Yeah well we have this little thing called freedom of the press. Yeah it’s pretty neat. 3 guys control the media and social media and they have more wealth than half the planet. If you ask about gun control they put you in a dog cage

I have been seeing this band in concert since 2007 and still! Every time!!!

Me at my umpteenth Nine Inch Nails concert: I will definitely not cry this time when Trent sings "Hurt" at the end of the show

Trent Reznor: *sings Hurt*

Me: 😭😭😭

About 80% of my grammar suggestions from Microsoft Word are “why not use a simpler word here for clarity?”

No. Fuck you.

I will use a complicated word for evocative precision whenever the muse’s clarion song demands ebullience, vivacity, torpor, or solemnity, you shit-ass suck machine.

Help me save my family and escape from Gaza to Eygpt My name is Alaa, and I am a mother of three precious children: Musa, who is 12 years old, and my twin daughters, Ella and Ellen, who are 8 years old. Before October 7th, our lives were filled with hop...

Today, I made a donation to support Alaa and her children in Gaza. Alaa is a mother I've been in contact with for some time, and her family is facing immense hardship. Her children are in poor health and urgently need support. If you're able to contribute, it could make a real difference for them.

the new NIN song slaps btw

Just watched Return of the Jedi in a theater. Really great pleasure to hear people chuckle at various droid and puppet antics, 10/10

There's a lot of talk about medicaid in the big awful bill but hardly anyone talking about how it will turn ICE into the largest law enforcement agency in the country and world's largest jailer. This is the equivalent of the enabling acts and will be the start of an ethnic cleansing campaign.

Wishing a lot of death and life today

Today in my feed I’ve seen conservatives argue that poor people must be kept poor to incentivize them to contribute to society, and that rich people must be given more money to achieve the same goal. Funny, that.

States Are Hoarding $5.2 Billion in Welfare Funds Even as the Need for Aid Grows Bonnie Bridgforth supported five children with an $8.50-an-hour job when she was told she no longer qualified for welfare in Maine. But the state — like so many others — was sitting on a huge stockpil...

Opponents of social safety net programs claim that gobs of cash are being paid to people who refuse to work.

But as @propublica.org showed in 2021, several states have refused to spend BILLIONS in federal funds meant for families in need - or made it effectively impossible for them to qualify.

Zohran Mamdani recalling how his father was brutalized and arrested by Montgomery police at a SNCC protest against segregationists in 1965.

In a deathblow to the ability to stop blatantly lawless and unconstitutional actions by the government, the Supreme Court just gutted the ability to get universal injunctions.

You can arrange the UI to make this look like Photoshop. If you draw and you're still in Photoshop, this is a good way to get out of it.

A lot of things probably but right now I'm thinking "Cornflake Girl" by Tori Amos

OK, so here’s my JJ Abrams story…

Before I started working in digital restoration one of my primary jobs in post-production support was running the in-house theater and screening rooms at work. Every now and again it would get booked for casting sessions, because it was perfectly suited for that…

happy pride month, i would show you a pic of a rainbow of flower blooms but some asshole rabbit chomped them all down in one night so now i dont know what to do. will the bee balm come back? should i eat the rabbit? are all of lifes pursuits in vain?

happy pride from your friend elon musk and everyone else at spacex

And to do so, we have to be where people are. Instead of lamenting where they are, we have to go where they are and recruit them to the things we want them to do with us.

Katherine's point that it's leftist organizers' responsibility to recruit people to our side is spot on. Some people are furious when someone says that but it's just true.

This lawsuit is brutal. One of the exhibits is the letter Universal sent to Midjourney, including a quote from a 2022 Forbes interview that I bet midjourney regrets

setting aside the staggering ethical issues, the other problem with genAI garbage is that it is incomprehensibly fucking ugly

Just got jumpscared by a youtube thumbnail featuring what was very clearly an AI-generated Stephen King, it was so uncanny valley it crossed over into body horror

beef estrogenoff. is this anything. happy pride

A few years ago someone told to me that men aren’t taught to be men, they’re just taught to be terrified of being thought womanly, and that this demonization of “things women are or do” is just blunt misogyny, which is also behind homophobia and transphobia, and they were 100% right.

photo of a big and tall saguaro cactus. it is not moving, it has been standing still for like a hundred years. it is also not speaking. it is a cactus.

now this is the kinda shit im talkin about. saguaro cactus. hell yeah. these bad boys can sequester the carbon equivalent of 40 gallons of gas, not releasing carbon back into the atmosphere during decomposition but interacting with the soil to create the mineral calcium carbonate(just a fuckin rock)

true, and also why I mostly watch DDT now lol
