americans who joke about annexing canada need to realize that while canadians really are Nice People, they will not hesitate to fuck you up if you cross them. Sanctioned fistfighting is an integral part of their national sport

these rightwingers get bored fast because all they know how to do is be mad online and say evil shit, and there’s only so much being mad online and saying evil shit especially if your targets all leave your space

Joann Fabrics is closing down all their stores and if you have a gift card the last day to use it is this Friday, Feb 28th. RIP to a creative arts giant you were mediocre at best and horribly mismanaged for decades 🫡

I know that at least part of the podcast industry will hurt from this 🥴 can't even begin to describe how many tools have pivoted to AI as a significant portion of their offerings and workflows

I will say to the people who are excited about the AI bubble popping: if i am correct (nothing I say is financial advice) it will ravage the markets in a way that will hurt just about everybody. It won't just hit tech. Satya Nadella, Sundar Pichai and Mark Zuckerberg must be held responsible.

BREAKING: Mexican President Sheinbaum argues that if cartels are deemed terrorist orgs, then the suppliers of weapons—over 74% of which come FROM the U.S.—should ALSO face accountability for enabling terrorism. As a result, Mexico is expanding its lawsuit targeting U.S gun manufacturers. 🇲🇽

Someone came out of the yarn room

The fibre arts community has so much ridiculous drama and it fuels my soul. Do you know how many people have faked their own deaths to get out of giving people yarn they paid for?! It's so good it's SO good

(AP) — Elon Musk’s cost-cutting team is eliminating jobs at the vehicle safety agency that oversees Tesla and has launched investigations into deadly crashes involving his company’s cars. #OligarchEra 🇺🇸 apnews.com/article/musk...

Oh my god, Eric Adams is going to accidentally free Luigi. Amazing.

I got a shipment of yarn today - nothing fancy, just three acrylic skeins to make a baby cardigan in this gorgeous lavender colour - and it's wild how much that improved my mood. Perhaps we should all be getting yarn in the mail

Luigi Mangione STUNS in bulletproof vest!

Okay I know Musk hasn't experienced a single second of sobriety since the Obama administration but what on earth is it with this guy and really limp visual gags? Remember when he brought the sink to Twitter HQ so he could "let that sink in". It's like Family Guy and Carrot Top's melted baby

Happy Black History Month

DNC Aiming To Reconnect With Working-Class Americans With New ‘Hamilton’-Inspired Lena Dunham Web Series

I got us Cinnamoroll walkie talkies so we can talk to each other from different rooms and it is such a delight I cannot believe we didn't do this sooner

The Neopets Team's absolute dedication to alienating every single one of their players is genuinely awe-inspiring. I, too, one day wish to frequently insult and blame the very people who give me money and keep me employed for my own years-long mistakes. Gaslight gatekeep girlboss forever

Seen in Brooklyn this AM: an egged cybertruck with a bag of dogshit and also unbagged dogshit

Marge hasn't been eating much at all lately because she is very depressed about being kicked out of the bedroom most of the day while Chloe is in there doing post-surgery care. I've been so fussy and worried about her that this evening the lil lady pretended to eat so it would make me feel better 😭

I attended an online queer knitting/crochet/crafting group that I found on MeetUp of all places and it was actually really really nice?? I was half expecting an absolute dumpster fire but everyone was so cool and lovely and I'm gonna attend again

they got rid of all these guys

If I get on a plane and the takeoff announcements don't contain a land acknowledgement or the pilots' pronouns, I am jumping off the fucking thing.

Newsletter: Generative AI is a marketing con perpetuated by Sam Altman and Dario Amodei through a mixture of lies and half-truths carried by a tech media that fails to ask the right questions. Outside of ChatGPT, generative AI companies barely get any traffic at all. www.wheresyoured.at/longcon/

this is not true. just letting everyone know that this is not true

NEW YORK: “A 24-year-old transgender man from Minnesota who had been missing since December was subjected to violence and torture before his remains were found this week in a field in the Finger Lakes region of upstate New York…” www.bbc.com/news/article...

Such an elegant way to heavily imply a mountain of nudes

1. On Friday, protests erupted at Stonewall National Monument, the historic site of the Stonewall uprisings that ignited the modern gay rights movement, in response to the National Park Service removing transgender people from the Stonewall Website. Subscribe to support our journalism.

I've been able to brush off most of the erasure of trans people from government websites, but this one is REALLY getting under my skin. It's just complete revisionist history. How fucking dare they Old vs. new

If you're having a rough day this is sure to cheer you up

Realized I never updated my LinkedIn to say I'm not at my last job anymore because I got solicited for publication+distribution lmaoooooo my bad my bad

i lived, paid taxes, and held a job in the US for seven years. i had to leave the country within months when my workplace folded. my entire life was there. foolish of me to build a life on a visa with no pathway to permanent residency? maybe, but having to leave was still catastrophic for me

Since everyone's still yapping about it: my knitting hot take is that if you can spend $200 on a sweater quantity of yarn but are crying about "gatekeeping" when a pattern costs $8 because "it's too expensive", you are a liar. No, really, you're a liar. Designers deserve to be paid, too.
