proposing a new tgirl hrt starter pack: estradiol valerate 40mg/ml +3-6-month course of varenicline

Rudy Giuliani is in stable condition and resting comfortably

one of the funnier things that could happen is if giuliani died and trump died right after that, overshadowing giuliani

A big thing about clinical psychology and therapy that I wish was more commonly understood both among patent and practitioners is: Disorders don’t cause symptoms. Collections of symptoms get interpreted as disorders.

I saw them perform this live at Coruscant and this old guy and his pet twink in the row behind me wouldn't shut the fuck up about Sith legends during the entire thing

not sure what we're supposed to do with the cognitive load of literally getting lied to, scammed, and fucked with every single day in our inboxes. absolutely deflating to live in a world where my first instinct is to say "scam" and be right 99% of the time. exhausting and ridiculous existence.

I read three chapters of a book and was flabbergasted at how bad it was, and then I looked it up and it has over 60,000 reviews on Amazon and over a million ratings on Goodreads (both largely positive). Impostor syndrome is fake you don't have any excuse just make something

Martyrdom of Saint Simon Zelotes, Saint Judas Thaddeus, by Martin Johann Schmidt, 1796

there’s an objectively correct answer and it’s Live Más, you can instantly imagine 5 - 10 incredibly self-serious heartbreaking episode storylines that arrive there, my favorite is “Don Draper has seen Angels in America”

How llms work is literally on wikipedia. Its stats at scale. Stats at scale isnt thinking, it wont ever be. It will never be sentient. Its all so silly. They need you to believe this can become AGI for stock prices. That's it.

Someone said these were the inverse of each other and I can’t stop thinking about it

Writers are like: this protagonist is cool and sexy. He's an alcoholic writer and he's divorced.

Annnnd the Governor just made the bill official. A democratically elected official just had his would-be job role made obsolete. The legislature and governor literally phased his position out of existence. This some post Reconstruction Era shit. www.wwltv.com/article/news...

i really gotta go finish Promise Mascot Agency

the formative supreme court for most of the political class was quite literally the one period in its history when it wasn’t terrible so there’s this view of it as a much more noble institution than it actually is

maybe this superlative matters, maybe it doesn't. let's not forget Rehnquist and Scalia, who respectively molded the modern conservative judiciary's conception of civil rights law and invented textualism. neither are mentioned in this piece.

it's a white supremacist party and its goal is resegregation

The silly Cable Ace awards no longer exist but MST3K lost to Maher and at the afterparty I drunkenly congratulated / gave him shit about it. He was scared and instantly hated me. Good. Goooood.

Jesus Christ, this is more dystopic than anything Philip K Dick ever wrote but it’s what the Russo Brothers want for your AI Slop future

[robbing convenience store at gunpoint] give me everything in the cash register, no sudden movements, hands where I can see them. Nice. Now log into your social media account, go to the about section in your profile. Put your pronouns back. Traditional or neopronouns only, no rightwing dogwhistles.

Please stop asking AI for legal advice. I got yelled at today by a person who was convinced their GenAI was right and I was wrong on a legal issue bc "computers can't make mistakes." Worse, the GenAI assured the person (wrongly) it is covered by the same attorney client privilege that lawyers are.

Been playing Cyberpunk lately

things are going great over on r slash github copilot

i love the nba but it's not a sport. any physical competition held indoors is not a sport, it's "horsing around," a category that also includes hockey and many baseball and football games. nascar's place in this discussion is unknowable as no one is certain of whether being in a car counts as inside

[bluesky users] god this site is so annoying [someone on twitter] bluesky is so annoying [bluesky users] how DARE you, just leave us alone in our beautiful garden

this is the reason i yell so much about literacy. it's not an exaggeration. the average replier quite literally does not know how to read. three-cueing is like trying to cook blindfolded based on the smells you imagine for ingredients you've never used after watching a recipe video

"penultimate" should mean either the last or second to last of something. make people figure it out through context, it will toughen them up

lol the shooter has a BLUE SKY ACCOUNT, well here’s one excuse that won’t work:

When I’m too drunk to remember the word “ravioli.”

finally learned what "yellowstone" is and i am rotating the gen-x lead-paint graph in my mind rn

moral quandary for normal people: would you go back in time to kill baby hitler moral quandary for media people: would you go back in time to kill hitler in 1941

driving discourse is so silly. i'm very good at driving and everyone else is very bad at driving and also they're all bad people. what's there to even debate?

as much as i despise AI, i have to admit that it has made it possible for anyone, no longer just the very wealthy, to be a big adult baby who doesn't know how to interact with normal people and throws a fit whenever they don't get their way

USERS: you're alienating the people who actually use your product BLUESKY: likes are now florps USERS: what BLUESKY: images goes sideways

so they're afraid we're too hot and charming? 💅

The entire purpose of medical gatekeeping is to PREVENT medical treatment. Medical gatekeeping is NOT for the patient's benefit.

The main thing in art and entertainment to keep your finger on the pulse of the fans and what they want, their feedback is so important.

learning alan dershowitz was still a democrat this whole time is like when i learned i was still subscribed to espn+ after not watching espn+ for years

You can’t call insurance CEO’s “murderers”, okay? They don’t murder people. Instead they merely prop up and administer a complex rube Goldberg structure that grinds living human beings into a fine slurry. They do this for financial profit. That’s not murder. That’s not murder.

pillars of eternity/avowed should let you kiss xaurips

letting the trans woman take the fall for what's obviously a fundamentally rotten workplace culture could only save them for so long

I’ve seen exactly one company act this egregiously shitty to their customers: Oracle. Anthropic just has to start suing people for Dario Amodei to fully become “Wet Larry Ellison”

it's actually pronounced Nier Awe-TAH-ma-tah

i think they would find gender insecurity in any profession they found themselves in, tbh. like, i think the causality is the other way around. they're starting at "masculinity is under siege" and using this axiom to explain why they're unfulfilled in their careers.

how much startup capital did they get from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints?

when you're mean to me on the internet, this is who you're being mean to
