i absolutely do not agree with recording strangers in public and allowing the internet to doxx them and ruin their lives. that being said, i do find the CEO/HR lady cheating drama very funny, because i am a bad person. two things can be true
I'm watching a streamer play Donkey Kong Bananza and can't help but think that some games/franchises really don't benefit from fleshed out (any) characterization/storytelling
I do think this matters. A Democrat should be willing to support the status quo of 2020 on trans rights. If that's too much then they're supporting the removal of our rights.
3) when people try to say "patience, optics, don't scare the average joes" like it's SSM/gay rights in 2010, remember those were new rights we were lobbying to get for the first time. what THIS discussion is about is TAKING AWAY rights trans people have HAD for decades

I was explaining to my Ukrainian colleague the phrase ‘There’s no such thing as a free lunch’. She told me the equivalent in Ukrainian is ‘The only free cheese is in the mousetrap’ - which is so much better
Alert BlueSky! There has been a massive troll attack spreading anti-Gavin Newsom propaganda and lies since yesterday. Swarms likely coming from a troll farm somewhere are already spreading information to try to weaken so far, one of the best candidates for 2028. 7-16

I'm not just talking about the skull/trunk -> cyclops myth thing, but even their feet, which have a huge fatty cushion giving them basically wedge shoes.
It really is. Instead of having a commons where a moderate position is reached through interaction and consensus, we now have blobs separating to the far poles, and more extreme ideology proliferates on both sides. It's 'elective' polarization because the platform doesn't stop hate speech.
Today's @theverge.com Vergecast talked about the swoleness of Tim Cook, so I searched on DuckDuckGo to find the Slate article (with pictures) they mentioned, and I don't know why, but DuckDuckGo's AI response was funny to me
Why is the macOS spellcheck so bad? I went to check the spalling of a misspelled `possissive` and it was all, "do you mean `positive`?" How about `possessive` which is only one character off. What are you doing.

Ever think about how there's probably a parallel universe where Aerosmith's "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" plays in Return of the King when Aragorn and Arwen are reunited because of Liv Tyler
"It's not like the president is a baby brained moron," a White House official said, laughing nervously. "He's not, you know, a big stupid asshole who doesn't give a shit about anything except attention" www.politico.com/news/2025/07...
Can't get enough of these videos of Peter Thiel being asked by a friendly interviewer to "just say you're not the antichrist, out loud" followed by Thiel making various deep sea creature noises for 30 seconds before going "it's uh it's uh it's uh there are a lot of declensions here, interestingly,"
