Fight the Empire.

I feel like we all just watched a Star Wars show about imperialists fomenting violence to justify a military invasion.

Right. I don't say "echo chamber," I say "curated experience." Also, the sort of person who wring their hands about Bluesky being an "echo chamber" works from the incorrect/intentionally deceptive idea we all don't live in the actual world. We're allowed to have spaces we design for ourselves.

I am not advocating for arson or vandalism, but... When people are protesting Against police activities You should probably Move the robots that you Own away from those protests if they constantly record their surroundings and you've previously given police access to those recordings.

You wanna compare current events to Star Wars you got fresh material only a few weeks ago with the Ghorman Arc instead of relitigating Return of the Jedi (a 42 year old movie now)

Shitler and his goons are losing their minds over this post from ABC's Terry Moran. Like, they are threatening all kinds of retribution, and he was forced to take this post down. Thing is, he's right, and maybe we can Streisand Effect this to support him and the truth.

Lots of serious stuff going on, so to throw in some inconsequential griping to break up the incipient civil war, international genocide, and global economic turmoil talk, here's my molehill that I'm willing to die on: Ko-fi should be pronounced "coffee" and not "koe fie" or anything else.

Hi! I specialize in medication toxicity. All available, real-world data has proven mifepristone is actually even safer than many over the counter medicines. Mortality rates: Mifepristone: 0.65/100,000 Penicillin 2/100K Viagra 4/100K Pregnancy in the US: 22/100,000 (some states see rates >60/100K)

If you're looking for a cozy game to play, I'd like to recommend Trash Goblin. Run a shop as a goblin tinkerer, cleaning and repairing salvaged goods. I suggest changing the Clean tool from Hold to Hover mode, though. Holding the button down is a pain in the butt, given how much you have to do it.

How is it that over an hour ago I nearly fell asleep in my chair but now that I've been in my bed for four an hour I'm wide awake? WHAT KIND OF CRUEL BEING IS IN CHARGE OF MY SLEEP? WHY WOULD THEY DO THIS TO ME?

Jonathan Joss was Comanche and Apache and an openly gay actor. He was murdered while looking at the remains of his dogs at his own house that was burnt down. The killer yelled homophobic slurs before shooting him. This is the real world consequences of the hatred that the right commodifies
