That line predates Marx I found out
It takes a certain kind of…narcissistic nihilism to look across the country at people self-organizing against something that is generally a fairly good material symbol of the intangible class warfare that has alienated them and say, “what a silly distraction from what *really* matters.” And yet…
This needs to be immortalized.
The trouble with "human authored" stickers is that the AI shills will use them. Those who've displayed zero morality when it comes to theft won't start now.
Best way is to ban AI usage in the arts entirely.
The answer is to find the lunatic who keeps setting up trolley problems
societies typically talk about human cognition as working similarly to whatever is seen as the latest and greatest technology. that’s why we currently describe the brain as a roguelike deckbuilding game about characters making their way up a spire

[handing my ticket over] yeah you can just slap a big “HFH” on that bad boy. your boss probably even has time to resell my seat
[to my date] it means “here for hotdogs”. enjoy the flick, sweetheart, I’ll be out here keeping the concessions stand *extremely* busy
newsom is fated to die in the california water wars and is therefore a bad presidential candiate
The USA's best trick is combining the appearance of freedom with a reality of repression. It is a brilliantly crafted permissive tyranny: one in which some protest & vocal dissent are tolerated & even promoted, mostly bc they've become impotent release valves that dissipate energy & change little.
The internet, on scientists: They're secretive gatekeepers, they hoard esoterica/the truth, they don't want anyone in their ivory tower little clubs
Actual scientists: LOOK, WE FOUND A 300 MILLION YEAR OLD FOSSILIZED CLOACCAL IMPRESSION AND THE VENT IS HORIZONTAL! PLZ READ MY 67-PAGE PAPER ABOUT IT
"Direct action is, ultimately, the defiant insistence on acting as if one is already free." --David Graeber
It’s a panel from powerup comics where the text has been edited: “what’s your opinion on women’s day as far as I’m concerned, all days are for women”
I love when men tell us what's worth dying for while killing us
abolish standard time? abolish daylight savings time?
how about we abolish *time*, cowards

We are living in a time of open, gaping atrocities. Take care of yourselves and one another.
they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.
This happens when someone leaves the seat up, and, idk, my cheeks touched water last time. I'm not a fan
tenchi masaki from tenchi muyo dressed in a grey schoolgirl uniform walks through a scifi scanner thingie
a computer screen showing his skeleton and a DNA strand, captioned dialog reads "everything looks okay"
the space cop or whatever says "but did you know your frame is very masculine?"
tenchi says "uh, i... have a father who's a man"
it's a pleasant surprise if you find a crossdressing character in a 90s anime and the joke being told is funny
Dominic Toretto as seen in the original "The Fast and the Furious." He is wearing a red leather jacket over a black t-shirt and a cross necklace.

15 months on hrt and i think it's really making a difference! 💖
Chlorine dioxide is an industrial bleach for lumber and freaks like RFK give autistic kids enemas with it. Kids die from the practice. These people just want autistic kids dead.
There's skin in the game and then there's directly hooking the US treasury up to Iranian attacks on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.
Woke bae Claude doing war crimes is a pretty fast milkshake duck.
Which like, anthropic was always evil, and I'm dismayed that people pretend otherwise.
A lot of AI researchers spent countless years debating the ethics of autonomous killing by AI and not nearly enough on AI assisted targeting for bombing campaigns. The atrocities are even worse. Over 100 dead school girls based on outdated maps and data.
All of this. Plus their makers stole all our work, are trying to change our IP laws to lionise this theft, took a sledgehammer to the creative economy and successfully reframed predictive text generation as the zenith of artistic achievement
Also, the fascism
A thread of replies on Twitter dated Sep 7, 2018. @blanchardphd tweet: I've reviewed my share of manuscripts for scholarly journals. If I thought an author's language was ridiculous (eg, "gender assigned at birth" for "sex"), I might say so, but I never wrote that an author *must* use this language or *must not* use that. @2damntrans reply: BOFA are particularly bad at this. @blanchardphd reply: What does BOFA stand for? @2damntransreply: IT STANDS FOR BOFA DEEZ NUTS IN YA MOUF U DIRTY OLD GIT
I've not shared this on Bluesky before, so here it is. At 1:48 PM (BST), on Friday September 7, 2018, I reached the greatest height of my posting career. This is my magnum opus.
I repost it here for posterity, for future generations to enjoy.
