Something I've noticed is that it seems like there's been a lot more diarrhea going on ever since we put a Greater Avatar of Diarrhea in charge of federal health services

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Liberals view the equal treatment of minoritized people as some benevolent favor they're doing, which they can revoke for any misbehavior. By this measure, Jennings is utterly consistent with his self-image and his actions. The quintessential liberal ally.

Ken Jennings is on a trans woman blocking spree now? Shout out to the homie @anarchymarshmallow.bsky.social for being a notable non trans woman on this list. It's like the bigot jumped out of him like a python. Obvious, we know for folks like this the bigot was always inside there.

Trans ally Ken Jennings is blocking trans women like whoa...

Luckily, writing the book is the best part of writing the book

writing the book requires writing the book.

The purpose of “rights” is to eliminate the biases of an individual. I don’t like that person. I hate that person. But with *rights* they are not subject to my worst intentions.

"It's not historically accurate" "It left out such and such from the text" "It put in such and such that wasn't in the text" "It put in some word/thing/whatever that didn't exist until later" 1. I don't care. I Do. Not. Care. 2. We all understand, do we not, that this is what myths are for, right?

My high school and college experience was pretty much watching every career path I was ever interested in get sucked dry by venture capitalists and tech industry idiots. I worry that we haven't begun to see the farthest reaching consequences of American industry's hard turn away from the arts.

If I were ten years older I absolutely would’ve pursued music journalism over film, but even 2006 high school journalist K8 unfortunately knew that was not going to be a sustainable career path. Imagine trying to launch a new rock and roll band in this landscape, where do you even GO!

I'm weirdly upset by Stevens's gracious concession, because it makes her lie from just a few days ago that AES harbors personal animus against Jewish ppl all the more transparent. We should discourage lying to inflame tensions against two targeted religious minorities for personal political gain imo

Say who won, Politico.

all my interactions with ai are miserable and nonconsensual. it is the reason my programs are running slowly, why my weather report is inaccurate, why I always get connected to the wrong department of any automated call service. I would pay a lot of money to be rid of it.

Guys like this don’t realize that they are the freak

I've said this many times: if you're thinking about learning music, now is a great time to do it. There's so much great educational material online, and the quality of entry level instruments has never been better. It's a terrible time to make a living at it, but that's a different question.

Food, 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.

not now sweetie daddy's screen-grabbing people who used Dearborn as an insult to demand they embrace party unity

what better way to show your allyship for a marginalized group than to block the people sticking up for said group

Even the people who genuinely believed it came from a lab did not take the precautions one would expect from a rational person facing a leaked bioweapon or whatever tf. So clearly they didn't even believe it, they just wanted to blame China for Bad Thing but also act like nothing was happening

Walker Bragman@walkerbragman.bsky.social · yesterday

SARS-CoV-2 did not come from a lab. There is no evidence pointing to laboratory origins. There’s been a massive disinformation campaign to convince the public otherwise. It’s scary how effective that campaign has been.

The way rich people don't even realize they're telling on themselves.

suspiciously green bananas is sadly one of the funniest things i’ve read in awhile

I'm not a huge fan of politicians as a rule, but I can't help but enjoy watching AIPAC lose key race after key race no matter how much money they spent. I hope I'm not being naive in thinking that something has shifted for the better in what people want their world to look like.

*trying to be diplomatic* Uhhh El-Sayed is leading

Just post this next time someone talks shit from Europe

If you show up to Bluesky without following anyone, you'll be treated to a series of posts about art, music, and dogs. If you show up to X without following anyone, you'll be bombarded with right-wing conspiracies and white supremacist slop. It's weird which one is seen as a "political bubble"

all the primitive caveman diet stuff is so funny because wdym cavemen never ate vegetables, what do you think the gatherer in hunter-gatherer means, are they gathering steak sauce

It is 2006. I am 22. The US is mired in a costly Forever War. A predictable historic market collapse looms. I do not have health insurance. It is 2026. I am 42. The US is mired in a costly Forever War. A predictable historic market collapse looms. I do not have health insurance.

God, this sucks. All these "AI makes writing accessible to everyone" dingbats have, in fact, made it so that writing is accessible to far fewer people. Great job.

Good on @weareravenous.com for being so thoughtful about freelance commissions, and also … man, things are bleak www.weareravenous.com/ai-freelance...

Taco Bell is the hero Bonnie Tyler held out for.

Sarah Taber@sarahtaber.bsky.social · 2d ago

I would like to propose the Taco Bell Principle When a person/institution Did A Problem, & IMMEDIATELY fesses up & takes proactive steps to solve it That's exactly what we want them to do? So how bout we let them live ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

if a muslim immigrant wrote an article stating he wanted to rape british schoolchildren (as liddle did) the press now praising liddle would be outraged. not on behalf of any potential danger to children, though, they don't care about that. they'd be outraged at the writer not knowing his place
