How do I explain to offline people that my favorite Japanese mascot said "we can only be liberated from queer oppression if we are truly seen as human" and then started wielding fireworks like a rocket launcher on the side of a mountain without sounding like I've totally lost it?

Chiitan has a dream.
I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past.
I will continue to spread my message until we live in a world where everyone can love freely and is free from persecution and discrimination.
Until then, let's all support each other🤍

essentially the only thing that I like about this web site is that it is named after a creature that we hunted to extinction back at a time when hunting things to extinction was presumably a pretty hard thing to do. it lends a mournful and apologetic air to the whole undertaking. like, sorry we killed you and everyone you ever knew. it was all in the name of elevating a species that can't even decide whether our own lives are worth living. anyway, here's posts

getting urinated on would be a less humiliating way to lose a rap battle

Over the course of 16 days, the two artists released eight so-called “diss tracks,” with increasingly heated rhetoric, loaded accusations, and violent imagery. The penultimate song of this feud, “Not Like Us”
by Kendrick Lamar, dealt the metaphorical killing blow. The song contains lyrics explicitly accusing Drake of being a pedophile, set to a catchy beat and propulsive bassline. “Not Like Us” went on to become a cultural sensation, achieving immense commercial success and critical acclaim.

"Accordingly, the Court must consider the entire rap battle"

Joshua J. Friedman @joshuajfriedman.com · 5h

"The Court takes judicial notice" of press attention on the Drake–Lamar beef.

Additionally, it was not just the Recording which gained a cultural ubiquity,
but the rap battle itself. In deciding this motion to dismiss, the Court need not
blind itself to the public attention garnered by this particular rap battle. The Court
takes judicial notice of the extensive mainstream media reporting that surrounded
the release of "Not Like Us" and the associated feud between Drake and Lamar.
See, e.g., Req. J. Not., Exs. B, C, P.4 Accordingly, the Court must consider the entire rap battle to assess whether the average listener would take Lamar's statements as
objective fact or opinion.

So this guy was pretty much wrong about everything.

Argath aka Algus yells "Animals have no God!!" like a jerk. The original translation of Final Fantasy Tactics is notoriously rough, but I always liked how blunt this line was.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Underreported aspect of what might be happening with datacenter “commitments” is they often rely on these public/private deals you CAN shut down. It’s one of the few levers people have to pull against tech.

A "small" datacenter was going to go up near me in Charlotte and the local community (including my conservative in-laws) fought it and won.

It's not inevitable.

a crude drawing of a trash bin with a large human face sticking out of the top of it, surrounded by trash, with the caption "early testing for the public trash bins with human faces that beg to be fed garbage indicated that most found them too unsettling to use. However, the small number of participants, including some investors, who said they found the bins deeply erotic, and attempted to form romantic relationships with the bins was considered promising enough to continue funding the project."

Academic language is meant to hide emotion and intent, for good reason. Swearing is the opposite and a valuable social skill for regular human interaction

A data hoarder set up a searchable archive of the Epstein docs released by the House Oversight Committee. Used OCR and a self-hosted AI to analyze and categorize them.

Actually useful bc the docs were released as disorganized jpeg files in a giant Google Drive

damning thread on how the IDF's propaganda arm is scraping 3D assets intended for things like games, films, or architectural purposes and kitbashing together supposed hamas bunkers and iranian nuclear sites. a genocide campaign propped up in part by someone's nephew who got too into blender.

NEW: Since October 2023, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit has released dozens of 3D animations illustrating alleged Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iranian sites

The style is now unmistakable: satellite zoom-ins, black & white wireframes, and red-textured houses - a new visual language of war
