I thought three-bean casserole was a recipe and not a warning. I added a fourth bean. Oh, my blasphemy, my hubris! Dear lord, forgive me. I have unleashed the Balrog. They are called Legion for they are many. The Outer Gods and The Old Ones roam the earth. Oh cursed bean!

It’s a great tweet because it illustrates how building clout in the right, as far back as 2015, was so much about being racist that this guy made up a racist tradition to farm likes bsky.app/profile/jess...

YouTube keeps serving me this same ad saying “with Google Gemini you can make videos of Pandas on a fashion runway.”
Really? That’s the best use case you’ve got for flushing hundreds of millions of dollars and all our drinking water?

Laura K dancing around the issue of youth poverty without ever asking the key question: any business that can’t or won’t pay a proper living wage is a failure. Demanding state subsidies and handouts instead of paying your workers is not ‘entrepreneurial’.

male from “high profile family” - eg white wealthy colonisers - is not once referred to as sex offender despite two guilty verdicts. Courts give him a suppression order and media give him a pseudonym. Rape culture is top-order colonial white patriarchy.

I can’t get over how Barbie succeeded because it offered tangible ways for women and girls to celebrate each other (and dress up and go to the movies together) but studios thought it worked because it’s about toys so now they’re making like Bananagrams the movie

Straight and bisexual women already have to deal with so much every day and then *do* so much before dates but men are complaining about actual standards and boundaries like "he needs to book a restaurant", "he needs to work out in some capacity" and "he needs to have a bed frame".

I'm starting to wonder how much "the male loneliness epidemic" is just straight and bisexual women identifying low-effort, mean, and incompetent men and choosing not to date, marry, and tolerate them anymore
