Brak wanted to record a very special song for this post…

Oh my god the dietician who is telling everyone in the White House to only eat steak and sauerkraut doesn't wipe his ass.

there are two types of fans of things- those who treat it like a hobby and understand it's ok to laugh at things you enjoy and those who use it to replace church or whatever in their lives and are very vigilant against Blasphemy

So I woke up this morning to find out that Ozzy Osbourne’s son made a video falsely accusing me of using AI to write a Rolling Stone article about the Tate brothers.

I 100% have not changed a single goddamn thing about how I write here in the age of "AI." I write how I write. If the "AI" writes anything like how I write, it's because it stole from me. I'm gonna use any punctuation I like, and if it looks "AI"ish to you, you can go fuck yourself.

Authors and journalists are doing more first-person (hello 2010s blogging) and embracing "mistakes" in writing to prove they're not chatbots. There's even an “anti-Grammarly" app that leaves in typos and signs off "sent from my iPhone" to create more authenticity: www.wired.com/story/more-t...

The yearly question of "Will I go to Gencon this year again, or am I finally done with it?" has been answered, and the answer is,"I'm going."

I’m really glad I have Bluesky to keep me informed about what Matt Yglesias is saying. I have him blocked for being a dumbass nobody centrist shill with nothing to say and I don’t use X, but thankfully all the nothing he says gets screenshotted and reposted here. Wouldn’t want to miss it!

when a thing upsets the literal worst people in the world you should do more of it not less

Hilarious that the Hindu right in India is trying to make an issue of protesters using foul language after spending 12+ years calling every Indian woman on social media every variation of 'bitch' 'slut' etc and making receiving rape & death threats a regular-ass part of online life in India.

ok reasonable

This is a *fantastic* video that explains exactly WTF is going on with Taylor Farms and how tracing works TLDR: - they are responsible - the false positive was only on one of several samples - it’s difficult to test parasites - there may still be other sources - Taylor Farms is being shady AF

Two people tried to enter a screening of The Odyssey without buying tickets after hiding inside a miniature model of the Trojan Horse. 😂😂😂

Canadian Batman: hey so Joker there, you gotta get out of Winnipeg man Joker: Bien essayé, cerveau de chauve-souris, mais ces Timbits sont à moi.

ENOUGH!!! RALLY ROUND THE BELL!! SCHOOL WALKIOUT MONDAY AT 12 TELL EVERYONE

SEC filings show Taco Bell—and other restaurants—knew cyclospora posed a risk to their businesses and the public.

Americans and Canadians blaming each other for wildfires and nitpicking who’s worse solves *nothing*. But it does make the oil companies really fucking happy cause we’re too busy yelling at each other to focus our ire at them. Both of our govts are capitalist shitbags in their pockets.

JK Rowling through her TERF organization, Beira's Place have sent Amnesty International a demand letter seeking a full retraction of their report, a public apology, and a bar to future criticism of gender critical groups as anti rights orgs. If they don't comply, they'll commence legal action.

Folks, I am a positive person who is happy in my life and who tries to see people’s good side wherever possible and I cannot explain to you how much I fucking hate JKR’s loathsome guts.

There's an OMB rule change that would require political oversight of scientific grants, and could pull any that don't "reflect presidential priorities" Another country has tried this before! It was the USSR and it was called Lysenkoism. By @thsaey.bsky.social www.sciencenews.org/article/omb-...

Here’s what happens when you put politicians in charge of science

Proposed federal rules would rely on political appointees to decide how a lot of U.S. science gets done. History shows the consequences of such actions.

How did we get here? Things used to be mutualistic: search got free content and sites got free traffic. This was enforced by competition. Misbehaving site? De-index. Misbehaving search? Cut off crawler. But this only works if there are enough search engines that sites can afford to do it.

Just how bad an actor? They deliberately degraded search to squeeze more and dollars from the shrunken husk. This process began long before LLM powered rubbish entered the frame.

I think what’s most surreal about watching the Graham Platner debacle … Black people were completely horrified

It's not the band I hate, it's their fans.

A lot of the people pushing the Nazi rapist despite plentiful evidence of his rapey/Nazi predilections genuinely believed they were doing it 'cause they know better what's good for you. That's why they're acting like martyrs now. Zero introspection. They haven't learned a single solitary thing.

For the people crying, "Why didn't these women say something before when he first joined the race?" Maybe next time, think about why that might be instead of assuming everything you don't want to hear is a trick.

Raise your hand if you've ever felt pressured or compelled to stay quiet about a problematic man in your movement or community because you knew you wouldn't be believed, you would be further traumatized, or you knew you would end up being blamed and harassed for affecting his future or popularity 🙋🏻‍♀️

Ad Rock: you can disagree with the current All: POPE MCA: but if you push his buttons then you’re a All: DOPE Mike D: ordain yourself a bishop and you’re All: SCHISMATIC Ad Rock: excommunication is All: AUTOMATIC

ftr feel free, nobody can control your feelings, you have the right to feel upset that ppl don't like bigots and those people have the right not to like bigots.

A pox on every single transphobe, especially those with the political and social power to make people’s lives better or worse who decide: hm, let’s go with WORSE. This includes not only rabid rightwingers, but also ostensible allies who cannot wait to sell out our trans brothers and sisters. POX!!

“you just come onto the soil to have the child” Mike Johnson, not understanding how anything works 😭

NPR using the phrase “culture wars” in their lede about the Supreme Court decision is violence btw. Trans liberation is life or death. They also repeated multiple times the unscientific claims that trans women and girls have an advantage physically. With friends like these, who needs enemies?
