"Damn, bitch. You live like this?!-Mitsuru Kirijo

EldRiTcH NAmE 💖👁❤️ (1/2)

Most LLM-based Chatbots are designed to tell you things you're more likely to accept. So if you're in the middle of— or even just susceptible to— crisis, they absolutely can & often will *Affirm That Headspace*. And this has been shown w/ depression, schizoaffective syndromes, & self-harm ideation…

Thread of terrifying black spells that look like yoga poses. We begin with Child’s Pose:

"DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin dismissed any photo evidence of the incident in the parking lot, saying any photos were from a criminal arrest earlier this year. However, McLaughlin’s statement appears to have been copied and pasted from a different press inquiry."

there's been a fair amount of commentary on this but i think a big thing that Cuban et al. think but don't want to say (because it's embarrassing) is that they don't like that they're treated like everyone else here and that no one really cares who they are. they suck at posting and are facing that

Just so we are all clear This is the same camp that Ras J Baraka was arrested at and LaMonica McIver caught a FEDERAL charge for investigating because they did not believe the conditions were humane So the two Black legislators who actually did something ENTIRELY correct

this horrible thing of wondering whether or not this man is aware he sounds like a scripted villain vs whether he's actively trying to be that, aspirationally

Don’t go making “Sikhs pretending to be Christians” into the new “men in dresses sneaking into bathroom.” Both are nonexistent

It's weird to me how Kamen Rider Kuuga and Persona 5 Royal have the exact same ending: Two men punching the crap out of each other on a ledge after a big special effects battle.

I do some commercial voice work in Canada and while I'm not the same level or same ballpark as these guys..let me tell you a secret...you'd be surprised how little we actually make. Lets say I don't make a lot for a 30 second spot, even if it takes me like 20+ takes,etc, I get paid very little

Chat, is it good when your military in a liberal democracy is talking about Tiananmen Square

I'm reading terrible 90s Iron Man comics again & I'm a big fan of this page, where Iron Man begins a sentence in his inner monologue but finishes it out loud, so from the villain's perspective it just looks like he's randomly exclaiming "IRON MAN IN YOUR FACE!"

Tech bros are the enemy of humanity.

Ah yes, all us geek billionaires out there...

As I just flagged, this has been replaced with something which is arguably worse; requiring that basically every plaintiff seeking a preliminary injunction against the federal government pay millions or billions of dollars in "security" to pay for "costs" to the federal government if they later win.

Yes. According to Army protocol, congressional staff are VIP Code 5, with a rank equivalent to a two-star general/admiral. Members of Congress are of course significantly higher. I have never seen USCP, FPS, or any other federal LEO treat any Member with anywhere near this disrespect and violence.

The most important lesson about having friends that I have learned as an adult is that your friends will be into weird shit that you're not into, and that's just part and parcel of being an adult. If its all consenting adults, you don't need to give a damn. Folks can just be weird. It's cool.

I think Republicans really need to understand that if people are denied relief through the legal system, they will find other ways to seek justice, and historically those ways end up being quite violent

Every few days I'm reminded that you need to have at least one pervert on your team.

We have a joke about defeating the Greeks but before I tell you, we need to investigate reports of a giant horse being left at the front door. It's probably nothing.

i locked eyes with the lead singer of smash mouth while they were performing "i'm a believer" at a rib fest and a few weeks later he tweeted about trans rights

People need to run them cowards the fuck off every single time.

It's a truly jarring split screen that Kristi Noem's goons attacking Sen Padilla happened at almost the exact same time as 16 Dem senators crossed lines to vote with the GOP to invoke cloture on the crypto bill, forfeiting any leverage. Dems need to act like an opposition.

doesn’t look like it’s gonna matter though lol

Adding alt text because yes, this is important to know

I don’t know who needs to hear this but if you’re a Mormon, then ceremonial magick, folk magick, and witchcraft are part of your heritage. You can just be a wizard if you want to.

👀: “Two Israeli officials claimed to Axios that Trump and his aides were only pretending to oppose an Israeli attack in public — and didn't express opposition in private. ‘We had a clear U.S. green light,’ one claimed.”

"I have my whole work day planned out! I'm gonna meet that deadline!" Boss: "Happy Friday the 13th!" *retasks to an urgent matter* Me: "Good bye, day plan." *drafts email moving deadline into next week*

Trump's tank parade, which is expected to cost more than Trump's cuts to libraries in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin combined, may have to be moved indoors.

Cute how they keep inventing new names to help women not realise they’re autistic

hey look a list of 75 people to primary clerk.house.gov/Votes/2025158

It’s not just Gaza. Attacking Iran is also meant to distract from annexing the West Bank.

My team and I at the Crowd Counting Consortium (@[email protected], Soha Hammam, & Chris Shay) have a new piece out: wagingnonviolence.org/2025/06/amer.... In it, we show that through May 2025, the size and scale of anti-Trump protests have dwarfed those in 2017. 🧵

Fun fact: in the 1960s, Civil Rights protestors were given literal classes on nonviolent protest; they didn't all just spontaneously know what to do. So, if you're planning on showing up, this weekend: read this comic. And if you're staying home, signal-boost it/link it around.

If you're in the Boston area, make a point of taking part in the Dyke March. It's everything corporate Pride is not.

“Tesla’s driverless ‘robotaxis’ could launch in Austin as soon as June 22. But a demo in Austin today showed a $TSLA, manually driven to test its Full Self-Driving system, failed to stop for a child-sized dummy at a school bus—and hit it.” @cbsaustin @velez_tx

"We find no evidence that people love doing nothing" Participants of Germany's largest UBI study kept working, with no change in hours worked. They were more likely to enroll in university or change jobs. Basic income changes how you work, not whether you work.

“she had asked a boss if he would let his children fly on a plane with the litany of flaws and non-conformances he was urging her to “pencil-whip”: “Cindy, none of these planes are staying in America, they’re all going overseas,” he retorted, much to her horror”

Lovecraftesque and all the expansions will be available as well as Wreck This Deck! if you want to check out our stuff at #Origins2025 on the IPR booth! Booth 1203

“Traditional country” This checks out with where this disaster of a world is heading.

Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state Keep that same energy of support for her
