EA getting acquired by an uncaring, uninterested, wildly stupid outside entity that will inevitably run it ragged, make it produce garbage on impossible timelines, then strip the copper from the walls and shut it down when it doesn’t pay out fast enough is. Well. What more can I say

i’m never gonna be able to fire a cruise missile yet the question of using my tax dollars for them has never been up for debate

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

If we care about disability justice, one of the lowest-hanging fruits is masks in healthcare. It remains unacceptable that vulnerable patients must ask, sometimes beg, healthcare workers to mask, while also explaining to them why respirator masks are better

i hope many transgender things happen to you this year

this boils down to "the pandemic didn't actually happen but they still closed the applebees" which frankly i think is a trauma response by a lot of people that buy it - lot easier to be in denial that things were that bad instead of reckoning with 1.3m dead people [in this country]

Gabriel Bosslet@gbosslet.bsky.social · 3d ago

RFK Jr said these words today on national television "There were ICUs that were empty all over the country including in New York at the height (of the pandemic)" hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha You are a fucking idiot hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha <sobs silently>

They were in power, and their mismanagement is a major part of why it wasn't safe to leave home. And now they're trying to rewrite history while distracting from their current mismanagement.

Peter@notalawyer.bsky.social · 3d ago

it’s pretty obvious that a lot of people remember that COVID lockdowns were unpleasant and from there just extrapolate that they were therefore bad policy

The WNBA has never had a trans woman play in the league’s 30-year history and now the right and other anti-trans activists are hammering the league over something that has never been an issue, proving once again it isn’t about protection but exhibiting cruelty toward trans people.

It’s absolutely terrifying to watch a country that ten years ago was ranked the strongest country in Europe on trans rights, just turn around and decide to eliminate trans rights entirely. It’s not even like there was a huge party shift. Nothing else happened.

Noah Berlatsky@nberlat.bsky.social · 4d ago

among other things, Toby has pointed out that he could not print his discussions of trans rights in the UK. no one would publish it.

im in the pussy like [TRASH CAN KNOCKS OVER] [SCOOBY DOO RUNNING NOISE] [CAT SCREECH] [TRAIN HORN] [SLIDE WHISTLE]

that's cool. remember when you helped pile onto a transphobic brigade I faced for a mild comment against a NYT journalist, which in turn led to revenge porn of me being leaked? was a huge fan of yours for over 20 years, was 7 years old when I saw your original jeopardy run. often wrote about it too

Ken Jennings@kenjennings.bsky.social · 6d ago

My wife and I have a game where we try to invent the day’s grossest-sounding word on NYT Spelling Bee.

“I can’t be transphobic, I have trans friends!” Lol

Ken Jennings@kenjennings.bsky.social · 6d ago

This may be true of others but I actually got express permission from the trans community to keep NYT games and recipes. I also have a news subscription, which is arguably worse, so I had to specifically send in a written request. Took 30 days but I got approved.

At my day job people occasionally give me papers to edit that have been written with copilot. Not only can I tell immediately because of the damn Linkedin Manual of Style syntax and repetitive flow, it takes me 5x as long to edit as when the poor writing is of 100% human origin

post malone ergo propter malone@proptermalone.bsky.social · 6d ago

cannot overstate how much of people being put off of AI is specifically copilot’s fault

I've been seeing a lot of people responding to this with "there ought to be a law," but importantly, we haven't needed a law for this sort of thing because no prior president wanted to be known as a leader who would literally kill people in their hour of need for not voting for him

Seth Masket@smotus.bsky.social · 7d ago

This is honestly one of the most shocking images coming out of this administration and that’s saying something

LMFAO

I don’t want to be too sensationalist about this but also I’m the least violent person in the world and I think if someone said this to my face I’d hit them

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.

REAL HERO SHIT: HARDER THAN IT LOOKS is out today!!!!! 👹🗡️ Happy birthday to my biggest, baddest book yet. I am so immensely proud of how this turned out, it was a massive labor of love that has been a very long time coming. ❤️

*whispers* you know we can do this cultural debate about art thing all the time, right? Websites and news organizations used to have culture critics on staff whose entire job was writing about books, movies, and TV. People read them and then discussed them. We have the technology to do this again.

A rare perfect match of product and spokesperson

This deal won’t make your bank account go down, down in an earlier round

To get casual fans caught up, the new Avengers movie should start with all the characters doing a rap where they say who they are and what their deal is

I need a lawyer. I was being forcefully detransitioned and had my estradiol discontinued after during my stay at a hospital in Georgia with them knowing I was a trans woman. If anyone knows any please let me know or message me.
