Kanye openly coming out as a chaser would be a lot cooler if it didn't coincide with him going full Nazi.

Sketches of Luigi Mangione in court:

Wage theft ass having binches 😀

it's wild how fried people's brains are vis-a-vis factory work. "no american would ever do such punishing labor" hey. hey. do you think bad working conditions are innate to the job? do you really think we outsourced factory labor because americans are lazy? or did you just forget about unions again

Happy 36th anniversary to "Lullaby" by The Cure.

One of my issues with new wave revival music is that a lot of it focuses solely on emulating the sound and not enough on the subject matter. Fun synthy music is great and all, but the thing that drew me into new wave as a youth was the weird subject matter.

Catholic and East Orthodox Christian Easter are on the same day this year.

Kids are too busy transing their gender to be warriors anymore

There was this book I read in middle school (so it came out in the early/mid-2000s at the latest) that was a retelling of the Sword and the Stone story, but I don't remember what it was called. Merlin gets called "Merlinnus." Pretty sure it was a standalone book and I think the author was female.

I must begrudgingly admit that the environmental movement would likely benefit greatly from some sort of evangelical segment. People can't just save the Earth because they care about other lives or even their own, but maybe they will if they think it's their spiritual duty?

The National Weather Service says a "multi-day catastrophic and potentially historic" storm is expected to impact multiple states beginning on Wednesday.

a little psst from midtown baltimore

They targeted gamers. Gamers. We're a group of people who will sit for hours, days, even weeks on end performing some of the hardest, most mentally demanding tasks. Over, and over, and over all for nothing more than a little digital token saying we did. We'll punish our selfs doing things others

Can confirm these numbers, this is hilarious

"Age verification" laws are actually "upload your ID or get your face scanned to access every website, ending anonymity and associating your identity with everything you do online" laws and if more people understood that they would not be down for this authoritarian nonsense

I feel contractually obligated to watch The Secret of Kells after having taken a picture of the mural by its animation studio while I was in Ireland.

This TDoV has really made me miss being in a beautiful t4t relationship. I need to ~manifest~ another one.

Byzantine Empire Broes > Roman Empire Broes

No, it's not hard to go out and buy native seed packs... after you research what's native (actually native, not just commonly found after being introduced), what's easy to grow (no cold stratification required), find a shop with your local ecotype, etc. This project has done that work for you! πŸ™Œ

Trump's 3/27 executive order targets the Smithsonian for advancing "the view that race is not a biological reality but a social construct." Trump argues that the exhibit's statement, below, is unscientific. He's wrong. As a biology professor and population geneticist, I agree with every word of it.

men love to tell my my work is only popular because i'm a trans woman, to which my only response is, yeah that's why we dominate the publishing industry and everyone loves us so much

there's no version of mass deportation that looks any different from this. imo a better use of dems' time and energy the last few years would've been to try to convince the public of that than what they did instead (concede on and insodoing reify the idea that a large # of deportations is necessary)

So whilst I was in court we got to "Jews are infecting the trans community and being Jewish is somehow inherently pro-Israel and no one should be Jewish"? Really?

Haunted house for people with Auditory Processing Disorder where it's just the Check Voicemail symbol painted all over the walls 😱

Race is a human invention. Race is not a biological reality. #Anthropologist I have literally taught this to undergrads. americananthro.org/about/polici...

Why did the Blu-ray change the cover of Society (1989)? The original cover was perfect!

I must confess that the AI Ghibli art version of the JFK assassination did make me laugh. Sort of like the AI 9/11 gender reveal party. Maybe that's the one thing AI can be ethically used for: whimsical recreations of horrific events that most humans have too much shame to make themselves.

I actually just got off the phone to a call centre 20 minutes ago, and the automated thing at the start was a fucking nightmare until I finally got put through to a human. Calling it AI is bollocks, it may be artificial but it's sure as hell not intelligent.

I really can’t describe how much generous you are my supporters, you are the most generous people in the world, we are the most close we are 99% πŸ«‚πŸ«‚πŸ«‚πŸ«‚πŸ«‚ gofund.me/a625d5ba

the AI studio ghibli graphic the White House just tweeted mocking someone's deportation actually filled me with a level of despair that i can't even put to words

tfw one of the members of your thesis committee invites two IDF soldiers to campus -_-

The bigger question we should be asking is: Why are Trump officials using Signal for their communications instead of formal, traceable channels? The answer seems clear β€” to avoid transparency.
