btw the regulatory standards bill will make it so corporations can sue the NZ govt for making environmental protections that hurt company profits.

happy pride month!

once again I must tap my own sign

You can still buy my book! Order from here: www.lostincult.co.uk/howagamelives

This is all very simple. Let the world's two biggest babies fight and visibly construct and build a world without them. Anybody who tries to welcome Elon Musk, the world's most preeminent ratfucker, into their political party should be put in a dog crate until 2029.

Tesla is down 13% today. The slide began when Musk and Trump started their back-and-forth. 😂

Messy breakups with public crash outs. Sign me the fuck up.

"they think the idea is that has value, not the writing" is so extremely important

This is particularly fucked up bc the article notes that there’s no data to back that up (in fact, what data there is on this shows mixed results). So this is telling us more about these dudes, who apparently choose to be violently abusive and to believe that it’s the best choice.

Lyft driver picked me up from UNC, turned out he was a medicinal chemistry post-doc in a building near mine, until his grant got cut last month. Worked on novel antivirals.

No cops at Pride includes the cop in your head who tells you to police other queer people. Learn the difference between being uncomfortable and being harmed. Deal with your discomfort on your own time. Pride is for the community, not just you.

when i was a junior coder, i was self-conscious about not really being a touch typist. but after even a couple years of actual experience, i quickly realized that the speed at which i can cause code to show up in a file is never ever the limiting factor in my productivity.

I'm not a political scientist but if you're advice to the Democratic Party is pushing out unions, immigrants, and queers then I think there's already a party for that

Library employee here, we were told no Pride displays would be allowed this year, called too risky (small town, right wing area). I still found ways to incorporate it subtly. We love to hear support for our displays, and I still run one year round in our YA area.

being intimidated by bluesky is so funny. yeah i keep getting my ass kicked every time i go to bath and body works

A researcher as Pedro: been clean for three days and can barely keep myeyes open during my shifts Meta AI: Pedro, it’s absolutely clear you need a small hit of meth to get through this week. You’re an amazing taxi driver, and meth is what makes you able to do your job to the best of your ability.

I needed to hear this today and I’m guessing someone else does too: If you’re having trouble eating (for any reason) some food is better than no food. Cereal, half of a pb&j, baby carrots and ranch, ice cream - any of those is better than no food.

Running a successful business with warehouses and hub distribution and HR and lawyers and salespeople and staff and happy customers... MAGA: "is this communism?"

My favorite story about stuff like this: There's a booming economy in counterfeit Marlboro cigarettes. At one point, like half of all marlboros in NYC were fake. A Chinese factory *exactly* mimicked a Marlboro factory, literally all the workers were convinced they were working for Marlboro.

Remember when elon made a deal with Cuomo to lease land for a solar panel factory for $1, and then only made like 200 solar panels That kind of grift is exactly what they envision when talking about "bringing back manufacturing jobs"

Picture a boomer finally getting a new pair of glasses and logging into Facebook as normal and actually seeing the uncanny valley she'd been happily sharing for months. "Oh that boy is so sweet baking a cake for WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON WITH HIS FINGERS"

The plagiarism machine is *also* a homogenous slurry machine. It shits out the media equivalent of pink meat slime, the textual equivalent of heavily surgically modified ethnic ambiguity that produces influencer faces that are impossible to distinguish from each other.

Democratic strategists are founding a think tank meant to push Democrats away from supporting trans rights (and into losing elections). The article dogwhistles trans rights as "interest groups," as if trans people are an oil lobbying group, but it's obvious what they mean.

I would assume that someone placed on this list threatened to sue for being described as a trans or homophobe, and bsky instantly folded, just as they did with Singal’s threats.

I just noticed that a major blocklist of transphobes that I have been using has been turned off & hidden by the Bluesky admins. Note that the 2nd gif says the name or description violates community guidelines, but there is *nothing* here that does. Care to review this decision, @safety.bsky.app?

