who, me?

"Tools for not thinking" vs "tools for thinking" is a useful framework!

Every time I remember that The Shaggy Dog exists I think specifically about this scene and I holler lol

oh my god

every time some millennial complains about skibido toilet, i wanna shake em and scream, “bitch! your spoon is too big! somebody set you up the bomb! do you have stairs in your house?”

This would unironically be better evidence for demons than we have for ROGD, because the ROGD "study" didn't even have 100% of hate forum users agreeing

the natural progression of transphobia is to further narrow the definition of womanhood into a finer and finer point, to sharpen it into a tip to stab your lessers with

JUST BECAUSE THE CLOWN CAR GOES VERY FAST DOES NOT MEAN IT ISN’T FULL OF CLOWNS

This is the danger of memes. This right here. Not trying to stan for banks, obviously, and it's not like banking is easily *accessible* to everyone but lord almighty where the heck are people getting the idea that bank accounts are "expensive" So many free options. Plus credit unions!

Instagram appears to have summarized the modern internet for me this morning:

Manic pixie dream girl meme SOLVED

It's one thing for people to not have much of an idea of what using an electric car is like. It's a completely other, maddeningly infuriating thing when people simply will not accept simple facts like "the circuit that powers a clothes dryer provides at least 100 miles of driving range overnight"

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

Dnd gives you the impossible fantasy of being -checks cards- French

Very little has surprised me about how this has all gone so far—maybe how fast and how hard they’ve gone—but honestly I’m pretty stunned by “accidentally included a journalist in top secret military planning via Signal chat complete with American flag and praying emojis”

Probably the only reason commie blocks aren't considered one of the greatest inventions of the 20th century is that Americans don't rely on them.

THE EMPIRE DOES FALL. Season 3 coming soon.

THEY DONT EVEN PASS THIS SIMPLE TEST WTF

Holding A Gaslight, Gatekeep, and Girlboss Seminar! When?: I already told you Where: You wouldn't like it there anyway Who?: Facilitators- Me

“HRT can’t change this … HRT can’t change that …” Oh yeah??? Well ,, HRT made me pregnant !!!!

I helped build a government AI system. DOGE fired me, rolled the AI out to the whole agency, and implied the AI can do my job and the jobs of the others they've fired. It can't. But, what DOGE accidentally revealed about themselves in the process is fascinating. 🧵

Well, I have successfully made it in (and now, thank god, out) of the United States. Idk if/when I will be back—which is sad, because I love US folks. Once again, they did not make it easy. I will explain.

And I'm not saying that every person who's older is like this at all. But I remember how the boomers killed their gen x kids if they were gay - threw them out, a whole generation laughing as aids swept through gay communities, then wrote article after article about hating millennials.

always blows my mind that Starfleet and the state of Kansas share the same motto

hey what the fuck

I’ve been thinking about this tweet a lot recently

creating a hybrid drug called progestrogen that gives you all the tiddy and all the horny and all the crying you could ever want

So, because our space book talks a bit about Antarctic psychology in the context of space psychology, a few people have been sending me this article: www.thetimes.com/article/17fd...

the number of anti-trans bigots whose entire understanding of trans people seems to come from porn about trans women made for straight men is too damn high

20 years of bitching about woke humanities departments and the first thing they do is defund STEM

one of my fun crackpot beliefs is that loss is going to become one of those great historical mysteries when so much of the digital landscape no longer exists

A show about people who went through a traumatic childhood experience, with separate time lines like in Yellow Jackets, but the adult cast is just the child actors in trench coats, replaced by older actors as they deal with their trauma and move on.

The Americans have no memory of a society that just destroys its political arrangements for no good reason apart from ideology, but every Chinese person older than 60 knows exactly what’s going on

The idlegames of March

This sounds like the kind of shitty comic book plot that leads to Captain America having been a HYDRA agent the whole time.
