Oh my god I just got it. He’s a troll from Homestuck. The US president tweets like a troll from Homestuck. He even has One Of Those Typing Quirk Things they do. This explains so much.

Madison continues to gather all weekend at the site of Corey Ruiz’s murder. It has been very peaceful & emotional. Last night after 1am a car attempted to drive through the barricade and hit people. Please be careful if you are there after dark.

My parasocial dream is to one day have a normal-ass interaction with John Darnielle where we are both just going about our business and barely interact with each other beyond “excuse me”, “thank you”, “have a nice day” type shit

Y’all, today has been a fuckin adventure. Normal-ass workday, but then on my way to drop off rent at the landlord’s I took a 3-hour detour to rescue a baby rabbit from the middle of the road, which had me meeting lots of wonderful people including… [1/4]

… is a DNR-licensed wildlife rehabilitater, and whose neighbor has the same name as me. Now I’m sitting in my car outside my friend’s house (my friend is most certainly asleep by now) eating a sandwich for dinner at 11:30 PM and waiting for the rain to let up before… [3/4]

People have been really loud and active around the bathhouse ordinance, but this is essential work that doesn’t get the same of attention It’s not flashy, but it makes tangible actual improvements to city law including ensuring Minneapolis remains a safe haven for gender affirming care access 🧵

"It’s generations of broken promises, stolen resources, ignored rights, and a government that’s decided it can keep pushing until someone pushes back hard enough. The chiefs are telling you, loud and clear, that moment has arrived." #abpoli #cdnpoli

Gas is $6, nobody can afford a house, and we just kicked starving people off SNAP so they now have to pay $8 for cereal. Why are we even doing this at all right now?

BREAKING: Blue Origin's New Glenn blows up at Launch Complex-36 while attempting to static fire.

Fuck it, made my first comic since I was like 10 or something. This is RJ, short for Roadkill Jesus. They die a lot but they always get better!

The Blender donut guy being pro-AI feels bad but I’m not surprised tbh. Huge respect for the good he’s done for the Blender community, but at the end of the day he’s a cis-het white dude whose job involves a lot of “look at this cool new tech”… (1/3)

so it makes sense to me that he would overlook the ethics of it. I seem to recall him expressing the “LLMs are here to stay, so get with it or fall behind” angle. (2/3)

Also he literally said “call me a delusional tech bro, but…” in his latest newsletter so like, sorry man but if the shoe fits... I’m glad Blender cancelled the Anthropic partnership at least. (3/3)

I may be lactose intolerant but sometimes you need loaded potato soup and there’s no two ways about it. Thankful for lactase pills.

Tornado watch in Rochester rn so we’re all just chilling in the basement at work. You think if I ordered a pizza they would deliver it?

BAFTA pulling a trailer for an autobiographical game about surviving sexual assault only hours before it was said to be a part of a showcase is an exceptionally bad look.

It is being reported on the ground in Cuba that everyone on a ventilator at this hospital died overnight. As a Cuban, I'm devastated.

Arturo Dominguez@extremearturo.bsky.social

This is what I was hoping to see from influencers and independent journalists who traveled to Cuba. The impacts of U.S. actions aren't getting the attention they deserve in mainstream media. My people are being ignored in the U.S. news.

And now here comes the rain, rising over the silence And I am engulfed in a torrent that washes away all else With thunder as its herald And lightning painting ghosts into life mere moments at a time The rain sweeps me away To a place where my mind can let my body rest

there's a part of my brain that immediately tries to invalidate all of my thoughts. like, sometimes I can't even follow an idea for more than a moment because I just cut myself off as soon as I process the initial thought

and then sometimes I just start spiraling in on myself until my mind is just static noise, a persistent chain of starting and stopping, 1 and 0

until inevitably I tire myself out and the noise fades to quiet and then I'm like "oh, shit, things exist outside of my head apparently"

Zelensky on Venezuela: “About Venezuela? How should I respond to that? Well, what can I say? If… If it is possible to act with dictators like this, it means the United States knows what to do next. Thank you” Omg I love it.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

After the AI bubble I hope the next bubble is Laser Tag. Laser tag arenas on every street corner. Blacklight lit battlefields propping up every sector of the economy. A one story building by the side of the highway called “Blast Zone: Pizza & Arcade” valued at $2.7 trillion

I feel all smushed up inside. And my life feels all smushed up outside. I am the old lady who lived in a shoe except the shoe and I got smushed by a bigger shoe with a big ol’ foot inside it. Now I’m smushed and smelly and unhappy.

Do people just follow anyone and everyone? I’ve got 51 followers apparently. I feel like I would struggle to name 51 people I know personally in real life. It’s not like anything I’ve said here has gotten any traction, so what gives? Anyway guess I’m just venting at the internet now :/

Taking a short vacation from sleeping to spend all night feeling unhopeful and dejected. Hopefully with this I’ll be recharged in no time and ready to get back to the important work of not being conscious.

Idk, I guess I'm just feeling the same sort of angst that so many people feel- that I've been feeling on and off my whole life. I feel really insignificant when I say that though.
