"and though they aspire to humbleness here, they are every bit as infinite as those spirits which would be regarded as great" BRENNAN LEE FUCKING MULLIGAN GOD DAMMIT

Being a parent really gives you a whole other perspective on media with kids in it, especially kids in traumatic circumstances. Relatedly, I am feeling some fucking feelings today, thanks to Worlds Beyond Number #49

NEW: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said prepackaged foods have “mass poisoned” tribal communities. But the Trump administration ended a program that tribal food banks relied on for fresh, locally produced food important to their traditions and cultures. By @maryhudetz.bsky.social

Hey @shiftf1podcast.bsky.social why is the doorbell music so good, you're not allowed to make bits be good

Good, time to die!

Toyota still has executives start by working the line specifically because understanding how a car is built is fundamental to quality and running a car company. This rush to code that is not fully understood shows how little companies value quality.

I think Sayonara Wild Hearts is probably my favorite video game. What an incredible work of art.

if your grand approach to politics is bloodless poll-testing so that you're always aligned with wherever public opinion happens to be, you've already lost

car design has gotten more dangerous in a dozen really dumb but important ways the last 15 years or so. the near-total failure to regulate them seems bad for a “developed” country

it's extremely frustrating to me to see other trans people go straight to putting slurs in well-meaning people's mouths - some of whom *are also trans* - when they say things like "I think we should play nice with political coalitions that support us"

The steady deterioration of First Amendment rights and the conflation of violence with dissent is a result not just of an authoritarian regime but of a press culture that is feckless at best and authoritarian-fluffers at worst. The New York Times is beyond redemption.

In short, they decided to railroad the guy, he got a lawyer, they were forced to follow the rules. In that order.

what if a TTRPG campaign in which the adventure hook is that somebody has died and the party is their polycule trying to find a way to bring them back

this is misinformation/fearmongering, the following thread will explain tl;dr, THERE IS NO "HIDDEN BOT" IN YOUR SERVER, it is incapable of crawling/scraping any text channels for data (reposting with corrections)

BREAKING: By an evenly divided vote, the Supreme Court affirms an Oklahoma Supreme Court decision blocking the creation of a Catholic charter school. Barrett recused, allowing for the deadlock. We don't know which conservative joined the liberals. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

Texas Rep. Nate Schatzline, sponsor of the bill that effectively bans the public display of LGBTQ+ books — or any books that reference sex — in order to protect children from "harmful materials" ... has voted against a bill to ban child marriages.

They wanted to pass this evil budget to take away healthcare from millions earlier today. It’s still stuck in the rules committee cause House Dems introduced over 500 amendments and we are lined up to debate on them. Delaying is important. Keep up the pressure on these Congressional Republicans.

You are going to see more and more of this, and it's only going to get better. And a personal litmus test can be, "Do I feel something about this thing I'm watching? Who wants me to? And to what end?" Sometimes examining those feelings first prepare you to take a second look and ask more questions.

it took me a very long time to learn that openly identifying problems before other people do, but not having immediate, non-threatening solution(s) in hand to solve them, rapidly increases the likelihood of being professionally punished, especially if you are a non-white woman

Fourteen Thousand. The long campaign to dehumanize Palestinians is, fundamentally, about this. To provide cover for the annihilation of a people and their culture, from the youngest to the oldest, to shrugs from the most powerful nations in the world.

bro it’s okay that you need ai to help you write an email. anubis has weighed your soul against the feather of fate and found you unworthy. prepare to be devoured

I also have three types of RPG characters: - Charisma McSluttyboi - "one day I'll be a real hero!" - team dad

Fact of the matter is "hey, I have uncertain feelings about my gender identity I want to discuss with a therapist who can help me make sense of them" and "I would like to change my sex characteristics" are two separate healthcare issues that can and should be provided independent of each other

Parenting is not for the faint of heart. That is all.

my “not the gestapo” shirt is raising a lot of questions already answered by my shirt and if you don’t stop asking them, i’ll have you disappeared.

Ok y'all, on this lovely day of burning plantation a quick thread about an incredibly important and very deliberately-erased part of this region's history that ain't fascist lost cause lies. Let's talk about the widespread anti-confederate resistance in the South...

"Waste" is when people get Medicaid. "Efficiency" is when you let 60,000 tons of food that's already been paid for rot instead of feeding someone with it.

ABC: “At least 153 people killed -- including 7 recovered from rubble --and 459 injured in the past 24 hours as (Israel’s) operations intensify across the Gaza Strip…” abcnews.go.com/Internationa...
