A bunny sits on the branch of a tree at night, sipping tea and looking at the full moon. On the moon, another small bunny is visible, also drinking tea while looking back at the bunny on the tree branch

Daily bunny no.3100 is just a branch away

this is a disgusting and beautiful thread that makes me feel less alone in the world

Panel 1: A tiny fairy godmother from Cinderella is hovering in the air pointing her wand at a carriage in the background, with a teal primary color and gold trim. The general shape and decoration of the carriage seem to have a "rat" motif. The fair godmother says "Okay Cinderella, just to be TOTALLY CLEAR ... At the stroke of midnight, this magical carriage WILL turn back into a giant rat." Panel 2: Cinderella, in her classic blue dress and blue headband, clasps her hands together in worry looking up at the fairy godmother, saying "OH NO!! Heaven forbid the PRINCE lays his eye on such vileness!" Panel 3: The prince looks on as she's riding away on a giant rat into the moonlight, having dropped one of her dirty-ass sneakers in his courtyard. The prince is Shen also. Panel 4: The prince says "that was really hot how she rode away on a giant rat."

imagine appearing before the canadian supreme court to make the case whether you've been naughty or nice

A white and light brown lop-eared bunny wearing a small straw hat nibbles on hay.

Now the really funny thing is, I actually have an ATProto app in development, and I *would* have spent some time working toward that today, but instead that time got allocated to trying to figure out what if anything the moderation policy of this site is

absolutely hilarious that they removed this post, got called out on it, then put it back

She wasn't really "deported," was she?

She was in international waters when Israel illegally boarded her ship, detained her, and then bought her into Israel before shipping her to Greece.

That sounds like a lot of things but "deported" is not one of them.

when things are going well in your liberal democracy

My statement is simply this: they're using deadly force on unarmed, peaceful civilians. At some point they're going to kill someone on camera, and I do not know that we can control what will happen after that.

The federal government under Stephen Miller is explicitly trying to start a civil war.

That is my statement.

I do not think we should start shooting. I think it is incredibly important that we not.

I do think that we should expect that they will shoot.

I think we are well past the point where future historians look at us and say that civil war could not be averted.

Just saw an ad for the ocean

The thing about 7 billionaire freaks passing the same increasingly large wad of IOUs back and forth, is that only a pundit could possibly think this translates to increasing prosperity for everyone else.

I've been trying to put my finger on why ICE/DHS lies feel so much more outrageous than normal cop lies, and I think it's because they don't lie like cops, they lie like aggressively stupid criminals

edited screenshots from Burn After Reading. George Clooney (with cow horns and ears) proudly stands behind a contraption and says "what is it?" then, with two fingers he sets the chair rocking back and forth which causes a lump-with-handle cow tool to thrust up through a slot in the seat of the chair with an accompanying vinyl squeak sound. Frances McDormand, (also with cow ears and horns) looks on with awe and says, "that's fantastic!"

a hundred bucks, all-in

Whenever anarchism — or any idea more radical than the status quo — gets dismissed as unserious, it's worth remembering the current system runs on things like "we put all the money on a scam machine that tells rich dipshits they're god."

Photo plate of Hubble's famous "VAR!" discovery. This is a photonegative plate of an image of the Andromeda Galaxy, with several small annotations made in grease pencil. One of them was previously marked "N" for "nova," but the N has been crossed out and replaced with an excited "VAR!" to indicate a Cepheid Variable.

VAR!

In the early morning hours #OTD in 1923, Edwin Hubble took a photo plate of M31 that showed a Cepheid variable star.

Using Henrietta Swan Leavitt’s distance-luminosity relationship, Hubble concluded that M31 is another galaxy outside the Milky Way. 🧪 🔭 ⚛️

If I learned one thing working at quickly ascending start-ups it’s that everyone in a leadership position thinks the users love and are rooting for the company as though they also work there

So when users express dissatisfaction the leadership reacts as though this is DEEPLY ungrateful betrayal

You don't seem to have a problem banning Palestinians though.

Maybe if banning Palestinians wasn't such a priority you'd have more time.

I feel like they show these Republican women the secret plans and their faces just become like this

every hype cycle has its “calling things ‘operating systems’ that are not actually operating systems” moment; at least when Kubernetes was an operating system it was “software that abstracts over hardware resources and provides services to applications”

CHATGPT IS NOT AND WILL NEVER BE AN “OPERATING SYSTEM”, CALL IT THAT ONE MORE TIME AND I WILL STAB YOU

Lyndon Johnson successfully Streisand Effected himself 40 years before Streisand, and for evil at that.

I know that Democrats couldn't get Congressional testimony now on account of the fascism, but a huge public display of testimonials by people who'd been in ICE custody is a good idea.

If I have not seen further, it is because giants have been standing on my shoulders.
