Sitting down at my computer to write my book. I turn it on, login on, open Word and whisper "Hurt me, daddy."

there is no "fuck off" with enough fs

Reposted from @hamidrezaaz.bsky.social on X because it's the only analysis of Iranian strategy I've seen that seems to think they may actually have a plan.

The headline reads "Meta workers say they're seeing disturbing things through users' smart glasses."

In a moment of uncharacteristic incredulity I assumed it was badly written. Why would Meta *workers* being seeing things through Meta *users'* glasses?

SILLY ME.

Instead of putting useless AI spyware in phones, start inventing a function where it goes, 'Hey, it looks like you're in public but you don't have earphones connected! The volume will not work!'.

It should really be fucking illegal for people to play their shitty music or watch annoying videos loudly in public.

"Israel has destroyed not only the rules-based order but also obliterated the most basic rules of war – you don’t attack children."

@fbhutto.bsky.social reports on US‑Israeli attacks in Iran, where children are paying the deadly price of western imperialism.

Poll suggests only a quarter of Americans support attacks on Iran US lawmakers heap pressure on Trump following the first US soldier deaths after Khamenei's killing.

(I had such a horrible experience at my last school in Australia that it resulted in a mental breakdown. My doctor examined me and went, "I'm giving you antidepressants, a therapist referral, and a medical certificate for the rest of the school year. Do not go back.")

Blouse on a hanger, draped over a swivel chair. It's fairly simple in cut, with a curved hem. The fabric is a warm cream colour, printed with thin black branches/leaves and berries and red flowers. The sleeves have ruffled hems.

Sewed a new blouse to distract myself from the school year starting on Monday.

I've just finished the blouse and it looks great!

Now I gotta go stress-bake or clean something.

What does Hollywood have against chemises?!

My art, digital. Done in 2024. A deer with trees in its eyes nuzzles a larger deer spectre/skull. The text reads ‘it never gets easier saying goodbye’

There’s something special about offering your heart and devotion to an animal in our care when we know full well that there will eventually be heartbreak when they go. The pain of their absence at the end of their life is only evident because of how special they are. It was worth it just to know you

fwiw this is the kind of stuff that is going to get us through, not playing rambo

I would rather be at a small bar where Nazis aren’t welcome than a big and noisy bar with lots of Nazis, even if there are some good people still at the Nazi bar. It’s a Nazi bar.

And Threads is just bad.

I can’t go to the grocery store alone right now because ICE is racially profiling and abducting people who aren’t white

Meanwhile as their constituents self-organize into anti-MAGA army, congressional Democrats are desperately workshopping how to incorporate both “lawless Gestapo thugs” and “affordability” into a talking point

if white deep southerners had the same R-D split as whites in the great liberal bastion of South Dakota the deep south would basically be purple

this is not happening because white deep southerners are racist as fuck and nothing short of reconstruction part 3 is going to change that

Amazon's Ring to partner with Flock, a network of AI cameras used by ICE, feds, and police | TechCrunch Agencies that use Flock can request that Ring doorbell users share footage to help with "evidence collection and investigative work."

It was inevitable.

Literally everyone who even vaguely knew what a tariff was said this when they were introduced! You don’t need a team of economists to analyze the situation — no one who lives in reality was confused by this!

My sister in law sent me this text today: “ I FINISHED LOTR AND NOW WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH MY LIFE!? What is the next book even worth reading in comparison!?”

My sister in law sent me this text today and I relate so much.

Yeah, on the topic of folks who helped the US, at great cost, and to whom we own a debt of gratitude. Between the Danes, Hmong, and Afghans, why would anyone trust us at our word after this.

I will 100% guarantee that the decision not to investigate is coming from Stephen Miller. Rationally, doing even a superficial investigation and “clearing” Ross would help them. But for Miller, that would be acknowledging the existence of constraints on his power

MLK was only 39 when he was killed. Growing up, I thought that was old. But I’m 43 now and I’m stunned by the burden he shouldered at such a young age. I’m also a lot more aware of how hard it is, at any age, to carry the hopes and dreams of an oppressed people on your shoulders, as so many do.

😂 Thank you for that!

The last several TOS episodes have lulled me into a false sense of security, with none of the redshirts dying.

Fifteen minutes into S2E5 The Apple, and three redshirts are already dead.

in the dim waning hours of December the weary viewer calls upon 'The Lord of the Rings Trilogy [Extended Edition]' for strength, sturdy material to build the foundation of a cinematic New Year 📽️

because im such an insufferable nerd i keep thinking about that bit in the silmarillion where Morgoth gets mad he can never find the imperishable flame to create his own world and so he has to just corrupt the world that is instead and how thats what ai feels like to me

We will never have a series of films as good as lord of the rings unless we develop strong unions and a culture that respects art instead of seeing it as content
