good reminder that before the counting is over, election results don’t tighten. at no point is anyone trailing. nobody moves closer. they’re just tabulating the polls. it’s a fixed number that just isn’t done yet. to say otherwise is bad journalism but even worse math.
Seeing a lot of folks voting today and that's great! I was able to vote early so I don't have to worry about getting it in today. 👍
I'm really glad that ESPN got rid of a talented and knowledgeable dude like Ryan Clark so they could pay a sleeveless punter more money so Aaron Rodgers could be on TV complaining about Dr. Fauci. What the absolute fuck is wrong with everyone
here's a fun lil exercise for cis people: how many articles would a publication have to print calling for your extermination before you would expect people who care about you to stop giving them money? and how would you feel if their excuse for still supporting them is some fuckass crossword puzzle?
The whole point of the Bill of Rights is to protect the only true minority - the individual. It limits the governments power to harm the individual. The whole constitution is designed to limit the governments power.
I picked up almost as much from the library as I did from school—real history, not that polished nonsense we were fed!
*wakes up* *stretches* It's a good day for Premodern MtG! #premodernmtg
How fucking bad is this headline? Ugh. It's not a threat if he pulls the nom, it's a retreat. I am also fairly sure standoffs between two parties don't escalate.
Look, friends. I know that you don't think it's much. But the NYT Puzzles app is very much propping up the NYT's ideologically driven hate campaign against trans people. You gotta let your streak go. There are so many other puzzles out there you could be playing that won't fund hate.
Games are helping the New York Times thrive amid media chaos
A new Games app is on the way.

seller of bigotry offsets and indulgences@anem0ne.net · 6d agoyou're worried about your streak ending i'm worried because thanks to the nytimes normalizing anti-trans rhetoric, i won't be able to renew my passport, be careful which states i even consider traveling to, watch as more and more "allies" who "don't hate" regurgitate bigotry and right-wing framing
Imagine taking time out of your day to be mad about trans girls and women in sports. It's so fucking dumb man
Lions coach Dan Campbell on Jahmyr Gibbs: “You guys know what I feel about Gibbs. I'll leave it at that. All the other stuff: My job is to coach who's out there right now. I love the kid... but all the other stuff… it'll get done."
We are past the need to "gotta hear both sides." No. Fuck that side. That side is wrong. Tolerating people on that side is how we repeat history. Have a fucking backbone. And maybe stand for something
The Discourse on here has been truly awful the last few weeks since the World Cup ended. We need football back ASAP
No longer content with pillaging intellectual work and dismembering our environment (already critically weakened), AI companies are now hellbent on destroying books galore including rare editions. Shut down these nefarious enterprises already.
AI labs buy, scan, shred millions of rare books
If you have retreated to physical books because the internet is too full of AI slop, bad news — now they’re shredding the books to feed their AI slop machines.

Turns out that food companies were only checking their food because the government told them to, which is exactly why we need government regulations.
I worked at Disney a while ago. Do you know why theme parks are so safe? Because OOSHA reps can walk the track on any ride at any time and any safety violation they see is a $10,000 fine. Each. Theme parks are not safe because the company cares. They're safe because it's cheaper to comply.

Cannot get over how electable just drifting away from a constituent who asked you a challenging question makes you.
"We've already shut down half of the miners" is an insane admission. It was pushing 60dB at half power.
John Rogers@johnrogers.bsky.social · last wk.You gotta watch the video for the noise. It's insane. Every time I see somebody ask "hey, why the backlash against data centers?" I'm puzzled because those people don't seem to understand data centers are *bad faith neighbors*. gizmodo.com/this-viral-d...
I am making dinner. And it's almost finished. Or as I like to call it, "the inescapable collapse."
I wish I had some profound wisdom to put into the aether tonight, but instead it's just another boring Saturday.
