So much tear gas that people who aren't even protesting are getting sick when they leave their homes to run errands: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

ICE is hounding Chicago area locals with excessive chemical munitions

Agents are firing tear gas and pepper balls on lawful protesters, lawsuits say, sickening even uninvolved residents.

Let's say, for sake of argument, that it isn't an innate characteristic from birth. You know what that changes about this issue?

Absolutely nothing. Gender expression STILL should not be restricted in that case, because it harms no one to allow people to live happily as their gender.

“The existence of even one ex gay dismantles the central lie of homosexuality, that it is an innate characteristic from birth and therefore should have human rights awarded to it.”

Same shit different era.

Chloe Cole: The existence of even one detransitioner dismantles the central lie of transgenderism, that it is an innate characteristic from birth and therefore should have human rights awarded to it.

An edit of the "OK Mario"/"No Mario" comic by @sloshua_ on Twitter. It has been edited to replace Mario with a crude Master Chief (from Halo). The dialogue reads:

Master Chief: "ENTER MY AMAZING WORLD OF ACQUISITIONS AND AI SLOP"
Guy: "NO JOHN"
Master Chief: "30 dollars a month"
Guy: "NO JOHN"

New video idea: the weird pivot of Kenny Loggins from singer/songwriter in the 60s and 70s to writing like every iconic 80s banger movie soundtrack. These two songs were by the same man.

So last night I migrated @gregpak.net from Bluesky to Blacksky's myatproto.social server for non-Black users! A few thoughts on the process for anyone thinking about this...

And as a reminder, these data centers absolutely DESTROY the neighborhoods they're built around (which tend to be poor and Black, gee I wonder why that is).

"For instance, CNBC found that one Microsoft data center in Illinois received more than $38 million in data center sales tax exemptions but created just 20 permanent jobs."

In race to attract data centers, states can forfeit hundreds of millions of dollars in tax revenue to tech companies

Amazon, Meta and Google are among the beneficiaries of state tax exemptions for data centers that help power AI.

any random moderately successful small restaurant creates 20 jobs

imagine how many little businesses that $38 million could spawn if we *correctly* allocated that capital to *actual job producers* (which are always small business)

Eeeyup. Dropped this evening over on Shitter. The best part? The boyfriend/manager she threw under the bus last we heard from her? Apparently they're still together and he helped her write this bullshit that's somehow longer than the entirety of Lord of the Rings.

Oh my, yes, the latest VTuber shenanigans is Sinder came back with a Google Doc that's as long as Stephen King's IT. One of the mods in a chat I'm in did Ctrl+F and "lie" shows up almost 500 times while "regret" shows up 10 times, so it's sounding like a complete shitshow.

The second I heard about Sinder's 1000 page Google Doc, my immediate thought was to break it down in a video. Because I hate myself and nobody else should have to suffer through that much bullshit.

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.
