adjective

This is the heart of the problem. "Ultra-processed" foods are considered unhealthy due to their chemical additives or their calorie density but neither of those have anything to do with "processing"!

This is just the word people use to talk about foods they don't like. Scientists should do better.

NO NO NO YOU DON’T

GUYS LET ME PLEASE SPREAD THE GOSPEL OF FREE TAX USA

federal is free, state is $16, handles even my chaotic freelancer taxes just fine, same step-by-step “designed for normies” kind of interface as TurboTax but NOT EVIL

yep i am unfortunately familiar with that one

yikes i see thanks for explaining

somewhat afraid to ask but what is "j-ed someone down" supposed to mean ive never heard that usage

This is a good analogy. Very useful in carefully controlled settings for specific usages, but unfortunately being widely inserted into everything and used without training or PPE and poisoning a lot of things and people and we’re going to pay a tonne of money to remove it safely in the future

which book 👀

I will destroy her

do you mean a spike in traffic to the bet or a spike in betting? wouldn't the latter not occur, since the biggest wins by nature come via a single user with insider info rather than a ton of people betting?

Bureau of Prisons: February 19, 2026 PURPOSE AND SCOPE To establish professional guidelines for the mental health evaluation and treatment of inmates meeting the diagnostic criteria for Gender Dysphoria (GD) to assist their progress toward recovery, while reducing or eliminating the frequency and severity of symptoms and associated negative outcomes.

This week it was uncovered that the Trump regime is trying to "cure" trans prisoners of being transgender, while doing everything they can - from labeling our mere existence as explicit to stripping us of our legal documents - to ensure we *all* end up imprisoned in their ever-growing camps.

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

Alt National Park Service: After seeing Rep. Massie’s post, we felt we should share this too: We are not suicidal. Our vehicles have been inspected and are in good working order. We plan our routes and check conditions before heading out. Our gear is in good shape. We pack food and water and tell people where we’re going. We stay on marked trails and respect public lands. There are no dangerous crossings or cliffs on our hikes and we know our limits. We’re pretty solid outdoorspeople and we plan to keep enjoying our parks for a long time.

I don't have a jerk-off motion big enough for this post.

The Alt National Park Service, a Facebook account that posts #resistance memes and steals headlines, is not in danger. No one is going to black-bag the fearless rangers at AltNPS. Get a grip.

and recently making very mean spirited and unnecessary comments about people who continue to mask

Lines of academy cadets, one in command red seated but at attention while in a wheelchair.

I have a friend who said, of Starfleet Academy, that this took them out of it - that seeing a person in a wheelchair in the 32nd century seemed unrealistic, since medicine in Star Trek "should be able to cure whatever was wrong with them."

That's not the case, for any number of possible reasons.

if a person tricks you into thinking they love you in order to clean out your bank accounts that is a crime, if a corporation does it that's just an interesting business plan

Tamer Nahed 𓂆🇵🇸 @Tamer_Alnoaizy BlueSky is one of the worst platforms I have ever dealt with. Within seconds of creating a second account, after my first one was shut down just two days after it was created, my account was closed again. This happened despite the fact that I hadn’t posted anything or followed anyone. I was only in the process of adding a profile photo, yet I received an email claiming that my account was “spam” and that it was “causing harm.” What kind of logic is this? The painful truth is that the account was shut down the moment it became clear it was created from inside Gaza. It seems we are no longer allowed to write or speak about what is happening to us here. They are not afraid of content itself, but of our voices and the reality we carry with us. Millions are spent to silence these voices and to erase the truth. I am exhausted by this platform and by how our photos and videos, which document real suffering, are treated as “violations of community standards,” as if pain itself has become a crime. What is happening is not simple moderation or policy enforcement. It is an attempt to erase our existence and bury the truth. And honestly, this is shameful and unbearably painful. [the original poster has included two screenshots showing the email from bluesky admin informing him that his account has been taken down for being 'spammy, inauthentic or disruptive to users'. it's the standard boilerplate you get when they take moderation action.] 2:45 PM · Feb 10, 2026 https://twitter.com/Tamer_Alnoaizy/status/2021234178461704409

palestinian journalist posting on twitter that his bluesky account was immediately taken down purely because he was in gaza. all palestinian accounts are assumed to be spam.

“The nationwide Christmas boycott recommended by the executive board of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference is a singularly inappropriate device for promoting civil rights or protesting the killing of six Negro children in Birmingham.”

Palestianism (when you hate the palest Ian)

man I’m sorry to be all corny here but when I see a “the city is beautiful! There’s more to it than homeless people!” I gotta say you know who’s also beautiful? People who have no place to live & are trying to get by in a system that has turned its back on them & if you don’t see that that’s on you

credible accusations of sexual misconduct unfortunately. the blog post anonymizes mieville but it was later confirmed to be him, and the post has since been taken down because he apparently legally threatened her web.archive.org/web/20160310...

Gaiman's already been covered so, China Mieville. loved his books so much especially The City and The City which i admit i still sometimes comfort reread but i have a torrented ebook copy and dont plan to ever purchase anything by him again

Behold: the first-ever list of news outlets that have banned generative AI in their reporting. As of today, this is literally information that you cannot find on Google.

My goal is to fill the starter pack, so please send over suggestions with supporting evidence!

Alt National Park Service: There's something happening here What it is ain't exactly clear There's a man with a gun over there A-telling me I got to beware I think it's time we stop Children, what's that sound? Everybody look what's going down

AltNPS posted about Alex Pretti's murder 25 times since this morning. During that time, they spread misinformation about the shooting, lied about knowing the shooter's name, and generally flooded the zone with shit.

They're trying to milk this story for all it's worth.

I'm seeing a lot of calls to block/report any and all "Alt" accounts in the replies, but I think it's worth saying that AltNPS is BY FAR the worst, most harmful, and most dangerous "Alt" account.

The others are generally pretty harmless, and I don't want to unnecessarily lump them in with AltNPS.

(1) Get set up with an attorney before you go out, if at all possible. ICE has started asking if people they arrest have an attorney and, if they say no, denying access to the lawyers doing ad hoc jail support. Get a name and phone number. Memorize both of possible, write their number on your arm

They tell students papers sound like AI — even when they're the students' own writing — so the company can scare them and sell them a product.

This goes beyond the general problem that even good AI detectors aren't perfect and shouldn't be the sole reason to accuse someone of writing with AI.

Tech Billionaires Want Us Dead YouTube video by Taylor Lorenz

I made a deep dive video into the TESCREAL ideology shaping Silicon Valley’s biggest companies and the AI arms race, and how a shocking number of tech billionaires are pro-human extinction

my neighbor has one and their front door points directly at ours 🙃

unfortunately, prison food is much MUCH worse than even this.
