Yes, listen to this, it's incredibly good! (Not just the song Donna and I are on)

The Luddites' actual argument was that automated looms meant expensive, skilled workers were being replaced with literal children, who were then getting maimed and killed, and maybe this is bad.

i actually have no trouble believing that all of adam carolla’s friends are rapists. that totally tracks, honestly. i don’t know why he’s telling us about it though.

Remember yall that this is a spike as they are selling shit that hasn't even been made to companies for data enters that haven't even been built yet This is some fucked up shit that is ruining the lives of the every day person to surge stock prices & appease share holders Its theft all the way up

And like to be clear, I know this because I work in this industry, the data set for LLMs is Canva slop. It’s all the billions of generic templates someone in the global south made to post on stock websites because Adobe promised that you could make money that way. Spoiler: you cannot.

I feel like I trained to be a virtuoso guitarist, and now I’m being asked to compose music on a Fischer-Price baby’s first guitar with real lights and sounds when you push the buttons! Like I have to work at the layman’s skill level now whether I want to or not, even though I have a degree.

Praetorian of Dorn may not be in the running for the best HH novel, but it is the most *satisfying*.

Why isnt a woman wearing a long sleeve flannel and cargo pants seen as modest? Becuase she isnt performing fenininity Why must one wear dresses to be modest? Because it was never about clothes It was *always* about socially acceptable gender specific performance

Don't believe me? Picture a stud or butch lesbian Is she wearing something that wouldn't be conventionally considered as showing too much skin or sexy from a hetero PoV on modesty? Why is this not "modest"? Bc she isnt performing socially accepted feminine that's why

Always remember- Modesty means performing clothed cultural femininity In reality it has nothing to do with showing skin or "sexiness" It is about performing cultural femininity

I would like to just take a moment to invite you to enjoy Cake's 1996 mega-hit 'The Distance'. It's likely that you know this song, perhaps even love it. But just take a moment to revel in the utter masterpiece that it is. Surrender yourself to it. You deserve it.

They literally want to pass laws where women face genital inspection checks just to exist in public. Of course TERFs are pro-rape.

But you see, the construction boss who drives a customized truck and collects expensive guns is salt-of-the-earth working class, while the barista who bikes and buses to work and is part of a local book club is a snobby elite.

Sometimes I think about all the Stormtroopers the ewoks ate.

Can’t get diarrhea lettuce from a cinnamon bun. Follow me for more health tips!

Plus Cinnamon Buns have known medicinal qualities.

"it's OK to be manly" sounds a lot like the male supremacist version of "it's OK to be white"

They program that shit to target the ppl they hate and want to harm regardless of "crime." It's not "mistakes." The ppl who get "mistakenly" targeted always look the same.

I refuse to weigh in on the hobbit thing, because a grown man announcing to everyone on social media that he can’t read, despite having every advantage in life, isn’t news. It’s an every day occurrence.

There are two wolves inside you. One of them is wolfing down a Reuben though, so that's actually more like 2.5 wolves if you think about it

Iranian media god damn

Back in NC I had a friend that was non-Christian from a Catholic family. She decided she wanted a set of rosary beads just as a personal heritage thing. She called the local Christian supply store and asked if they had any in stock. They informed her they were a *Christian* supply store.

we are witnessing a company who thought they invented the ham sandwich realizing in real time that they sell ham, bread, and mustard at the grocery store

I love pointing out to Pern fans how the male dragons are all colors that start with “b” and the female dragons are all colors that start with “g”.

we all agree that going to where a stranger lives, opening fire, and killing them and their whole family is murder and the people who do it should be condemned, not celebrated, right anyway, united states military killed over a million people in iraq. which was about 4x the pop. of iraq's military

It’s been noted before, but it’s very instructive how often statements by comms people at tech companies read as threats.

“‘There will be cameras in public, and if it’s not Flock, it’ll be someone else,’ Thomas [Flock’s chief comms officer] said.”

As a Pittsburgher: this needed to be reported, but the man reporting this is also a well-known abuser/harasser in labor and journalism circles. Please don’t allow Mike Elk another attempt to launder his reputation after causing harm to women, me included. My anxiety spikes anytime I see his name.

Alarming story that confirms my own reporting along similar lines: Dan Moraff, the political strategist who plucked Graham Platner out of obscurity to run for senate and barely vetted him, was barred from Rep. Summer Lee’s 2022 campaign after three complaints of sexual misconduct.

This is rape culture in action. It's not just literally about cis men raping people. It's a culture that lead to a man who SA'd multiple women being chosen by a man who sexually harassed multiple women, and supported by men who ignored both (until they couldn't) or actively mocked "HR ladies" who...

Huh. Huuuuuuuh.

The interview with the consultants who recruited Platner is wiiiiild. Really feels like a parody. And imo a revealing indictment of the supporters who are still standing with Platner. Buying into a shallow aesthetic of populism at the cost of all else. These are the kind of people they trust.

This has not left my brain in 4 days.

We're living in the Dunning-Kruger era. Those who have no idea about how anything works are getting put in charge because they're showing the most confidence. They're all, "I haven't ever died yet so I'm in charge of health!"

Pretty sure this guy was calling LGBTQ people "groomers"

What if I told you one woman, with little accountability, is wearing the name of the United Nations to launder false anti-trans forum posts into global legal fights, including the US Supreme Court? Our reporter S. Baum investigates Reem Alsalem in our collaboration piece with The Nation.

Literally Full Months of Head On Cock Action

The smart thing to do is to obviously not immediately say stuff that, 4 days later, will not have aged well after 3 more victims come forth or 4 more confessions or such. To not *have* to end up doubling down defending indefensible shit.

The "Bob absolutely did NOT murder and eat a child in 1985 and I would fight to the death anyone who claims this heinous slander" to "Ok I saw Bob's video where he admits to eating a child in 1985, here's why I still stand by what I said" pipeline.

Two year anniversary of when I first posted this comic

I will never get over the fact that we have presidential term limits because one guy kept winning and pissing off the wealthy.

LET THE POOP HIT THE FLOOOOOOOOOOR

Wait they said LOUD explosive diarrhea 🫠

Taco Bell has pulled key ingredients from it's menu due to possible contamination from a parasite that results in "loud explosive diarrhea 🌮 💥 💩 🚽 "We are currently unable to sell Lettuce, Cilantro Onion, Pico de Gallo, and Guacamole..." www.yahoo.com/news/us/arti... #FDA #USDA #Food

The games industry is making another big argument in favor of unequivocal piracy in that the only place your money is going is to the Bobby Koticks of the world and not into the pockets of anyone you actually care about

Remember how many people took this very, very seriously? Remember when it was in the *New York Times*? bsky.app/profile/rtm2...

The audicity to talk about "fighting the Epstein class" while being *Graham Platner* is... Honestly not surprising actually, this is just like Evangelicals fixating on sinister Taken-style "sex traffickers" and then defending their pastors when accused of rape.

I mean putting everything horrific about this aside momentarily, the idea that you can "ratfuck" a guy who's had a nazi tattoo for twenty years is pretty hilarious
