Honey I Shrunk the Kids for Tax Purposes Throw Mama from the Train for Tax Purposes

We absolutely should be horrified by reports of planned public executions and see them as an overt re-embrace of spectacle lynchings--while also understanding that the story of the "modern" death penalty in this country is inextricable from that history, rooted in racial violence & white supremacy.
Alabama’s Lynching Memorial and the Legacy of Racial Terror in the South
At the National Memorial for Peace and Justice in Montgomery, Alabama, the historical link between lynching and the death penalty is hard to miss.

The live firing squad announcement just confirms that the Republican vision of governance is a spectacle of torment.
PSA for the underappreciated: 4 pairs of shoes for a 3-day trip is perfectly reasonable.
I‘m an expert* and this is absolutely Queen behavior. * - I went to a Ren Faire last weekend and also I’m gay and vicious.

When I visited Salt Lake City in the 2000s, I had never before seen such a high number of homeless youth.
David Roberts@volts.wtf · 2w agoHoly shit.
He's an asshole, but he has inadvertently shown how stigma interacts with power. "Pro-choice" and "safe, legal, and rare" were all rhetorical evasions that preserved the stigma of abortion. This is why queer people spent a lot of time focusing on coming out and outing.
Gillian Branstetter@gbbranstetter.bsky.social · 2w agoOh
People are also conflating "the internet" with "social media." The internet was email, irc, usenet, web sites, and other open protocols. "Social media" is a bunch of digital Skinner Boxes created by advertising companies. You used to click on a website, giggle at the jokes, and move on with life.
shauna@goldengateblond.bsky.social · 2w agoi especially love all the dopes saying “when the internet first went mainstream everyone hated it too” like it happened in the pioneer days so no one can dispute it, like mf’ers we were THERE
Ok there is some olfactory/hygiene cosplay going on at ye olde ren faire.
It’s a BEAUTIFUL day at the Michigan Renaissance Festival. I haven‘t been here in aeons and it has come a long way. First up, sampling the Queen’s Nuts.
If there is someone at your workplace who sends out info about tips and tricks, finds free training, answers questions, or otherwise puts people on game, you should thank them sometimes. People often hoard information that may give them an advantage.
I just looked at the NYT website for the first time in a while and omg what did they do to their design?! 🫥 The typographical contrast of headlines and slugs is so weak and all | these | lines | everywhere. Maybe it looks weird because all the ads are blocked, but it just has no heft anymore. 👎🏾
This is critical life advice that will reduce so much conflict and anxiety. Your waffles are valid. Relax.
Tressie McMillan Cottom@tressiemcphd.bsky.social · 3w agoIf you need a stranger to validate your choices in every statement then just assume you have it! No need to follow up or show your homework to the teacher. You are pre-validated, all the time!
Anyway, I’m done doom scrolling through all the misogynoir. I am going to go kill demons with Law Roach, my bad bitch Warlock.
This would go crazy at a Pathology convention buffet
Z. BoogeyMann Zilla, Semi-Pro Ghoulball@pandangit.com · 3w agoIf I had one of these I would use it as a charcuterie board. Just serve little slices of meat & cheese on various layers. Although I could see the case for putting chess pieces on several of the slices to do like a surreal "Kirk & Spock play 3D chess" thing.
This. When “frontier” started getting deployed in context of AI, I thought “Were there no humanities majors in the room?” Maybe some marketing team thought it romantically evoked pushing boundaries/space exploration. But it also connotes lawlessness, exploitation of people and resources, even death.
Tressie McMillan Cottom@tressiemcphd.bsky.social · 3w agoAlso, all this “frontier AI” nomenclature is so laughably colonialist that it has to be on purpose. 🙄
Folks seem real comfortable calling a Black woman professor stupid when what she says doesn’t validate their priors. It’s particularly rich in this case since the respondent seems to confuse denotation and connotation. Anyway, this was an easy block. I hope they work on themselves.
How is this not the crisis instead of "male loneliness"?
Manny Voices@itsdrlittle.bsky.social · 3w ago11 teenagers were shot in my hometown last night. Rough.
Watched "Raised by Wolves" after hearing about it and...WTF...This show is GOODT. How did 1) I never hear about it and 2) it get canceled? Every episode is better than the last.
lmao. Also the phrasing was confusing at first because I think of myself as 99th percentile left, but if 99% of people of every party ID are to my right, then I guess I have to be 1st percentile. Years of standardized testing make this feel weird/wrong 😭.
Olúfẹ́mi O. Táíwò@olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social · 3w agolike 20% of this test is explicitly asking the respondent their Thoughts about the Blacks. whoever designed it did their homework
This is the kinda stuff the Aeldari were doing before the birth of Slaanesh.

Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal and his government has committed genocide in Gaza. The United States should stop all military assistance to Israel. Saying this is not antisemitic. (I’m Jewish, by the way.)
Ok, which Greek god did he piss off, because this is 🤌🏾. He destroyed his reputation and alienated every musician on his tour to avoid cancellation at this stadium. Now it's canceled anyway because of weather. This is what Tracy Chapman meant by "all that you have is your soul."
