This eldritch-ass tree. My gardener wife tells me it's a condition called fasciation caused by any number of various cellular trauma. I think it's elder gods breathing on the thing when it was a sapling.
A tree compressed and mutated in a truly disturbing way.

Frats once served a purpose (I think?). It seems like nowadays they're just drunk rape dens and if colleges are serious about education they should probably abolish them or change how they're allowed to operate. Like maybe 20 dudes basically in their teens in one house is a bad idea?

The Heritage Foundation laid out how they were going to rescind Title IX, the law that prohibits sex discrimination in education, by first targeting trans people's participation in sport. Capitulating on the human rights of transgender people is catastrophically falling at the first hurdle.

We keep being told that video is powerful marketing, especially vertical video less than 60 seconds as that's what catches people scrolling. For reference, this video was tagged as performing better than 90% of videos from people with a similar follower count as me. *sigh*
Analytics showing average watch time 8.9s, watched full 4.39%, on average viewers watched 17% of the video, most viewers stopped watching at 0.2 seconds.

Lol fuck no. Not listening to pop music or insipid commercial radio stations isn't living in a bubble. The world is WAY bigger than both pop music and America.

Every anti-trans attack is a repeat of the homophobic attacks of the 1960s,70,80s. Every transphobe is a bigot. I have also yet to see a transphobe who is not also racist. The media's coverage of trans hate has been used to make all kinds of bigotry acceptable

Ok. No video this time. BRAND NEW DARK currently sits #17 in the Canadian Mysteries sub category. Can it get to #1? With your help, I’m sure it can. Consider purchasing a copy. If not, consider sharing. Either way, thank you! #theroadtonumber1 www.amazon.com/Brand-Dark-B...

I've never heard of the song or the artist until I started seeing stuff about how it was breaking records. I still haven't heard it, nor do I really want to. I've never been into pop music. But it just proves even the biggest phenomenons can go unnoticed by many. (Doesn't bode well for my books. 👀)

They need to jail those Cornell rapists. And they also need to jail as accessories everyone who got a text about the rape and didn't call the police. And then get rid of fraternities, those things are fucking weird and just petri dishes of abuse.

So apropos of nothing in particular, let’s talk about media tie-in novel pay vs. original work pay, shall we? Let’s say you write a novel. It’s set in your own world, your own characters, and titled The Original. You get a book deal! Look at you go!

Let's take a minute to 'think about them beans'. Toe beans, that is. Why do some animals have little pink nubs on their feet, while others... don't? Let's start by looking at the-things-between-the-beans minus the fur. Time to look at a Sphynx cat's foot, up close. CW: cannot be UNSEEN.😬

there are only three narratives in fiction: 1) the hero's journey 2) a stranger comes to town 3) you killed my sifu and I will engage in a training montage and then fight my way through a series of increasingly ridiculous battles until I reach you to exact revenge

I've worn glasses for forty years, so I'm completely used to them. But every once in a while, for no discernible reason, I become aware of them. So annoying. (I bet if you wear glasses, you just became aware of them too. Sorry.)

There’s an old lady in our lane, always wears white, and my kid thinks she’s a witch. Says the white is camouflage. I’m inclined to agree. Let me tell you why.

I'm mostly deaf in my left ear (maybe 10% hearing) but if I press that ear to my cat I can hear her purring and it's one if the most soothing sounds there is. Just as well she likes shoulder cuddles too. Symbiosis.

THIS. AI isn't "going rogue" any more than those exploding Samsung galaxy phones from 2016 went rogue. Human engineers poorly deployed a technology and there were negative consequences. The responsibility falls entirely on humans.

An openAI system is doing what it was programmed to do because it does not have agency. Every time we accept the framing that anthropomorphizes these programs made by jumped up horny white men, we are accepting their propaganda.
