Ryan North? But - he died... 30 years ago this very night!! @ryannorth.ca · 5h

I used to get mad when people misused "decimated" to refer to things that weren't 1/10th destroyed, but I've given it some thought and now I've done a complete 360 on it

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Bunch of oligarchs saying shit that should bring about massive investigations on how they operate and noone with the power to act on it does anything

What Thiel is saying about tax havens = what Altman is saying about copyright:

"I can't be rich unless you let me steal from you."

This is how Broligarchs differ from oligarchs of yore: the latter tried to hide their thievery; the Broligarchs trumpet their entitlement to steal as a natural right.

I have a theory that when designing a social simulation / generator, it can be useful to keep in mind a story you’d like your system to be able to organically generate. not every system should generate the same story but I have a short list of high-salience interesting stories I reach for. (1/2)

Oh, I was wondering why I no longer had the option to report TERFs to a moderation list I was subbed to.

Description of a moderation list --now titled as "Hidden list"-- made by brainnotonyet.bsky.social

The description reads "trans exclusionary radical feminists who are using rightwing language to attack minority groups."

BUT HEY!

THAT'S JUST A Segway to remind you that the FNAF creator/this movie's screenwriter, Scott Cawthon, donates the money he makes from FNAF stuff to far right politicians, many of whom are currently trying to make things worse for everyone, specifically trans people. Don't support this film.

I'm like pretty pro Palestine for a lefty Zionist lib
Jew but man do l ever have ms Rachel derangement syndrome and I hate myself for it

User 1
her advocacy for Palestinians doesn't bother me nearly as much as she is so desperately doing all this as an actual act of transparent virtue signaling, to fill the absence she has in depth of character
•••
User
also I get it the Palestinian side has seen the disproportionate majority of the bloodshed and suffering at this point but if you didn't shed the same tears for innocent Israeli civilians I think you at best have an agenda and at worst are an unrepentant antisemite but that's a whole can o worms

LMAOOOOO

A bunch of comedians tried to make up for their participation in the Riyadh comedy festival by donating their pay to Human Rights Watch and Human rights Watch was like “nah bitch we don’t want your dirty blood money” 😂😂 I’m dying

Human Rights Watch Doesn’t Want Any Riyadh Comedy Festival Money

Taking money from those who took money from Saudi Arabia would impact perception of the org’s independence.

Not that living forever wouldn't have its good parts, of course.

Fantasmiko @ghostlyperson.bsky.social · 22h

I mean I understand the surprise but personally I already get often tired of the experience of living and I'm 25. I like the idea of dying as resting after living, and to some extent the fact that death is unavoidably the end is comfortable and pushes me to try to actually make something of my life

Your most "let's fucking GO" moment in a videogame?

(Mine would probably be the first fight in Ace Combat 7 and almost entirely because of the soundtrack)

Fantasmiko @ghostlyperson.bsky.social · 23h

Could be worse. Could be the beastfly. I genuinely think that I have never been as badly stuck as in that fight. This one was great in comparison (still took me way too many tries though, I feel your pain)
