I woke up, it's 45 out and cloudy, and I'm so happy. I love this weather.

What's the best use of rocks as a climate solution?

Is it grinding them up and spreading them on fields, or is it throwing them at billionaires? Let's go to this meeting and decide.

There's something really cute about how humans will change their color palettes to match the seasons.

I just saw a bunch of people downtown and all of them were wearing oranges, browns, reds. Just clothes that are clearly fall-themed, and I just smiled to myself like "hehe that's so cute"

Absolutely disgusting, I just got a YouTube ad that was one of those corny "this is what they don't want you to know" but it was an AI generated video of an astronaut talking at a conference.

Destroying our forests for the guise of legitimacy to scam seniors online. This is AI's legacy.

uh oh im trying to do too many things again

it's always good to be aware of your basic international law!

A screenshot of the "Crimes against humanity" section of the Rome Statue of the International Criminal Court. It reads: For the purpose of this Statute, “crime against humanity” means any of the following acts when committed as part of a widespread or systematic attack directed against any civilian population, with knowledge of the attack: (a) Murder; (b) Extermination; (c) Enslavement; (d) Deportation or forcible transfer of population; (e) Imprisonment or other severe deprivation of physical liberty in violation of fundamental rules of international law; (f) Torture; (g) Rape, sexual slavery, enforced prostitution, forced pregnancy, enforced sterilization, or any other form of sexual violence of comparable gravity; (h) Persecution against any identifiable group or collectivity on political, racial, national, ethnic, cultural, religious, gender as defined in paragraph 3, or other grounds that are universally recognized as impermissible under international law, in connection with any act referred to in this paragraph or any crime within the jurisdiction of the Court; (i) Enforced disappearance of persons; (j) The crime of apartheid; (k) Other inhumane acts of a similar character intentionally causing great suffering, or serious injury to body or to mental or physical health.

Still comes with Gemini because it's Android, but you can turn it off.

There's also volla.online that's even more simplified, but arguably more clunky

not to be That Guy, but does anybody remember when the internet was full of actual websites that were fun to discover and not just Online Shopping™ and Platforms™ brought to you by megacorps?

You used to be able to do things on the internet other than get mad. It used to be fun.

well that's not true, they're still there, but they'll only come back spontaneously and usually while i'm trying to fall asleep

i have a lot of thoughts, contrary to popular belief. unfortunately, they are all very slippery and i can only hold one for up to a minute before it is gone

Parking lots are the worst. If you don't fill up your parking lot regularly, then either build something useful there or return it to the earth

Things that should not be "use it or lose it" rights: water rights, especially in the western US
Things that should be "use it or lose it" rights: land used for parking lots

i don't think that's what that is

to all journalists who write about a paper and then don't link the damn paper: i hope your mac and cheese is always too cold

Got that neurodivergent-style pattern recognition

"CDC is over": RFK Jr. lays off over 1,000 employees in Friday night massacre Amid the ongoing shutdown, the HHS secretary wiped out entire offices that investigate disease outbreaks, manage infectious disease responses and collect data.

“CDC is over. It was killed. This administration only knows how to break things. They have made America at risk for outbreaks and attacks by nefarious players. People should be scared,” said Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, former director of the CDC’s National Center on Immunization and Respiratory Diseases

ADHD couples shirts of this. The other one says "If it happened, I don't remember it."

I love Newsies, a.k.a. "unions, regulations, and anticapitalism for kids"

aaand we are officially in the hide-your-neighbors stage

If you need me at work THAT badly, you should probably be paying me more.

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

The same people who think we've solved racism also think we solved fascism. And so "whatever we see today couldn't possibly be fascism."

No no, and then trying to make* proof for it

Just a reminder that pathologizing "trump derangement syndrome" and labelling "antifa" vaguely as a terrorist organization is laying the groundwork to seem reasonable when they call for the mass incarceration (or worse) of people who dissent against the president

Disliking "AI" and or LLMs isn't ableist. That notion is horseshit and it's creepy to see people trying to weaponize my marginalization for their internet arguments.

Making slop pictures with them isn't creating art. It isn't.

Go learn a skill and make some actual art.

really vibing with dodie's new song called "darling, angel, baby" that's just about her cat

@WinterPolitics1 The Oregon national guard general says if the Oregon National guard were to be deployed they would be instructed under his leadership to protect the protesters not ICE. And a photo of the Oregon National Guard General

Is it just me, or is it WILD that your employer can refuse a time off request? Especially if it's like a month in advance.

Excuse me, but you don't own me? I don't HAVE to be there. I'm telling you that I won't be there so you can plan accordingly.

HEY SO THIS IS CONCERNING
