Good thing to remember online right now is that everyone here is very emotionally dysregulated and dealing with that by posting

Crowd shot of protesters filling Times Square outside the U.S. military recruitment center.

Protester holds a hand-made sign that reads, "Bombing kids, genocide do not equal 'Self-Defense'"

Protester holds hand-lettered sign that reads, "U.S. out of Iran! U.S. out of Korea! U.S. out of everywhere!"

Gaza, south Lebanon, the West Bank, southwest Syria, this is the model that Israel wants across MENA: weak, permanently unstable, incapable of infrastructural reconstruction or administrative cohesion.

we were probably all up last night staring at the ceiling with our own version of the same thought running on endless loop, but mine looked something like this:

I hate these people to a degree that feels simultaneously corrosive to the soul, and also the only righteous response to this kind of evil

i’m so excited for peace in the Middle East. we’re only one war away.

Cops understand that the process *is* punishment. So beating the rap is nice, but it fucks you up, though theoretically you’re not being punished unless and until you’re convicted.

THIS IS WHAT SAM ALTMAN WANTS TO TAKE FROM YOU

Some of y'all negotiate who deserves rights every fucking day on here and every time you do you erode your own. You should stop that shit. But even the most stupid lib on here should have a baseline level of Wokeness that recognizes that we should not be doing Jim Crow laws against fucking anybody!!

When Disney bought Fox a decade ago people joked about how the Alien Queen was now a Disney princess. It was a lighthearted way of coping with the ever-increasing consolidation in media + utter absence of monopoly enforcement.

My ability to have a lighthearted reaction to this shit is long gone.

The Kansas driver license thing is just the sublimation of every time I've said that we should be abolishing the gender marker instead of allowing it to be changed or having an "X" gender marker.

Like how do you think they had a list of people to mail that notice to ahead of time?

the party that wants to require ID to vote abruptly invalidating a thousand people’s IDs overnight seems like a pretty giant flashing red light

I switched to TIDAL (not much better ethically maybe but at least no AI artists) and there is a tool you can use to switch Spotify playlists to there for about $5. And I believe they have a family plan! Their downloads take up way more space tho so do with that what you will.

Had to drive into work at 5 AM and it was some of the worst driving I've done! Between Ellettsville and Spencer (55 MPH zone) everyone was going 25-30 at most. Giant snowflakes, 1 inch accumulated in my half hour drive. It was crazy! But pretty 🙂

please help trans kansans and their families, if you’re able. everything helps.

They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.

re: hockey, Muhammad Ali, one of the greatest boxers ever to live, gave up three years in the prime of his life — years in which his fighting would have been at peak; actual money incalculable — rather than fight in an unjust war, so noping out on grandpa’s burger bash should be an easy choice

look at our opposition party, dog

“I never see you at the gym.” Oh? I never see you upon the loom.

There is simply no good reason to trust these opaque organisations that represent mainstream science. Have you considered trusting a relentlessly unpleasant and disingenuous guy with a substack instead?

I mean this is the most church counselor way of putting it, but intelligence by itself is nearly worthless. wisdom and prudence and discernment are necessary qualities for intelligence to be useful. innumerable religious scriptures have tried to explain this but yr tech bros aren't big on books

But in doing so, they also reveal how much of it is total inauthentic performance. Trump loves Phantom of the Opera far more than hockey, so to appeal to these athletes he reverts to misogyny as what they have in common. The athletes are spurred on to participate, even if they support their peers

An old comic style of a woman looking out her window at a city skyline. The bubble says, “What a stupid time to be alive.”

“Make bad game? Fired. Make good game? Fired. Make incredibly successful game? Believe it or not, also fired.” Original source of meme is from Parks and Recreation.

the video game industry is a mess

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide.

This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

you can't work with Republicans. you can't compromise with them either. you either win or they do.

Immigrants can teach us how to fight dictators:

"Myrla Baldonado became one of the “forced disappearances” under Philippine dictator Ferdinand Marcos Sr., in 1983. She was kidnapped by state agents, swept away to a secret location, tortured, and then imprisoned for two years."

And yet:
