Doing a series rewatch of Night Court and @nanavisitor.bsky.social just showed up as a dangerous mental patient. She is adorable, hilarious, and terrifying as she attempts to murder Dan. I'm giddy right now.

I swear to fucking god. a republican governor is going to remove democrat mayors now. stop playing by rules that don't fucking matter anymore, put on your big boy pants, and do your fucking job. quislings.

Why is there such a reluctance from ENGOs to call out capitalism? I feel like orgs mostly focus on downstream issues like bad laws/policies but avoid root causes. I can’t tell if it’s ignorance or cowardice, but refusing to name the enemy just reinforces the false idea that capitalism is permanent.

If you truly want to know why someone did something, you *do not* ask them "Why did you do that?" especially not in a "pick from these reasons" survey. You talk to them and say "Tell me about doing that." If they are at ease and you shut up and listen, you will hear the real whys.

💯 Muzzling @governorwalz.mn.gov was the Dems stepping on their favorite rake.

For future reference, speaking as an expert in rhetoric and propaganda: YES. THIS IS EFFECTIVE FUCKING MESSAGING. Facts and reason do not change minds--emotion does. Presenting the truth with emotional value is how you make it effective. Christ.

Step 1 to making new friends is to chase all those rats out of your bathroom. Nobody likes a bathroom with rats in it! Step 2 is to dig a Friend Pit

This is so critical, it's what we've been waiting for in our family, too. And I am so scared these assholes in charge are going to defund and/or ban it.

it's called the Pit *of* Judgment, why are you calling it the Pit o' Judgment, do you think I can't hear the difference

I block for AI. Cover, text, social media posts, emails: if I spot it, I block.

Right now we need stories of the powerful taking it fully and cleanly in the nuts, so an A+ night start to finish.

They can take my em dashes FROM MY COLD DEAD HANDS!

Timeline cleanse! Sort of. I put together all my threads on Nazi, Klansman, etc romances in a single article, to give everyone something we can ALL hate together and ask the question: why do cishet white women love these fucking things? Content notes in the article. medium.com/@soverybee/t...

I’m seeing a lot of soft takes from industry mutuals at the moment that we shouldn’t be so hard on those who use generative AI because it’s becoming harder and harder to resist. Wrong. Betraying your ethics (and your peers) because ‘everyone else is doing it’ does not suddenly make it acceptable.

Meta illegaly downloaded 80+ terabytes of books from LibGen, Anna's Archive, and Z-library to train their AI models. In 2010, Aaron Swartz downloaded only 70 GBs of articles from JSTOR (0.0875% of Meta). Faced $1 million in fine and 35 years in jail. Took his own life in 2013.

Hey, if you think it’s ok to call someone slurs just because they’re a cockfart of a human being, you’re an unimaginative bigot and you should feel bad

Two essential human jobs are write sci fi stories and do cover illustrations for sci fi stories

This guy literally had a plan for everything, had a lifelong track record fighting for it, had a massive movement behind him, and the DNC and corporate America stopped him, deciding they'd rather play footsie with fascism to preserve their privilege.

every time i get a Big Post, I gotta repost this for reminders

I can't lie, this is so soothing right now

Well shit.

God, I love Demi Moore. The bulk of her career has been critics and executives brushing her off as just a pretty face and yet she has been *bringing it* the entire time. She is fantastic in every way.

The neoliberal dream of fossil fuel billionaire Charles Koch was always the destruction of US democracy and the elimination of government (except for its repressive organs police, courts, prisons, military ofc), and now he has won. What now? A 🧵. 1/ t.co/FKxxmLyfce

When did the young people drop "vibes" from the "it's giving [thing] vibes" sentence construction? Just noticed a bunch of people saying, with the same meaning, "it's giving [thing]" and it just sounds incomplete to me.

I KNOW some of you are horrible theater kids like myself, and I KNOW you will be interested in the news that Warners has put the entirety of Waiting for Guffman on YouTube with no ads.

Do a bad job for the Fascists.

An oldie. If you follow Selmers to the poetry society meeting in Night In The Woods, this is her poem. 1/4 #comic #nitw #nightinthewoods

Turn it off: cancel your subscription, when you go to renew it, they'll offer an AI-Free subscription. Easy. Co-pilot is garbage and a terrible privacy breach for your documents.

SO EEPY.

The CIA and FBI are evil organizations responsible for incomprehensible misery domestically and abroad and if they can’t deploy some of that evil to save their own skins one wonders what the point of it all was
