I swear, the bar is in hell.

We’re all in a Black Mirror episode.

I went to a machine learning conference in Belgium in 2019 and left convinced tech didn't have the first idea what it was enabling. 6 years later that is still true.

I wish this for at least one Yuri On Ice fic.

A lot of people currently calling for civility saw Kirk's violence as harmless because they weren't the primary target. The fact that being lower on the list is seen as safety is wild to me.

You guys are really showing off today

You really don’t HAVE to roll up in my mentions and try to mansplain how Ezra Klein is just hoping that the white supremacists will stick to words

ICE IS ON OUR STREETS KIDNAPPING PEOPLE

CONSERVATIVE WORDS PRODUCED THIS VIOLENCE

Person in a party hat giving a presentation and it says The greatest research skill you can have is being a nosy bitch who wants to find out

... are you completely out of your mind?

HE'S INVADING A US CITY AND YOU'RE YELLING AT A SCREENSHOT ABOUT DISRESPECTING THE MILITARY.

Correction: me turning into a full on fujoshi started during the Scorpio/Taurus axis, which was also my Taurus North Node return.

The only prayer that matters when it comes to the regular and repeated murder of American children while they are at school is the kind of prayer that is taking action, the kind of prayer that materially fights for the living, the kind of prayer that says "never again" and means it, from MN to Gaza.

I don’t know if it’s just the Mercury Cazimi, but this is continuing to be the most bizarre astrological story ever. 🥴

Specifically my 7-9 degrees of Leo.

Due to personal petty reasons, I’m convinced that Mercury Cazimi the other day was cursed.

People who ask me these kinds of questions imagine that Jewish pain is more keenly felt than Black pain, that Jewish fear is more important than Black fear

It’s racist

Our hearts are heavy for the grieving family of Jaime Alanis, who died from injuries sustained during a chaotic raid on Thursday.

We will do everything we can to support them. We continue to work with the hundreds of farm worker families navigating the aftermath of this violent raid.

really weird watching the united states be dismantled, but like, by white supremacists

Took a break from my important day job to draw a bad comic for #drawabadcomicday 🖊️🦑

The idea that pro-trans movements led to anti-trans sentiment is egregiously out of touch with reality. Increased LGBTQ representation led to historic shifts in public opinion toward the community. The aggressively bigoted and violent campaigns that lied about trans people are clearly responsible

who is writing this season and why is already 56 episodes long

Every time you buy a Harry Potter product, you are financing the dismantling of trans rights

A picture of Captain Gantu from LILO and Stitch with the caption LILO and Stitch Director says Captain gantu is not in the film because it didn’t work well.

Y’know, I’m not against remakes. Some classic and beloved movies are remakes. However, I think if you’re struggling to make something that worked in the original also work for your version, then maybe you’re not the guy for this.

The sidewalk shack newsstand at 31st & Halsted recently disappeared - I don't know if the proprietor retired or passed away. There are so very few of these old sidewalk newsstands left in Chicago now.

Some leftists were mean to me on the internet and that's basically at the root of why everything sucks is a very specific brand of douchebag bullshit. The level of self-absorption this entails is intellectually disqualifying.

i fear that the collegiality of the senate means a bunch of these clowns are actually friends with literal fascists and will throw us under the bus to protect their dinner parties or whatever

Pick up any honest history book and read it. Because this is who America has always been.

Fred Hampton was a black communist, civil rights activist, community organizer, & eventually the chairman of the Chicago Black Panther Party. He was murdered by the US federal government & Chicago Police Department when he was only 21 years old.

here is a thread with some of his quotes:

This is why when we talk about the loss of third spaces for teens I say the problem starts at the cradle. Because imagine creating a socialization group at the park or the library or school and helping kids build relationship skills with actual people, instead of doing this with $800.

EVERY TIME YOU SAY IT IS ANTISEMITIC TO BE AGAINST KILLING PALESTINIANS, YOU'RE SAYING IT IS JEWISH TO MURDER

*THAT* IS THE ANTISEMITISM

Yuri on Ice will forever own a deep part of my soul.
