Some trans people can't grasp the idea of a trans woman transitioning because we want to be happy. I'm not here to "destroy the binary", to be "gender-fucky", or to be a revolutionary. I want to be my true self. I'm not trans to be a hero or for attention, I'm trans cause I was born that way.
this is “love the sinner, hate the sin” theology. it is very often a pretext to protect abusers and/or perpetuate abuse.

"Elon, just a couple of questions. How are you going to build and support all of the infrastructure necessary for these factories, and what in the fuck are you building on the moon that would be more economical than building on Earth, you ridiculous dipshit?"

That moment when the Steam credit from selling Steam cards hits the total for the game you've been saving for, and... "wait, *should* I spend it on the game I've been saving for?"
I’ve been screening our documentary with organizing communities in the South. So far, the organizers mention data centers first at every single event. From racial justice orgs to old school activists who don’t usually think about tech policy. This has legs.

You can go home again, the General Temporal Theory asserts, so long as you understand that home is a place where you have never been.
House prices have been growing three times faster than wages since 1999. If first home buyers are going to get a chance, we need a temporary drop in house prices. We need a public developer to build and sell homes people can actually afford. www.afr.com/property/res...
Top-end property prices hit hardest as housing slump deepens

Communications. I grew up in an era of a single wall phone, where calling family in the nearest capital city invoked “subscriber trunk dialling” and per-minute call rates.
Constantine@ajaxsinger.bsky.social · 18h agoFood, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.
According to Environment Centre NT, Inpex had been under-reporting benzene and toluene emissions from its Ichthys LNG facility by more than 13,000% between 2019 and 2024 Read that again, under-reporting the emissions of toxic gases by >13,000% between 2019 an 2024 🤯
NT Independent (unofficial)@ntindependent.bsky.social · 17h agoJapanese gas company Inpex has been charged by the NT Environmental Protection Authority over alleged under-reporting of emissions from its Ichthys LNG facility in Darwin, which an independent review found had been “systematically underestimated”.
"Pastors in Name Only" "Wicked Witch of Woke" “I've never seen anyone commit so much blasphemy against the word of God." As pastors become Democratic nominees — at least 5 so far, and likely one more tonight — their Republican opponents are attacking their faith. religionnews.com/2026/08/04/p...

Whether someone realizes it or not, accepting the "liberal bubble" framing at all is a way of granting the utterly absurd notion that the globally reviled and increasingly unpopular views of the reactionary right are the norm
Ian Boudreau@ianboudreau.com · 2d ago"Liberal bubble" has only ever meant anywhere where right wing perspectives aren't artificially elevated and forced into everyone's feeds.
Bay Area friends: would you consider opening your home to these two cuddly cats? A friend found them behind a gas station. Their sibling, a black cat, got adopted, but it appears no one likes orange cats. They are being kept in a bathroom for the time being and need a home.
derek guy@dieworkwear.bsky.social · 4w agoA friend of mine found these three kittens behind a Bay Area gas station. They are tame, vaccinated, and incredibly affectionate. Unfortunately, she's unable to keep them and I'm trying to find them a home. They are at risk of going to a shelter. Bay Area people, are you open to adopting?
Ooof, I think the 5G nanobot upgrade might have just started kicking in, because I just got hit by a wave of fatigue.

A quick rant about students using AI. The task was to write three patent claims: one broad claim to demonstrate understanding of PHOSITA, one narrowed claim accounting for prior art, and one ridiculously specific failsafe claim. Almost all submissions were AI-generated and wrong.
This is Tugboat. She was named by some drunk young ladies, when my daughter announced at a party that she was getting a kitten, who then adopted me. AKA: Sleepboot (Dutch), Tuggles, Tuggy, Lady Tugglington, Tails, Miss Claws, Puppycat, Boxcat
Stop-mo PNGtuber for @foxander.bsky.social in the style of Fantastic Mr. Fox. Foxander messaged me about the idea and it seemed so cool! He sent me drawings and screenshots for the idea I got to work, it took a bit, but I streamed most of the process and am happy with the result! #3dart #vtuber
