Any sufficiently advanced hobby is indistinguishable from madness.

American conservatives calling the pope woke and Marxist is a great indicator for people who don’t realize just how unhinged American conservatives have gotten

me: I'm done with the pope posts

conservatives: we are having the worst day of our lives, woke marxist pope will give your kids gun control & health care in their sleep

me: I would like a few more pope posts

I am *begging* people to look up the actual history of the Luddite movement with it being bandied about everywhere.

They weren't anti-tech, they were anti-exploitation, anti-Industrialist, pro-worker safety textile worker radicals who disabled factory machines that were maiming and killing workers.

Expecting an explosion of science-based supervillains employing elaborate deathtraps themed after DOGE cancelled NSF grant proposals any day now.

Men are not constantly being told “you’re bad,” they are constantly being told “LEFT WING SJWS THINK YOU’RE BAD” by conservative propaganda. There’s a huge difference.

Before you start typing about how there are more important things: the Met Gala funds the costume collection of the Met. Textile preservation/restoration is important work that needs funding - you may not think of it as such but textiles are an important part of history that often goes unpreserved

Inside you there are two wolves. One is active, the other one is on hot standby and becomes active if the first one fails or is taken down for maintenance. Add more wolves as necessary for increased redundancy load balancing. A quorum badger can be added for environments with multiple active wolves.

As we’ve said before now confirmed. FOIA requests reveal that DOGE employees are pulling in six-figure salaries, with many holding the title of “Expert,” a specific Office of Personnel Management (OPM) designation that pays around $190,000 a year.

Robert De Niro supports daughter Airyn as she comes out as trans: ‘I don’t know what the big deal is’ After her announcement of her transition, the actor said: ‘I loved and supported Aaron as my son, and now I love and support Airyn as my daughter’

De Niro said: “I loved and supported Aaron as my son, and now I love and support Airyn as my daughter. I don’t know what the big deal is … I love all my children.”

He really is all right, Robert De Niro.

The thing people still don’t seem to get?

Trump backs down at ANY kind of pushback. Resist a little & he folds.

It’s funny because I grew up as a Black kid during the 90s and if “people think we’re bad” was as determinative as it’s being depicted me and everyone I know should be dead by now.

Say it after me: Chat GPT is not a search engine. It does not scan the web for information, it just generates statistically likely sentences. You cannot use it a search engine, or as a substitute for searching.

Now. Please never use an LLM for information searches ever again.

The US used to have free to low tuition until schools couldn't discriminate based on race

LRT with every of these “NFTs deleted; now worthless” stories coming out I need you to remember that we were told it’s the future, it’s inevitable, its the future of money and your house will be registered on it and your car will be registered on it and if you don’t get it NOW you’ll be left behind.

Easily the right’s greatest propaganda win was branding DEI as “forcing companies to hire unqualified black candidates” when in reality it forced companies to hire qualified black candidates instead of unqualified white ones.

A useful thing to do when you think someone is "being dramatic" or "overreacting" to a situation is to stop, take a breath, and ask yourself:

What would have to be true for their reaction to make sense?

Are you sure those things are NOT true?

"AI is coming, its inevitable" no its not you sniveling weirdo. how are those 3D TVs going. how are NFT markets looking these days. Seen anything cool in the metaverse lately?

anyone who says we need to resign to using it, that itll be here whether we like it or not, is a feckless dipshit.

People sometimes ask "what are the crimes" and let me tell y'all, as a lawyer, that intentionally copying, altering, destroying, or disrupting government computer systems is super-duper illegal if you don't have a spotless paper trail authorizing it, which none of these DOGE people do.

"Don't like it? Make your own movies!"

* They did
* Some of them turned out to be gigantic Marvel and Mattel family-friendly blockbusters
* The right-wing launched hate campaigns trying to stop anyone from enjoying these movies

This is why you never do what they tell you to do

Best sewing hack I ever heard? If you're taking sewing or embroidery on a plane, take dental floss. The TSA might take other forms of thread cutter, but they don't take dental floss, which comes with a built in cutter. Thank you to the embroiderer in an airport who doesn't know she taught me this.

Hey media:

If your headline says “Putin declares Easter ceasefire in Ukraine” without also including the fact that Russian forces haven’t stopped fighting for even a second, you’re just helping his propaganda machine.

Trump's team backing down in front of Harvard should embolden EVERYONE to stand up to them. Do not comply in advance. Instead say "Fuck you, make me."

What if Elon is the first autistic person RFK has ever actually met and that’s why he assumes we don’t pay taxes or go on dates

@mwl.io Is this what you feel when I leave "I hate you" comments?

Right so you know that saying "if you know an Autistic person, you know ONE Autistic person?"

Anyway the same admin that claimed Musk is Autistic is now claiming that Autistic people are burdens on their families who contribute nothing to society

Who wants to tell them that's just their buddy

You know that trans women are women because guys with CS degrees and Dunning-Kruger never leave them alone.
