Internet muskox, queer person, economist & a bunch of other stuff. 40/any pronouns. Don't expect a cohesive brand from me. Please no begging/solicitation. I'm tired and poor as fuck.
Due to popular request... the oscilloscope can produce mind-boggling effects 2.0 (Kiwi edition)
Please please please.. we need the Kiwi
Protection orders kind of bump up against the fact that they're punitive, and that their subjects have already shown a willingness to heavily transgress social values and in many cases break the law outright. So there's not a lot of preventative value in the moment - you have to rely on deterrence.
The Law Commission of Ontario has released a new report about protection orders. Based on surveys with survivors AND professionals, they found: The vast majority of participants agreed that protection orders matter. Yet only a small minority said that protection orders are working well.
Even trying to *get* a protection order put my life at risk. The most recent femicides here in Ontario involved women being killed by men they had protection orders against. The system needs to change.

this thread has much more than "just" bugs. You must meet Ivar and his buddy Johan! 😻😻
So, @cataranea.bsky.social and I went to Guyana over the past week (ish) to attend #BugShot, in the Rupununi Savannah, at Karanambu Lodge. You wanna see some pictures of what we saw?
Three of the most unpleasant looking mutants you've ever seen in your life: You wouldn't want a doctor in charge, would you?
JD Vance: "We don't want the next administration, whoever -- god forbid you're gonna have President El-Sayed in three years ... "
Leftists are supposed to wait for a more convenient season for change. Getting the most votes in elections just shows how out of touch they are with most voters.
Leftists winning popular elections is very divisive. How are you supposed to unify a country with this sort of thing. I ask you.
not to be pop culture brained but it is kind of crazy how libfem shit is being weaponized against ppl who are like holy shit Ariana Grande is about to die. fellas is it anti-woman to express concern about the health of a woman and the high mortality rates of eating disorders
I'm also over ppl acting like eating disorders are purely about weight and nothing else. eating disorders imo should be treated like an OCD-related disorder. it is about control and anxiety. it is not body shaming to be like hey I don't want someone to die bc of their cognitive distortions

i'd have the same skills i always had. my life would only be changed by mediocre techbros not being able to shove their noses into hierarchies they don't belong in quite so easily, so new software wouldn't fuckin suck quite so badly.
i love how AIsloppers try to argue for it by saying "IF IT DISAPPEARED TOMORROW, HOW WOULD YOU MANAGE?!" as if we *had* to have been using GenAI this entire time. the only time i ever 'used' GenAI is/was non-consensually, like Google's summaries. but i scroll past it and use links like i used to.
First, you tell me to get a hobby; now it's an “appropriate hobby”.
Its embarrassing how many grown ass adults live in these fantasies where people work for some nonsense like the artificial cultures oligarchs manufacture over survival.
honestly, the fact that we have made it through the atomic age *without* another use of nuclear weapons since 1945 is a miracle we don't fully appreciate
Today is the day the story There Will Come Soft Rain is set. An amazing and heartbreaking work of fiction for our modern age. Read it here:
got a text today from an unknown number asking me if I'd seen Christopher Nolan's Odyssey and if I had any thoughts on it ... it turned out to be from a friend's new number, but for a while I really thought it was a devious new scam targeted at heterosexual men
If AI disappeared tomorrow, the only thing that would change about my work is that it would get easier and faster because I wouldn't have to waste time circumventing all the various companies attempts to railroad me into using AI.
Guys like this don’t realize that they are the freak
Got to bed on time today, without getting distracted or any screen time. Good sleep hygiene, seemingly aligned with my circadian rhythm... 900% unable to sleep
Seattle universal school lunches (which the centrists/liberals harshly opposed) will cost $2m per year. AIPAC's money alone could have fed every child in a large city for 30 years.
Stevens fans are now trying to argue that AES should be humbled by narrowly winning, and wow.
the ragnarok lobster guy deleted all his posts about how haley stevens was gonna win. that’s how cold politics is. ragnarok lobster is abandoning you before the polls even close
'You'll choke too' - an aerial embroidery landscape inspired by all the wildfires happening right now... I'm upset every time I smell smoke outside and somehow we have people starting them maliciously too! But we all breathe the same air so they'll choke too (1/2 - see thread for close-ups)
