I'm not sure why you feel so entitled to my time and attention and I am not going to retype all of my arguments here 300 characters at at time for you, especially since you are engaging with none of them. I'll leave you with this, on automatic transcription:

GET THEIR ASSES

this conflict is stupid, wrong, and infuriating
its an iranian missile with a message written on it in Persian
the message, translated, reads "in memory of the victims of epstein island"

I’ve said it before, but People magazine should get a Pulitzer for its coverage of this administration.
a common thing autistic people deal with is the "I don't care that 'everyone' does it this way, that way is bullshit and I'm not doing it"
And that applies just as much to gender as it does to operating systems
I need some help. Something I like has become associated in my head with something truly horrifying that I read about the epstein files. How do I dis-associate them? It’s been some days; probably too late to play Tetris about it. Might not even be true, but it’s in my head now.

the mantis shrimp has 16 types of color receptors.
humans have 3.
we see roughly 10 million colors and think that's impressive.
the mantis shrimp is sitting there processing a visual reality so hyperchromatic that scientists genuinely aren't sure what it's like to be one.

reminded of my most dad coded political opinion which is that we need a universal Naps and Lil Snacks For All program
A tweet from Alix E. Harrow (@AlixEHarrow): got into an argument with my 4yo about whether the word "dragon" starts with a J or a D and now i'm just repeating the word "jragon" to myself wondering why it doesn't sound any different.
So genuinely this fascinated me when I first started working on my own conlang:
J isn't its own sound. It's just a very punctuated version of the French "J" sound (In IPA, ʒ, something like "Zh") trying to imitate a voiced dental plosive (like D).
Which you can hear if you remove the R: [D/J]agon.
Everything we do to fight fascism will be seen as too extreme, and too early. In reality, history shows that things were usually too late and too moderate.
This is why I like to sprinkle artwork in my posting, as a treat. If I’m gonna be emotional about something, might as well make it pretty.
Racists are fucking morons. Imagine how utterly boring life would be if everyone looked and thought the same. We're all different and that's the beauty and power of a well cultured society.
These AI apologists suck so hard they are going to make me defend Cormac McCarthy
I still cannot get over how the junk “science” of the people who downplayed COVID-19 and opposed the vax paved the way for rampant transphobia and widespread disinformation. My community deeply fractured, some crunchy moms got radicalized, and nothing has been the same.
Because of people like this.
We didn't ruin the economy.
We didn't get you laid off.
We didn't replace you with AI.
We didn't raise gas prices.
We didn't foreclose your home.
We didn't cause your divorce.
We didn't get your kid snatched by ICE.
We aren't in the Epstein files.
Leave us the fuck alone.
BLADE RUNNER is one of the unhappiest of all films. Rick Deckard not only does not know himself, he cannot know himself. All of life is a hazy miasma, an illusion in which the figures wander, apart from poor Roy Batty who genuinely wants something that he shall never get.

Just a note to the guy who invented zero... thanks for nothing!

I think he’s saying trump won’t do anything that would hurt Russia.
@suchnerve tweet: "Violence is NOT the answer. The answer is *opens history book* Uh oh *frantically starts flipping through pages* Uh oh. Oh no. No no no. Uh oh." 6:40AM 12/12/24
bluesky being immediately negatively polarized into going with skeets because we were asked not to was the first sign that we were going to make it as a posting site
every true posting forum declares forever war against the mods

Who would have guessed that the legal system in America was so fragile that a single crazy president could ignore the whole thing, from the Constitution right down to state laws?
Why does the Supreme Court and Congress let this demented moron act like the dictator of a banana republic?
"WHAT ARE WE TO TELL THE CHILDREN ABOUT GAYS MARRYING?" Dunno. I'll ask my 5-year-old, who just married their stuffed bear to a stuffed pony."
Ruin a dad’s week by saying the TV display looks weird and refusing to elaborate
I need to keep reminding myself: making actual art by hand gives some people a measure of hope. That makes it worth doing because we are human beings and we're all in this together, yes? The world is a colossal mess but we actually have one another.
Yes?
