Sometimes i get sad at those “I wanted to look up what kind of horse pulled medieval wagons It’s three hours later and playtex bra sewers made spacesuits i have a problem” no. No, you don’t. Hydrate and get back in there

Unless you’ve been on SNAP or had to be a cashier in a grocery store while someone discovers the insane restrictions placed on SNAP food choices, I simply think you should shut the hell up about food access.

Halloween FOREVER

The Illusion of “Play-Based ABA”: The Gentle Mask of Control One of the newest rebrands of Applied Behavior Analysis is “play-based ABA.” At first glance, it looks comforting to parents and teachers who may have heard critiques of traditional ABA. Instead of a ...

"'Play-based ABA' is often more insidious than old-school discrete trial training bc it’s harder to recognize as control. A table full of flashcards makes power visible. But when the same conditioning is wrapped in toys and smiles, the coercion hides behind warmth."

We're kicking off #MST3K #TurkeyMonth with some extra Halloween cheer, "The Mask"...in eye-popping Kingavision 3-D!

I LOVE that this woman in Georgia decided to terrorize her neighbors with the Fall Of Democracy and Trump's Ghouls (in poetic detail) instead of your usual demons and monsters.

She said, "It's scary because it's true."

Leucovorin for autism is BS, y'all: "At this time, the American Academy of Pediatrics @ameracadpeds.bsky.social (AAP) does not recommend the routine use of leucovorin (folinic acid) for autistic children."

happy halloween!

During tonight’s Trick-or-Treating, our 3-year-old got more and more excited.

“More houses! More candy!”

Until he suddenly looked to the sky and shouted (verbatim):

“Can I eat the moon!?”

Don’t let anyone tell you you can’t, little one. Be the cosmic horror you want to see in the world.

Whenever I meet a "feminist" who wants to abolish sex work, I instantly know I'm talking with an unserious person who is not willing to do the work.

Let's imagine, for the sake of the argument, that they were right and all sex workers were trafficking victims who wanted to leave sex work. 🧵

Image is classic universal wolfman and Frankenstein. Wolfman: knock knock Frankenstein: who's there? Wolfman: ahhh! Frankenstein: ahh who? Wolfman: WEREWOLVES OF LONDON

Saw Frankenstein this morning. Excellent.
Next movie up is Army of Darkness.

Spooky day has arrived! Perfect soundtrack for today.

Apple Review #32: Ruby Slipper This is the apple in your hand. Some would say it is so red that it looks black, but that’s not quiteright. It’s the color of wine and offal, of liver soaked in Pinot Noir.Bruise-dark and blood-bri…

Sure, let's have a little fun. New apple review: THE RUBY SLIPPER. Ahem.

New York Times headline reads: Trump Hotel Workers Campaign for a Union, Over the Boss's Objections

New York Times headline reads: Trump Moves to Strip More Federal Workers of Union Protections.

But his assertion that diversity weakens unions ignores two things. First, labor unions have a long history of multiethnic coalitions. Second, it was the capitalists and political elites who tried to *exploit* ethnic divisions to maintain power. There is only one person here trying to stop unions:

Bit of a different post but,a data center is trying to be built in Duluth area of MN. This could destroy fragile trout water’s ,ecosystems & so much more.

If you’re in the area PLEASE reach out to the city council saying you DO NOT want this built.

Using it to make political Satire/insult (regardless of target) is using gen ai

Being a "small/indie" studio & using it is still using gen ai

Using it for "Ideas" is still using gen ai

Tracing over it is still using gen ai

USING THE DAMN THING REGARDLESS OF REASON IS USING GENERATIVE FUCKING AI!

It’s why I personally don’t push for making food averse people (of any age) try something just because they are unfamiliar with it. In my experience, that first assessment that tells me that I wouldn’t want to eat something because it would cause an aversion/repulsive response is usually right.

Zohran caught in LIES: Mamdani claims to have "loved Final Fantasy III" when he was growing up. yet research indicates that the game he played was in fact the SIXTH Final Fantasy game

FACT CHECK: Poisoned Halloween Candy Police have never documented actual cases of people randomly distributing poisoned goodies to children on Halloween.

There has never, not once, been a verified incident where strangers handed out poisoned Halloween candy at random in an attempt to harm children.

It's an urban legend, used to scare parents and kids.

Should you check your kids' candy? Sure.

But be realistic about it.

If there weren’t already many reasons why I loathe AI, I just came across a YouTube ad where self-help monster Tony Robbins is promoting it.

AI: “All of the Worst People are Selling Us”

"I DON'T NEED YOU TO FUCKING REWRITE WHAT I'VE JUST WRITTEN!"

You know they're worried when the only thing they've got on Mamdani is non-biological specificity in familial nicknames.

Thank you very much and fuck AI

Guillermo del Toro speaks for so many of us.

(Can this please become a meme?

Thank you very much. And fuck AI.)
