Before you say positive things about DHH because of Omarchy, a reminder that it's been like 3 weeks since he published a blog that compares Roma people to the wolves Denmark eradicated in the 1800s. He's an open, virulent racist and always has been. Everything he touches should be radioactive.
LENA, THE CRYPTOZOOLOGIST'S WIFE - A defeat, I'm afraid. The people of this archipelago tried to build something new, something *different*. The rest of the world didn't like it, so they came and ended it. This was forty two years ago.
average genAI fan is actually a sick bastard that doesn't understand the concept of consent and is in fact very excited by violating other people's boundaries. Possibly in many ways. Not the kind of people I want to associate with.
sometimes people stream games and they're consistently mean or dismissive towards passive/friendly critters and npcs and it's so weird to me. you're playing pretend and you don't have even the slightest inkling to pretend to be nice to anything?
Martin Sostre died 11 years ago today. Rest in power.
Are you... are you part of the *homo-sexual underground*?
David Hankie Handymeyer is a radiactively toxic asset to any organization he's associated with tbh. That his current associations have not already cut ties with someone literally spewing overt actual Nazi propaganda speaks volumes of his associates more than anything else. Like Framework, Rails etc
Video game fact! Though there are hundreds of video games of many genres and styles, there are only three possible “sizes” a video game can come in. Those sizes are: “Small” (16.00 MB) “Medium” (374.26 MB) “Large” (154.44 GB)
reminder that age verification is a "yes" or "no" box that can be ticked in response to the question "are you at least 18 years old". anything else is surveillance
A lot of the people posting terrible takes about sexual violence victims know they’re wrong. It is an expression of solidarity with perpetrators, who tend to occupy higher positions of power, versus victims, who tend to be disempowered. Sometimes it is because they are perpetrators, too.
I honestly consider any cis man that supports "gender critical" or "anti prostitution" feminist talking points to be an active risk to be around. IMO they want acceptable targets of their misogyny while, as Sarah said, having the cover of being chummy with a wing of the feminist movement.
Sarah Clarke - Not your doll@damselindystopia.bsky.social · 2mo agoIt's not a coincidence that so many creepy misogynyists like Nick Cohen are all in on supporting the gender critical movement. Making trans women the sin eaters for patriarchal violence is a good way to dodge accountability for the bulk of such violence, which comes from cis het men.
Happy 4th of July! Here's an unrelated image!
I'm reminded of the number of times in graduate school and during my early career where I heard supposedly rigorous scholars dismiss work on racism as too radical or unserious. “Things have changed” they assured me.
Victor Ray@victorerikray.bsky.social · 4mo agoI'll just note that critical race theory predicts quite a lot about the current racial retrenchment and for being *correct* it was pilloried in the press and by some academics.
We smokin that Dinosaur Planet bronto leaf. Them Titanian tongue twisters. Slim wanted beef with me, added his sorry ass to General Pepper's invoice. My shooter a frog with autism. My bitch got blue fur and pronouns. This shit ain't nothin to me, man.

trying to play peekaboo with my child but he's a European diplomat: me: where'd daddy go? baby: we must articulate a post-daddy vision of strategic autonomy me: peekaboo! baby: my historic relationship with my father is stable despite recent troubles
when we mourn le guin, we mourn one of our greatest writers & thinkers. but we also mourn one of our all-time greatest haters
My favorite Sam Neil fact will always be that he designed a future Australian flag that replaces the union jack with the aboriginal flag for Event Horizon and insisted the film use it.
the simple question to ask is this: at what point—at what number of injustices, concentration camps, bodies—does morality objectively turn in favor of guys like this and their chosen course of action versus people who still believe in democratic exchange of power through institutions
Elizabeth Spiers@espiers.bsky.social · 4mo agoIt has the same vibe as Mangione’s: no one else is doing anything, and someone has to. He has well thought out moral underpinnings for why he’s doing it even if his conclusion about *what* he must do is wrong.
I went to have cocktails to celebrate the giant meat grinder but then someone turned on the giant meat grinder and it was really loud and scary. and you're laughing
LET ME PLUG MY COMPUTER IN!!!!!!!!! LET ME!!!! FUCK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - dashare.zone ADMIN FUCK YOU!!!!!!!!!!! IM RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
0.000% of Communism has been built. Evil child-murdering billionaires still rule the world with a shit-eating grin. All he has managed to do is make himself *sad*. He is starting to suspect Kras Mazov *fucked him over* personally with his socio-economic theory.
I just see no reason to believe claims that autonomous cars can address or reduce congestion. The mechanisms people cite for that are "better routes" (this is just magical thinking) and "more shared vehicles" (how popular was uberpool in your city?)
unironically a beautiful and effective way to keep grifters out. if you get filtered by an anime catgirl popping up for 2 seconds because it's too cringe and gay for you was your heart really in the systems programming?
![From Wikipedia:
The purpose of a system is what it does (POSIWID) is a heuristic in systems thinking coined by the British management consultant Stafford Beer,[1] who stated that there is "no point in claiming that the purpose of a system is to do what it constantly fails to do".[2] It is used in systems theory, and is generally invoked to counter the notion that the purpose of a system can or should be read from the intentions of those who design, operate, or promote it. When a system's side effects or unintended consequences reveal that its behaviour is poorly understood, then the POSIWID perspective can balance political understandings of system behaviour with a more straightforwardly descriptive view.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:xa4eltdd2z3scndtv4yvb65p/bafkreiem4i55e3gqp6endhcbz2voh2vgqd4y5xdo7bd5qgkrvnz745riby)
