Here's the thing.

I feel like, if you'd spoken to a group of women, of any & all backgrounds, they could have predicted this. Same-same Black people. Same-same LGBTQIA+ folks. Same-same Jews.

I'm never surprised when men ~joke~ about raping women & non-Jews about shoving Jews into ovens.

This is cool after the war on everything called “porn” by platforms and payment processors. A machine that stole all your words can generate and sell “erotica” but you can’t haaa

I can’t help but think today about how many young people were savaged on social media, branded as anti-semites and abandoned by their schools for daring to call for a ceasefire. I remember saying that it was the first time I can remember that calling for ceasefire was regarded as a hostile demand.

Not to mention, it turned out at least half of the prominent New Atheists decided that allying with the Christian Right was better than not harassing people

I am being asked to tell my department which pieces of lab equipment should be supported with backup power because they expect rolling blackouts and brownouts in 2026 due to increased energy demands from AI. In case you're wondering how my day is going.

it's that time of year, it's time to get your flu and covid booster shot unless you're from massachusetts then it's time for your flu and covid borcester shot

Tama Kyoryu (dinosaur) is a mascot for the parks of Tama Hills, Tokyo. It has acorns for eyes, grass on its belly, and flowers and trees growing out of it.

I’m not kidding when I say these weird ass costumes and antics are actually an extremely effective tactic from a media standpoint bc when enough people do them, the media can’t fully scrub them out

There’s a lot going on but this is also bad. This building is part of why you love Robocop.

I mean I don’t personally need a purely self-interested reason to hold the notion of due process as a moral value but if I DID

How is this such an ear worm?

It feels terrible to have that choice taken out of your hands. I’m sorry!

That would the cutest buddy comedy ever!

“Roberts will go down in history as the most destructive chief justice.”

Why is my new cat comically small. She weighs less than this smoothie (don’t worry, she is much more fierce than the smoothie)
