Are they just fucking with us by brining out these gargoyles? Who the fuck did this to these women? Why do they keep doing it? Stop. Stop it.

I think my brain really broke when that person drew the busty furry dragons in the livery of various transit systems in the U.S. I now sit in a padded room rocking away thinking about the sexy bart dragon

Something interesting could happen in that all of the out of work tech sector people could join forces with the out of work journalists and make new media platforms so we’re not dependent on big tech for all of our information. But ain’t nobody funding that start up idea

Are we really talking about separating art from the artist or are we just talking about jk rowling and the fucking harry potter show again?

I don’t like how I’ll watch a couple episodes of an old gundam show and then every algorithm thinks I’m a housebound chronic anime masturbator. I like some shows but most anime annoys me.

One of the worst takes I’ve heard come out of the anti-AI discourse (I am NOT pro AI) is people treating emails like they’re some sort of like sacred method of communication. like bitch if I never have to write an email to anyone ever again it will be too soon

One thing I don’t know Dems and libs are ready for is as soon as Trump is no longer in the picture permanently is the large in flux of ex-Trump voters there are going to be in the party. Like, that’s just how things work. The median voter is a horrific flip flopper.

I had a thought where I imagined if Trump where Trump had a spell put on him and he had to be really sincere, reluctant to hurt people’s feelings and like neurotically self aware and it had me laughing for a bit just imagining him being like “aw geez I’m really sawwy”

FYI, I am not watching that Harry Potter show. I’m a 34 year old man. I watch golden age Simpsons, pretend to read nabakov, but mostly stare at the ceiling thinking about all my life’s regrets. You know, adult activities

Hypocrisy is the language of tyranny. They know what they’re saying, they know what they’re doing. And they know they don’t match up. They don’t have to match up for them, they only have to match for your, or else. That’s the privilege tyrants bestow on themselves.

You absolutely can separate art from the artist. Because you can also separate their art from their income. Wink wink nudge nudge

God, making the Great Lakes: I have created one of the largest systems of precious fresh water on the planet. Americans: let us dump industrial and nuclear wastewater into it, and use what’s left to cool data centers so the govt can make videos of the president dropping poop on American cities.

After a decade of this madness, it’s strange to think that Barack Obama enjoyed a popularity that almost no president enjoys at the end of their second term but yet democrats have just been shitting the bed against a guy who literally shits his bed every day.

Trump was very sluggish after the war started. At first I thought it was because he’s an addled old man who was getting bored. But I’ve noticed he’s started perking up. The dude is like a serial killer. There’s a spree of violence, a cool down and then his energy starts to build back up.

Any science fiction where the premise is the earth has been exhausted and we need to leave to start over—whether that’s in the foreground or background—is colonialist.

I just resigned from NASA. It breaks my heart to leave, but I’ve become convinced the best path forward is to do the best science I can, and that can’t be here anymore. I’m still in love with the promise of those four magic letters. Ad astra per aspera, and remember: Earth is the only good planet.

The only “jobs” that pay ample salaries anymore are: agent of the state who protects private property, person who manages the assets of private property owners, and owning assets and property.

Hi, I hope some of you realize that they fired those people at the Washington Post and CBS so they could refill those positions with journalist that have worldviews more in line with Jeff Bezos, billionaires and fascists. Thank you for your attention in this matter.

There is a tiny group of elites who conspire behind the scenes to control society, manipulate the media, and hoard the fruits of our labor. They abuse us and our children without a hint of justice. They are incredibly powerful and couldn't care less about us. They're called "capitalists."

I’d say we have to go back to databases and legacy or independent media but all of those things have also either been enclosed, decimated or under resourced, sometimes by these same tech lords
