Can I offer people free advice, 'AI detectors' do not work. Not for text and generally not for images. None of them work.

sorry everyone we at pencil company know you liked pencils, but we can't think of any new ideas for them, so we're discontinuing pencils tomorrow. also, you won't be able to access all your pencil drawings, please burn them, cool

Politicians don't do shitty awful things to distract from other shitty awful things they did. They do shitty awful things because they're shitty awful people, and the sheer volume of that shitty awful stuff is absolutely overwhelming, to the point it's a sign we shouldn't let people be politicians.

Just so we’re all crystal clear on this: Orbit is, thermodynamically speaking, the stupidest possible place in the universe to put data centers. SpaceX does not intend to do this, it‘s just the usual snake oil.

(Tanks of actual snake oil would be a better place to put data centers than in orbit.)

“The internet loves Laughing Women Eating Salad stock photos. Now get ready for Laughing Soldiers Eating MREs!”

Nice, this will save them all the inconvenience of using their own phones to record themselves insulting the people they execute in the streets.

Surely, *surely* this is illusion mesh and some carefully color-matched infrastructure. Even if one is supremely confident in one’s ability to avoid stepping on one’s hem, there are other people walking around... 😬

cops: knock knock

the author of manufacturing consent being friends with a dude that convinces moot to make 4chan a breeding ground for 21st century fascism can’t only be understood with an analysis of economic class, all axes of oppression are always relevant

13 circuits, 13 justices. It‘s inexcusable that we haven’t expanded the Supreme Court in 150 years.

While we’re at it, expand the House to 593 members so that the average district size is equal to the population of the smallest state.

The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll

the democrats have everything they need to destroy the largest funder of the opposition right now today if they want to, if not legally then in the public square

We need to shut down the word "performative" until we can figure out what the hell is going on. Of course adopting symbols of protest and resistance is performative! Performance is a core strategy for mass movements!! That's why the call them demonstrations!!!

Describe your BlueSky account in a single image.

With no due respect, I’m not reading your substack screed about how Democrats are enabling fascism. You’re in a Nazi bar, bro.

One in four developers laid off over the past two years Data from the newly-published 2026 State of the Game Industry survey offers insights into the wave of job cuts that has engulfed the video game industry.

half of all tech news lately is some variation of "the computer company has discontinued their well known product, the computer"

And at the end of the game all we get is body cams and QR codes or some shit and ice will ignore those rules just like they've been ignoring the constitution and multiple court orders.

I do not understand the Dem cheerleaders on this app

This plus lead poisoning, yeah.

this may be controversial, but i think we should be much more skeptical of life advice offered up by people in their early twenties.

my only notes to people under 30: your 30s aren't for ditching fandom, they're for re-evaluating all the "cringe" stuff you liked as a teenager through the lens of someone who can appreciate it fully, going, "that owned, actually," and becoming even more unhinged about it. please look forward to it.

I am introducing the Cut It Out And This Time I Really Mean It bill. It provides an additional $57 billion to the murder goons but they will agree to wear business casual Monday through Thursday and if they do any murders they have to put a dollar in this jar.

I learned a long time ago that as a trans woman, i could never get overly attached to a public figure.

Her comms director said she should get on BlueSky, and, well…

"Just leave the US! My country lets people immigrate!"

4: Must be able-bodied
5: Visa costs upwards of $40,000 per person

“We must ensure that the poor-impulse-control mouth-breathers who flood our inland cities work for ICE and not CBP,“ say Senate Democrats.

“What’s most important here is that they didn’t step foot inside the school,” say Senate Democrats.
