the fact that I find myself intentionally scrolling past, blocking out, and otherwise ignoring countless atrocities and outrages every day does not make me feel great. yet it's the only way to survive

I'm realizing that my greatest fear for a second Trump presidency isn't so much the specific horrors and cruelties that await but rather--that I'll become inured to them. That I'll become so worn down and gaslit that I'll wrap my relative privilege around myself and hunker down as long as I can

I really thought I remembered a post announcing that feature from a while back but I guess my mind's playing tricks on me.

looks like there are some browser extensions that will do the job (not that you were asking for advice)

I could have sworn they did have that second one?

not the point, but my eye/brain plucked this phrasing out of its context and did something extremely funny

men, what's stopping you from looking like Robert Dudley, 1st Earl of Leicester

oil painting of Robert Dudley, 1st Earl of Leicester, circa 1575. He's wearing an absolutely fabulous outfit with lots of gold, brocade, and ruffles, a beret-like hat with a fluffy white plume, and hugely voluminous short breeches. His facial hair would not be out of place on a Portland hipster.

One thing about American's widespread distrust and disapproval of the Supreme Court is that mainstream news coverage mostly doesn't dwell on stuff like standing, so people don't even begin to grasp how rigged the Court truly is www.nytimes.com/live/2025/10...

It's not just that they're going to strike down a law against conversion therapy, it's that they're going to do it on behalf of made-up claims from a straw plaintiff who can't honestly show the law affected her at all

People once again need to internalize that "generative AI" is a small subset of machine learning, that machine learning is a critical tool that you cannot run a site without past a certain volume Bluesky has long since exceeded, and that it is FAR more reliable than user reporting.
