It is still nearly 100 degrees at 7 PM I hate this

Mostly non-spoilery thoughts on the new Spider-Man: the Spider-Man parts are very good, loved that they poked fun at Punisher, didn’t really like how the MCU introduced [redacted]

good morning to the radically pro-transgender only

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

Corey Ruiz’s killing is a painful reminder that state and local police have been left out of the conversation about violence and accountability.

The thing about someone ‘improperly receiving benefits’ is I don’t care. Oh no did someone get food or health care? Good!

Hey queers, where do y’all get cute swim trunks? Preferably ones without netting.

"I don't like being called cis" "I don't like being called white" "I don't like being called abled" That's because you view yourself as "normal" or "the default" and everyone else as *not*. Viewing yourself as the baseline is just another form of prejudice. It's just a more implicit type.

National security should mean everyone has housing, food, healthcare, and clean and air water.

Here’s me looking cute on the Hill for all of 10 minutes before the hellmouth opened up and melted me 🤣😭

Why do I feel like they got Trump to back permanent DST by pointing out it’s almost his initials? 🙄

Credit scores are such scams. Instead of gaining points for reducing my debt by over $20K (thanks student loan forgiveness!), I *lost* points because I have a “lower credit history” now 🙄

Dem politicians coming out of the woodwork to normalize and soften a shitty person who sacrificed us for personal power? Lessons are not being learned.

RIP Bonnie Tyler. And RIP Tandi Iman Dupree. This remains the best stage entrance by a drag queen of all time, even some 25 years later, and the best use of Tyler’s “Holding Out for a Hero” ever. youtu.be/IHQA5vqn6rw?...

Democrat Phil Weiser is the overwhelming favorite to be Colorado's next Governor. He says Colorado would be better served with a more competitive Republican party. "Competition makes us stronger," Weiser said. "It's not healthy for any state to have one party that's dominant."
