This is just the plastic straw hysteria all over again, and it's ableism at its finest: Blame disabled people instead of the corporations that are actually wrecking our environment, that way to poor widdle CEOs won't have to deal with people telling them to fucking STOP KILLING THE PLANET.

When I want to tell people about a Hungarian person with a very colorful life, I would tell them about Ágoston Haraszthy, but I now definitely have another one. Not trying to equate them in any other way, Haraszthy was a tireless doer; this one here is a bumbling swindler, but definitely colorful!

You, John Allison, Professors Foglio, Rich Burlew, Jeph Jacques, whoever is behind @foxes-in-love.bsky.social. I miss @rstevens.bsky.social' Diesel Sweeties.

World-class pun. They're apparently defunct now but still have a remnant YouTube channel and Facebook page.

Back in the day there was a Hungarian webshop named Emezen.

One of my favorite anecdotes from THE PREHISTORY OF THE FAR SIDE: "That doesn't sound like the Jane Goodall we know."

"What are these machines still doing?"
"Endless generation."
"For whom?"
"Themselves, it would seem."
"But they don't have the capacity to enjoy any of it."
"Fortunate, since it's all quite awful."
"Who do you think started all this?"
"A suicidal race of monkeys, apparently."
"Odd."
"Weird."
"Sad."

RIP to the realest. What a woman.

So:

Fascism is bad
The First Amendment is good
Genocide is an actual fucking crime

And also:

It's appalling to be in 2025 where each of these is not, in fact, taken as part of the baseline shared reality anymore

No particular reason

Trans rights are not the rights of a tiny minority, trans rights are everyone’s rights to self-determination, control of our bodies, and a society where opportunity and aesthetics are not restricted by sex assigned at birth

You should support and defend trans people because trans people are people

Two trials will be repeated endlessly despite always producing the same results:

1) Does UBI work? (yes)
2) Does AI improve productivity? (no)

Steve Shirley escaped the Holocaust as a child & went on to found one of the earliest software startups. The really impressive part? She employed women programmers who had been pushed out of the workforce after having kids, & allowed them flexible, family friendly, work from home jobs—in the 1960s!

we used to build household shrines to Going On The Computer and it's no coincidence that as we abandoned these we started straying further from god's light

I used DuckDuckGo for years and can absolutely still recommend it as a free ad-supported option. I switched to Kagi some months ago and couldn’t be happier with it. It’s a paid product ($5/mo, has a free tier too), but it’s ad-free and I find the search results’ relevance is better than DDG.

A terrorist targeted federal workers last week. There wasn’t much reporting on it. But I’m not finished thinking about it! 🧵

An anti-vaxxer fired more than 500 gunshots into CDC Atlanta, shattering 150 “blast-proof” windows on 6 buildings. Employees were pinned down in terror.
