chuck schumer's capitulation makes much more sense when you remember that he's doing it to appeal to his imaginary friends, the Baileys

Cannot recommend this enough. Also very strongly recommend reading All Systems Red if you haven't already!

I got sent an RNC survey for some bizarre reason. Reading these questions and considering older people who just watch Fox News all day, makes realize the enormous amount of brainwashing that needs to be undone to bring them back to reality.

Remind me how AI is going to take away our jobs?

And they wonder why no one is upset when a health insurance ceo is murdered

I hope Alicia is actually AI because otherwise this is so embarrassing for an “award-winning reporter”

This story is bananas. A couple wrote an e-commerce newsletter. eBay execs didn’t like it. Now eBay is settling criminal charges for sending them a torrent of harassment by mail, including live spiders & cockroaches, a bloody pig mask & a funeral wreath. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Time to buy some King Arthur. www.dailydot.com/debug/king-a...

hey so existing as trans right now means a daily absolute onslaught of legislators (LITERALLY) moving to criminalize our existence cis people, now more than ever, WE NEED YOU TO SPEAK OUT ABOUT IT so many cis people ignore *us* but THEY WILL LISTEN TO **YOU**

Ohhh, uhh, no thank you.

Per this poster, the Spider Body Butter really may be bringing all the (spider) boys to the yard www.reddit.com/r/Sephora/s/...

As a middle-aged woman I would like to propose that all funding is pulled from Torment Nexus projects, and switched to Warm Goo Healing Pod please!

Stuff like this is really important to pay attention to bc it's a reminder that CA is not as unshakeably liberal as many people seem to think it is. The steady push of rhetoric and legislation elsewhere in the country emboldens hateful people here. (Like the M4L scum making bomb threats in Davis!)

Programming is chaotic magic. There are no rules. You ask a game dev “Can the player summon a giant demon that bursts from the ground in an explosion of lava?” and they’ll say “sure, that’s easy” and then you’ll ask “can the player wear a scarf?” and they’ll go “oof”

I like how the FedEx tracker says “WE HAVE YOUR PACKAGE.” Is it okay? Can I see a picture of it holding today’s newspaper? Let me just talk to it for a second so I can hear its little voice

how we envisioned the dark future: you wear leather and buy brain stims from a small store in an alley. your wrist computer helps you hack actual dark future: your $89 pants rip after 8 wears. adderall shortage. your wrist computer makes you stand up hourly and buzzes with email from your boss

The video is quite something to watch. The disconnection from reality is astonishing. The behavior is that of a toddler failing to pull off a showstopping move. He didn’t get the reaction he wanted the first time, so he kept repeating it

This is one of the weirdest and funniest misprints ever, and it’s all the better because it predates digital typesetting. Would love to know WTF happened. Re-skeeting because everyone should see and enjoy this beauty

I think the fact that we did fix these things and it didn't make it into collective memory is a big part of the apathy toward climate change now. A lot of us remember being warned about all this stuff as kids only for it to go away without much discussion - *because we fixed it*.

When I got into sewing as a hobby, I wasn’t expecting to do so much papercraft too. 😄

This really is the greatest correction of all time.
