My take from this is that Matt Goodwin only ever learned to count to five.

One defining moment of the Biden presidency for me was seeing his administration solidify protections for trans athletes and the media immediately jumping in to twist this into being an anti-trans move

I see the Blueskiers most in need of lurasidone have once again found my posts.

incredible that this buck naked guy standing in the jungle is like "you fucking idiot go get antibiotics"

"Snuffbait bodhisattva": you can't hurt me, I'm speedfreaking so hard I'm clearly in the middle of amphetamine psychosis. This website only appears to be free. In reality, it extracts a cost not denominated in dollars.

"A mask and a dress". Uh-huh.

W. W. Denslow really knew how to draw a hot woman.

I am now a transgender Wizard of Oz truther.

"political cartoon about the idea that it is wrong for cats to take over the government, in the style of Ben Garrison"

You all started it and we fucking finished it.

Skill issue, Ted. Skill issue.

Can we recreate the Tobermory ASW training school experience just for Dort? Have a guy pulling slips out of a hat and announcing "another torpedo has hit the left engine room" or "there's a fire in the forward magazine" until, ten minutes in, Dort "loses the wargame"?

A very productive day in conlanging: in developing a verb for "playfully choking/erotic asphyxiation", I developed the beginnings of an agent noun formation system and produced an "untranslatable" semantic distinction, while the verb itself is adorably complex to literally translate.

The thing when talking about "skill" and "talent" when it comes to the visual arts is that in practice these things are highly individualized and discourse is bad for discussing such things. I personally cannot reliably write letters the same way twice in a row, which is probably medical.

There's a distinction to make between "art" and "functional images" (or "functional sounds", "functional text", etc.) which is probably necessary for talking about generative AI productively.

Trying to do the cultural critic line with [a] in order to actually defend [d] really undermines the case for [d], lmao.

Renly's basic position in A Clash of Kings is, by the assumptions of the setting, completely nutso and it's clear that he's meant to be quite nihilistic if you read his dialogue carefully... but people still follow him guilelessly.

Oh look at that. We have you surrounded again.

Hot take about A Song of Ice and Fire: these are ordinary 90s fantasy bricks with more cussing and belabored length.

getting divorced from my wife due to her discovering an illicit affair between myself and the AI chatbot of Detroit Tigers outfielder Kerry Carpenter

Every one of these words is in the Holy Bible:

We need to pass laws requiring every federal law enforcement agency to account minutely for every use of a plate carrier, and each individual plate, separately checked out and tracked, and then hopefully we can torment the tacticool operatorz into resigning.

A note here that this probably reclassifying about 2% of the federal workforce, but it also is going go to SCOTUS sometime,idk, probably next year.

Oh I see the Onion guy is lying for the likes again. But this time about Waymo...?

Obviously as a trans person, I am not a fan. But I admit I thought there were more degrees of separation between Harry Potter lady and Robert Mugabe.

Young progressives are not the base of the Democratic Party.

Look at me, I'm shaking in my little space boots. Maybe before you post such dire threats as these, check to make sure they don't sound like the user interface for one of Telltale Games' products.

shame leaves my heart.... its replaced by women dominating women

One day, the Man in the Yellow Hat and Mrs. Needleman took Curious George to visit the CERN supercollider.

This chart seems to suggest a striking pattern: Kevin Warsh's speeches are consistently hawkish, except when Trump is President and about to appoint a new Fed Chair. www.economist.com/finance-and-...

We should simply adopt Polish orthography for cz and rename the semi-official US government posts "Chars". The Drug Char, the Inflation Char, etc.

I am feeling the urge to do something with the fact that in Zeta Gundam people get very obviously possessed by space ghosts and this goes only lightly remarked upon.

PAs? Are they fucking stupid?

Cranky because you tried to use a bike lane as a turning lane and a bollard wrecked your bumper, aren't you?

"and that's why immigration is good" No! Immigration is good because the free movement of peoples is good! Justifying immigration sorely as a source of labor because your population is incredibly rich and small means enshrining keeping other populations poor and large!

Good morning, Western Hemisphere folks! Is Shirley Jackson's WE HAVE ALWAYS LIVED IN THE CASTLE an example of a literary sapphic siscon novel? You're welcome!

I still think about this “I have autism” elephant

Spotted on Facebook after the July 2025 border clashes with Thailand, AKA before the Cambodian military really got a pummeling. No word if eating raw beef was a contributing factor

#Chainsawman Posting some Quanxi today.. (Her Anime debut gets ever so closer..)

It appears that unregistered Starlink terminals in Ukraine, which are only used by Russian invaders, are going offline. Russian military bloggers are furious, cursing Elon Musk.

My wife is high-key angel-coded. It's wonderful.

Is there any hint at all as to why the CIA deleted the entirety of the World Factbook, including the archives?

I specifically want eight 5-over-1s built around your pissant little single-family detached hovel to Amontillado you in, Fortunato.

It's true, Pearl Harbor happened because of Mobile Force being shocked to discover islands with a fleet at anchor in one bay. Never having heard of the United States before except through dim legends transmitted across hundreds of thousands of miles,
