Adding random and often explicitly humanitarian Jewish people to "Zionist" lists and shrieking about killing children should be treated like the antisemitic blood libel that it is, but part of the premise of what's going on is to dilute the impact of pointing out obvious bigotry.

i would absolutely fucking own this game, all you gamers would be forced to bow to me

I'm just saying, Portland also has the most strip clubs per capita of any city in the US.

99 is a highway that divides our city. a dangerous stroad with inadequate crossing. it's a half mile walk in either direction just to cross the street here SDOT has no plan to fix this. the mayor doesn't either. we need true leadership that will prioritize safe streets.

"are video games art" discourse on the timeline, 63 wounded 184 dead

Smart move by two young upstate NY reporters: they filed a FOIA for body cameras worn by the sheriff’s deputies at an ICE raid. These are almost always civil raids so there’s no ongoing criminal investigation that would require that footage to stay confidential. Replicable by any media outlet.

First time ever doing a collab with my 7 year old on this commission. Got that real authentic child handwriting! ✍️

ok no you can’t say “only these 3 video games are Art” and follow it up with “but I’ve only ever played like 5 video games” lmao

BEHOLD! A seat thief. She is utterly unrepentant.

Um, anyone who read project 2025?

The reason no one has ever made the "what's the deal with airplane food" joke about train bentos is that train bentos fucking rule

finally some normal fucking people on reddit

Land of the free. Home of the brave.

Jews argue with God. Arguing with human leadership is amateur hour. Jesus wasn’t Jewish based on skill level deficiency.

Ok. So there's A LOT of misinformation about the government shutdown, the continuing resolution and gender-affirming care. There was one article in PinkNews that was VERY shoddy about what Trump said. So let's breakdown what's true and what's BS. 1/ www.thepinknews.com/2025/09/29/t...

People of Illinois, we need your help. Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

on today's episode of "Claire's beloved friend got fired from his church job for posting about Gaza and racial justice," he just posted on Insta about how the (white) pastor said to him straight out "if I'd known I was hiring an activist, I wouldn't have hired you" FLAMES ON THE SIDE OF MY FACE

Just a measure of how much the internet has fried my brain... almost without thinking about it, I was about to flip over to my browser window to type "companies that will make cremains into a sex toy". Because that almost certainly exists.

It’s not a character flaw to be unemployed.

except they don't want to kill god, they want to be the first to *make* god so god won't torture a fake copy of them forever in pretendy funtimes land just because they didn't make god sooner.

also jesus fucking christ i hate their fucking reskin of pascal's wager, it is SO FUCKING RIDICULOUS. i sound like i am making fun of them every time i describe it. no. fuck, but i wish i was making fun of them. i really, really fucking wish i was making fun of them. *sigh*

Hey guys, I found out what happened to the captain of the Demeter!

It might seem like a shit post, but it is the literal truth: AI companies literally ARE draining the world's oceans in order to find and kill god. (With alt text)

😂

in exactly the same sense that it is a tautology to notice that anyone who is trying to eliminate vaccines from public life is not a credible public health expert

Omg

Folks, if you're in the "Discover" feed & you respond to someone you don't follow and have never interacted with to argue with or "correct" them -- don't be surprised if that earns you an instant block.

It's basically a tautology: anyone who would say that it's ok to murder civilians for drug smuggling is definitionally not a credible legal expert.

We need a bigger tent, that’s why we must betray and expel the following types of people:

“A #unitarian exorcism.” “You mean therapy?” “Yeah.”

I try to focus this account so it's for my readers, but hey writers: NEVER sign a contract where the publisher keeps your rights indefinitely. For short stories, there should be a point when you can sell reprints. and NEVER sign your movie/TV/etc adaptation rights to a publisher. Those are yours.

You should read the whole piece from @edzitron.com but if you only read one paragraph, make it this one: OpenAI has burned so much money that there is no more money. Read that again: it's not just OpenAI that's broke. All of VC is broke. www.wheresyoured.at/the-case-aga...

I have to keep this handy when baking. 😁

Camera briefly pans past a person scrolling through a clear Twitter knock-off called “X.com” (was that placeholder text, writers??) showing video of an AI generated president hyping scam miracle beds that cure all ailments but everyone’s too poor to buy them

I feel like a website as queer as BlueSky should be more engaged with musical theater and yet

Because we don't have billionaire sugar daddies to pay people to promote our ideas and they do.

Not to dunk on Jacob here, but imagine believing a tech founder. Founders are salespeople. And you NEVER EVER believe a sales person until you see the product in action.

Legal scholars will say anything in a Supreme Court brief. "A growing body of modern scholarship reinforces the views that Charlie Brown had hoes." No he didn't. That isn't true.

Friend of mine sold the same script so many times, he bought a house and a car entirely from the one property. Movie still hasn't been made.

Zio in Italian means Uncle Zio in English was a term drummed up by white supremacist KKK grand wizard david duke as a coded way to say things and spread his hate further

Okay Bluesky... Time for that talk again...

If you're an lgbtq news outlet, your job is not, contrary to what you might think, giving every queer person alive a heart attack every morning

This is a problem w/American journalistic media more broadly. Op-eds shouldn't be byline columns but slots reporters can rotate through. I think being in an op-ed column too long breaks a lot of people's brains, just by the nature of the job and the only solution is regular reconnection w/reality...

IL folks! Call the governor's office, as well as your state reps.

Reading the section on translation, I had a huh. While many people treat the LLMs as “good enough” for translation, I hope studies for the gap to “excellent” are being done. Also, how do the translation outputs drift with time? Do the models keep up with idiomatic drift? Can they idiom AT ALL?

I just called my Congress people and reminded them that trans rights are human rights - and that human rights are flatly non negotiable.

bragging about how much gold you’re putting in the oval office while all the economic lights on the dashboard are starting to flash red and the government is about to shut down is some shit that would make the marie antoinette caricature wince
