Just because I'm the living embodiment of the giant fist that crushes the vile and despicable doesn't mean I can't appreciate the soft and the cute. Every fist can open into a hand to give pets and skritches with.

it always blows my mind when these people act like “the left just calls everyone nazis” these days and it’s like no. we’re calling nazis nazis! there just happens to be a lot of them in and around the government these days!

“Mr. President…..Chicago is telling you to go fuck yourself”

Talked about the upcoming anniversary of the loss of my last pet with the new therapist today. Mentioned the Ball & the Box analogy for grief, and he was already familiar with it. A good sign. next time im telling the tale of my 3rd grade birthday party that i wasnt allowed to participate in

I've got a bunch of OCs that I've been writing stuff with since the late 90s, each with flaws & weaknesses. But only one is an unforgivable monster, a beast in the guise of a man who delights in committing every cruelty he can to as many people as he can. He didn't get forgiveness. He got dead.

I am Jewish. Israel is a country where sexual assault and child murder are core tenets of the culture. This country should not exist. They act with such extremity because they know when you tell people what they actually do, it's so bad it registers as unbelievable.

It is no longer reasonable to assume decency or honesty from any ICE agent. Act accordingly. They will lie. They will cheat. They will steal. They will kill. All in order to hurt your friends and family for not fitting their broken definitions of what an American is. Don’t play fair. ICE won’t.

I love CCR. What if some guys from Berkeley pretended to be waterbillies from Houma, Louisiana , as a bit

I think a real problem in this world is a lack of posting bushido. You can go to war with the mods, with the big accounts, hell with the government itself on X the Everything Site, sometimes it is the honorable thing to do. But you should have your death poem written.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a new mRNA vaccine that has been shown to suppress abnormal blood vessel growth in the retina, offering hope to MILLIONS of patients with age-related vision loss. The vaccine triggered strong antibody responses that REDUCED retinal damage by UP TO 85%.

Whenever anarchism — or any idea more radical than the status quo — gets dismissed as unserious, it's worth remembering the current system runs on things like "we put all the money on a scam machine that tells rich dipshits they're god."

Reporting from post-apocalyptic Portland: Every garbage can will dispense a whole rotisserie chicken when punched. The buildings perpetually on fire continue to have floating Go signs to the right. My neighbour is on the last of his nine life bars and he is redder and moving faster than usual.

Paypros are still throwing their weight around. Now's a good time to pick up yelling at them again!

I've never set foot in a college classroom, and never will due to various reasons including having no idea what my major would be... but the closest I ever come to picking what it *might* have been when I ponder the notion is usually filmmaking. Or philosophy. But that one doesn't make any money.

"The ones who get offended by you enforcing boundaries are the ones that benefitted from you not having any" - true fucking facts

If the shutdown continues past this month, today's grocery trip might have been the last in a while that doesn't involve theft. So you're goddamn right I got my traditional 2 small bags of mallowcremé pumpkin candies that I get every October.

5 years ago, amidst the toppling of Confederate statues, my mom tried to defend Robert E. Lee to me with the "he was loyal to Virginia, not the Confederacy" argument and couldn't seem to understand my counterpoint of "I don't give a shit where he was from, he was a racist slaving traitor".

normal person: i just want a place to hang out with my friends tech weirdo: and shitheads np: no just my friends tw: but what about hearing alternative views on race and gender? np: we just want to hang out and goof around tw: so where do the shitheads fit in then np: no shitheads tw: not following

Bluesky's current moderation policy is crafted specifically to allow the coordination of mass transphobic harassment campaigns off-site. Crafted specifically to protect one guy, a well known pedophilia apologist, harasser, and child doxxer who is *currently* openly collaborating with kiwi farms.

With the Texas National Guard being deployed to Oregon, Texas is hoping to finally win a war.

HE'S JUST SOME ASSHOLE WITH NO OFFICIAL AUTHORITY TO DO JACK SHIT

Serious question: What's stopping the State of Illinois from arresting Stephen Miller & charging him with incitement? The Senate didn't confirm him. He's just a guy. At some point, the states MUST use their authority to prosecute, because the federal government certainly will not.

