If you need a pickmeup, Ukraine struck and destroyed a Russian data center last night, reducing Russian bot traffic by 50%, dropping online pro-AfD discussion to zero, cratering MAGA traffic, and making Elon big mad. Just in time for the mid-terms. Slava fucking Ukraini.

A- we should not be executing anyone B- if we do it sure as shit should not be a fucking entertainment spectacle.

That's easy - money. Universal Basic Income - that would probably do it.

More war has made us less safe, increased our prices, and cost servicemembers' lives. No war with Iran.

Robots should look and sound like robots. There is no benefit to allowing AI to appear human, and companies will exploit the confusion to demand “AI rights,” further cementing their oligarchical control. www.currentaffairs.org/news/ban-lif...

You hear that? The "cool kid who was the first to fully ban pervert glasses in public spaces" title is still up for grabs, everyone!

This is a big fucking deal, and becomes more important every single passing day. Studio X and the D&D team announce their plans to join the United Wizards of the Coast Union. unitedwizardsofthecoast.com/studiox-letter

Fear of women divorcing men helped kill passage of basic income law back in the 1970s. Not only was that conclusion in error, but it turned out it improved relationships. Since then, the evidence has only deepened that the power to exit it provides leads to better relationships and far less abuse.

Does Basic Income Cause Divorce? 50 Years of Evidence Says No.

The 1970s fear that UBI breaks up families came from a statistical error. Finland, Canada, Kenya, and Alaska show no rise in divorce, and instead better relationships with less domestic violence.

"JK Rowling is already a billionaire and everyone already knows about Harry Potter, what's the point of boycotting?" Nobody thinks boycotting will bankrupt her. We know she's gonna die rich. We're just asking you to show a shred of solidarity with trans folk. Absolute low bar bare minimum shit.

I’ll ship it anywhere in the continental USA. Can you share this too? I’m broke

Sam Altman to Decoded: ‘The world should accept some bad things happening’ for the benefits of AI politi.co/4rJE8dI

Sums up my feelings. 

Let's focus on making life so livable that anyone complaining sounds like a whiny bitch "I'm sorry you're unhappy that everyone has housing and food and healthcare, that must be really hard for you"

Can we go back to holding the door for each other instead of letting it slam in the face of the person behind? Matter of fact I challenge anyone reading this to go out of their way to do something nice for someone they don’t know. Spread love.

a gentile suggestion: after a man gets outed as a rapist, if you’re not sharing solidarity with victims you should probably just *shut the fuck up* and remove yourself from the conversation

If you think an artist's style looks like AI but you can scroll back through their portfolio and see them doing the same work before 2020, congrats, you're not looking at an AI grifter. You're looking at one of the original victims whose entire style AI stole.

It shouldn't be difficult to get the money you're owed. On day 34 of our administration, we launched NYC Free Tax Prep for the 2026 filing season. So far, it’s saved New Yorkers $226.6 million. Visit nyc.gov/TaxPrep to find a Free Tax Prep site near you.

For me, the hardest thing about stories like the Cornell gang rape case isn’t reading the initial details—although that is hard. What’s even harder is when men online, especially the journalists and pundits, start trying to combat the feminist outrage by purposefully seeding doubt and victim-blaming

I know there is a hell of a lot going on right now. But not all of it is bad. Some is astonishingly good - like the results of this study from June. Cervical cancer is a terribly cruel thing. This might, at long last, be the beginning of the end of it. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
