My wife shouting from the living room: "I hope you haven't spent your entire month's salary on something unnecessary and expensive again" Me: "DON'T COME IN THE BATHROOM"

The quote is what gets me.

my insight of the day is that the first line of the star spangled banner maps perfectly onto the first line of the beethoven appassionata, creating a really cursed musical mash-up

A tool used to rephrase plagiarised text changed "final solution" to "mass killing of an ethnic group" in a chemistry paper. Now retracted thanks to a PubPeer user who spotted this. pubpeer.com/publications...

While the SCREEN Act failed in the committee, KOSA did move forward. Contact your senators immediately demanding it be opposed, and keep the pressure up until it comes to a vote in the Senate

Fight for the Future@fightforthefuture.org · 2d ago

The Senate Commerce Committee just passed KOSA out of committee with zero debate & failed to move the SCREEN Act. punchbowl.news/article/tech...

In short: AI only works if you're already sufficiently knowledgeable in that area to determine when it's giving you wrong answers.

It's time again! Cis allies: if you can, please consider being chaff for us. Toilet hobbycops think like 10% of people are trans, and to overturn our segregation we need respectable cis people causing trouble on our behalf. Please wear a trans flag pin. Get in good trouble, as John Lewis put it.

Weird Alex@jackalpants.bsky.social · last yr.

THE CHAFF PROJECT Hi! Are you cis in the UK and you'd like to support trans rights? Great! How: buy a trans flag pin and wear it in public. Why: chaff is an overwhelming amount of false positives so that when a missile gets close to the plane, it hits the chaff and not the plane.

The year is 2036, we have entered a radioactive dustbowl, the water wars are running fierce and audiences have to snail-mail me USB sticks to see the latest werewolf titty.

10. guilty fav? GUILTY fav??? *all* books are seditious, to the right moralizers; even your foundational mythologies are another's heresies. this is the hermeneutic game: give me a stance, and i will give you a text that can be cancelled over it. guilty fav. pah! are you a cop?

Reminder that they landed this by: - Braking in Mars' atmosphere from >10,000 mph to ~1000 via heat shield - Deploying a parachute to brake to 200 - Using rockets to brake to near zero - Lowering the rover itself on a tether to the surface All pre-programmed. NASA engineers are so damned good.

If you need good news today, this bill died.

Free Speech Coalition@fsc.bsky.social · 2d ago

SCREEN Act, which would have required mandatory age-verification for sites (like this) that allow "material harmful to minors" failed to pass out of committee after thousands and thousands of people called their Senators. More work ahead!

If SCREEN were to pass, you'd be required to scan your face and upload an ID to access this site because it allows "harmful" material. This affects you even if you don't care about sex work or porn.

404 Media@404media.co · 3d ago

Mike Lee's SCREEN Act, which heads to Senate Commerce Committee for markup on Wednesday, would expand age verification requirements to a nearly limitless scope of websites, and is supported by the architects of Project 2025.

got a text today from an unknown number asking me if I'd seen Christopher Nolan's Odyssey and if I had any thoughts on it ... it turned out to be from a friend's new number, but for a while I really thought it was a devious new scam targeted at heterosexual men

this man should get combat pay bc he was FIGHTING here

past week has just been me holding the middles of so many different bridges together as the segments contract and pull apart, and i am tired. let the road be swept away by the currents. let the dice be yeeted into the river. let me let go and fall in, where the water thickens like wine
