I know our expectations for this administration are in the basement but it is INSANE they started a war without a plan for the Strait of Hormuz.

AOC came out swinging against age verification legislation and somehow the entire tech press seems to not have noticed?

Every day of life under Trump is waking up to a headline like, “Wyoming is missing”

america is the land of opportunity. you could become a navy seal, and then even a US senator, and before you know it you’re breaking a marine veteran’s arm with no repercussions. greatest country on earth.

AI cameras are everywhere — and people are paying the price for their mistakes Flock Safety's license plate readers are used by police in thousands of communities. When the cameras make mistakes, the consequences can be severe.

'Flock Flocked up'

How a license plate camera misread unraveled one man's life.

Horrifying story of Flock misreading plates.

The driver was then mauled by a police dog while officers comment he is acting like a petulant child.

The license plates weren't stolen, and he was the registered owner

the poor can't though. they are followed much more closely when shopping at frou frou shops, more likely to be referred to police or banned for real, and of course they mostly are not shopping at whole paycheck, they are shopping at other stores with less permissive policies

boy in retrospect, really shouldn’t have elected the worst person in the entire country president. that, it appears, was less than wise

so the third episode of oreimo is titled There's No Way My Little Sister Can Be This Cute and the series title translates to basically the same thing but after the third episode kyosuke never seems to think kirino is cute ever again. what happened? is there really no way his little sister is that cute? did he give up on her cuteness? every episode after is titled something like There's No Way My Little Sister Can Do XYZ and every episode she does XYZ suggesting that there is a way his little sister can be that cute. but what's the point in that? where's the conflict? either kyosuke has accepted that his little sister can be that cute, in which case, end the series. there's nothing more to be discovered. the sky is blue, microplastics pollute my bloodstream and kirino kosaka is cute. it's just a fact we have to accept at that point. but what if there really is no way his little sister is that cute? what if it's impossible for his little sister to be as cute as he seems to try to deny she really is? in that case, i'd have to ask, why is he lying to himself? what's wrong with his little sister being that cute? why is kyosuke kosaka incapable of accepting that kirino kosaka might in fact (yes, in fact) be cute? what happens after that acceptance that he's so afraid of? is it worth lying to yourself for the rest of your life like that?

bluesky being immediately negatively polarized into going with skeets because we were asked not to was the first sign that we were going to make it as a posting site

you ever think about how right wing politicians the world over are always huge fucking racists

James Talarico: No one's ever asked me about the cost of housing. The only thing the media wants to ask me about are trans athletes.

The only minority destroying this country is the billionaires. Trans people are 1% of the population. We are focused on the wrong 1%.

i'm not convinced there's a secret conspiracy inside the secret conspiracy for the simple expedient that elite groups are dynamical systems. sometimes your haters just move on you. ⅓
