This is how good the economy used to be. You used to be able to have 3 or more families on the go at one time.

A comic strip featuring two characters discussing how to deal with negative comments on posts, with four panels: 1. The first character, standing, asks, "How do you deal with negative comments on your posts?" The second character, sitting at a laptop, responds, "I used to argue." 2. The first character continues, "But it's much simpler to just block somebody if you detect any kind of negative energy." 3. The first character, now with arms crossed and eyes closed, says, "That's a pretty stupid way to deal wi-" before being cut off. 4. The second character, now alone and smiling, continues working on the laptop. At the bottom right corner, there is a small text: ©JimBenton.com.

Dec 4th 2027 - The militant immigrant-rights group the Fishes are ambushed while escorting the only pregnant woman in the world, a refugee named Kee.

📽️📅 Children of Men (2006)
3 Screenshots from the movie "Children of Men" (2006): First, a tense scene inside a car with Julian Taylor (played by Julianne Moore) sitting in the front passenger seat, looking concerned, while others sit silently in the back. Second, the view from the car's windshield shows a desolate forest road blocked by a burning, overturned vehicle, with debris scattered across the path. Third, a high-tech screen inside the car displays a live news report labeled "TERRORIST LEADER KILLED," accompanied by a timestamp reading "04/12/27, 13:18 PM," and the image of a road from a surveillance perspective marked "TARGET LOCKED."

Crucial is shutting down — because Micron wants to sell its RAM and SSDs to AI companies instead. It’s already getting hard to build an affordable PC, and the exit of the longstanding provider of consumer memory is going to make that even more challenging www.theverge.com/news/837594/...

We're watching the wholesale burning of every scrap of dignity afforded to trans people in the UK, their rights, their medical services, their employment, their place within society, their bodily functions.

It is a disgrace, and a disgusting stain on the government and media of this country.

I just found this little solar robot bug I made 20 years ago.

It captures many qualities:
- Art & Design Constraint
- electrical hacks, using components “the wrong way”
- extreme minimalism for max results

Also, something interesting changed while it sat for 20 years!

Let me explain…

Valve artist Ayi Sanchez made a great statement concerning "Made With AI" to be removed from Steam.

"(...) Consumers should have the information to decide if they want to buy something (...) depending on its content. The only ppl afraid of this are the ones that know their product is low effort."
Matt Workman @cinedatabase • Nov 1 3 Steam and all digital marketplaces need to drop the "Made with AI" label. It doesn't matter any more. AVI SANCHEZ @ayi_sanchez This is like saying food products shouldn't have their ingredients list. Consumers should have the information to decide if they want to buy something or not depending on its content. The only ppl afraid of this are the ones that know their product is low effort. 9:27 PM Nov 25, 2025 20.6K Views

The Next One Here's what's going to happen next. Somewhere, right now, a trans person is teaching a class, or coaching a team, or working at a library, or providing healthcare. They're doing their job. They're probably good at it. And at some point, someone is going to have a problem with them. Maybe a parent, maybe a student, maybe a coworker. The problem won't really be about job performance. The problem will be that they're trans. That person, or someone connected to them, will take their grievance to social media. If they're lucky, Libs of TikTok will pick it up. Or Turning Point. Or one of the other accounts that have built massive followings by turning trans people into content. The post will frame the trans person as a predator, or a groomer, or a bully, or a tyrant. It won't matter what actually happened. The framing is the point. Then the calls will start. To the school board, to the administration, to the HR department. Local news will cover the "controversy." A state legislator will demand an investigation. The institution, desperate to make the problem go away, will put the trans person on leave. Maybe they'll be fired outright. Maybe they'll resign because the harassment makes it impossible to do their job. Either way they're gone. And then the person who started it all will go on Fox News. They'll get a GoFundMe. Maybe a speaking gig at a conservative conference. If the story is big enough, if it goes viral enough, they might get something more. A podcast. A book deal. A center with their name on it. This is not a guess. This is a pattern. We've watched it happen over and over again, and we will keep watching it happen until the institutions that capitulate to these campaigns start recognizing them for what they are: coordinated attempts to purge trans people from public life, dressed up as individual controversies.

i hope every single person who still buys harry potter merch or engages with that franchise is happy that they're literally making girl guides cry

girl guides uk have been forced very much against their will to exclude trans girls. full statement is here: www.girlguiding.org.uk/information-...
This update includes information you may find upsetting. Please take care when reading. From today, it is with a heavy heart that we announce trans girls will no longer be able to join Girlguiding. This is a decision we would have preferred not to make, and we know that this may be upsetting for members of our community. There will be no immediate changes for current young members, but more information will be shared soon. Most adult roles - including unit helpers, district helpers and administrative support - are already open to all, so we are confident that no volunteers will have to leave the organisation. Girlguiding believes strongly in inclusion, and we will continue to support young people and adults in marginalised groups. Over the next few months, we will explore opportunities to champion this value and actively support young people who need us. We stand in solidarity with trans girls and women.

there’s a scene in the new documentary where Elizabeth Taylor is talking about the stigma of AIDS and how she got involved in the movement and it’s fucking everything
Elizabeth Taylor in an 80s press conference speaking on the stigma of AIDS “…And it so angered me that I finally thought to myself, Bitch, do something yourself.” from the documentary “Elizabeth Taylor: The Lost Tapes.”
