i got good news about my next surgery still being able to happen the next town over from me! i do, however, have to fly out of state for the last surgery
a classic pet peeve of mine is people calling a single die a “dice.” somehow! through the magic of the internet! i have a new pet peeve! which is people referring to multiple dice as “die”! how?? how is every time i see posts about this item using the wrong term!!
been realizing lately that i’m at an age where gray hair is sexy to me
i cant schedule december surgery because my prior authorization expires by then and the clinic said they didn’t get reimbursed properly from my insurance company through this trial run of continuity of care stuff
We should treat Gambling App Execs the same way we treat ICE Agents in 2029. Abolition is the moderate position - Strong Accountability for All!

halloween party this year is gonna be ON halloween and is gonna be a fund raiser for me to have enough money to pay my bills while out past my pto for my last stage of surgery, so i am going a bit all out
PSA: It's even worse. Craig not only operated a revenge porn website, but he also was engaging in racketeering by secretly running several shell companies that offered a paid service that would remove your revenge porn *from the revenge porn distro sites he owned*.
Charles Politics (6’5”)@iamtherog.com · last mo.Does everyone here know that @craigbrittain.com, who is currently masquerading as an anti-MAGA warrior, was fined in 2016 for operating a revenge porn website? A *lot* of y’all follow him. ⚠️ Marked as unsafe. ⚠️ www.ftc.gov/news-events/...

i’m going in to work in person tomorrow!! for a full day! first time since surgery in early June! i laid out my clothes, however…. there is only one pair of pants that fits and is loose enough in the gusset ti be work appropriate right now
instagram keeps feeding me ariana grande discourse about her body. i don’t really care much about ariana grande as a celebrity. she seems nice enough. don’t want to watch her die from a distance, though
i am trying to start decorating for my halloween party this year so i have something to look forward to. because, again, i am doing… badly!
couldn’t sleep last night and only got 15 minute intervals of half sleep while i played video games. so of course, at my bed time, i finally feel alert for the first time all day.
My friend Smash is an incredibly talented & skilled artist, and like many people in game dev, is out of work. If you’ve got an RPG character that you need art of, you need game assets, need a sick comic cover, they can do it all!
Smash Lee RCCC J52@smash.bsky.social · last mo.COMMISSIONS! Half body character commissions available. Happy to take on OCs, fanart, anything DnD, furries, etc. Please send a DM if interested!
dressing change today revealed that the area of my penis that took the most damage also seems to have rejected the skin graft. i am really fucking upset
In an era of a fascist takeover, unlimited corruption, death squads waging war on American cities, aggressive wars of choice, endless war crimes, a child sex ring involving the president, etc, centrists are finally taking action: to attack the left. The only centrist goal is to suppress the left.
Adam H Johnson@ahjohnson.bsky.social · last mo.Centrists in Congress (anonymously) threatening to leave this Democratic Party. James Carville calling for a schism. Top Dems refusing to endorse Dem primary winners. Pouty (also anonymous) pro-Israel donors in MI calling for a donor strike—I wrote about the emerging centrist Uncommitted Movement.
one of the hardest thing about being eternally in recovery is that it’s made me so fucking boring. i mean, i think age and exhaustion were already doing that. but ive been short term disabled because of surgery stuff for a while, so i’m not doing much of anything.
i still just really feel like AI stuff is basically illegal. like I don't think a good faith interpretation of "fair use" entails vacuuming up everyone's intellectual property to build your chat bot. that sounds wrong to me
if i put a regular yogurt cup in the freezer does it become frozen yogurt?
Would assume everyone knows it by now, but just in case "First the traitors, then the invaders" is an explicit reference to The Turner Diaries, where a white supremacist revolution overruns "The System" and kills all their enemy during the evocatively named "Day of the Rope".

Sunder Katwala (sundersays)@sundersays.bsky.social · 2mo agoX owner Elon Musk indicates he would prioritise political violence (assassination of pro-migration politicians is the common sense meaning) over violence against "invaders" (refugees, asylum seekers, maybe ethnic minorities generally) while endorsing call for violence (killing) against both groups
being a billionaire and on the internet all day is crazy to me. if i had even five million dollars, you would not find me online whatsoever.
its really ramped up in the last week with a lot of influencers parroting the same “she’s growing on me!” language, its been very blatant but probably impacting the election for those less tuned in
Ben Collins@bencollins.bsky.social · last mo.A dark money campaign is offering influencers $1,500 per post to attack Abdul El-Sayed and support Haley Stevens. Same exact dollar figure that was paid to attack @katmabu.bsky.social (Nobody ever found out who was paying for that campaign.) Gross, lazy and above all cynical shit.
i might need to make a go fund me because this month has been stupid expensive and i think i’m just…. short.
it does actually sound like taylor farms and the white house teamed up to try and blame taco bell for the outbreak. unprecedented corruption
Jessica Nix@jessicanix.bsky.social · last mo.NEW: As cyclosporiasis cases jumped, the company linked to the outbreak - Taylor Farms - effectively delayed a recall that mounted in consumer confusion. Gift link for @business www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