A judge whose name is 'always good' stopping an evil president who has the name of a loud brass instrument is proof we are all actually living in a Young Adult Fantasy Novel.

I've known Jay for decades; they're a great friend and a wonderful person. They're a federal employee who was just coming off unpaid medical leave when the government shutdown hit: they were making progress digging out of the hole but the sides of the hole are now capsizing, sigh.

Can we get the word around for more donations to go to BlackSky so there’s funding for the infrastructure that can bring Link back? From my understanding: Relays are costly and expensive. Anyone feel free to chime in. Bluesky relays is what has him banned. opencollective.com/blacksky

In so many cases, the solution to a frustrating interaction online is to take a deep breath and remind yourself that the person being deranged to you is not someone whose opinion you would care about if they screamed it in your face on the street, and you're deforming your nature by listening at all

It’d be nice to have a single place on the internet where black people or trans people or indigenous people or any queer people can simply exist free from tech doofuses and power-mad Karens with nothing on the ball but heads full of air but thats too much like right, I guess

I know a lot of you aren't doing so well right now, but Jay, who's been a friend of mine for many years, is trying to keep their home after a series of medical crises. If you have a bit to chip in, I would appreciate it beyond words.

japanese speakers, is "ohayu gozaimatherfucker" a funny thing for the american character in an anime to say

A Texas megachurch pastor and GOP leader has been arrested for crimes against children. Not Robert Morris, a different one. Not Josiah Anthony, a different one. Not Luke Cunningham, a different one. Not Tony Evans, a different one. Not Scott Crenshaw, a different one. Not Steve Lawson, a different o

actually our AI programs are like people so its racist to say you don't like them. anyway would you like to buy one

tl;dr You should oppose the building, training, and use of LLMs with everything you've got but on its own merits, instead of doing it to scratch an itch in your brain for saying the no no word, because that's kind of fucking weird

Fuck Cancer. Becky, I am drowning in bills myself right now. I'm so sorry I don't have money to give you for such a worthy cause. I can share this though. Folks, if you can, give. If you can't, share. www.gofundme.com/f/help-rebec...

“When those Bostonians threw tea in the Harbor they gave King George exactly what he was looking for. Now he has the pretext he needs to quarter soldiers in our home. They should have obeyed the law and protested legally.”

as a girl with a PhD in natural language processing and machine learning it's actually offensive to me when you say "we don't know how LLMs work so they might be conscious" I didn't spend 10 years in mines of academia to be told ignorance is morally equal knowledge. We know exactly how LLMs work.

There's also the list of Worldwide Secular Meetings (www.worldwidesecularmeetings.com), which aggregates peer support meetings from a number of different groups (including 12-step based) that are not faith-based.

Because everything is terrible and a lot of people are struggling, I'm sharing a resource that has helped a friend of mine tremendously with their sobriety, for those who also find 12-step based programs completely offputting: lifering.org

Look if a bunch of us pool our money we could make Doc endure that 90s Yamaha magic soundtrack

I got five vaccines in three days this week. RFK JR is a fraud and a coward. He could never comprehend my power.

I can't say what I think about this without being banned right the fuck off this webbéd site, so I'll let good ol' Max provide a visual aid.

✨HELP ME STAY HOUSED!✨ I'm looking for someone kind with a spare room. I'd prefer Chicago, or somewhere with public transportation, but anywhere is preferable to the street. Rehoming myself like a senior dog bc I want to know I tried literally everything.

this is why the case to abolish billionaires is unimpeachable, the evil ones are not the exception to the rule the median billionaire is a saturday morning cartoon villain

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have made a HUGE breakthrough towards a UNIVERSAL antiviral. By targeting sugar molecules found on the surface of many viruses that SHARE structural similarities, they identified FOUR compounds that successfully BLOCKED infections from SEVEN different viruses.

I should eat, but the stomach just laughs at my hubris for thinking I have any say in the matter.

A gentle reminder: If this goal is not met, we will legitimately face homelessness. I have been working for over a year to keep a roof over our head, freelance since February due to leaving an extremely toxic job. #MutualAid #HelpFolksLive #HelpSky #BIPOCMA #TransCrowdFund #MABoost 💸💕
