I’m so tired today. I’m still sick which has gotten very old.
Sometimes you just need to stop and remember than in America, politicians can lend their campaign money and then pay themselves back plus an illegally high interest rate with donations they get after the campaign ended. I swear that if Americans knew how their politics worked they would be so mad.
I think we should bring jousting back but only for billionaires. Make it a prestige thing. It will stimulate local economies, suck up billionaire money, and most importantly give them something to do. It’s dangerous enough that they have to take it seriously.
The moment Trump proposed $5000 checks, democrats should have pitched $6000 when they win.
Gotta amend this one. Some of the response has show me that they know. They just think delaying the rollback of trans rights is enough.
Ord's Kangaroo Rat@ordskangaroorat.bsky.social · last wk.It’s becoming very clear that moderate democrats have no idea about the mass of anti trans laws under Biden.
Transphobes are so pathetic. How far does a human being have to call, that they can’t have a single conversation with another human being and come to an understanding. Imagine needing the government to step in to your kids after school sports team to make sure you get exactly what you want.
I’m glad someone said it.
Julia Serano@juliaserano.bsky.social · 2w ago...I had to respond to the ass-backwards notion that trans ppl are "blackmailing" Dems. it's cis Dems who are blackmailing us, insisting that we vote for trans-exclusionary Dems even though they're revoking our rights & will blame us FOR THEIR BAD DECISIONS... juliaserano.medium.com/on-democrats...
I am about ready to embark on an endless crusade to bring about a better bc healthcare system. 18 hours of being so dizzy I can’t stand has broken me.
Look. If we as a society cannot stop people from working on projects they say are going to wipe out humanity then we have failed.
I am still obsessed with this guy. I think he's the best character anyone has ever come up with. I know it's tall order, but I do think the entire comic should be reoriented around him. I just want to see him turning various small objects into animals.
Ord's Kangaroo Rat@ordskangaroorat.bsky.social · 2w agoHunter x hunter got dropped some new chapters so I got all excited about it again. It the best super powers of all time. There’s a guy who can turn small objects into animals and it’s amazing. Here he is turning guns into snakes.
I know one thing for sure. AI companies are not going to slow down production because of the danger to humanity. No fucking way.
Long time no see bluesky, I’m getting ffs like next week (09/22) and if you have a few extra dollars to throw my to help me offset costs i’d appreciate it.
Grugcel@grug.bsky.social · 9mo agoI don’t use this platform that often, but I figure that I would plug this here because people are more sympathetic to trans people. Anything helps, thank you. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. www.gofundme.com/f/help-paige...
I find it very hard to get angry at anyone who doesn't vote for a candidate or a party that doesn't want their vote.
AI folks are not ready for the implications of the things they say, and they are lucky nobody takes them seriously.

Mutual Aid Void (ON BREAK)@mutualaidvoid.bsky.social · last mo.For @freakingangel.bsky.social who needs a min of about $100 a day for just housing, food will be needed as well. New shoes, a tent, and food items can be found via the throne link! 💕💸 C: $freakingbabygirl *$app is fastest! throne.com/freakingangel
A good way to judge policy is whether the people making the policy are willing to submit themselves to it.
I'm thinking about Hunter X Hunter. There's a reoccurring dynamic, between a serious and cautious character and a fun and reckless character. The fun character is reliably stronger. They prove themselves stronger by taking risks that the more cautious character wouldn't.
Speaking of Harry Potter, I resigned from my position at Universal Studios a month ago over all of the Wizarding World/JKR shit. I am now paying my bills and paying for a wedding purely thru YouTube and Patreon. I loved working at USH. I was very conflicted leaving. Fuck Joanne.

it's not an exaggeration to say that jk rowling is the world's most powerful and prominent transphobe outside of elon musk it's easy to not buy a tesla and it's easy to not watch the harry potter tv show
The Verge@theverge.com · 4w agoAs a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.
If buying isn't owning then piracy can't be theft. Any reasonable corporation knows that.
VGC@videogameschronicle.com · 4w agoSony says "reasonable consumers" know they don’t own the digital PlayStation games they buy. It argues that it's "not plausible" to suggest that when they buy a digital game they actually believe they're "obtaining ownership" of it. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/sony-sa...
It's really weird that Trump is acting like America is his name. He wants to put it on everything.
If any billionaires addicted to social media are watching. Dolly Parton is about as universally beloved as human beings can be. So maybe do the same stuff she did, and then people will like you.
I've just been informed by a podcast ad that online gambling has come to Alberta in a big way. I can't believe I didn't see anyone writing about this.
All this debating about free speech and exactly where we should draw the line when it comes to academic frauds who engage pseudoscience is exactly what fascism wants. We know how university debates about free speech with bad actors goes, and we shouldn't play into it.
Evolutionary psychology should be focused on animals.
I'm still thinking about this arms factory that doesn't make shells, but does have on fire robots. It's so funny that Doge missed this. Someone should ask Elon about it.
I’m still thinking about how I ran into an aI stan on here the other day. This guy wanted me to overturn the laws of physics and price the existence of the soul to debunk the idea that computers will not become people.
