It's absolutely insane we've somehow let the Covid recriminations debate become like "why didn't we reopen in person schools before there was a vaccine" and not "why did none of the trump guys go to jail for stealing PPE from New York hospitals in March 2020"

Anyways let twitch know this idea fucking sucks

Twitch and Amazon are apparently planning to use streams to train Generative AI. Multiple sources tell me it will be announced in the coming months, despite some internal friction against it. Creators may be able to opt out of some training data.

a bunch of popular ASMR artists lost their channels forever this week, after YouTube cited them for violating terms against "sexually gratifying" content: www.404media.co/youtube-asmr...

just watched shadow take a 15 second long hit and then he just held it. got up and walked right out afterward. maybe he is the ultimate life form

You know why America sucks? Mitch McConnell is one of the most powerful people in the world & steady collecting a hefty paycheck, while he is at best unconscious, & most likely dead. Yet you out there, you have to show up to work to get paid, & you'll never be paid as much as him, or be as powerful.

Was looking for something and remembered this tweet and I think op deleted their account now so I have to share it here so it’s memorialized

Iran still blocking Strait of Hormuz. A ship trying to run the strait this weekend hit a sea mine and blew up. US still blockading Iranian shipping. Houthi-Saudi escalation disrupting Red Sea exports. Ukraine hit more Russian oil facilities. Oil prices fell and stocks rose on the news.

the thing about public libraries is that they are—or at least many of them are—the one unrestricted public space in which children are treated with something approaching full civic equality with all other people. And they sense that. Our children’s room is the liveliest space in our library. 📚

"This might be unpopular but I'd like to discriminate against an entire class of people" If this is you, I hope the next 500 books you try to read are a disappointment.

I did not take as many pictures as I would've liked to at Beach Episode, but I did document an important cultural moment for the Sailor Moon S community: the Pokemon League Draft Match between @burntsienna.butchsky.social and @bowserbrowser.bsky.social

What some refer to the "terminal lol" actually serves a very important grammatical function, a sort of copula, akin to the Japanese "desu" lol

Trump is a thief, so he happily brags about committing armed robbery from another country. The more he steals, the more he thinks he's accomplished. (Just so you know, Americans, he's happy to steal your tax money and your freedom too.)
