The new TDS is Tariff Derangement Syndrome This is the state of actually believing Trump’s tariffs will help the American people I feel so bad for them tbh. I can’t imagine being that far gone. To be clear I hate pathologizing stuff like this, but it’s the irony that matters here.

Whitehouse press brief summary: - Just as unhinged as ever - Pro-Palestinian protesters gonna be rounded up like immigrants - Basically lied about how tariffs work - Canada will still be 51st state Btw as a pro-Palestinian protester who can’t cross the border rn I hope that changes

They are actually lying to the American people about how tariffs work during the Whitehouse Press Briefing Not something subjective and contextual like “these people are terrorists”. Actual, checkable facts are being overwritten. Reality is totally lost on them

There’s a better way to use AI code generators Step 1: Find the library/subroutine that suits your needs YOURSELF Step 2: Find the values you need to make work within your existing framework Step 3: if it does not fit with your framework, find something else Step 4: if fits, ask Ai to implement

There is no ability for markets to make the world a better place Just look at content creators. Market incentives only care that their content does a good thing when it gets them more views The question of “is this good for others” is slowly being replaced by the question “will this be popular?”

You say you care about transgender visibility yet you shy away from collaborating with us as equals. In fact, we’re kind of just stuffed in the attic until someone has a politically motivated reason for using us. If only cisgendered could be so “undesirable”

While our leaders wage economic warfare we fight the battle through austerity. Think about that before voting in the strongman just to make the orange man mad.

I’m learning to embody fear. I’m a tarantula to an arachnophobe, The outside world to a agoraphobe, A sealed box to a claustrophobe, A a trans person to a transphobe. I’m whatever they want me to be, even when I am not.

Second SpaceX launch in a row blew up tonight, here’s a video from inside a commercial airline. If you’re wondering why they are allowed to fly in this area, the FAA had grounded flights but the leadership involved got DOGE’d.

Trump wants to help the police, yet he pardons Jan 6th rioters. Welcome to doublethink Trump wants to reduce environmental toxins, but aims to “drill baby drill!” Welcome to doublethink Trump wants to drain the swamp, yet he is a swamp monster. Welcome to doublethink

It’s crazy how thinking like a capitalist causes idiots like Cenk Uygur to sympathize with Trump and the obvious exploitation of war torn nations. Hey lunkhead, he’s working with Putin. Get your head out of your ass!

Step 1: “Trans rights go to far” Step2: “Actually, trans people have more privilege than me” Step 3: “Trump is not transphobic” Step 4: “That’s not a concentration camp, it’s free food and shelter. The rest is of us have to work for a living” Step 5: “What trans people? I don’t see any” 🙈

Btw there is not such thing as an “indestructible sign”, just ones that are highly resistant to various forms of wear and tear. Also if you can’t break it down, try building it up 😉

@daviddoel made a great comparison between Team Canada’s victory last night and the Miracle on Ice, aptly pointing out that Team USA “were the Soviets in this situation”

From a source at NIH, some grants may be nixed because the investigator’s bio sketch mentions DEI-related activities, even if the science itself has nothing to do with it.

Do you want some good Steam curators to follow? I think more than ever we need to highlight the good ones. I'll get my own plug out of the way quickly, I think it's a fantastic resource to have a big list of all the games I recommend, so consider a follow: store.steampowered.com/curator/2834...

Cisnormativity is violence. That’s why transphobes uses it against us. That’s why the far right uses it against us. That’s why the emerging Nazi party in America will use it against us. They are violent. Why are we protesting them peacefully? Are we fools?

There are actually three types of people on this world. Far right wingers, far leftists, and bandwagon hoppers who codeswitch when the team they were on seems to start losing, aka virtually every Democrat.

Caring about whether or not cis people face violence when they couldn’t give a shit if trans people do is like giving a bear your hand in hopes it won’t eat your foot They watch us get pushed out of spaces and think “I’m just glad that’s not happening to me”. This won’t end until tables turn

Caught a scud (gammarus fasciatus) in what I believe to be a molting process, as it was really pale and upside down. I need to find more lava rocks like the one it’s beside since they seem to like curling up in the pits, which is why you can spot so many here.

Me: Where do you get your climate information? Most people: Mainstream news (TV/radio/ newspapers). You? Me: Straight from climate scientists & from people already suffering from climate harm. Most people: Isn't that the same? Me: No, different universe, which explains a lot. #climatecrisis
