I like how full text search of every book and human thought ever was a SOLVED PROBLEM in 2001, and now dicks at search engines and my own phone – a piece of silicon faster to respond than God was ever imagined in scripture – prevent it from working, _as a retroactive infantilizing design choice_.

Another part of that is it automatically "correcting" my searches. I want to search for this EXACT PHRASE that's why I fucking put it in quotes you goddamn slop machine

incredibly funny that Joyce Carol Oates owned Musk so hard he's started trying to post like a regular person with normal interests

It just occurred to me that certain people are gonna be absolutely rage-shitting themselves tonight over this win and that makes me laugh. Better make some popcorn.

I have friends there that participated in the (Mamdani) campaign and get out the vote groups. They worked really hard for this and I'm so happy for NYC right now.

Several wins for the side of hope and reason tonight. Please don't fuck it up. Sincerely, your neighbours up north.

Normal People Don’t Want This Shit is running away with the vote tonight

Plus, Dick Cheney is dead!

On that note, I just don't like having a real face picture as a matter of personal security. Unfortunately there's too many weirdos out there who will use it as a reason to say/do creepy shit.

Got wild accusations of being a dude masquerading as a woman (i'm actually nonbinary but i digress). Why? Because apparently someone couldn't tell my profile picture is a fucking statue, lmao. I'm gonna have to tell my Halloween table centerpiece they're a FAKE 😆

That's terrifying

“America is the wealthiest nation on Earth, but its people are mainly poor, and poor Americans are urged to hate themselves. To quote the American humorist Kin Hubbard, 'It ain’t no disgrace to be poor, but it might as well be.' It is in fact a crime for an American to be poor, even though America is a nation of poor. Every other nation has folk traditions of men who were poor but extremely wise and virtuous, and therefore more estimable than anyone with power and gold. No such tales are told by the American poor. They mock themselves and glorify their betters. The meanest eating or drinking establishment, owned by a man who is himself poor, is very likely to have a sign on its wall asking this cruel question: 'if you’re so smart, why ain’t you rich?' There will also be an American flag no larger than a child’s hand – glued to a lollipop stick and flying from the cash register. Americans, like human beings everywhere, believe many things that are obviously untrue. Their most destructive untruth is that it is very easy for any American to make money. They will not acknowledge how in fact hard money is to come by, and, therefore, those who have no money blame and blame and blame themselves. This inward blame has been a treasure for the rich and powerful, who have had to do less for their poor, publicly and privately, than any other ruling class since, say Napoleonic times. Many novelties have come from America. The most startling of these, a thing without precedent, is a mass of undignified poor. They do not love one another because they do not love themselves.”

reading slaughterhouse 5 for the first time and i was absolutely knocked senseless by this passage, which is so true and relevant that it feels like it was pulled from a history book

Techbros think uploading to the digital cloud is the key to immortality, yet meanwhile, I've never had a computer that lasted 10 years without becoming obsolete.

People really need to look into folks before praising them online. The new Nobel Peace Prize winner ain't exactly a saint. For the love of fuck, take 5 seconds to look at Wikipedia or something before blindly worshipping her.

Jane Goodall, Eminent Primatologist Who Chronicled the Lives of Chimps, Dies at 91

Of all the best and kindest humans to ever live, Jane Goodall is near the top of my list.

Rest in Peace, you beautiful soul.

On behalf of the earth, I thank you

The Trump administration isn't only targeting organizations or groups but even individuals and "entities" whom NSPM-7 says can be identified by any of the following "indica" (indicators) of violence: • anti-Americanism, • anti-capitalism, • anti-Christianity, • support for the overthrow of the United States Government, • extremism on migration, • extremism on race, • extremism on gender • hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family, • hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on religion, and • hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on morality.

Don’t tell people not to joke about serious shit. It’s a coping mechanism for some of us. It’s how we aren’t constantly screaming.

Because that went SO well for the Spartans, hmm?

It’s really funny that you can amass hundreds of billions of dollars, and still
Be desperately uncool and dull. I know that’s gotta hurt.
