Wow @cornelluniversity.bsky.social what an incredible piece of shit you are. Fascist supporting rapists in your ivory tower.

As an IT guy with nearly 30 years of working to help people use these products this threqd rings so true to me. People enjoy my help precisely because I have grown to HATE IT and jokingly call myself the IT Luddite. The only reason I stay is job ageism esp when trying to change professions.

If you are a fellow man and read any of this post and feel the urge to post “not all men” then know you are a major part of the problem. We (men) need to help teach other men how to be better in word and deed. And your head is far up your ass if “not all men” is your gut reaction.

One of the Cornell students accused of gang rape, Scott Kretzschmar, denies it and says through his attorney that they are going to “confront” the survivor through the court system. I can already tell you that means victim-blaming, DARVO, and smears. She is going to need a lot more of our support.

NYC spends approximately $200,000 a year for every inmate in the corrections system. It spends about $27,000 a year for every student enrolled in CUNY.

Both from Boston.com - Boston Globe's home page - right now (11:22am on 09-21-26). Seems like this could be some kind of issue with our policing, but we should probably just continue to trust them all with no oversight, right? "a few bad apples" indeed?

When he is finally no longer president it's not him we'll need to deal with - he's ALWAYS been this guy. It's the enablers, from the congressional GOP, to the billionaires & tech bros, to the boot licking press that found "biden too boring", who need to pay for the rest of their days. NEVER FORGET

I truly, deeply, sincerely do think the guy flipping burgers at McDonalds should be able to afford rent, bills, and groceries with his paycheck alone. That's kind of the whole point of having a job and I can't believe this is considered a radical position.🤷🏽‍♀️

It’s very simple. A reality TV host became dictator because he turned down a role for Sharknado 4 and that’s why the king of outer space, who cheats at Diablo, got to kill Africa. Now the economy is controlled by a sex cult that has something to do with Harry Potter fanfic because of robots.

Crossfit, croissant, it's all the same...
A classical oil-painting style portrait of two anthropomorphic otters in period clothing set in a domestic art studio, featuring Steve the standing painter otter at an easel and a second otter seated with a sketchbook.  
Baked-in text (meme captions) reads exactly:  
“I’m still tired from all the crossfit this morning.”  
“It’s pronounced croissant and you ate 4 of them.”

So POTUS & FLOTUS are apparently not at the ceremony (in fact it appears POTUS is on his way to golf in Ireland). If true, then @apnews.com this is pretty fucking gross and nobody should trust your “news” ever again.
AP photo and headline that falsely suggests the President and his wife are at the 9/11 commemoration ceremonies.

werner herzog on AI filmmaking (from here www.indiewire.com/features/int...)
Q: A couple years ago at IDFA, I saw this movie "About a Hero," which is this partly Al-generated hybrid documentary that tries to recreate the atmosphere of your films.

A: The intention of this young filmmaker was never to remake any [of my films], but making something in the spirit. And I immediately said, "You will fail. It is such a stupid idea. It's phenomenally, abysmally stupid. I will not take part in it." He wanted me to explain things and have my voice in it.
I said, "You are alone. There's such a thing as free speech, which I respect. So go ahead and fail." And it is a failure, period.
It's so standardized that Al can step in because there's not real storytelling. It's mimicry of something that has happened before. And I welcome Al to replace all the idiots who are into nothing but repeating, repeating, repeating until it's ad nauseam.
When it's ad nauseam, please, please, please let Al step in and do the job.

Elon Musk supported the rising neo-Nazi party in Germany. He’s the number one funder of Republicans in the midterms. He’s supporting fascist agitators in England. It’s long past time for anyone who supports democracy to leave his propaganda website. It’s time to boycott X.

Food companies wanted deregulation. Now there are dozens of recalls across the country. Mining companies wanted deregulation. Now the black lung rate is at a 45-year high. Financial companies wanted deregulation. Now financial losses to fraud are the highest on record. Noticing a pattern?

New thing that I think would be good for all interviewers is to begin every interview by unfurling a scroll containing every prediction and promise the subject has made and start going down it, one at a time. No new questions until we address your old business.

Everywhere should be a hostile place for Republicans. They should not be able to find a friend anywhere. They should lose all their professional and familial relationships. They should be blocked from signing up to social media platforms, clubs, and yard sales. They should be ejected from fairs.

What we are seeing here is irrefutable evidence that politicians, at best, are a necessary evil to run things.... but we should not ever trust politicians who stop proving with their actions everyday that they are working for us... and WE SHOULD NEVER HERO WORSHIP POLITICIANS OF ANY SORT IN ANY WAY.

We're near the ten-year anniversary of this interview, which was viewed as wildly controversial at the time. It led to hit pieces on me from liberal outlets like The New Republic as well as death threats. Now it's seen as conventional wisdom -- but it always was!
