Me talking to my younger child after listening to complaints about Marvel Rivals teammates: “Look, if you want to have fun, go have fun, but if you want to get good, at a certain point you gotta git gud”

I want this posted under every liberal's complaint or rationale to support someone like Newsom or the like for upcoming elections.

LRP yup yup yup I've experienced it first hand when I had a Discord server, and I experience it at work all the time. You can make all the rules you want, but some dickhead will make it their personality to skirt around the lines to get their way as much as possible, and make a fuss when called out

I love finding things that explain the screwed-upness of how major studios get away with blatantly bigoted nonsense while solo queer creators get eaten alive by self-professed innocent small beans for creating art that steps out of line

People who are desperately needy and selfish will fundamentally reject any food that requires them to go to the effort of chewing.

I read the post (it's linked in the thread) and I would argue that it's not "we expect corporations to fuck us over" because the people who get mad at friction are usually not people who get how corporations fuck us. They like corporate product because it's frictionless, and personal work isn't.

Today is the first day of Chaitra Navratri, the spring goddess festival that leads into Rama Navami, the birthday of Lord Ram. May the Mother of the universe bless you with peace and strength in this world of pain and sorrow.

here comes the sun

...and some more...

I painted my first Magic the Gathering cards 30 years ago this year! Here’s to all the friends and family who posed as wizards, warriors and fairy folk that helped me realize the art for your favorite cards.✨

The idea of a "metaverse" in science fiction, where people's only interactions with other human beings is through virtual worlds has always been a dystopian one, but idiot tech billionaires just saw cool future tech and didn't comprehend that a metaverse was a warning. Real torment nexus moment.

trying to fill up april's comm slots - I got 2 spots available for marker drawings at $200 - shipping paid separately! dm me if you want one! they're 5.5x8.5 inches

they'll be convenient enemies regardless of what they do, that's playing out in the states right now. you can bend over backwards to appease fascists and it will never work, because their whole ideology is irrational and premised on the idea of purging enemies. they need enemies to function

Good reporting. How ICE has made it impossible to hire caregivers for disabled Minnesotans. It should go without saying that caregivers go through background checks and are legal to work, but let’s say it anyway (gift link).

Mean Girls (and Boys) are often only mean to others because it's the only way they know how to lift themselves up. It is no excuse for their behavior, but since we can't change them, feel pity for them because it will lessen the hurt you feel.

Incidentally if you want to know how indifferent Nvidia is to selling gaming cards these days, they were scheduled to release a mid-cycle refresh of the RTX 50 series, a "super" edition. They scrapped it. We're not going to see any updates or upgrades to their cards for a long time.

To put DLSS 5 in perspective: the demo required *TWO* RTX 5090s. Here's what you have to search for on eBay just to find a used one. You also have to disqualify "parts only" in the filters. Then there's two pages of zero feedback scams. The cheapest used RTX 5090 bids start around $3400.

Wasn't there a whole thing last year about how women aren't embracing AI as fast as men, and they claimed it was because AI was "too scary/intimidating" for them to use.

Practice. Day 22 I used quickposes,now it's proko timer + interesting poses,less repetition,eought of free pose packs - it switches abruptly,my brain doesn't have time to process new pose.More paid pose packs.Mostly female.Portraits, ehh…😒 #art #gesturedrawing #furryart #furry

Right-wingers think it's perfectly fine to use the legal system to persecute innocent left-wingers, while most of the right have committed actual crimes. It is not only morally justified to prosecute and sentence them, it is morally required.

The rule of "we don't go after political opponents" is already dead, and left-wingers need to stop insisting it be brought back. Right-wing criminals should be prosecuted, actually. Right-wing organizations should be outlawed, actually.

Nah. People with disabilities deserve to know what Newsom's policies will be. They can't just be forced to choose between an ableist candidate and someone who gives talking points.

Initially, the part about Newsom's record on disability was just a small part toward the end. But Jarvis made me tug on that thread and discuss why people with disabilities are skeptical of Newsom. In the end, the piece is much better. www.ms.now/opinion/gavi...

I hate this so much. The Internet was a wonderful opportunity for musicians, artists, and writers to sell their stuff, and clearly, our society faced more pressing issues than coming up with more art and more books, like anthropogenic climate change, where we were making progress. But no.

People think librarians are all about books. Yeah well today I talked a young lady thru her first period cramps and got her a heat pad. Libraries are so much more than books. They're community care.

Sakura Dragon season is here 🌸. Are you ready to get the dress of this? New Sakura Dragon dresses are NEW! sixthleafcloverstore.com/collections/... #dragons | #cherryblossom | #apparel

FROST: We asked Pam Bondi multiple times, are you going to come and speak with us under oath? She would not say yes. We want her under oath because we do not trust her. Why don't we trust her? Because she's a liar.

the messaging was always “we’ll hurt the subhumans who you want to see suffer” and their base has demonstrated they want that even if it hurts them personally (cuts in social benfits & free speech, neighborhood kidnappings), so it makes sense the base’s suffering limit is the real question

LEE: I asked Chairman Comer, if Pam Bondi did not come, would he force her to or if he would move for contempt hearings as he did for other people who did not respond to our subpoena? Instead of answering as an adult, he said that I was “bitching”

there just isn't a polite way to say "I know you mean well, but frankly AI has a lot of downsides, the most obvious is it puts or keeps artists like my friends and heroes out of work while simultaneously jacking their artwork, so your eagerness to use it really REALLY makes me uncomfortable."

New Nafiri skin coming to Legue of Legends:

"It's just a bad period." A personal piece about Endometriosis.

And you know what would've made ME extra suicidal as a teenager? Thinking that there was a ticking time window to get medical treatment beyond which I was unfixable. This piece of rhetoric needs to die. Yes, transition is harder after puberty, but it's NOT fucking impossible. Cut this shit out.

It is important to stress that denying trans kids access to gender-affirming care and forcing them to go through a wrong-gendered puberty IS abuse and WILL do damage. It is EQUALLY important to stress that this damage is not irreparable. It is not "over" if you didn't start transition early.

"HRT doesn't work past puberty" Bitch, I started at 29 looking like a 40 year old coal miner. HRT de-aged me. I'm 32 now with half of that time microdosing, people need to pack it in with this doom and gloom shite.

"Fact: [Cops] never should have came to my house in the first place. Fact: If they hadn't have came to my house, they wouldn't have put themselves on the video camera and in my music career. All of this is their fault, and they have the audacity to sue me. These people, and you, are the predators"

So Afroman has a new single out about his legal battles with the Adams county Ohio police. It seems like at least partially worth a @gregdoucette.bsky.social "cops are great" comment. youtu.be/HM8Ee6pcXvQ?...
