The right really loves to throw this word around because they see it as a test. They delight in the cruelty of it.

The video is censored because what came out of his mouth was so hateful it violated community standards. Read that again: a sitting U.S. Senator said something so vile that social media platforms won’t even allow the uncensored version to exist online.

I think it's a fair actually as the original reply could be misconstrued as support of The Heritage Foundation.

Anyone else who's never used custom content clothing suddenly have a Sim completely change hair and skin color and all of the skins in one of their outfits? Like why is Bjorn Bjergson black with gray hair? #thesims4

In May of 1945, locked away in a bunker under Berlin, as the Soviets were coming, Joseph Goebels and his wife gave his children cyanide caplets and murdered them all.

He killed them rather than give them a chance to live in a world he could not control.

There really should be special event weather in The Sims 4. Like it should never invite you to a rave if it's raining because the DJ equipment doesn't work outside in the rain.

I wonder if that would explain why deaths are up for sedans as well as SUVs. The cars are just heavier..

Y'all when you see this obvious AI slop on your timeline that stays up for more than an hour after it's pointed out that it's AI, report it to Bluesky. Maybe they won't do something about AI here, but we should at least make it annoying for them.

Wearing an n95 is BY FAR the single most impactful act of resistance a person can do right now.

Your maskless face is the bullet in a fascist’s gun.

Mask up to resist eugenics by protecting vulnerable groups like kids, BIPOC, trans, disability and immigrant communities.

It already has proved to be a terrible idea for the schools that have done it. A bully is never content.

MIT refuses to accept White House terms for funding, other schools still mulling

Massachusetts Institute of Technology President Sally Kornbluth on Friday said she "cannot support" a memo that the White House sent to nine elite U.S. universities last week detailing policies they should follow to get preferential consideration for federal funding.
