if you’re willing to throw vulnerable minorities under the bus immediately, long before we even have nominees, long before any election, you’re doing elections wrong and you need to get out of the way because you are a *stone* around the neck of progress.

The "cognitive decline and brain damage from repeat COVID infections" and "easy to use robot that makes slop and melts your critical thinking skills" is a hell of a combo in a post-fact media ecosystem

The spread of Buddhism is the underlying cause of falling fertility rates. Too many people escaped samsara and don't need to be reborn.

Does anyone remember this term from the beginning of the pandemic to describe feeling horrible all day & then you end up staying up too late because you’re trying to get to a place where you’re feeling kind of okay, and then the staying up too late feeds the whole pattern? Anyway, that’s where I am.

Because it feels relevant as we continue to evaluate the media and our representatives’ statements, my favorite way to identify the active vs. passive voice.

A post by Rebecca Johnson:
“I finally learned how to teach my guys to ID the passive voice. If you can insert "by zombies" after the verb, you have passive voice.”

A tumblr respond from mightymur:
“The final, brilliant word on passive voice.
"She was killed [by zombies.]"<--passive
"Zombies killed [by zombies] her." <-- active”

im ngl i think its quite funny that the bsky dev teams best response to their reputation getting turned to shit is to go "well maybe we should get aaron to post again", its like waking up in a burning house and reflexively reaching for the petroleum to douse the flames

i would love if universal basic income was a thing here because i think disabled people having to go through a horrible humiliation ritual + then get denied anyway + have to go to court is such a twisted, fucked up way to go about things

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.
