Insta post: mullet_minion420 "THE ENLIGHTENED CENTRIST" Follow I'm not left or right I'm a secret third thing (right) You see it's all about striking a balance Between criticizing the left and defending the right I respect all political viewpoints It's just a coincidence I only happen to show support for the right wing ones I'm above all that partisan fighting Basically I found a way to feel superior to both sides without taking any principled positions Both sides are equally bad I think antifascism is the same as fascism and should be treated exactly the same, which says a lot about what I really believe if you think about it I STAND FOR ABSOLUTELY NOTHING LMAO

💀💀

You probably should, yes.

*To quote a guy on Mastodon:

We went from "we will deport the worst of the worst" to "we will deport anyone here illegally" to "we will round up anyone who looks wrong" to "people who live in cities are the enemy" essentially overnight.

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

Yeah -- as much as I want to think he's so far gone that he forgot about the last 15ish years, I think it's just that he can't string a coherent sentence together.

I'm not sorry. There is 0 reason to want AGI. We fucking humanize our cars and automatic vacuum cleaners, we'll be fully convinced that they are WAY before they become that sort of thing.

Stephen Miller was in my college cohort and I regret not bullying him to my full potential.

This dude threw a 2 year tantrum over being asked to sign a thank you card for the dorm housekeeping staff.

There is no need to compare ICE to a foreign group when the Klan—a home grown group of masked men who terrorized communities of color—is right there for comparison.

I remember that night as well, had just moved to Chicago days prior was at a friend's place watching the results and getting some depression McDonalds to sooth the sting -- and I had to be the one to break the news to the Black man working the window. We both were sad together for a moment.

if there’s one thing that defined the last decade it’s “i don’t believe in the sunk cost fallacy; always double down” & if there’s a second it’s “let’s hear these whining men out; i know they’re a offputting but let’s give them the benefit of the doubt!”

i’m not sure what order they’re in.

This also indicates that Taz has self regulation problems and as his animated history shows, can be set off by even minor inconveniences, which is highly reminiscent and characteristic of autistic meltdowns which itself indicates a possible placement on the autism spectrum.

In this essay...

Pure art.

And like so much Shakespeare this is a very horny passage if you look closely!

ICE agents raid South Shore apartments; Trump says Chicago could become military training ground ICE agents raided a South Shore apartment building overnight as the city braces for a possible military deployment.

“They had a big, 15-inch chainsaw with round blade on it, cutting this fence down. We're under siege. We're being invaded by our own military."

The worst of what we feared when Trump’s spending bill gave ICE a blank check is happening.

Awesome. The main Steam trailer should be recut to give more of those impressions, then. Because that trailer said to me "This is a cute factory sim".

Like I said; Planning to check it out tomorrow.

But have you considered a pile of non-binary people?

That really rather depends on the mechanism, no? If it's done by them making a pinky promise that they are not considering those factors I don't have a lot of faith that it will go any way other than how they want it.

I'm gonna try out the demo tomorrow after sleeping, but what differentiates it from Factorio other than it being cute?

The "on October 3rd, he asked me what day it was It's October 3rd" moment from Mean Girls

It is a high holy day

I’ve been thinking about it, and while I don’t feel guilty about it or anything, I retract any previous jokes I’ve made about fascists not being human. I still made those jokes, but I think delineating fascists out of my species is avoiding responsibility and moral consequence

This is an excellent take comrade. <3

They're humans. Misguided or monsters -- but still people. Those who wish to see us dead have families and full rich lives. Being at peace with that is important to keep in mind so that we don't do anything more than self and community defense.

If you know it's not most, then why are you even commenting? My statement is accurate.

Most telecom doesn't go to satellites. It's just boring old ground wires. Sometimes they're ocean wires.

There's great coverage of the exclusionary history of building codes in Stuck!, the book I cannot shut up about

...that's a real fucking title.
Fuckin' @reductress.bsky.social couldn't come up with better fiction.

I can't decide if other people acting like the world is ending is bringing me down, or if other people acting like the world isn't ending is bringing me down.

I think President Trump is brave to shut down the government instead of releasing the Epstein files

I have been dreaming of a Klingon politi-drama/thriller for a long time. I think the additional layer of them having these honorable and moral absolutist personae to upkeep is super interesting.

I would also like a Governor Worf show that's about him retired on a small colony doing small politics.

As long as you feed them good data these models can do some very valuable things.

But the onions, Mike! THE ONIONS!
