My god. A Virginia data center ran backup diesel generators full blast for 24 hours, creating a giant cloud of toxic smoke that choked its human neighbors. The government claimed there was nothing they could do.

we fucking loved it, even when there was basically nothing on it, and let me tell you something else: we loved it because of human connection, human diversity, human creativity. WE DON'T NEED A SINGLE THING ANY OF THESE COMEMIERDAS HAVE MADE AND TRIED TO SELL US IN ORDER TO HAVE A GREAT INTERNET.

We are in the “you can’t learn that anymore” stage of fascism, for anyone still keeping track.

NYT has a story about how "millions of dollars in secret spending could upend the midterms". CNN has a story about how "DHS plans to launch voter fraud investigation surge Tuesday". Our elections are in danger.

The most load-bearing rule/ruling of RPGs is actually not the Rule of Cool, but its quieter cousin: Rule of Cognitive Convenience. aka Let’s Not Interrogate the Presence of Potatoes in Middle-Earth, or How Does The Plumbing Work Here.

But maybe in a more condensed form so the button doesn't have to be the size of a CD I just feel like the "NO A.I." buttons attract slopsuckers who immediately want to proselytize about it and that is not a conversation I am going to be able to have without someone getting severely mandibled

I would like to propose the Taco Bell Principle When a person/institution Did A Problem, & IMMEDIATELY fesses up & takes proactive steps to solve it That's exactly what we want them to do? So how bout we let them live ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

A quick word on Taco Bell: That's where we found the suspected lettuce, and it's not bc Taco Bell is gross. It's bc Taco Bell is REALLY GOOD at tracing product! Keeping track of exactly where they got their ingredients, & exactly what restaurants each shipment of ingredients went to!

i love how centrists continue to do this thing where they say “if DSA becomes more front and center in the party, republicans will run on that!” as if the right doesn’t just say absolutely anything on and run on shit like peanut the squirrel or litterboxes in school bathrooms

It’s worth noting that Taco Bell identified the source before the FDA did, and promptly pulled it from their stores. The FDA didn’t even name the source until Taylor Farms outed themselves, and hasn’t issued a recall. Basically, Taco Bell is now a more reliable authority than the FDA.

I can't believe I even have to say this, but: Insisting on the reader developing basic literacy and vocabulary improvement skills is not, nor has ever been, ableism. Encountering a word you do not understand is not gatekeeping. It's an invitation for you to learn a new word. FFS.
