It's funny that after bluesky said they reverted the carousel thing back to normal, they just didn't.

Most of the so-called Little Women are average in size, and Louisa May Alcott specifically mentions that She Who Sleeps, the unseen fifth March sister, is nearly eighteen feet tall at the time of her slaying by the Knights Templar.

Huge if true

finally saw the video of an author being ""rude"" at bookcon and i fear there are a lot of unanswered questions here. like: what if we didn't demand the performance of joyful intimacy from total strangers?? and what if i smash your phone with a cartoonishly large hammer???

Good lord, look at his facial expression. The only time dems ever get this worked up is when they are either defending genocide or freaking out about airport policies affecting their vacations.

Fun word: kirkling It refers to the swarm of interchangeably identical mediocre white man incel podcaster freaks who are inexplicably still alive: that guy with the small face, that guy who got a chest implant while yelling at his pregnant wife, that other guy who fucked a goat, etc.

honored, bewildered, and slightly weepy to tell you that The Everlasting is nominated for a hugo, alongside all these incredible novels 🥹

another day, another thing that makes it blatantly obvious that dems are willing partners in the fascist project

Absolutely blown away by the level of discourse here. To see my work discussed like this is such a fucking joy.

i’d been putting off sitting down to read james’ new book because i don’t know a lot about myanmar or rojava or the spanish civil war & i was worried my lack of subject matter knowledge would be a barrier…. that was so silly of me. listen to him read the first chapter. it’s so heart breakingly good.

Cory Booker loves genocide *so much* that he was the only democrat to vote to confirm Charles Kushner, Jared Kushner's disbarred convicted felon father, as ambassador to France. This Kushner. Guy just really loves dead Gazans that much. www.justice.gov/archive/tax/...

that's fuckin slavery

Fuck Sharon Osbourne

Sorry for being late to the "well that explains everything 🤦‍♀️" party

Failing to function on a basic level while simultaneously destroying the environment? Bluesky's really spoiling us.

1. In a landmark ruling, the Montana Supreme Court has declared that the constitution, one of the most progressive in the nation, entirely protects transgender people. The ruling is even insulated from SCOTUS decisions, due to how state constitutions work. Subscribe to support our journalism.

When people steal thousands of dollars from their bosses, they're prosecuted.

The billionaire sex pests pushing generative AI keep spinning up badly remembered science fiction scenarios of apocalypse, as both advertisement ("we are literally creating a god... it might be too powerful!") and as a way of shifting the conversation from its actual real world harms it already does

there is a privacy apocalypse coming, and the democrats are just as responsible as the republicans.

I want it to inspire a wave of copycat crimes that overturns the American government

Claude was down a bit before Bluesky went down, it would be funny as hell if one of the devs was like "shit fuck, welp I gotta fix this bug using my own brain like in the olden days" and then fucked something up even worse because they forgot how to program.

i would like to paint a picture for you of a house i passed today: - black lives matter sign - harris/walz 2024 sign that says VOTE and the T is a uterus - sign about how you should vote no for library funding - audi in the driveway

You can’t block bsky staff without risking a ban but they can block you if you point out that their outage was due to their stupid insistence on using ai

my friend just sent me this pic of an AI anime "see something? say something" poster from a train station. my god i hate being ruled by these unfuckable fascist incels.

There is no ceasefire, and Sama'a and her children live in fear of Israeli bombs every day. Please give what you can. chuffed.org/project/157569

Do not put Will Stancil on my timeline. I do not want to see that big child.

Stop using the word "socialist" to describe things that are not in any way socialist.

"Israeli air strikes have killed at least 4 Palestinians in the Gaza strip on Monday, bringing the death toll to over 750 since the ceasefire began" Israel has killed over 750 Palestinians in Gaza since it agreed to stop killing Palestinians in Gaza.

Gen x er calling "the kids dumb" (in reference to millennials who are basically middle aged) and bragging about their IQ lmao Never beating the allegations

Full offense if you post your IQ I think all your opinions should be discarded ♥️

Silicon Valley doesn't do consent, episode n+1

Man I didn't even know I was a girl.

I’m glad this is getting an article Note he’s using the r slur during a historic rise in eugenics aimed at neurodivergent people. What differentiates him from RFK JR? What differentiates him from those wanting to genocide ND people? Why is he using this word when even SARAH PALIN has condemned it

see y'all* thursday! *charlottesville community members who are asking our school board to abandon their absolutely indefensible decision to put cops in our schools

Sama'a's aging father has suffered a slipped disc and is now in severe pain. She cares for her husband, her children, and still finds time to feed and tend to others in her community. By donating, we can give her a little relief. chuffed.org/project/157569

and just imagine what someone could do if they were like, a senator or something

"Janice Raymond becomes czar of Boston" "The Thing goes to summer camp" "Lessons in Film Restoration from Dr. Frank N' Furter's Ghost" "The Animorphs Get in a Gang War"

Everyone's misreading the dollar's "Strength" as a "Safe Haven" again This is people getting the fuck out of the system and having to use cash as an intermediary The velocity will increase if things continue to spiral, but then the rug gets ripped out and Stagflation starts properly domestically

i don’t want my appliances to be smart or connect to the internet. i want them to do one mechanical task for 100 years

Ezra Klein is a grifter. Abundance™ is just secular prosperity gospel.

You know what film actually got the future of technology right? Gremlins 2 with the hi tech building with unnecessary tech added to everything with obnoxious self satisfied voices that dont work and just cause issues

Gah, coming to the conclusion it might be best to relocate fundraising stuff mostly to Mastodon because this place is becoming impossible.
