Hey brain, stop being mean to my friend! It's rood!

I keep hearing that the Epstein files are so big if we held everyone accountable everything would collapse. And no it wouldn’t. These rich guys don’t do any actual work. They aren’t actually important or useful they are just rich.

I feel this struggle. I have an uphill slog to get caught up on classwork, and a similar cycle keeps hitting me.

I mean, Al Capone wasn't brought down for a whole myriad of accurate illegal activities, but for tax evasion. Them starting in from a different angle isn't as critical as what comes out of the efforts- here is hoping they pry open more details regarding the files.

I love their certainty that an AI chatbot is what neurodivergent people need to overcome social anxiety. Even setting aside how broad "neurodivergent" is for a moment, the idea that you can solve the problem by just avoiding it is kind of bonkers.

The more I look what this guy says, the more he looks like a scumbag activist cosplaying (poorly) as a journalist. And once again, the way he chooses to pursue the topics lead me to believe it is either malicious or clueless. Either way it's outright harmful.

We need universal right to FREE counsel.

Every case, every courthouse, every jurisdiction. If you're interacting with the legal system, you should have a free attorney at taxpayer expense.

And I will die on this hill forever.

Sadly that is me now, much of the time. Unfortunately, in my case it is long covid rather than anemia. Glad you were able to figure something out, though!

genAI is dying repost to make it die faster

Love that AI, a thing we hate and don’t want, steals everything, ruins everything, shittifies everything. Drinks our water, plagiarizes our art, pisses all over our information fidelity, drives kids to suicide, serves the right-wing, and fucks up our devices and services. Good job, techbros!

For ICE to build concentration camps quickly, they're leaning on this Dept. of War program WEXMAC TITUS helps contractors bypass the traditionally lengthy government contract bidding process

NEW — An obscure Navy contractor program is making Trump’s plans to quickly build out and supply immigrant concentration camps around the country a reality.

Here I explain WEXMAC TITUS, an acronym you need to understand:

Humble Book Bundle: Best of Humble Bundle: Terry Pratchett's Discworld by HarperCollins Encore 2026 Experience Sir Terry Practchett’s beloved Discworld series! Get 35+ books covering all corners of this comic fantasy universe and help support Room to Read!

have you ever read one of my Discworld QOTDs and thought, hey, I should really get around to reading those books?

good news! the full series is back on Humble Bundle - it’s Kobo but it’s pretty easily to transfer those to your preferred e-reader

you won’t regret it

I am hearing this in a southern drawl, because clearly we need a counterpart to the overdone Soviet Russia joke accent.

Hopefully those were good times!

My apologies if I implied a lack of knowledge or anything, it was meant just as agreement.

Soeaking as a Wisconsinite, I do not regret to inform you that we would win.

Not only are the stereotypes more accurate than most, but people here get really competitive about certain things. Packers fandom is similarly zealous.

Even yogurt has a better culture than Elon. At least that is useful.

Absolutely do NOT give your ID or face scan on Discord. It's even worse than expected. Apparently due to people bypassing current systems, they're switching to "persona" which is funded by fucking Peter Thiel.

My mom got her PhD in Psychology in part for this exact reason- her advisor straight up told her to quit, so she barreled through anyway just to spite him. She's retired now, but sticking it to a Notre Dame professor got her decades of a profession she loved.

It should be illuminating that prosecuting sex trafficking, the thing that prosecutors and police across the country have been using as a cash cow to fund surveillance and weaponry, is actually not something government prosecutors care about at all.
The system does not hold people accountable.

The president of OpenAI has donated almost as much to Trump as the DNC has cash on hand www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

if you played sonic the hedgehog and put down the controller, sonic would look at you and tap his foot impatiently. this was proof that sega genesis cartridges had souls. the decision was made to make the storage cases a lot larger than the cartridges so they would have room to move around in there

Notice how the popular media narrative has moved on, while people on the ground in Minneapolis are still struggling and crying out that things are as bad as ever. This is how fascist regimes operate — overreach, recalibration, normalization. Get louder, not quieter.

...did he leave his wife and nannies behind then?

Every possible consequence should be leveled at these people. Especially from organizations with professional clout.

I mean sure, you could go do plenty of things with someone whether a date or otherwise, but why miss an opportunity to make strangers give you the "Why are you like this?" stare, with cow tools no less? A clearly superior way to bond with someone.

That is perfection. I may or may not be cackling a little imagining the potential bafflement.

Ooh, I'll have to create some new cow tools!
