@neolithicsheep.bsky.social would probably find this awesome. Alt text to come; my ADHD is killing me today.

The dominant business plan these days seems to be let’s turn everyone into slaves, who famously never revolt

The way these guys strain against mortality is only going to get weirder tbh. I would caution anyone against conspiratorial thinking that "they know something we don't" because, first and foremost, these techlord guys are morons

Vance reacts to the Young Republicans chat leak

TIL the extended cut of Star Trek V has a longer version of Kirk's famous speech in which he says:

"I've always known

In the early days of FB it was common courtesy to friend anyone you spent more than five minutes talking with. So now I love to get a Thumbs Up React on a picture of my child from someone I made out with at a party in 2005 and never saw or spoke to again.

I see y'all arguing with Amanda Marcotte & let me crank up the wayback machine...she hung out with a bevy of white feminists who didn't think they were racist, they just thought BIPOC women should wait until all the other issues were solved. She's one of the reasons #solidarityisforwhitewomen exists

DHS put up an illegal fence. Everyone from protestors, to lawyers, to the fire dept, to the mayor refused to comply & demanded its come down.

Award-winning pain researcher here. This is not something that can be done. Hope this helps.

History kinda glosses over that Hitler was a pedophile obsessed with his own niece Geli Raubal who he pretty much kept as a prisoner in his home until she took her own life, or for that matter how young Eva Braun was when they first met.

Nazis were always just like that it seems.

A pregnant woman. They denied a chair to someone who was PREGNANT.

"As is often the case in the AI industry, Nvidia came to the rescue, announcing a $100 billion investment in OpenAI. Now OpenAI has the money to send to Oracle to build data centers, which Oracle will fill with Nvidia GPUs. So wait—is Nvidia just paying itself?" prospect.org/power/2025-1...

Woah! So Labour's position really is, 'telling us off for breaching human rights undermines the case for human rights'? Proper Trumpian stuff from Labour's answer to Suella Braverman.
