my car is right years old. my pc is five years old. my phone is four. the phone case still had the ruins of my first "i got the covid vaccine!" sticker on it until i replaced it with an "i voted" sticker earlier this month. i have a four-year-old ipad and just upgraded this week to an ipad air.
stupid young people, stop buying a new phone every year if you don't want to be broke. wait no, not like that.

random youtube video was about stargate universe, got me to start watching it since i never did, and now i'm about ready to cry.

the optimism of obama-era america was wonderful. i miss it so much. we could do things to better each other. i could believe we *would* do things.

i want that back.

see also 'if your AI created revenge porn of underage girls we're treating it as if your CEO personally created and sent CSAM'
see also 'if your AI hit a kid and dragged them 500 feet in your self driving car we're treating it as if your CEO was personally behind the wheel and texting during it'
maybe we just say 'if your AI said it we're treating it as if your CEO said it to their face' for the purposes of liability

this is the only way to ensure proper accountability.

so apparently noah smith wasn't around when obama was in office and the republicans went feral. when they declared obama to be unamerican. not a legitimate president. kenyan.

they used to call them "truthers", claiming they had some secret truth. who got started in politics that way? ump something?

DOGE did not fail in any way to accomplish its goals.

Its goals were never efficiency or saving money.

Its goals were to destroy as much of government as possible forever, and to steal data for the Space Nazi.

DOGE is fading away like bank robbery gangs fade away after the robberies are done.

help i'd like to report my own murder.
Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

RFK's goal is to kill children, specifically sick children.

If you assumed that was *not* his goal, you'd think that he was failing at an entirely, completely different goal: not killing children.

It's interesting how easy it is for people to look at someone *wildly* succeeding at a horrific goal, and continue acting as if they are failing at a very different goal which they have repeatedly and loudly declared they do not have.

saw some guys on facebook say they hated that horizon "forced" them to play gay. that supposedly aloy is clearly bi because she's "always shown a little interest in the guys into her" and i just...

my dudes, if you think that's what reciprocating interest looks like, i pity the women in your life.

google taking tabs away from people who don't grant permission to use all their data for "ai" is deeply childish.

and also, it's gotten me to unsubscribe from lots of things i should have unsubscribed from years ago. i've actually bought things from marketing emails before and now i won't anymore.

She wanted to run for senate. Trump wouldn’t let her. She knows she has no path to higher office through MAGA. She’s been getting popular with the left cause you’re all a bunch of fucking suckers. And she taking advantage of the moment to make a noisy step and gain more attention.

this. the antisemitic woman who supports fuentes and makes claims about jewish space lasers is not suddenly reformed. she hasn't decided to become a good person.
Everyone stop acting weird and shocked about MTG. She has been systematically distancing herself from the current GOP for months and months. She has a plan reform herself under a new image ON THE RIGHT that’s not part of a sinking ship.

She’s not suddenly changing her tune! SHE’S AN OPPORTUNIST

hazbin hotel is so good. and so far it's only gotten better. highly quotable, banger songs, excellent characters. and the stylized animation is so good. i want more things this weird to exist.

think of how much more we could have if people could focus on their art instead of mere survival. ubi now.

how was this joker ever taken seriously by *anyone* as a democrat?
Secretary Kennedy, speaking to a bipartisan group of governors, has mixed up Medicare and Medicaid, and implied the people who will lose the latter are either unauthorized immigrants, dual eligible, or people who “don’t want to get a job.”

when the median white person is abandoning the "hurt anyone with a darker skin tone" party, you know everyone knows they fucked up big.

i eagerly await the media spin about how this is bad for democrats.

🔵 Democrats: 50%
🔴 Republicans: 46%

Charlotte, NC: After Trump's ICE fascists raided and arrested 130 people last weekend, this week students responded.

An estimated 30,000 students skipped class and walked out to protest these ICE fascists.

Young people leading the way to build a future committed to meaningful justice. Let's go.

among everything else going on, i'm still sad that lance reddick is gone. one of my favorite actors. the man just had tremendous presence and by all accounts a tremendous strength of character as well.

and sylens is such a key part of what makes horizon work.
