I think the lesson here for all my trans girl friends is when they try to tell you your transbian polycule shenanigans are "man" things because "real lesbians don't do that" they are wrong this is normal lesbian behavior when alienated enough.
So I was watching a YouTube video today about Victorian re-enactment video game designers in a mother-goddess cult running lesbian BDSM sex dungeons with a leader with neo-Nazi sympathies and the presenter had to act more and more shocked but literally the only surprising thing was they were all cis
I used to work in the field and would routinely call to have the utilities marked before drilling. Locating buried utilities is part looking at records part black magic of "somewhere around here." This is a new one for me though.
When the explanation for something like this is "it's a low key little public artwork", that is insanely good to me
We give them 1/100 of their gdp / year in military aid. It's equal to a single day of Medicare spending. As soon as the US stops all military aid to Israel, you will still believe it's there bc there's a switch in your brain marked "Jews are stealing all your money" that was installed 800 years ago

Even though I don't need a new computer it makes me want a new one of these just to feel things, damn.
I refuse to financialize the pleasure I get from watching a giant man leap over a different giant and jam a ball through a net so hard that a man in a suit announces thereβs been a murder on live television
um have you noticed that everyone who works in extremism research and antifascist organizing is taking note of a surge of antisemitic rhetoric on the left since the attack on iran
Silly me, I should have thought of βdo I want my family murdered if we go to Jewish stuffβ before telling Donny and Bibi my great personal friends what a wonderful idea it would be to bomb Iran.
Remembering the copious 2010s discussions of the mental health toll of being marginalized, in light of how Jews worldwide are just accepted targets and if we object itβs βwell have you considered personally changing geopolitics?β
incidentally, McVeigh targeted Murrough building bc it represented "ZOG," but it coulda been a metro station, or a town square. anyone in the US can be targeted as "supporting mass murder" according to the formula, bc the target is abstracted to the ideological level rather than the material.
The Last Jedi was ok and I have never seen Star Trek Discovery. I do not particularly care about film and TV set in space, I find the space opera genre pretty hokey on screen. You can crucify me now.

The disconnect between upper management understanding of what workers contribute to software development and the reality on the ground has been building for years, at least at my company. The introduction of LLMs in that environment is absolutely going to be apocalyptic.

Oh my God no one in this administration actually cares about Jewish people, you know that, right?
More than in the US, in Western Europe, far-right parties present themselves as defenders of LGB (but not T) people against "the real homophobia" from immigrants.
And if you understand how this cynical deployment of homophobia doesn't negate real homophobia, you can do that with antisemitism, too.
This probably sounds crazy and we'd lose a tremendous amount but I am thinking back to old internet sites that required subscriptions. Idk. Just a passing thought.
My dumb thought is that the requirement for age verification may backfire, considering that needing do this may instead drive people to social media sites that are payment driven instead and therefore have incentive to not sell data.
You can tell it's a bad explanation because it makes a claim that has literally never occurred in human history ever.
guys we found the dude whose fault this is
Like clockwork
And there seems to be little self-awareness about this at all? All at the same time of agitating for singular they being acceptable common usage, it actually makes me extremely insane.
I've got to note how much anti-androgyny in the trans community mirrors how cis people talk about trans people. "If you try for it, you won't look how you want. You will regret it when you're older. People will treat you badly for it and not understand. It's too confusing and you won't be accepted!"
There's never been a good adaptation of Lord of the Rings because it's never been adapted in its proper form (a musical)
Tim Walz offering a positive vision of traditional masculinity and being loathed for it was low key one of the most blackpillling events of the past decade plus.
Photographs of a dinosaur-looking bird, the shoebill, and popstar Sabrina Carpenter, overlaid with a height comparison showing both are 152 cm, with visual graphics saying the magazine's name SSWAGGER and some Chinese characters
Photographs of a shoebill and popstar Sabrina Carpenter overlaid with a height comparison showing that, yes indeed, both are just 152 cm
I can't even begin to describe this photograph. I think that might be Taylor Swift on a night out with Sabrina Carpenter. But Sabrina is photoshopped to have a shoebill face and talons, with wing-tips coming out her coat but still Sabrina's hair
Just incredible shoebill awareness-raising from this Hong Kong teens' magazine
