the only solution is to add more trans girls to increase the throughput of bad faith per second so you can redirect it to increased robot production

I had no idea that the phrase “Back to the old drawing board” comes from this Peter Arno cartoon from March 1st 1941’s New Yorker. It’s rather splendid to be able to date the birth of what would become part of everyday speech with such precision.

Honestly, there's is no big lever, or switch that says "you are living in fascism" vs "you are not" - fascists love to PRETEND there is cause it makes their jobs easier, but fascism is just...a series of things that are done. Each bit of fascism has to be done, by people.

So I guess the US was also a fascist country when FDR was putting Japanese Americans in internment camps, right?

shout-out to every 1980s rpg that made combat either boring or so unnecessarily baroque that GMs learnt to tell other kinds of stories.

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like
Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me? Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.

Absolutely INSANE use of passive voice in this CNN piece

just incredible

@katmabu.bsky.social “landed on the ground” during the protest???
At least one other person, who identified herself on social media as Kat Abughazaleh, a former journalist also running for Congress, landed on the ground during that same protest after she was pushed by a federal law enforcement agent in a camouflage uniform wearing a full face covering, sunglasses and a helmet, video by CNN affiliate WBBM showed.
