This is the exact same kind of pettiness as my rage at that one video game having the wrong squirrels.

You can/should read Emily Wilson's latest take on the Odyssey, but I'm logging on to convey my hairdresser's reaction. She was AGHAST that Nolan, with his million $ budget, gave Matt Damon ONLY 6 hair extensions. As a result, his hair did not blow around properly, & that ruined the film for her.

Love having the kind of past where the exchange "I'm trying to find the right apology" "there's nothing to apologize for" just leaves me more fucked up.

if establishment candidates want to start winning primaries again all you have to do is say that rich people have too much money and that youll prosecute trump admin staffers and republicans that have broken the law

The euphemism "Violence Dispensery" for gun store is gonna stick with me for a while.

It’s tiring hearing over & over that clinicians, scientists, & public health professionals MUST spend time with MAHA & MUST find common cause & learn from them To quote Mark Crislip, MD: “If you mix cow pie with apple pie, it does not make the cow pie taste better; it makes the apple pie worse”

Taking my time to really listen and learn from the very valid concerns of the MAHA movement:

Saw a post saying "I don't want NSFW accounts to talk about voting, just let me jack off" Buddy, NSFW artists and sex workers are being constantly attacked by a government of nonces trying to distract from their own crimes by pinning the blame on porn. They have the right to speak up about this.

I love Yang's cattiness about the Cat-C4.

Trying to decide if I want to keep the arms on this chair or not. Damn things are starting to disintegrate already, so I have some more leather work in my future if I keep them...

Both in an "every day they're annoying as hell" way and a "breaking the back of Trump's insurrectionist base" way.

I would like somebody to run on destroying car dealers.

It's still an absolute delight every time I see one of the goofy new mail trucks.

you’re laughing. i’ve never been fed in my entire life and you’re laughing

Fences. They be weird. Games and real life, there's a local park in my area with what looks like a weathered wood fence. Except it's not wood, it's concrete, cast with wood-like surface texture.

It's the choice of music for that segment that broke me.

Oh my god I think I found the video.

They'll consider anything except doing something about the abusive, security risk ads. Like, when my ad blocker isn't a load-bearing component of keeping my own computer safe from the digital equivalent of RFK Jr, maybe I can consider turning it off for you.

"it looks like you're using an adblocker to visit our site." yep! ha ha! it rocks!

Welcome to the CAMBRIAN FECAL REVOLUTION. We didn't name it the Cambrian fecal explosion for obvious reasons. I'm happy to share this paper on fecal matter and its role in Cambrian ecosystems. So if you want to read a really shitty paper (50 days free access): authors.elsevier.com/a/1nYg8cZ3X7...

I've told this story before and I suppose now it's time to do it again. When I was in 9th grade, my English teacher was the elderly sort of man who always wore a gray flannel suit and had a cigarette before class and a cigarette at the end of class every period.

It seems like assigned reading, especially summer reading, should include titles from different genres, with different tones, from different eras. (And as a former sulky Anne Rice-reading teen, I advocate for some over-the-top moodiness in the mix with realistic problem fiction and happier tales.)

I'll bet he doesn't wash his hands after taking these legendary shits either.

Oh my god the dietician who is telling everyone in the White House to only eat steak and sauerkraut doesn't wipe his ass.

Another instance of trans people being right and transphobes being wrong.

Transphobes Can't Read@lordaslan.bsky.social · yesterday

wow really

"The US government will be a bunch of abusive dicks about it" is not a reason to avoid doing the right thing. As an American, it's a reason to do everything you can to reform the government.

I genuinely want more jank. Games where the density of systems interactions causes explosions.

A Doorway To Somewhere Else@lem.eurosky.social · yesterday

I really like janky games, I feel like it's a sign of ideas and systems that burst at the seams, the numbers themselves failing to contain it all. In other news, I'm patiently watching an enemy turret tear chunks out of a unit that'd normally insta-kill me if so much as touches me. Hah!

Black Ice explores how hostile systems radicalize people. You start hacking to get healthcare for your neighbor's 5-year old who was denied because cost of treatment exceeds her "lifetime earning potential". As you dig deeper, you keep finding more injustices. store.steampowered.com/app/311800/B...

Yay, shipping notification for my present to myself!

Getting round to adding a word to my mute list because I'm sick and tired of being forced to learn things about that fucking guy.

by the way if you want to see an example of a country whose political system is actually premised on hatred of another country for no reason you should look at the US and the treatment of cuba. generations of broad bipartisan support for irrational aggression towards a country and its people.

obviously this is islamophobia, but it's also the liberal framing of american empire as always being reactive. none of our actions ever have consequences and no one ever has valid historical reasons to be hostile towards america

It's not as if America brought down Iran's democratically elected government in 1953 and installed an unpopular and repressive monarchy because the alternative was paying a fair price for oil. (Sarcasm, because that's exactly what happened.)

And I repeat: Even the *perception* that a company is flirting with "AI" can cause immense reputational damage. While the damage might not show immediately, the instant the bubble pops, customers will absolutely remember. And leave, the moment they can.

"saudi arabia owns EA" is going to be the headline you see basically everywhere for this one but "jared kushner is about to use EA as a vehicle for trump administration bribes" is equally relevant imo
