Once again mistaken for an Australian

These people hate you and think you are unworthy of experiencing joy

what the fuck

Worth a watch: Head of Signal, Meredith Whittaker, on so-called "agentic AI" and the difference between how it's described in the marketing and what access and control it would actually require to work as advertised.

I’m learning about the “Mad Pride Movement” and how “madness” operates as a class. I’m not ashamed of my complex neurodiversity

Uboa returns with All the Dead Melt Down as Rain — a digital EP expanding on the themes of The Origin of My Depression. For anyone enduring the fog of illness. Out now: uboa.bandcamp.com

A lot of Bluesky excellence going on in the comments to this

INLAND EMPIRE - A strange feeling... looking at the water. Maybe you should just wander off into the sea? Leave it all and walk in... ELECTROCHEMISTRY - With a bottle in your hand.

I think if the Democratic party doesn't stand in full force behind Zohran Mamdani against the current wave of islamophobic attacks, including calls to deport him, it will be the death of the party. It will look like a party dealing with a primary winner they don't like by throwing him to the wolves.

this is an embarrassing thing for this guy to say in public but also touches on something that constantly rankles me, which is the vague idea of "feeling unsafe" as a problem that someone else needs to solve for you regardless of whether you are actually unsafe or not

It’s really striking how the word “Islamophobia” has disappeared from political discourse

i love when immortal technique shows up on an otherwise normal rap song and starts Having Visions

do cis people know about the gendered buttons thing

Nadler just endorsed Mamdani. A big deal both because of his epic tenure as a congressman and Jewish leader and because, I'm sad to say, the Upper West Side, which he represents and where I live, went for Cuomo and is home to a great many people who (I'm going to put this politely) need reassuring.

New Yorker orders chopped cheese in PERFECT Spanish at Madrid bodega, employees DEEPLY CONFUSED

the “great replacement” could be real and I still wouldn’t care tbh

you know another 33-year-old man who shocked the establishment when he pulled off a miracle?

terrible day for sex pests attempting political comebacks in New York

trying to sus out if my professor will take away points if I call Catalonia a country or if he’ll take away points if I *don’t* call Catalonia a country

Brad Lander: "I also need to thank some of the most important people in my life and on this campaign—I mean, of course, the NYT editorial board. Just kidding, of course: I love Wordle and Connections, but I really urge the Times to cancel their new feature 'Editorial Riddles.' No one likes those."

Huge fan of the guy in my building who greets me by going HELLO and making a face every time i walk by

Held my own in a conversation about philosophy and transsexuality in Spanish today. Genuinely very proud of myself for that.

Oh I’m not catholic I just like the sculpture. Gotta separate the art from the artist yknow

increasingly sympathetic to Jesus being a myth. The Josephus references are 100% a later addition and I don’t see why you would consider Tacitus a reliable source on a group of people he clearly thought were stupid

I love when I meet people who are actually religious because I get to talk to them about theology while they look at me in utter surprise

Trans girl who picks her name from the NATO phonetic alphabet

if trans girls are called "dolls" does that make trans guys "action figures"?

Going to big flea market type places in 2025 just makes me sad. There was a time when it wasn't 70% dropshipped garbage from Amazon/Temu, and that time has passed.

Still trying to figure out the Spanish equivalent of a transatlantic accent so I can talk like that in Spanish too

Hot take: I think gnosticism, dualism, etc. is inherently cope. The demiurge is real and that's it. There is no second Good God to fight the Bad God. There is only the demiurge.

noticing i say way less impulsive nonsense in spanish. having to take a second to figure out how to phrase everything means i never blurt out my thoughts. i kinda prefer it honestly

all according to keikaku

Deeply embarrassing: the hardest part of Spanish for me is greetings. It seems like any response to ¿qué tal? other than "estoy bien" comes off as awkward when I say it

fuck.
