I hate Jeff Dunham for sport

I hate Aziz Ansari for vendetta

Desi representation is horrendous, even among marginalized groups, so to have one of us do such good work in telling our stories with Master of None, only to turn around and be a creep, it feels like an extra personal betrayal

If there are zero Aziz Ansari haters left on this earth, it's because I am dead

It felt like Aziz Nasari was mostly free of his MeToo rep but then he does Riyadh it's so funny it's like he got used to be being cancelled and couldn't live without it like Brooks on the outside in Shawshank Redemption lol

Dear President Obama,
I saw in your statement you said "Israeli families" & "the people of Gaza."
Palestinians have families, too.
This kind of language contributes to dehumanization. Dehumanization is part of what caused so many to stay silent as 20,000 children were killed in this genocide.
I've sat with wonderful Palestinian families from Gaza. They look at their children just like we look at ours - with all the love & hope in the world.

When I first got into the games industry, I felt so so so lucky. It was my dream. Now here in 2025 I'm watching as the people who run it drive it into the ground while casting out marginalized folks (who, mind you, were already being treated terribly). Fuck you, cowards.

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

Normally I wouldn't say anything because usually people are just being petty and sexist but I feel like I'm seeing what fellow White Women say the criticisms of the new T.S. album are are VERY different than the criticisms I'M seeing which are primarily from Women of Color

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

HAPPENING NOW — This morning, Mayor Brandon Johnson signed an executive order establishing “ICE-free zones.”

“That means that city property and unwilling private businesses will no longer serve as grounds for these raids,” Johnson said to applause.

I've found that in my 30s, I'm infinitely less bothered about what other people think and I'm much more intentional with my decisions and the people I surround myself with. I've accepted that life isn't short, it's very long, and I'm more deliberate with protecting the quality of it

34 here, but one very consistent thing I see that stresses people out about turning 30 is the perception that everything is downhill afterwards. It's an especially prevalent view in gen z, and could not be further from the truth.

Those who are 35+, what advice do you have for people just entering their 30s?
