The entire continental US is covered by smoke plumes and there are spots in the northwest that are absurdly toxic, do NOT go outside there. For reference, "hazardous" starts at an AQI of 300. fire.airnow.gov

Vance married a woman whose last name was Chilukuri, but he thinks you should be terrified of someone named El-Sayed.

Y'all. So much of graphic design is just: "Is this readable?" If the text is an appropriate size, with adequate space, margins and contrast from the background, you're halfway there. After that, just please stop jamming so much stuff on one page. Let me breathe.

One way you can tell trans women are really women is that Stephen A Smith treats them like shit

If you're in the US, remember that fire doesn't know human borders. The US news will tell you when Spokane burns. They won't tell you when indigenous communities burn, and they won't tell you when BC burns even though that should be a smoky-red flag that we can't get away from fires anymore.

George Patton was an antisemite who was relieved of his command for refusing to de-Nazify Germany after the war, and MacArthur was relieved of his command in Korea for secretly communicating with foreign governments without authorization. We really should try to go 3 for 3 here.

Donald Trump dodged the draft but is happy to post photos of himself in uniform while he sends our kids to die in his war.

Radical idea... If your biggest fear for your future child is that they might be lgbqtia+ and you want to prevent that... Maybe just don't have children. You're meant to love your child as they are, for who they are, and what they will become. Not force them into your narrow preconceptions.

The SAVE Act 2.0 is a direct attack on Tribal sovereignty. Tribal ID would be rendered worthless at the ballot box under their plan. Millions of Native voters would be silenced. This isn't just a policy—it’s an erasure. #HandsOffHerVote

Saw a post saying "I don't want NSFW accounts to talk about voting, just let me jack off" Buddy, NSFW artists and sex workers are being constantly attacked by a government of nonces trying to distract from their own crimes by pinning the blame on porn. They have the right to speak up about this.

I love you all but you are incredibly (understandably) reactive. It’s making you SO easily manipulated by rage baiters. When you see something without context, a headline or a snippet of a quote, take a deep breath and look into it to see if you really should be upset. Please protect your hearts.

what happens when you barely step on your pets tail?

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.