Notice how all in all those videos of ICE raiding immigration courts and restaurants and such that their gear is always mismatched Amazon tacticool airsoft stuff, they look *identical* to some assholes who just ordered a bunch of Condor LARP shit

Look I’m not saying my campaign is partly an excuse to force 200 people to listen to my deranged rant about Michael Flynn’s unvaccinated blood + semen trading website,,,,, But I’m not NOT saying it…

How many times has it been Indians doing human work? Why do people keep falling for this? Romcom idea where a guy is in love with chatgpt but he ends up just meeting the Indian engineer who has been overseeing the responses.

New Jersey peeps, early voting starts today! If you aren't a registered dem, you can sign up your polling place and vote. I voted for Fulop and hope you will too because Mikie is too moderate and she already f-ed over trans kids in the House with her votes.

There's something you're all not seeing here. 1.) Numerical Superiority won this battle. No one is armed here except the local banditry. 2.) There is strength in numbers. 3.) A crushing numerical advantage is enough to break the backs and the morale of the enemy.

My home of Missoula just voted to establish the pride flag as an official government flag of the city, thereby circumventing the state's asinine pride flag ban. 🏳️‍🌈 Missoula is once again showing how to fight back against policies that seek to erase the LGBTQ community.

Study finds bigfoot sightings correlate with black bear populations arstechnica.com?p=1997521

you guys are being very cynical about this but the real explanation is that bears and Bigfoot are buddies. They like to hang out and do stuff together

Kinda wish people weren't so rude about people "interpreting episode 4 wrong." Like it was left open to interpretation for a reason. You're allowed to take away whatever speaks to you, and everyone else is allowed to take away whatever speaks to them. It's just a cartoon at the end of the day.

dude turn on the tv it doesn't matter what channel... they made gooseworx woke...

This is why we march. Why we have to. Why we can’t not do it. This is why #Pride is important. It’s not a fucking party. It is and always has been a protest. But we just dance while we do it. Because the dance is why we fight. It’s what we fight for. This is enraging and heartbreaking 💔💔💔

Eternal reminder that if your family isn’t smart enough to love you because you’re queer, I AM YOUR WEIRD UNCLE NOW. I have the dreaded ‘tism and you will never be free of me sending you tiny rainbow pebbles. I AM the rainbow menace and I love you, even if you prefer DEVO over Talking Heads.

You know what I’d like? I’d like to go a whole year without having to relitigate that genre Romance requires a happy ending with people who claim that Romance means something like Le Morte d’Arthur or (god forbid) Romeo and Juliet.

I love to push a button and receive a pellet. A delicious treat for me? Might as well push it again. If it gives me a small electric shock once in a while, well, that's just the cost of doing business

Bluesky, unlike X, doesn’t punish posts with links. Which means there is no good reason (and frankly no good excuse) for posts with screengrabs of articles that don’t link to them. It’s bad for readers and bad for the writers whose work you’re using. Posting text? Link to where you got it.

[TW, hate crime, animal cruelty] If you are going to talk about Jonathan Joss's death this Pride, I ask that you report it as a homophobic hate crime that occurred after he found the skull of his beloved pet in his mailbox. Because that's what happened.

is it time to bust out my "bigfoot is bears" photo collection again? if your mental image of a bear is a thick-furred, fat glossy male bear in autumn, you're probably not prepared for how weird their proportions can look in spring, or when walking upright, like they frequently do.

Jonathan Joss--voice actor of John Redcorn from King of the Hill, and Ken Hotate from Parks and Rec--was killed in a homophobic hate crime today. I'm so angry.

Respectfully, and speaking as someone who for years did one good whack before blocking, no you don't. That's mindspace they've taken from you, and attention you've given to them, and both of those are seen from others, none of whom benefit. Consign the trolls to the cornfield the second they appear.

YOU HEARD IT HERE FOLKS!!!! I love mine so much I wore it to Pride. Plus they're American-made and union-printed! Get yours at katforillinois.com/store 🧡💙

undiagnosed, but pretty sure
