just FYI, there were 2 shooters. after he disarmed one, the other--who was on a bridge--shot him twice

So there is already an ai-generated whitewashing campaign to bury the name of the Muslim man, Ahmed al Ahmed, who disarmed one of the Bondi Beach shooters, and replace his identity with a white guy name and that’s why even a thimble of our potable water powering this tech is too fucking much.

I remember a protest sign that read: In the U.S. we have gun care & heath control. That sums it up perfectly.

There's an affordability crisis and Republicans brought a special session just to pass a bathroom ban bill. Tell me again who is obsessed with trans people and wasting everybody's time instead of focusing on the things that actually matter.

An official Mario Kart messaging app sticker contains a one-frame Easter egg. For a fraction of a second during the animation, Mario assumes the same pose he does on the Mario Kart DS box art.

Man if you see a video of scared kids (many non-white) afraid of being shot and all you can think to say is “well their parents are probably MAGA,” you are fucking evil. Evil.

On the first day of Hanukkah, we’ve witnessed antisemitic violence against the Jewish community in Bondi Beach Australia. We must stand united against antisemitism, racism, Islamophobia, homophobia, nativism, and all other forms of hate. I mourn the lives loss. #PrayForPeace

Depending on who you ask, there are between 15 and 25 million Jews in the world. Most of us do not live in Israel. Most of us have never been to Israel. Most of us are not Israeli citizens. The city with the most Jews in the world is New York City.

It’s so striking when people focus on how horrible they felt it was they were encouraged to stay home when they could in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic and not how horrible it felt to see hundreds of thousands of people pass away from COVID-19 in the US and millions around the world.

AI has actively made life worse for literally everyone - tech is now more expensive - you cannot trust most media of reality anymore - programs barely function - energy prices - literal psychosis - your voice can be literally stolen for evil - more spyware but hey, you can avoid paying an artist.

Capitalism needs us to feel bad if we are not in its service. When we support each other, we weaken capitalism's hold on our imaginations, and capitalists rightly feel threatened.

Most people do all they can to support themselves. People don't want to be mooches. It's just a fact most of us need support from others, but people are socialized not to support each other.

Ah, if only I lived in this world:

Men who can't mend a hole in their pants or cook a meal from scratch will insist to me that I need to be drilled on gun safety despite not handling any because "you never know when you might need those skills, it's about being prepared to navigate life's surprises!"

I refuse to let this era be defined by the sick villains and spineless cowards. We are surrounded by everyday heroes and they will keep emerging.

It’s really funny how my middle class parents will listen to me mention a financial struggle like oh that’s too bad! Poor you. You got this. Definitely not considering dipping into what we have for you. This is the boomers with broke ass millennial children.

I see a lot of people who now spend more time promoting for sales than writing for themselves. I’d rather work two jobs and write for myself than write to feed myself. And maybe that way I’m free to write what is more meaningful. That’s just my take. Do what you love for the love of it.

If you're looking for the proper anti-Zionist response to the mass murder in Australia, it's pretty simple at this stage You just say, "Holy shit it is really bad that that happened, and I hope the perpetrators are brought to justice" Keep it simple, folks

My most fundamental belief is that we do not have to live like this.

This man is a hero who saved countless lives. He's the best of humanity during the worst of it.

friendly reminder that you didn't waste your year. any moments of happiness or comfort. any small accomplishments, they all matter. this has been a really hard year, and simply surviving is something to be proud of.

I had my first person show up to try and "um akshually, we were just debating his gun handling technique." I was so clear. Perish.

Lol the crazy thing is, no, you’re not running out of good ideas. There are tons of great ideas everywhere. You’re just not willing to fund them because you’re all cowards.

Boomers will watch their kids become homeless while they have more than one home & take expensive vacations. They do this, I've seen it.

If you ever feel like taking a bath, but you don’t really have time, just try washing a teaspoon.

People with serious mental illness are in far more danger of being murdered or attacked.

'Pluribus' is officially now the most-watched show in Apple TV history 📺

this is the realest shit ever posted and when you become a parent you spend a lot of time internally screaming about it

A lot of car discourse stems from the fact that cars kill pedestrians and cyclists regularly to very little consequences

This is funny … it doesn’t seem that way at first but it is very funny wordplay

Writing tip: If you're writing a Stranger in a Strange Land story (displaced into a different time/culture), look for moments to demonstrate cultural dysphoria by referencing their native background. A custom they go to do that nobody recognizes. A song they hum until they realize nobody knows it.

Bully them everywhere.

I haven’t been this excited for a bubble to burst since I was a toddler.

And particularly for people with our kind of neurodivergence, it's really the *only* way to flourish. We're always going to make the weird little odd-shaped things that won't fit into traditional slots.

I’m not saying “just quit your job and start a new thing”. But in the long-term, slowly moving towards community funded, self-published projects gives you license to be yourself, in all your glorious weirdness, without anyone being able to kick over your sandcastle.

Doing your own thing takes time and energy that a lot of us don’t have. When my career collapsed around me as the world descended into far-right madness, I really thought I was done. I couldn’t imagine having the energy to start again. But I did - and I did - and thank GOD.

To write books that aren’t in the hands of an editor who might leave at any moment, leaving your book with people who don’t give a fuck about it. To write shows that you can actually make, rather than selling script after script that dies in development. To not have to simper and fawn and pander.

It may not feel like it now as marginalised people and their allies are edged out of institutions in the arts - but those institutions are unreliable, antiquated and at this point, bending the knee to fascism. It’s absolutely the best thing artistically and financially to be free of that.

It's funny, I bet a lot of Americans still think the government protects them against being captured against their will if they've done nothing wrong. ICE should be showing you on a large scale that's not true, & people who've been involuntarily committed, literally forced into a psych ward, know.
