I think the tech press bears an enormous amount of blame for this because they continue to cover Musk's announcements as "Maverick CEO Says Thing" rather than "Nazi Says Thing" and a lot of people take that level of normalcy as a signal that he's not really that bad

i do think a lot of mainstreamers have missed the ball on how musk has moved past "rich guy with funny opinions on race science" and into "literally just a nazi"

El-Sayed calls out Jesse Watters for his fixation on culture war issues instead of pocketbook topics

it is remarkable to me that so many people who are supposedly literate are unable to look at a word and sound it out. like if i put an unfamiliar word in front of the majority of my staff at work, they would have no idea how to read it and would need me to explain it to them

hoping Disney will save us is a deeply Americana disease

I don't think FF should ever fit cleanly into "fantasy" or "sci-fi" FFXVI is like maybe the closest its fit into one category but even then you got the robot fuckers

Would you like to see Final Fantasy 17 go for more a Sci-fi approach again after Final Fantasy 16 went full Fantasy www.resetera.com/threads/16...

the average tech exec and venture capitalist and honestly an alarming amount of bay area software engineers have close to zero interaction or connection with regular people, and the richer they are, the more isolated they've become. They have built rationalizations for everything.

Tech execs do not have, like, a theory of mind for people who aren’t tech execs. If they did, they wouldn’t be so frequently baffled by how repulsive normal people think their whole deal is right now

what if the plural of spice was speese

anyway i wanted to leave an update on the status of #tbhbom in case anyone here is following that. we're still here and we're still working on it, just slowly. we've both been wallowing in depression due to Circumstances, and i've been hard at work getting my costume up to snuff for a con in october

went down a rabbit hole last night browsing the accounts of "artist" scambots advertising their paid work and i really do have to wonder how many people fall for them. their samples are stolen from other artists with styles radically different from one another so they're not terribly convincing imo

Golden State Valkyries forward Gabby Williams: “There’s a lot of discourse around trans athletes and what they can compete in. I would welcome a trans athlete on my team or against my team. Anytime. I don’t think it’s a problem in the world, it’s just another way to kind of attack trans people.”

Daaaamn. “AI is the asbestos we're shovelling into the walls of our technological society. Our descendants will spend generations digging it out again, and the longer the bubble goes on without popping, the longer it will take to repair the damage." www.thenerve.news/p/cory-docto...

I’m telling you, corruption is what‘s pissing off most normies flocking to the data center resistance. this kind of thing is really activating

the city that arrested the person for clapping during a data center meeting has decided to take its town halls virtual and eliminate public comments all together

As I’ve said in the past, that whole “ok boomer” meme was because millennials have had two once in a life time recessions since they’ve entered the work force, and some boomers are STILL like “finding a job is easy! Just go in, hand them your resume, and give them a firm handshake!”

“How bad can it actually be for Gen Z and millennials? They’re a bunch of whiners.” Fun fact: Someone making $77k today with good credit (unrealistic for most ppl tho) CAN NOT qualify for a $400,000 home. { And the average home price is $420,00. } #discover #funfact #USA #lobotomytime

Today I finally reached the absolutely pathetic 9/11 Spider-Man issue. I love imagining the Kingpin of Crime going like "Driver. Get me to 9/11. I need to stand at 9/11."

renaissance painter: hey man i finished your commission for an icon of saint sebastian, its real fuckin sexy just like you asked catholic bishop: yes, this IS just as i asked. Gloria in Excelsis Deo

the funny thing is that some of my least toxic ships have been the incest ones...... like roscest is super sweet and loving. they're just also brothers who like to fuck

The SCREEN Act is not just another age-verification bill — it goes much further than anything passed at the state-level or in other countries. 1. The bill doesn't just target porn sites. It goes after *any* site that allows material "harmful" to minors. You'd have to scan your face to use Google.

grampa WILL go multiple rounds and he WILL like it

i feel like more people need to know that the “men don’t read books anymore” blogger also posted one of the vilest transphobic rants about trans boys i’ve ever read. she says that hrt for trans teen boys is worse than anorexia. as with all gateway clickbait there is something NASTY under there

i actually cannot fucking take how bleak reality is sometimes. it's remarkable i haven't simply gone catatonic at this point
