Smut! Give me smut and nothing but! A dirty novel I can't shut If it's uncut And unsubt- -tle.

YouTube declares open season on disinformation, slurs, and pseudoscience:

Prosecutors on Monday sought a 10-year prison term for U.S. Marine Lance Cpl. Jamel Clayton, 22, for nonconsensual sexual intercourse resulting in injury to a woman in Okinawa Prefecture.

some of the media is like, aaargh, LA is a hellscape right now, while there's someone on the Pokemon Go subreddit asking where a good place is for an upcoming event lol

One of my early core memories was getting stepped on by a Disney World horse. DISNEY WORLD. I PROMISE YOU THE ARE VERY TRAINED. The horse stepped on me, and refused to get off me. My father was punching the fucking horse. The horse guy was beating on the horse. The horse was like, fuck this kid

MAGA Furry Online Life Cycle: 2016-2020: “YEAH NOW THOSE LEFTISTS CAN KIDS MY ASS WOOOOOO!” 2021-2024: “I have decided not to be PAW-litical. We should all just get along, furry should be about furry only! I’m just gonna be a big dumb animal UwU!” 2025: “DEPORT EVERYONE AND PROSECUTE BIDEN OwO!”

I hope someday I look back and think I was wildly overreacting by making sure I have the U.S. birth certificates for my Latino husband and kids at hand. I just keep thinking of what my Jewish grandmother, who survived the Holocaust, once told me: “We thought we were German.”

A civilian ship in the UK's jurisdiction (and on a lawful journey) has been hijacked and its crew kidnapped in the middle east, and personally I think that's something the UK government should do something about.

Even AI proponents would concede it’s something of a moving target. This feels about as sensible as setting a goal of 7 million workers fluent in ActionScript by 2030

I really shouldn't say exactly how recently it was that I realised "breakfast" literally means "break fast" 🥚🍳

"One of the biggest AI projects in the NHS has been paused after concerns were raised that it may have used the health records of 57 million people without the correct permissions." [Observer]

La série « Adolescence » pourra être diffusée en classe, annonce Elisabeth Borne

I am on the other side of the world from Los Angeles and I just heard a news grab on our national radio station of Maxine Waters telling a cop "Are you gonna shoot an elected representative? If you shoot me, you better shoot straight" and she remains one of the best to ever do it

This is another reason you should be extremely skeptical of widespread delivery drones

For anyone who thinks I'm joking here (and it's funny, but no) rumor is that the National Guard deployed in LA was sent under a 29 day order to avoid housing allowances, which means they have to fully pay for their own shelter. In LA. Zero notice. Durable fascisms don't shortchange the muscle.

True story bro.

On the way back from an errand to Worcester this morning Mrs Clanger and I found ourselves behind a car sporting this. Yes, a giant pink wind-up key.

Meanwhile this morning, breakfast in bed is being shared. #EverybodyLovesMousecow #AndMissyToo

I know we say this a lot. But I think this is the funniest thing to ever happen.

Any industry eliminating entry level roles where new, younger employees learn on the job before promotion to more advanced, decision-making roles is sawing through the branch it's sitting on.

Ooops my bad, accidentally posted Saturday's video again. THIS was Sunday morning.

You don’t have to be a kabuki expert to be impressed — Ryo Yoshizawa and Ryusei Yokohama deliver stage performances that are both convincing as kabuki and arresting as drama in "Kokuho."

A cis women's rugby team played a trans women's rugby team and won 34-7. Naturally, Oliver Brown, who likes that his job gives him free reign to attack women, is not pleased, perhaps because he's spent years telling us how shit cis women are at everything

Now there’s a sentence I’ve never read before…

beyond the thin veneer of concern behind all of these opeds is the much simpler truth that their authors desperately want to describe something that is very obviously their problem (fewer people want to post in the venues they like more) as though it were our problem

It’s not just that it’s clearly intentional, it’s that it’s clearly intentional knowing that he’s being recorded. They know they can do whatever they want with complete impunity.
