overpopulation is a myth and i will die on the hill that the whole idea of "don't have kids if you can't afford them" is just thinly-veiled eugenics. because guess which demographics disproportionately struggle with income inequality and "can't afford" children? (hint: it's not white people.)

omg I've had this thought so many times in the past few years. I agree 1000%

Sometimes I start up my PC and it's like "oh no! something went wrong! please give me 30 minutes to run diagnostics on myself" but then I click "advanced options" and it gives me the option to continue to Windows and everything is fine. So idk. She's a hypochondriac?

Fucking autocorrect is turning into coach z

I think it is glitching autocorrecting to ‘glorching’

Girl, I am losing my mind

Maga is fundamentally a populist white racism. The slogan "Make America Great Again" is more accurately described as "Make White America Greater." The fact that the tariff policy insisted on a 50% tariff only on steel and aluminum stems from the concentration of these groups in the Rust Belt.

The massive crackdown on illegal immigrants at the Hyundai-LG Energy Solutions joint venture plant in Georgia must be understood in this context. The scenes of our workers being chained and escorted away were reminiscent of the dragging of African slaves in the 18th and 19th centuries. The Department of Homeland Security boasted of "the largest single-site raid in history," and Immigration and Customs Enforcement even brazenly released footage of the raid, which was highly violating human rights, as if to boast of their "achievement."

Far-right whites may have secretly rejoiced. Even politicians like the Georgia governor and local lawmakers, who had been active in attracting factories, have shifted their stance and sympathized with their grievances. This is likely because it's difficult to ignore the anti-immigrant sentiment of native Americans. Like the McCarthyism that swept through American society in the 1950s, irrational madness dominates American society. The recent visa issue, which could have been resolved diplomatically with advance notice from an ally, is difficult to explain beyond political maneuvering. The fact that they mobilized helicopters and armored vehicles for show, as if they had been caught, is difficult to explain.

idk if you've seen this south korean editorial that ran a few days ago. google translate version scorched my eyebrows www.hani.co.kr/arti/opinion...

I don't think I would have changed my name upon marriage if not for the perfect convergence of circumstances that I stumbled into. My new name just sounds awesome. Probably the greatest benefit of marriage thus far

Frustrated little dude gripping a pencil saying “how do I pack this down into something I can actually share?” While swirling rainbows labeled “INFINITE POTENTIAL” float around them. Little dude frowns at a tiny grey box, exclaiming “all that work for THIS?!” Little dude shoves the grey box into another little guy’s hands; Frowning, stomping off, and saying “Here you go, I made this, it sucks.” Second little dude cracks open the box, swirling rainbows project out onto their face. Second little dude stares in awe at all the swirling rainbows now floating around them.

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑

RT if you also wish ill upon JK Rowling.

my most "friend who's too woke" take is that if you genuinely believe cats have inherent personalities based on their fur color you have a eugenicist living in your heart

Are other ppl in the US actually spelling it as "omelet" and not "omelette" bc that looks so crazy to me... or is this just a "grew up playing neopets" thing

There's something so off about the phrase "women and girls" to me... idk I've never heard someone say "x harms women" and felt that underage girls were not included in that statement... but the insistent "women and girls" phrasing seems to be very common among a Certain type of person

I'm a halfling rogue! 🥂

Why using ChatGPT is not bad for the environment - a cheat sheet The numbers clearly show this is a pointless distraction for the climate movement

I recently learned that AI art (excluding videos) has a negligible environmental impact. I'm still a hater, but for other reasons. andymasley.substack.com/p/a-cheat-sh...

No one at work is trying my Clafoutis.... Maybe I should have crossed out the word cyanide with more boldness...

My cat's pee pads only come in unscented and "spring clean" scented varieties but like what about the other four seasons. What about piña colada. Pumpkin spice. Cinnamon pine cone. Can a litterbox not be festive?

I have this strange fixation with Aritzia where I keep looking in their stores/at their website trying to understand what people like about the clothes and it never works. I don't know why I keep thinking it'll click for me

Chocolate pistachio/kadaif treats should NOT be called Dubai chocolate. Nothing should be named after Dubai. It's not a flavor combo unique to the city. It's just something that one lady came up with. I will die on this hill

I've decided that I want one of those gua sha things even though I don't think they do anything. They just look so fun

I've been wearing different outfits at work lately and one of my coworkers told me I looked like an American Girl doll... Quite possibly the greatest compliment I've ever received

I am a huge fan and advocate of handwashing but can I just say we really need to invent a way of doing it that doesn't remove the lotion from your hands

I'm just now looking at one of my grocery receipts and realizing the only thing that was taxed is cat food... It's like the government doesn't want Kenny to eat..... 😾

My wife is a plant person. I am not. I am vegan. She is not. This is no coincidence. I have no empathy for plants. She tries to keep them alive. I've done things to lucky bamboo that ought to land me in plant prison
