my five year old and her little sister are sleeping in the same room for the first time ever on vacation. just walked in there and the little one was making fart noises while her sister threw up her arms in exasperation. it’s probably not good for their sleep schedules but it is extremely funny

I said I was here for a good time not a long time but the universe didn't listen
sometimes there is absolutely nothing more fun than understanding works of art through people's varied professional perspectives
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.
Ever think about how the bar for “crazy online trannies” is like being noisy about our mistreatment and having vulnerable crash outs about our struggles, but cis people are out here doing like whatever the fuck lookmaxxing is and that’s apparently at the very least equivalent?
BrooklynVegan, Alt Press, et al being unceremoniously shut down by a company owned by the guys from Good Charlotte that’s also owned by Live Nation is a plot that would happen in a direct to video sequel to Richie Rich.
microsoft funds genocide, fills their dev pipelines with ai slop and throws all the people who actually make the video games into the street. i cannot imagine, even if you are politically sheltered and just want your treats, ever buying and supporting an xbox game. theres no future here
if you're reading all these articles as they come out and assuming the story is "these models are escaping containment and causing danger" and not "this is a PR campaign by companies desperate to build hype" I think you are very silly.
It keeps happening... It'd be great if these companies could spend a little bit more time on network security and a little less time vibe coding.
sometimes i'll talk to a cis person and they'll say something like "yeah most trans people are normal like you but sometimes online i see weird ones who-" and i have to stop them and explain that i, too, am one of the weird ones from online
BTW ken jennings? Mormon. 10% of any money he gets goes straight into the pocket of the mormon church!! same as brandon sanderson, orson scott card, etc. He has no issues giving money to the NYT because he's already giving way more to the MORMON CHURCH, a deeply genocidal and bigoted church

the Wikipedia entry for axolotls reads like a Cake song
opened threads. saw this. closed threads. perfect app
a reason that Stevens lost and other AIPAC candidates are losing despite the huge infusions of money is that Dem voters don't want to vote for a candidate who is funded by the same org who will immediately turn around and fund the Republicans
AIPAC: "Our members remain determined to ensure that voters reject Dr. El-Sayed and his radical anti-Israel agenda in November."
I identify with this image more then anything on earth
“the jewish immigrant communists are trying to undermine america with race mixing!” became “the muslim immigrant socialists are trying to undermine america with transgenderism!” so gradually that its almost like its aways been the same bullshit
the thing about journalists with bad opinions is they already have a place to put those opinions so you extra specially don't have to listen to or amplify them here
I feel like it might have been a bad idea to hand the world over to sociopaths
Somehow things that would have been a background gag in a Verhoeven movie are now just real
nothing better than a tourist town that resents the tourists. thank you for coming to my ten-seat microbrewery and vintage ice cream shoppe. you son of a bitch
I’ve volunteered at food pantries and you sometimes get people upset to see someone in a nice car using a food pantry and I need to completely assure you that the person with the nice car actually is in need of that food because people who aren’t in need do not pretend to need food
A really funny complaint about the Zohran discount grocery store idea is that non-poor people could use it when there’s a grocery store half a mile from my grocery store that has everything cost 20% more that rich people go to because they don’t want to shop with normal people.
what happens when you barely step on your pets tail?
the people saying it mean "falsehood" when they say "social construct" and you don't actually need to affirm that premise
Only just found out about this For the record, you don't get multiple genetic markers and one of the most effective medications known to science with 'social constructs' Channel 4, this is, in scientific parlance, an absolute fu*king disgrace that will genuinely endanger lives #c4 #ADHD
