I think you do a great job of making a point without being overly condescending. I think you could pull it off.

It would be nice to see someone dig in on this point.

Lebanon has ~300k Palestinians refugees, the descendants of Palestinians that fled the Nabka in 1948. These people are locked in gated ghettos. They are not given work permits or citizenship. Half of these people are children born in the camps to parents born in those camps. And now this.

She’d Never Changed Her Gender Marker. Kansas Invalidated Her License Anyway. — Assigned A trans Kansas resident recently changed her name but not her gender marker on her license, fearing what Kansas may do if she did. The Kansas DMV still flagged her ID.

This story, from @natezuke.bsky.social, is absolutely wild. A trans woman who never changed her gender marker was issued a letter invalidating her license. At the DMV they cut up her license, which had an "M" marker.

one of the problems with the "prediction markets have social utility" thesis is that acquiring true information to beat the markets works better the *shorter* the timeframe before the rest of the market gets that information because you can cash in more quickly x.com/itslirrato/s...

Yall make jokes but who's laughing when you need at 10% buff from curse of the elements.

I think about her a lot because of this

A dog named pepper, wearing a sweater, sitting on a comfy chair wondering why the holiday party is across the room.

Pepper is the most spoiled dog, and she always gets mad when the party is 10 feet away from her.

Bramble the terrier on a black shaggy rug in a hallway, lying on her front with her little paws to one side, looking like something unbearably tragic happened to her when all that happened is I didn't give her cheese

How is every dog the most tragic dog you've ever seen

I don't know why I have this photo on my phone but I'm glad I do

The source is lost to time, but this is one of the funniest photos ever taken

What you idiot commies don’t understand is that if we tax rich people they will JUST LEAVE, depriving our nation of tax cheats, political bribery, and national acts of perversion

Judge forced to slash SF jury pool over hate for Elon Musk One candidate said he thinks sending Elon Musk to prison would benefit humanity.

“In a criminal trial, I would feel morally obligated to convict, however, in a civil trial I could set those views aside,” adding, “I believe it would be to the benefit of the human race for Mr. Musk to be sent to prison.”

They may not have mentioned it, but they probably knew! It's hard to miss the difference.

It's like the perseids for shower snot

I see someone else enjoys this time of year aka shower-snot season.

We’ve heard now from several reliable sources that federal agencies may remove a substantial chunk of the 15th St NW protected bike lanes near the National Mall in February, possibly as early as next week.

I’m Tired Of These Useless Jackasses Making The Computer Expensive RAM, flash memory, and HDDs are unaffordable because of a bunch of greedy idiots that do not love the computer.

The tech oligarchs pushing AI do not care if you can afford a computer, because they do not truly love the computer. aftermath.site/ram-prices-hdd...

I figured out a way to disable copilot and it increased my system performance more than I expected.

Currently saving up for a lightweight box to install and learn Linux on before I make a permanent switch.

Sorry to get radical but I don’t think it’s my job or yours to embrace, accept, understand - and certainly not to use - the thing being sold to us as AI. I don’t like any part of it, so I won’t. I’m missing out? Good, that’s what I want. You’re worried about me missing out? That’s fuckin weird, man.

there's a new scam going around where they offer you a place to live in exchange for a monthly fee but no matter how many times you pay in excess of the property's value they still keep charging you to live there

Hillary Clinton saying she met Ghislaine Maxwell only once or twice means I guess:

1) she’s lying
2) she invited someone she barely knew to her daughter’s wedding in an aisle seat out of the kindness of her heart
3) seats at Chelsea’s wedding were purchasable

I feel it's important to represent agency and consent, even if it's through the lens of an NPC.

A screenshot of a Wall Street Journal tweet promoting a story about Evie magazine, a bad publication for bad people. The text reads "Named for a modern take on the Bible’s original woman, Evie aims to reach a new kind of conservative: the churchgoing, city-dwelling, working young mother" as if literally anyone in the WSJ readership is unaware who fucking EVE is

Genuinely curious why some things were blurred and other things not? Like, if I were the agency that took these pictures I would just hang sheets over things.

Actually no I would just not represent the seller.

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.

And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.
