and more accessible, and then watching them peel every scrap of that back out of our hands & lives, often for incoherent reasons. (return to office!)

The Minnesota Republican Party holding a moment of silence for the man who brutally murdered George Floyd might be one of the most fucked up things I’ve ever read. Evil.

Im sorry but there is no movie made by normal individuals that would put that scene in. The mere existence of that dialogue and it somehow getting through the final edit is proof of some grander rancid scheme deep within the bowels of hollywood and the structures that fund it

The only evidence I need for Pedocon theory is that one part in that transformers movie where the story about space robots that turn into cars grinds to halt so a character can explain how it's legal for him to be a pedophile, complete with laminated card, implying he regularly does this

Not an original thought, but the far right's use of gender is a subcategory of enforcing conformity in order to subordinate the individual to the movement/state. It's not only twisted and unhealthy on a personal level but fascistic on a socio-political level.

The current vision of “masculinity” coming from the right is “spoiled asshole teenage boy who wants a mom who will fuck him in addition to doing his laundry and also will never tell him to turn off Call of Duty” and I don’t know why more Dems don’t push back on it by merely pointing that out

the puritans really were like "Yeah, well, I'm gonna go build a new England, with absolute no blackjack and hookers!"

The funniest thing about this is that Chris Nolan arguably made the most commercially successful right wing art of recent years with the Dark Knight films, and they're currently melting down at him for mildly unracist casting

Grumpy frogs in Japanese art

The "does not include nudity" thing really says it all don't it.

I’m a climate scientist. Let me fix this headline. “Nearly a century ago, scientists showed that burning fossil fuels warms the planet. Today, we know human emissions account for over 100% of the warming. Yet dark money and disinformation still work to keep Americans addicted to fossil fuels.”

Laughed at this image for 10 entire minutes

Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian homes and property across the occupied West Bank.

The way these "AI checkers" work is very, very simple. It feeds part of the text into an LLM. If the LLM predicts, correctly, the missing text, it scores that as proof the LLM produced the text. And LLM's literally stole *every fucking book and forum post ever fucking written* to train on.

Rich White Woman Sweep

Look, plantar fascitis sucks but I think this guy has bigger issues going on

How did I go my whole life until now without knowing about Vaelber Saga? Buff lesbians in a sword-and-sorcery-but-actually-post-apocalyptic-sci-fi setting? Just inject it directly into my veins.

The whole "he hates women so much he must be gay" thing deflects from how lots of men who are married to women, dating women, and are attracted to women also really hate those women

Some conservatives are closeted but when an alt-right guy is talking about women in a really demeaning way it's usually because he's a misogynist and not because he's secretly gay

I can’t get over it

I love reading CRPG Addict for things like this- an offhand question like, "why do screenshots for this game keep getting different .exe names appended?" leads to commenters assessing whether this obscure 1994 game was hand-coded in assembly or not: crpgaddict.blogspot.com/2026/05/yend...

Here's voice actor David Wald sharing how at the height of lockdown during a pandemic, Crunchyroll banned remote recording in an effort to union bust and also made it nearly impossible for him to work due to refusing to offer medical accommodations in studio.

Say what you want about the Foot Clan but clearly they understood the appeal of third spaces for building a community

I'm suddenly remembering the James Bond Jr. of Oddjob, and he's so fun looking.

modern AAA gaming is obsessed with squeezing between two rocks. the higher the budget, the flashier the graphics, the more two rocks you're going to have to squeeze through

first step: eliminate streetcars

Eating-the-seed-corn ass country. Multiple centuries of a locally uncontested dictatorship of capital brought to its logical conclusion, almost the antithesis of civilization. Our futures devoured right before our faces by some of the most worthless parasites in recent history

“Normal” is an illusion born of fear🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 You are exactly who you were meant to be. One day, we won’t need pride flags or categories, for every love and identity will simply be accepted as human. Until then, I’ll keep sending this: Your heart is precious. Your soul is beautiful beyond any label

People are like "ah hah, they're gay!" and like, no they're not! They hate women! Like most straight men hate women! Don't make me post the Marilyn Frye quote about heterosexual men loving men more than women!
