Quick question: what is happening with the relative size of the sections on this graph?
A graph titled "no longer a woman has worked in tech, the likelier she is to have experienced harassment."

One 7% segment is small, but an 8% segment is the same size as a 28%

> Is Kanye West an antisemite? I don't think he ever claimed that descriptor.

@apollyonC.
> he said he was going deathcon 3 on jews

@themountaingoats.bsky.social my friend wanted to let you know that the Mountain Goats have gone to the bowels of CERN for radiation testing. (The back wall is radioactive enough that you're supposed to walk fast past it)

Truewagner (www.instagram.com/truewagner) is a treasure in these trying times
A patreon post from Alan wagner titled "the wagner promise":

We do NOT use generative AI here at Wagner Industries, because we want to retain the human touch.
If you receive, for example, a postcard of a man drinking Kool-Aid from a puddle on the ground...
Rest assured it's because we really went to the park, dug a small hole, filled it with Kool-Aid and made a man drink it through a straw.
That's the Wagner Promise!
(We filled the hole back in and put grass seed on top)

The scene in Children of Men where Theo goes to visit his friend in the Arc of the Arts, charged with saving humanities' "great works" from the end of civilization.

musk's basic problem is that twitter was not being run by lefty sjw types surpressing free speech, it was being run by business people who were trying to make money. with the same aim he'll end up trial-and-erroring his way back to their exact policies

Reminder that jco nailed this a while ago
Joyce Carol Oates tweeting:
"So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates-scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend's or relative's accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. In fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the "most wealthy person in the world.""

Chotner: It’s hard to fathom.

Riklin: I don’t have a lot of moments like this. I don’t remember someone in modern history who would go with you and do wonderful things, and then suddenly disappear and go against you. So now I am the bad guy? I supported you! I was the good guy! How did I become the bad guy, and the Ayatollah is the good guy?

@BryanMoMav15 with a tweet that reads: "Hunter Biden really is the most ethical degenerate ever. No Epstein Pedo shit, Hunter simply just enjoys getting blazed out of his mind with consenting Latina sex workers of age. He’s a proper American Freak, a man of the people honestly."

Happy pride from the trans affirming misogynist parrot!
A tweet by Iris Amelia (@devoutposter) saying "Happy pride from the trans affirming misogynist parrot". The tweet has a photo attached which features a parrot sitting on a perch. Under the perch is a sign that says "I bite women! Only handle me if you're a man." In the extreme foreground a hand is visible, likely irises, with a clear bite mark on it. I'm playing that the parrot sees Iris as the woman that she is.

Lhadatt Shirotsugh: Can anyone hear me? I'm the first man in space. If you look up, well, maybe you'll see it. Or at least please listen. We've left the oceans and climbed above the mountains. I'm flying. We've found the untouched realm of God. You have to look now it's your only chance. Nothing is here yet, not even air or water to ruin. Soon the next man will follow to touch it, and another, and in all the rush we may again destroy it. Maybe our killing comes from the madness of being confined? Please listen! There's no more reason to kill because we don't have any more borders now! Can anyone hear me? If you can hear me, then pray. The humblest of all things, the most noble. Pray for each step you take. Make a path that's safe so those who follow shall never stumble. Dear God, please give us your mercy. Mercy for we are lost. Forgive the irresponsible, the trivial men who beg you from the dark for the forgiveness of your light.

Drone comic by AYESHA A. SIDDIQI:

Two people of color in a barren landscape, one of whom is dressed with a head covering, are having a bomb dropped on them by a drone. The first one says "they say the next ones will be sent by a woman!", the one with a head covering replies, "really makes you feel like you're part of history."

I really appreciate that #hashtags are more functional here than on Twitter, but I also think that they should consider adding an option to not display them in line. I would use them a lot more if I didn't need to add a bunch of noise at the end of a skeet.

This makes perfect sense to me. It's like the mortifying ordeal meme. Offering something that people can engage with superficially is a lot less personally taxing and revealing. If things go well you can always open up later.
A meme repurposing "Christina's World" (1948) by Andrew Wyeth. The figure crawling in the field in the lower left is titled "me". The house in the distant upper right corner is titled "the comfort of love" and the large field separating the two is the titled "the mortifying ordeal of being known".
