the punishment for fucking up and not having at least 12 was Very Serious (and it had to be!), it deserves to be added bread crimes used to be So Fucking Bad and I'm not looking forward to returning to those times

“No, we stole that term from you Black folk. And now it’s ours, because we use it. We use it to mean that the concerns and perspectives of you Black folk are annoying or wrong or dangerous, as a way of ignoring and dismissing those concerns and perspectives. Like I’m doing now—does that make sense?”

this is a pretty wild exchange with someone seemingly in a moderator position

One of the aspects of “Sinners” I enjoy most is the sense of love between the characters. Romantic, platonic, familial, new… it resonates between the characters so strongly. Even when warped by vampirism it rings true. Great writing, direction, and performances really sells the love amongst them.

I think what I find really depressing about AI in higher education is how so many people didn't even wait for the evidence/research before we decided on telling students "how to use AI responsibly" which often includes things like checking grammar, and obviously, we shouldn't have been

my 5yo said she was making a sign for her fort and I was expecting like "no boys allowed" or whatever, but in fact it said:

"We're just going to use the official naming database for each country without making judgement calls on whether they named it right" is a perfectly defensible policy, despite the obvious downside when a particular country decides to ONLY make wrong decisions for a while

Olivia Rodrigo’s Daisy Chain Fields concert raising $20m for abortion care nonprofits (among others) while putting on an absolute banger of a show should be getting more play than it is in the millennial retirement home that is Bluesky

Monstrously evil. Abolish ICE. Melt down its weapons and sell off all of its assets. Release everyone from its concentration camps and grant citizenship (if they want it) to everyone whose rights it has violated.

“I don’t want to be in this place I want to go to my school.” - 7 year old imprisoned by ICE for 70 days in a concentration camp in Texas. Today, after @propublica.org published this story, the camp was raided to confiscate letters from the children. www.propublica.org/article/ice-...

Farscape-posting: I’ve officially gotten to the part of the show where the opening narration should just be “honestly if this is your first episode just change the channel bc you will NOT understand a single thing that’s happening”

There’s a reason why those Freedom Fuel gas stations that Trump has been shilling is selling gasoline so cheaply, according to a new lawsuit: The gasoline was stolen. www.politico.com/news/2026/08...

Lawsuit alleges Freedom Fuel gas stations touted by Trump are selling stolen fuel

The stations around Philadelphia and New Jersey had raised questions about how they were able to undercut rival retailers.

If this turns out to be true — and given the specificity, it certainly has the ring of truth — it will go down as a Trumpier deal than even his steaks, watches or university

hey just making sure everyone knows tom hardy put out a rap album where he does the “"now is the winter of our discontent” monologue from richard III in the bane voice on one of the tracks. okay have a good weekend

@tkingfisher.com is just killing me with this book. I love Dogviolet. I love Big Frances. I love Sweetness. I love Edmund and The Dervish. This is *such* a delicious read. (Specifically it is also a delicious audiobook performance.)

I feel like we've lost the cultural archetype of guys like Captain Kirk and James Bond whose whole deal was always showing a lady a good time. men took the wrong lessons from them. what made them cool isn't just fucking a lot, that all those women would have been enthusiastic repeat customers

NHS cancelling surgeries for adults even after they’ve already paid for travel + accommodation and waited years to get there. Some were about to be wheeled into theatre! Every manager responsible for this decision must be sacked and every patient paid compensation.

QueerAF@wearequeeraf.com · 5d ago

🚨🆕 @wearequeeraf.com and @whatthetrans.com can reveal that the NHS has cancelled all gender-affirming surgeries for adult patients of the Welsh Gender Service Some trans patients received the news just days or even hours before they were due to take place 👇 www.wearequeeraf.com/nhs-cancels-...

Honestly, this book is an unalloyed delight.

It is important to remember that if this Sailor had committed a war crime, Hegseth would be giving him a medal & ensuring he was NOT prosecuted.

Pete Hegseth will punish any sailor who tries to kill himself because it’s wimpy and makes the warfighters look sissy.

It's been such an awful couple of years. Let's honor one of the best people on the planet.

This is the letter kids got at the end of Dolly’s Imagination Library. I defy you to read this and not cry.

and one person choosing to demonstrate what the world COULD look like is such a scorching reproach to all the people in the world with more money even than Dolly earnestly trying to convince us that we are gullible rubes for expecting better

Dear Algorithm, …I mean, yeah. Idk who this twink is, but you’re not wrong about me. Dammit.

severe-looking middle-aged women, thank you for understanding who loves you

one of the major issues with Trump in particular is that his entire worldview is rape. he wants to conquer our allies not in spite of their being allies but because they are allies. he wants to ruin and spite them because they propose that there is mutual exchange, which means they are weak.

Isaiah Bishop@isaiahbishop.bsky.social · last wk.

This is true, but also america has allies because it treats its allies well

I think the issue here is that the thing people want it for is instant gratification. Knowing someone who now has her own AI server, the main thing they want is just... A toy. There's all these arguments about making art, but they just want Computer from Stars Trek
