"I have to do everything myself out here"

How cats celebrate the summer solstice

This is incredibly funny but, also, I hope everyone who is pro AI or a teacher that allows AI can see clear as day that the ultimate goal is to put the thumb on the scale of all of this shit. That's why they're forcing it on us. It's a joke.

Repost with Alt Text. ...bc yeah, THIS.

"why are millennials so left leaning compared to every other generation" idk dude maybe it's because every single formative event in our lives has been a disaster directly caused by capitalism and american imperialism but nah it's probably the computer games

Nature + Fiddle

me, time traveling: "strawberry nesquik is the defining drink of twinks". if you post that at the right time on twitter you could parlay it into a TV job and a book deal. 2012 or so. past me: okay. anything else that's important to tell me? me, time traveling: nothing comes to mind.

The story of LGBT rights is a story of advances followed by setbacks followed by media with no skin in the game saying, "It's because you were too loud/asked for too much/moved too fast/got too big for your britches/didn't make your case." That never changes--but happily it's never the last word.

When Dobbs came down, the media rightly saw it as the culmination of a decades long effort to eliminate abortion rights by the conservative legal movement. When Skrmetti came down, the media blamed trans people and not that same conservative legal machine. It's the same court and lawyers.

This probably needs updating, but this is a good starter pack for talented Black folks who actively make cool video games. go.bsky.app/t7UZsr

Today's mood until Friday:

Dress it up in progressive language but you're cheating yourself by not doing the work. This is the worst thing about AI: millions of students refusing to learn, taking zero interest in the world around them, empty in mind and heart. Your punishment is the person you will become.

if you don’t know the history of Dodger Stadium you can’t fully understand what unfolded today. thanks @chrislhayes.bsky.social for the opportunity to share it.

I need to survive June. Urgent this week. Need money for food, medical supplies,and bill payments. Disability benefits vastly insufficient. Too unwell to work. Goal: 774/900 🙏 💸 ko-fi.com/jebwrench

this is ironically the very definition of "capitalist realism" as described by Mark Fisher. the most conservative, status-quo enforcing beliefs are constantly framed as the one true venue of reasonable adults, and any kind of alternative is delusional fantasy regardless of efficacy or merit.

leftists are correct that american elite antipathy to workers' rights led to the downfall of the republic (the 2007 TV writers strike led to the 2008 greenlighting of Celebrity Apprentice)

Listening to my favorite 14-minute metal ballad adaptation of the Iliad and contemplating the "is Achilles a top or bottom?" discourse that has been raging unresolved for thousands of years Now that's fandom

Finally, a Holy War I can join

The longer it takes for us to hit 100 new subs, the more I'll be forced to share my goofy patchwork promotional photo edits with all of you.

Hahahahaha.

one of humanity's best features is our ability to creatively play with the unlikely and unexpected. AI will only ever do what's most likely and most expected and that's part of why your AI book and your AI drawings and your AI songs are complete trash and always will be

liberal surprise at the current state of US ICE is so damning when you consider this movie was made in Japan by Japanese creators in 2019. The "freeze force" arresting an "undesirable"["burnish", think "fire x-man"] at his job peacefully making pizza and embellishing their non-legal ability doing so
