The thing I had to learn is that if someone is actually horrible from time to time, you must assume that’s who they really are and move accordingly. Everything else is a mask.
one of my kids classmates said she couldn't taste FOR A YEAR, but asked kid why she masks.
this is what y'all and these traitor ass health care 'professionals' have taught the kids.
So, like…the government is obviously seeing this data too. And they’re STILL letting RFK take this stance on vaccines.
And state leaders aren’t really doing shit either.
Which can only mean…it’s on purpose, right?
I mean this chart is a pretty glaring dataset. What else could it be?
Holy moly this chart: Cumulative US measles cases
And it’s so easy to tell when someone is speaking from a bruised ego (and frustrating) bc I’m just tryna communicate and you think I’m attacking you.
It’s supposed to be us versus the problem, but your ego makes you think it’s me vs you.
the stink of gender resentment coming off Silicon Valley has been obvious for a while. these men hate women because they hate being told no.
The war between the people who want us to rent art from platforms owned by dumb assholes with MBAs who actually hate artists and the artists who want to sell their art directly to people who will love it
Narratively having Ever Given getting stuck in 2021 to set up Hormuz in 2026 is great foreshadowing. You want your audience to understand the basics of international shipping in a lower stakes context so you drop the real plot without a lot of saggy exposition about the minutiae of cargo logistics.
Those of us in Seattle may have heard of the 5th Ave Theatre struggling and having to lay off most of their staff last week - my very dear friend Dana was hit by this and is doing their best to regroup, please consider donating, Dana (& Clifford) are good people ❤️ gofund.me/595274ebe
Appropriately identifying when I think something is unacceptable has helped me so much in life.
Ew, yuck, gross, I hate it.
All acceptable responses. Toddlers were right about being honest when dissatisfied
As someone who went on the Internet for the first time in the early 90’s, I fucking loved the Internet. It has given so many things in life, and afforded me so many incredible experiences.
And to see it, and technology in general where they are today is kinda soul crushing.
Still trying to get this one done. Thank y’all so much for your help

Fascists, by their nature, regard expertise as disloyal and invalid
Many forms of progress being crushed and thrown by the wayside
Has there been any explanation from Spotify as to why they’re fraudulently uploading AI slop to verified artist accounts as ‘new releases’ yet?
I haven’t seen much chat about it, but among musicians this a real topic of discussion. People are very disturbed.
yeah these are not common thieves though. common thieves steal $50 or lip gloss out the drugstore. or a package off somebody porch. these people are trying to steal life itself and extort us for it. they deserve the old french tradition and nothing less.
You literally should not drive without consistently using your turn signals. I’m 100% serious.
NEW: Last summer, two women fell ill after receiving peptide injections at RAADFest, an anti-aging event put on by an organization that promises pathways to an “unlimited lifespan.”
After an investigation, those suspected of playing a role have been fined.
I turned off being told about anything but comments from people I'm not following, and I have a heavy hand with the block button. I don't know why out of all the media I've ever been on, this is the one where strangers wanna interact with me. Bots, probably
The data drops as Sen. Bernie Sanders calls for a moratorium on datacenter construction. 'We need to take a deep breath. We need to make sure that AI and robotics work for all of us, not just a handful of billionaires.'
it’s official being disabled and mentally ill is barely legal everywhere on earth.
and by barely legal i mean they make it so impossible to live that eventually a way is found to remove is from society
In an outburst, Pete Hegseth trashed CNN’s Iran war coverage: "The sooner David Ellison takes over that network, the better."
Oh my god people are giving small children AI toys and expecting them to learn communication from them??? THIS IS LITERALLY WHAT HUMANS SHOULD BE DOING THIS IS NOT AI'S JOB WHAT THE HELL www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Asian countries roll out four-day weeks and work-from-home as emergency measures to solve a fuel crisis caused by Iran war
Need help with home repair in Detroit? Here’s how to preapply for the city’s latest grant program from @kobylevin.bsky.social.
There’s a lot of need in Detroit ... so we’re expecting a waitlist. But you miss every shot you don’t take, so good luck!
This is what happens when you eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion in favor of “merit”:
In 2019, while incarcerated in Colorado, Nadia Reed refused to work for two days in one month. Her punishment was 30 days of solitary confinement. Now, a court ruling in the state could keep prisons from sending people to solitary for refusing to work.
Digitally drawn hand lettering in an improvised sort of blackletter style with tasteful swirls and swashes. The words are colored in mottled blues and greens with light blue to white stippled glow around them on a toned paper background. They read ‘Maybe it will happen today’
I slept wrong and hurt my neck. Adulthood sucks
The current world chicken population is larger than the planet-wide non-chicken bird population not just today, but at any point in the history of earth.
