This is pretty fucking wild. I had assumed in a worst case scenario he would target blue zip codes and toss ballots based on technicalities but this is even worse than I imagined.

If buying isn't owning then piracy can't be theft. Any reasonable corporation knows that.
VGC@videogameschronicle.com · 3d 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...
Hi, it's me. Your idiot friend from the internet who had no idea that the snail that made that big shell could have killed me if it was home. You're not really supposed to pick them up to admire them. 🌠 #TheMoreYouKnow

If you evade suffering you also evade the chance of joy. Pleasure you may get, or pleasures, but you will not be fulfilled. You will not know what it is to come home.
But we, insofar as we have power over the world and over one another, we must learn to do what the leaf and the whale and the wind do of their own nature. We must learn to keep the balance.
Reminds me of the Sense & Sensility episode of Blackadder II: "The criminal's vanity always makes them make one tiny but fatal mistake. Theirs was to have their entire conspiracy printed and published in plain manuscript."
Stereogum@stereogum.com · 3d agoDuane “Keffe D” Davis has been convicted of the 1996 murder of Tupac Shakur. The 63-year-old former South Side Compton Crips leader was charged with orchestrating the drive-by shooting of the legendary rapper in 2023, and prosecutors leaned on his own 2019 memoir detailing his role in the killing.
My own humble snippet to Kaiju parodies: 🎶 Rodan, Rodan, Rodan, Rodaaaaaan I’m begging of you please don’t burn Japan Rodan, Rodan, Rodan, Rodaaaaaan Please don’t burn them just because you can🎶

Minnesota Reformer@minnesotareformer.com · 4d agoThis summer's food recalls are broader in scope, longer-lasting, and more severe than past years as regulators are slow to respond. The parasite surveillance staff at the CDC, which responds to outbreaks (such as cyclosporiasis), was downsized last year by DOGE from 11 people to three.

Look this is grimly amusing but I don't think functioning democracies have a masked secret police that a non-government official can dispatch on their personal enemies. It's sometimes genuinely stunning what we've gotten used to.

What Irish, Welsh and Scottish Gaelic sound like - such an interesting comparison! It reminded me of how hard it is to learn a language whose sound is unfamiliar to us. In the 80s & before internet, I tried with Romanian. Today, we can spread the sounds. ❤️ #GoodMorning, everyone

Your daily affirmation: Life is what you make it. So make a mess if you want to and wreak havoc if you have to.
